Official Communique from the Office of
Grand Commander Athena A. Griffith


As several factors have changed, Our Federation is now in a position to which the enactment of the Amistad Declaration is feasible. With recent developments in advancing our own nation's security and stability, and with the disestablishment of the Ralkovian Empire, it is my pleasure to make official Our Federation's stance on the Amistad Declaration.

Our Federation's history is short, and thanks to the determination of our Founders, slavery was an even smaller symptom of an already dark period of our history. One of the first tasks assigned by Griffith the First to his peacekeepers, and later the Knights of Arditi, was to eliminate slavers wherever they may be found. In the aftermath of neoliberalism's nuclear suicide, slavers and human traffickers crawled out of the ruins to trade human lives and dignity. Our first war was not the infamous conflict which we refer to as "The Federation Civil War" today, nor was it when the Founders overthrew the United Nations: our first war was against gangs of slavers who had seized the survivors of a nuclear holocaust.

When Griffith the First enacted the first laws and created Our Federation, among these laws was a simple message: Slaves will never set foot on Federation soil, for any slave that reaches our shores will automatically be free, by the force of arms if need be. During the previous administration, Our Federation remained a silent observer to the practice of Ralkovian slavery- we chose the convenience of continued alliance with Ralkovia, in the face of what had been a communistic and neoliberal onslaught threatening our country, over adding their Empire to the list of aggressors facing Our Federation. We still maintained our promise to any slave that arrived, even the Ralkovian ones, which created significant but hidden tensions between our two countries.

In the end, Our Federation also remained silent when the Empire fell. Contrary to the predictions of some publications and intelligence agencies, there was no "ODESSA for Ralkovian slavers" set up in Our Federation. As a former special operations soldier of my nation, I know this intimately.

It is precisely for the reason of our previous silence, however, that I will attempt to fix some of the wrongs of my predecessor by strengthening our position on international slavery by adding the Amistad Declaration, per decree of the Grand Commander, to the Laws of Our Federation. Effective immediately, Our Federation, as well as the Knights of Arditi, will have a proactive stance against the international slave trade, a departure from our previous focus solely on slavers within our borders.


By my hand,

Athena Agatha Griffith, Grand Commander of the Fascist Federation of the Grand World Order

To: Athena Agatha Griffith, Grand Commander of the Fascist Federation of the Grand World Order


Your Excellency!

I do not doubt that you are mostly familiar with my humble person principally in the form of the more hostile messages that I so often dispense from my desk to the various scum of the earth, and indeed, these are the principal public relations face of this office. That said, I am responsible also for organizing international cooperation with those nations that are interested in working with us on the subject of opposing slavery and human trafficking.

In light of this, I am authorized to offer your nation assistance on the following issues:

a) Helping train members of the armed forces and police services in any tactics and techniques which may be used to assist dealing with slavers and human traffickers that may fall within their reach.

b) Helping organize assistance to the formerly enslaved persons that may be rescued by the Knights of Arditi or otherwise end up within your borders (that's to say, providing appropriate training to medical personnel in your nation as well as any other government agencies that may be responsible for such assistance).

c) Helping debrief formerly enslaved persons in ways that produce militarily useful intelligence while not disrupting their psychological recovery from their ordeal. (Allanean intelligence continuously makes use of the information provided by formerly enslaved persons in our pro-active operations).

If you choose to accept this offer, I will contact my counterparts in other cabinet Ministries and the proper provisions shall be made.

Yours,
Peter Nizhinsky

We feel that mutual cooperation is the best course of action in any endeavor. While our police and military forces are quite adept, we also respect that Allanea is the most experienced anti-slaver state in the world. As such, we would be happy to work with Allanean advisors and officials in regard to enforcing the Amistad Declaration.

Additionally, the Reconnaissance and Intelligence Directorate Foreign Disclosure Office is conducting a review to make relevant intelligence regarding slaver networks and organizations releasable to the Free Kingdom's military and intelligence agencies, after a sanitization to protect GWO collection techniques and assets.

