[PASSED] Statement on Conflict in Varathron

[The Blaatschapen]

We had a discussion, threw around some chairs, butted some heads and ate some danishes, and came to the conclusion that demand will be allowed under the understanding that it is a strongly worded request.

Will the chairs be recompensated for their injuries?

They get 10% of our wages for the next year.

Glad to hear the rights of stools and sitting-ware are being upheld and respected!

The Ice World Assembly offices have relocated to Oakmouth, which is safeguarded by foreign forces with our approval.

The Ice World Assembly mission shall continue to be led by Alexander Nicholas Saverchenko-Colleti, who shall continue to hold the World Assembly Ambassador position. No other posts within the World Assembly Mission of the Ice States shall be changed as a result of this change of the centre of operations.

"Not a WA issue. If your delegation believes that any of the nations involved who are WA members have undertaken actions in violation of enforceable WA law, we recommend that you contact the Compliance Commission for investigation. For non-members there is no reason the WA should care what sort of hijinks they get up to in their free time."

"We believe that it is certainly a matter of World Assembly relevance when it has the potential to endanger World Assembly members unlucky enough to be in the sphere of influence of the warring powers. There are already World Assembly members such as Kylarnatia involved in the war; and others such as the Drakonian Imperium well within the sphere of influence of the war."

"We additionally note that your argument effectively opposes all commendations and condemnations of World Assembly non-members, as this is the World Assembly concerning itself with the actions of non-members. The World Assembly has commended or condemned lots of non-members, such as Neasmyrna, Numero Capitan, Kazaman, Shizensky Prime, Nakarisaune, Baggieland and Mokastana."

"Your draft fails to elaborate as to why or how this conflict has such potential to endanger WA members to the extent that it is an issue which the whole of the WA should take a position on. To our knowledge a WA member going to war is not forbidden under extant WA law; are there other potential violations occurring? Ought the WA take an official position on any conflict in which at least one of its members finds itself?

"Ordinarily, the World Assembly need not take a position on any conflict its members take part in. However, it certainly should take a position on a conflict which is endangering not just current participants in the war, but all sorts of nations in the areas. This is not just any war; as stated in the preamble, this is 'a brewing apocalypse given the sheer quantity of corrupt superpowers simultaneously warring each other'."

"A great number of those warring superpowers are not WA members. Why should the WA care what they do? Why should they care what the WA says?

"For those that are WA members we still ask why the WA ought to care. Has the Compliance Commission alleged violations of WA law on the part of members? On what grounds might they claim to make those allegations? If they have is this resolution the best way to address that rather than targeted action directed at the non-compliant member?

"This resolution continues to be a waste of the WA's time, it is disappointing that it appears that it will reach the voting floor. In that sense it is certainly no worse than every single other non-repeal that reaches the floor, but like all those resolutions its presence is offensive in that it delays the time before another repeal can be voted on. We intend to vote against and encourage all ambassadors of sound mind to do the same."

[Unibot III]

A group of crows is called a murder of crows…

Owls? A parliament …

But what is it called when a group of lawyers gather around?

Ard Van Haldron pulled out a small, folded memo from his pocket and read his statement slowly with an eloquence of company lawyers as his backdrop, watching his every word with intense, menacing glares. Now was no time for improvisation.

“I, Ard Van Haldron, head WA Representative for Unibot (the company also known as ‘H+L’), in its third restated certificate of incorporation, wish to acknowledge the World Assembly’s Statement on the Conflict in Varathron and thank all, err, relevant parties for their … forthrightness.”

The lawyers nodded in unison as though Van Haldron were reading a impassioned plea — in fact, it sounded rather more like a hostage statement to an sleepy, vacant morning sitting.

“I wish to add,” read Van Haldron, “that Unibot acknowledges the WA’s previous work to ban the use of biological weapons and we must, for the record, repeat that Unibot itself has never in the past used biological weapons on a non-unionized civilian population to our knowledge, outside of regulated testing. We believe in peace. We believe in, err, compassion and empathy. Unibot is saddened by the loss of life in Varathron and urge all parties to seek a peaceful resolution at the earliest opportunity. On the question of offering assistance to Fortress Automailia, Unibot strongly believes it has never offered assistance or aid in its regular sales of arms. Our industry practices are as consistent, as best we can, to extant WA regulation and we are confident in asserting our firm belief that on this subject, the World Assembly is unquestionably taking a bold stand that is worthy of international attention and consideration. It should be noted that in casting our vote for this resolution today, Unibot is expressing its opinion that the World Assembly should take the positions stated, but Unibot does not necessarily share all the viewpoints or characterizations of the Kraven Corporation as expressed in the aforementioned resolution. We look forward to the conclusion of this debate.”

Office of the President of Sophia & WA Affairs Ministry of the Empire of Great Britain
WORLD ASSEMBLY VOTING RECOMMENDATION

---

Security Council: Statement on Conflict in Varathron (Declaration), by Magecastle Embassy Building A5

Recommendation: FOR

Rationale: Wars, like all wars, bring with them thousands of deaths, which is a loss for all of us, for humanity.

The atrocities committed by Automailia, Langong and other nations should not go unnoticed. Reaching a diplomatic solution to conflicts should be what any nation aspires to, and in this case it is no different.

To protect peace and human rights they must recognise the problem between the nations involved and demand that they cease any hostile movement towards property or people's lives, urge that they resolve their differences as diplomatically as possible and involve if necessary other participating nations to facilitate these negotiations, where both territories and resources are to be returned. They're urging all nations to mitigate the war and to cease all military or humanitarian aid to countries that do not comply with the declarations written in this proposal.

In conclusion, they must reach peace as quickly as possible, engage directly to protect civilians and stop the war, it all starts with this vote. Our recommendation for this proposal is FOR.
