OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE KENMORIAN WORLD ASSEMBLY MISSION
This is a formal condemnation of the recent actions taken by the government of the Capitalistic Republic of Kyunda, henceforth Kyundao, by the Kenmorian Diplomatic Mission to the World Assembly, henceforth the Kenmoria WA Mission. It demonstrates an official promulgation of this nation’s intent and beliefs, as well as the personal views of the signatory, and has been publicly released in accordance with international law.
More precisely, the Kenmoria WA Mission wishes to make known to the international community, here consisting of both all member states and all interest non-member states, its strong disapproval and anger towards the illegal and amoral actions conducted by Kyundao. These actions include: the breaching of GA #499, Access to Abortion; the breaching of GA #286, Reproductive Freedoms; the breaching of GA #141, On Abortion; the breaching of GA #002, Rights and Duties of WA Member States; the breaching of numerous international agreements around the fair process of the justice system; the arrest and subsequent detainment of abortion patients and abortion-related healthcare providers; the apparent plan to execute those accused; and any possible other actions not currently discovered which may break other pieces of international legislation.
These actions are not only violations of international law and therefore a direct mark of disrespect not just to the World Assembly, but also to all member states, but also deeply immoral actions that convey a severe lack of regard for bodily sovereignty. Although Kyundao does have a limited freedom to act as it pleases, such flagrant disregards for international legislation and common morality go far beyond what may reasonably be permitted by the world at large. The Kenmoria WA Mission condemns these actions for being reckless, irresponsible and dangerous.
Furthermore, there are serious questions to be raised about the integrity of this trial, even notwithstanding the illegitimacy of its premise. The timing of this event makes the accused’s arrests seem politically-motivated and retributive, thus casting doubt about he independence of the judiciary upon this arrest. In addition, the sentences given are wildly disproportionate even allowing for the possibility of a fair trial and presuming that three pieces of World Assembly do not exist. This demonstrates that Kyundao seems to have little respect for the norms of international justice nor for fairness in the criminal system as a whole, in contraposition to its obligations as a a member of the international community. The Kenmoria WA Mission condemns this lack of concern.
Lastly, the idea of public execution is simply abhorrent and cruel, not to mention in violation of the GA legislation Preventing the Execution of Innocents. This is simply an additional mark of shame on what appears to be a growing body of reasons to not trust Kyundao with its obligations as a member of this international community. It is with this in mind that the Kenmoria WA Mission calls on all other relevant parties to also condemn this pariah state for its flagrant disregard for both the letter and spirit of the law. This injustice shall not be allowed to stand.

The permanent ambassador of the Kenmoria WA Mission to the General Assembly, Sir James Lewitt, on behalf of his colleagues and others.

This was the second condemnation he’d had to draft following the passage of 499, and he was not looking forward to the inevitable angrily-worded response. He had several other missives prepared, sorted by order of how harshly-worded they were, which he was planning to send out as Kyundao got closer to a potential execution. This wasn’t actually his job, but it fell under his domain as chief ambassador, about which he was most annoyed.

Letter to the Kenmorian government from the Capitalist Party of Kyundao:
As much as we understand your concerns, we are former members of the World Assembly and as non-members, legislation from the World Assembly does not affect us nor can it affect us. Furthermore, we are a nation of laws and the rule of law must be upheld; it must be applied in the most impartial manner. In this case, the abortionists committed murder as unborn children are still living persons and innocent ones at that. Conspiracy to commit murder as well as aiding and abetting murder are both serious offenses as you certainly know and the parents in question did exactly that because of the reasons mentioned above.
We're sorry, but unless you have a reasonable alternative, we will have a public execution carried out should a guilty verdict be reached.

Dear whomever this concerns within the Capitalist Republic of Kyundao,
I firstly would like to apologise for the incorrect labelling of your offences as including violations of World Assembly legislation. Since you are not a member, it cannot affect you. Be sure that a correction shall shortly be issued. However, this does not solve the crux of the issue, which is the immorality of execution as a penalty for abortion. If you are a nation of law, then you will surely be familar with the concept of the wrongness of penalties ex post facto. For elucidation purposes, a nation cannot criminally punish someone for an action committed while that action was legal. Unless your entire criminal arresting and sentencing procedure lasted for a matter of days, which would be wrong for different reasons, these ‘crimes’ must have been committed when Kyundao was a member if the World Assembly, when abortions were legal per GA #141 and GA #286. Therefore, these people cannot be punished for this.
Even leaving aside the question of legality, I find that the entire basis for these penalties is flawed. As I am sure you are aware, people have the fundamental right to enact control of their bodies, a concept often referred to as bodily sovereignty. It is from this principle that all other rights are derived. Thus, a penalty for an abortion is inherently baseless, since abortion is a procedure that exists in order to allow an individual to exercise control over their body. This is a noted exception to the crime of murder, which cannot apply to a foetus irregardless. Murder is defined as the illegal killing of a person. The idea of counting unborn humans as persons runs into problems since making foeti people would necessitate people’s ages being counted from conception, miscarriages being recorded in death certificates, and a whole host of other ludicrous situations.
Therefore, I do offer you an alternative. The alternative that I offer is to release the accused from custody and immediately cancel any executions. Reparations and statements of apology are encouraged, but I recognise that these might be challenging to enact in the political climate.
Signed,
Sir James Lewitt

Dear whomever this concerns within the Capitalist Republic of Kyundao,
I must vehemently disagree with your analysis of relevant law. As I am sure you are aware, General Assembly legislation supersedes national law, which was the case during the time in which these supposed infractions are alleged to have happened. Therefore, when these women procured abortions, it was legal by international law, which overruled any contradictory Kyundaon legislation. Thus, they had the expectation of legality and, more importantly, were committing entirely legal actions. Any penalty applied to them would be based on a law that was not in effect, insofar as any mandates violating GA #141, GA #286 or GA #499 could not be activated, and any such penalty would therefore be illegitimate.
Signed,
Sir James Lewitt

Dear whomever this concerns within the Capitalist Republic of Kyundao,
I refer you to GA #286, Reproductive Freedoms, which also legalises elective abortion in all member states. As far as I am aware, Kyundao was a member of the Assembly at this point. If not, then GA #141, On Abortion, also legalises most abortions, and Kyundao was definetly a member at that point. Therefore, my previous argument still applies.
Signed,
Sir James Lewitt

OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE KENMORIAN WORLD ASSEMBLY MISSION
The Kenmorian Diplomatic Mission to the World Assembly hereby condemns the Capitalist Republic of Kyundao, for the illegal execution of 106 foreign nationals. This penalty was illegal, since General Assembly Resolution #286, Reproductive Freedoms, was in effect in Kyundao when the abortions occurred, and were therefore legal by force of international law when they happened. As such, the execution can only be viewed as an act of aggression by the Capitalist Republic of Kyundao against these nations. For this hostile action, the Government of Kenmoria will refuse to produce any visas for Kyundaon citizens wishing to visit this country. The Kenmorian Diplomatic Mission to the World Assembly calls on all nations to enact similar sanctions.
Hereby signed by:
The permanent ambassador of the Kenmoria WA Mission to the General Assembly, Sir James Lewitt, on behalf of his colleagues and others.

Kyundao you were not providing proper responses to Kenmoria's concerns (such as a possible violation of GA Resolution #286 and the problems arising from counting unborn children as persons). The fact that you failed to address these concerns and killed 106 people so quickly seems to me that you had no interest in a well-functioning RP.