Étoile Arcture Diplomatic Directorate
Lake Concordia, New Corinth, Unitary Technocracy of Étoile Arcture



TO: Free Kingdom Ministry of Foreign Affairs
SUBJECT: Amistad Declaration on Slavery and the Rights of Man
CLASSIFICATION: Open

Date: 22 May 2022



Every year millions of lives across the world are cruelly blighted by the scourge of slavery in all its forms as perpetrated by transnational criminal organisations and even some governments as a matter of economic or social policy. The enslavement, trafficking and trading of human beings directly undermine the values on which the Unitary Technocracy of Étoile Arcture was founded in 1949 and the fundamental and inalienable rights of all people enshrined in its constitution of 1970.

A decade or more has passed since the Unitary Technocracy became signatory to a number of international instruments aimed at safeguarding and protecting the human rights and human dignity of those affected by the crime of slavery. These instruments included the Theeb Accords I & II (International Agreement Against Slavery) proposed by our honoured friends in Vetaka, the CASTLE Accords (the Coalition to Abolish Slavery, Trafficking and Linked Enterprises) and Kázmér Doctrine on Patriation of Liberated Slaves proposed by our honoured friends in Imbrinium, and recognition of World Assembly Resolution #23 Ban on Slavery and Trafficking.

With some alarm and disgust, our government notes that despite the best efforts of our international partners at disrupting and defeating the global slave trade a recent trend has emerged among some nations to openly host slave markets on their sovereign territory. Seeking to oppose better and combat this criminality the Unitary Technocracy will accede to the Amistad Declaration on Slavery and the Rights of Man as proposed by our honoured friends in Allanea.

I hereby sign and ratify the Amistad Declaration on Slavery and the Rights of Man on behalf of the General Secretariat and the populace of the Unitary Technocracy of Étoile Arcture.

Congress of the Kingdom of Mitheldalond

Begun and held at the City of Ciryalondë



JOINT RESOLUTION

To ratify and enact a version of The Amistad Declaration on Slavery and the Rights of Man.



Whereas
    the enslavement of Persons, in any form, is a crime against humanity of the highest order, not only of the individual, but also of the society that permits it; and
Whereas
    in those societies where slavery is practiced on a regular basis, there exists the rare case of a collective, societal guilt; and
Whereas
    the practice of slavery by any Group or State represents a serious threat to the international community and to civilization as a whole: Therefore be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Kingdom of Mitheldalond in Congress assembled,

(a)That Mitheldalond refuses to accept as legitimate any State, government, or organization involved in or supporting of the practice of slavery in any manner for as long as they are so engaged, instead designating them as Rogue States and criminal organizations subject to none of the traditional rights or protections afforded by national sovereignty or international law.

(b)That any state, government, or organization found to be supporting a slaver regime by military, political, or economic means shall be regarded similarly to the slaver regime itself.

(c)That Mitheldalond shall enter into no agreements or associations with any known slaver regime, and shall conduct no trade with, and permit no immigration from, any slave State or entity.

(d)That His Majesty the King of Mitheldalond is hereby authorized and directed to employ the military and law enforcement forces of Mitheldalond to seek out and bring to justice any individual found to be engaged in the slave trade. Such forces are hereby authorized and directed to stop and search any vessel, aircraft, and other asset belonging to or operated by a known slaver entity, regardless of national and jurisdictional boundaries.

    (1)That any vessel, aircraft, or other asset found to be participating in the slave trade, and any cargo they may be carrying, shall be seized and held until such time as they are no longer needed for evidence, whereupon they shall be sold at auction, the proceeds of which shall be used as needed to fund the rehabilitation and relocation of any rescued slaves.

    (2)That the crews of assets named in subsection (d)(1) shall be arrested and prosecuted in accordance with, and to the fullest extent of Mitheldalondian and international law.

    (3)That the use of capital punishment is hereby authorized as an appropriate penalty for those found guilty of slave trafficking, subject to the discretion of the Court.
(e)That should Mitheldalond enter into conflict with a slave State or organization, the conflict will not be considered resolved until slavery in said State or organization has been abolished. Further, all efforts shall be made to rescue and free as many slaves as possible for the duration of the conflict.

