Quote:Gentlemen and ladies. As of now Istalia has begun an attack against Pontesi and the Kafuri people. We would like to bring the General Assembly here to discuss a resolution to condemn the war and possibly provide humanitarian assistance to the affected peoples. We would also like to see to it a formal investigation on how the events beforehand contributed to the war, and if necessary bring persons to trial in the International Criminal Court.

Quote:The Dual Republic would like to instead propose that the World Congress condems the tyrannical communist regime in Istalia. They've committed crimes against humanity and broken universal human rights, such as the right to property. And this war of unprovoked aggression clearly shows what spirit the istalian menace represents.

Quote:To the esteemed representative from the Kundrati Union, allow us to remind participants of the Bettencourt Escalation Protocol, in which it is stated that prior to escalating an affair to the World Congress, entities might advise with regional organisations.

In this case we recognise the Empire of Canrille, the Jelbic Empire, the 3rd Point Federation and, of course, the MSCO. We suggest participants, including the representative from the Kundrati Union, to consult with these entities, before seeking the attention of the WC and/or the SC.

Quote:The Bettencourt Protocol does not work if the Third Point Federation, per your recognition, is already at risk of being on one side of this war. There is a similar risk there for the Jelbic Empire and the MSCO. If Canrille wishes to help mediate this conflict we would obviously have no objection as they are the only ones, per your recognition, that wouldn't have a bias one way or another.

As for the proposal from the representative of Darnussia, we can agree to investigating what led up to this shameful act of war. Why did Istalia attack Pontesi and Kafuristan? Could there be a case made for self defense? Do you know something the rest of us do not? Are we going to not send assistance to Istalian or Pontesi civilians who are uninvolved in this war because of the blame?

Quote:Not at all, Mr. Kaliay, the policy has nothing to do with involved parties, but regional leaders.

Have you consulted with any of these entities before initiating this session with the World Congress?

Quote:Without success, sir (or ma'am). We've been trying to get ahold of the Lourennaise lately without success. You should keep in mind this situation has just exploded, and I certainly doubt right now that the 3PF or the Jelbics will want to seek mediation.

Quote:Be that as it may Mr. Kaliay, the situation is way too recent to justify assuming that the United Kingdom or the Empire of Canrille will not respond to your calls. Same goes for the Jelbic Empire, the 3rd Point Federation and the MSCO.

OOC: Hyr, all I'm saying is if you're trying to rush an escalation to the WC out of the blue when there's an OOC plan with all of these regional players in place, you run the risk of focusing players on the WC, which will stifle RP - or it will as usual lead to assuming the WC did nothing.

Quote:I understand.

OOC: I see. Do you think that in future there should be a larger "General Assembly" channel for in-general discussion?

Quote:OOC: Yes, we just never got around to it after all that's happened (Zanz, Louis, game down, forum move, legacy, mods, pronat). If you take a look at the SC you'll notice it didn't even get all the delegates to respond. This organisation is either dead or useless if we don't approach it properly as a result of organic RP. Which may after all be a decision by the community to kill it entirely or just make it a forum place, after all.

Quote:I swear to the gods, this brain dead assembly is only called when shit is going down in middle fucking nowhere but hey we are the World Congress we have to answer to their every problem that the world faces even if it's two children fighting over invisible borders.