(f)That any other signatory nation to The Amistad Declaration on Slavery and the Rights of Man that enters into conflict with a slave State or organization for the express purpose of ending slavery, and not for the purpose of furthering any territorial, military, or political ambitions in the area, shall upon request be granted use of Mitheldalondian bases and facilities.

(g)That should any signatory nation come under threat of attack from a slave State or organization, or from a neutral nation while in the process of conducting anti-slaver operations, Mitheldalond shall upon request assist in the defense of the signatory nation.

Official Statement From The State Department Of The United States Of Columbia:




The United States Of Columbia undisputedly support the initiative put forward by the esteemed Free Kingdom Of Allanea. The Free Kingdom Of Allanea and other fellow nations who are signatory to the Amistad have shown their willingness to fight against the menace and wickedness of slavery.

Columbia vehemently and strongly condemns those who engage in the sin of slavery and enslave their fellow human beings. The United States Of Columbia will combat and destroy those who engage in the evil and criminal act of slavery. Slavery is the most disgusting disdain of humanity. Those who are complicit in this evil act shouldn't be considered human beings.

Slavery must be destroyed in all forms and those who courage and profit from this action should be brought to justice. The United States Of Columbia pledges to wage an eternal war against those nations who employ the wicked act of slavery and forced labour. The United States will raid and seize all ships carrying human cargo from the galaxies of Andromeda to the ports of Singapore.

The United States together here join all other nations who have pledged to fight against slavery and their profiteers by signing the ultimate document of human rights and freedom of man which he has inherited since his birth.

I, as the Deputy Secretary Of State, Of The United States Of Columbia, hereby sign the Amistad Declaration On Slavery and Human Rights.

Signed, Deputy Secretary Of State George Bernard.

We, the Principality of New Treyland, declare hereafter our allegiance the following principles:

1. Chattel slavery is among the highest crimes that exist. We, the undersigned states and alliances, refuse to recognize the general protection granted by national sovereignty or customary international law to slaver regimes. Slavery is a crime.

2. Slavery is a crime, and therefore it must be punished. We, the undersigned, hereby declare war on those states that practice chattel slavery in all its forms.

3. Slavery is a crime not only of the individual, but often also of the society that allows it to persist. In those societies where chattel slavery is practiced on a regular basis, there exists the rare case of a collective, societal guilt. We will declare total, unbridled war against the slavers. We will spare no means, no weapon, no tactic we find appropriate to the advancement of our just cause.

4. Each of the undersigned states will practice warfare by its own design and within the capacity of its armed forces, with the sole objective to strike the slavers with all our might.

5. All signatories should take the utmost effort throughout this conflict to not merely kill slavers, but to also damage the slaver economies, through the destruction of infrastructure, farmland, and property.

6. Finally, we must remember that the goal of this conflict is, in the long run, to secure freedom to slaves. As such, all signatories will take an effort to liberate as many slaves as possible through armed force, and deliver them to safety. Separate agreements will be negotiated separately to assist the liberated slaves after their rescue.

7. Should a neutral nation, not otherwise linked to the present conflict, attack or blockade a signatory for participating it, the signatories of the declaration will defend that nation from such incursion.

To be Abhorred
That is the mark of the Slaver
To be Reviled
That is the mark of the Slaver
To be Hunted
That is the mark of the Slaver
To be Purged
For that is the fate of all Slavers

1. Chattel slavery is among the highest crimes that exist. We, the undersigned states and alliances, refuse to recognize the general protection granted by national sovereignty or customary international law to slaver regimes. Slavery is a crime.

2. Slavery is a crime, and therefore it must be punished. We, the undersigned, hereby declare war on those states that practice chattel slavery in all its forms.

3. Slavery is a crime not only of the individual, but often also of the society that allows it to persist. In those societies where chattel slavery is practiced on a regular basis, there exists the rare case of a collective, societal guilt. We will declare total, unbridled war against the slavers. We will spare no means, no weapon, no tactic we find appropriate to the advancement of our just cause.

4. Each of the undersigned states will practice warfare by its own design and within the capacity of its armed forces, with the sole objective to strike the slavers with all our might.

5. All signatories should take the utmost effort throughout this conflict to not merely kill slavers, but to also damage the slaver economies, through the destruction of infrastructure, farmland, and property.

6. Finally, we must remember that the goal of this conflict is, in the long run, to secure freedom to slaves. As such, all signatories will take an effort to liberate as many slaves as possible through armed force, and deliver them to safety. Separate agreements will be negotiated separately to assist the liberated slaves after their rescue.

7. Should a neutral nation, not otherwise linked to the present conflict, attack or blockade a signatory for participating it, the signatories of the declaration will defend that nation from such incursion.

To be Abhorred
That is the mark of the Slaver
To be Reviled
That is the mark of the Slaver
To be Hunted
That is the mark of the Slaver
To be Purged
For that is the fate of all Slavers

To the Signatories of The Amistad Declaration and to the world,

Pursuant to recent legislation enacted by the Senate of The Vorindun, and well aware of the prominent role of the Free Kingdom of Allanea in the liberation of The Vorindun from the pro-slavery Fatherland Front in 2012, His Imperial Majesty, Martin I, Kaiser of The Vorindun, King of the Germans and Goths, Patrician of the Romans, Father of the Fatherland, and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of The Vorindun, hereby affixes his own signature to this document.

Counter-signed by the Minister-President, Vidiges Odoacer, and Consul and Advocatus Peregrinus, Petronius Calvinus, on this Tuesday, 4 July, Anno Domini 2023.
"The privilege of opening the first trial in history for crimes against the peace of the world imposes a grave responsibility. The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored, because it cannot survive their being repeated. That four great nations, flushed with victory and stung with injury stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law is one of the most significant tributes that Power has ever paid to Reason." Robert H. Jackson

In support of the Amistand Declaration on Slavery and the Rights of Man the Texkentuck Monarchy Republic Federation will send a signed Declaration Soon to be apart of the treaty but in the leading up to the treaty we are having a week long demonstration in Dominion Square of Capitalist bloc about the horrendous practice that is slavery. In Dominion square many citizens are showing their support for this treaty and people are being more educated at the event of the international situation on slavery and why Texkentuck troops are being deployed to sabotage coastal installations on Longstone, Munkcestrian RepubIic and support the slave rebellion. In Dominion Square of Capitalist Bloc we are holding the very opposite event of the World Slavery Conference. In a few days we encourage all nations who stand against slavery to look for the sign up for this event in our nations capital Dominion Square of Capitalist Bloc, Texkentuck Monarchy Republic Federation of Union Conservative Capitalis Republic. The event has started with a national dinner at U.C.C.R Headquarters for the government of Texkentuck and later those who stand against the slave trade and it's practices are invited to visit our great nation and take a stand and celebrate this treaty. The President will publically sign the treaty at the state dinner.

Letter from the Presidential Private Office of the Republic of Greater Marine
Inlight of recent events, it has come to me to realise that slavery is far from dead in the NS multiverse. By not doing anything about it, we contradict our own democratic values, and comdemn millions of humans to an existance worse than death, stripped of their dignity, virtue and humanity. Therefore, in recognition of this shared humanity, and the rights that stem therefrom, I, President John J. Jameson of the Marinian Republic pledge to uphold the Amistad Declaration, to protect the rights of all humans within and outside our borders, and to confront the horrendous crime that is slavery. It is our moral duty to stand up for the weak and oppressed, and therefore, Greater Marine shall rise up to the challenge of building a better world for all humans.

In Texkentuck Cannabis isn't criminalized but not an issue because it's not legalized. Our nation is sending a bunch of dope to your government and citizens. Hoping to dope the population and then we can release the slaves as everyones on cloud 9.- Pres. Schirkophf
