Mr. Chairman and Fellow Delegates,

I agree, Minister Utivich.

-) How do you propose such a measure would be achieved?
-) Solution 2 is nice, but I would prefer Solution 1
-) Member nations could probably protect the railroad internally, but for non-member states we could use a private security force. I propose that we accept contracts from a variety of defense contractors from the continent. Maybe not just Haven Worldwide, Pontesi has Heimdall Global Security and I'm sure that party militias could be raised to contract themselves to a defence contractor which would essentially form a depoliticised security force.

Welcome, Brother Conor.

Sincerely,

His Most Holy Royal Highness, The Honourable Dr. Yahya Yišsérles II,
Governor General and Executor of Head of State of the Commonwealth of Yishelem and Beiteynu
House of Hava Elisheva Freyda Yišsérles

Mr.Chairman,

I would like to thank our gracious hosts for having us first and foremost.

Secondly, I have heard many excellent ideas from my colleagues, and there are just a few that I would like to weigh in on.

-- The Election of Host Nations--- We concur with the original idea of the representative from the United Badaran Emirates. A rotation based on order of Ratification seems to be the "most fair" method.

--Election of Observer States-- I believe Luthori would be an excellent selction for observer status, other candidates we would support would be Rutania or Hulstaria.

--Future of the OMS-- While I believe an inter-continental legislature would be quite nice, we should focus more on internal matters and solidify ourselves before branching out so much. A treaty establishing a continental wide Free Trade Zone and promoting further continental economic interconnection should be our most important goals for now.

--Concerning the International Rail Systems and its protection-- We are strongly against hiring out to private contractors or the creation of an OMS "army" so to speak. The OMS should be a peaceful organization and encourage diplomacy and cooperation as the only means of resolution on Majatra. Though if the need for humanitarian missions were to arise, we would like to see the OMS act as a coordinator of sorts between the many nations and parties interested in helping, whether that be monetarily or through the use of peacekeeping forces(Though no troops should fall under direct OMS control). Concerning the Rail System, While Zardugal does not necessarily need a railway system, especially one that would be overseen by governmental or inter-governmental organizations, we would not interfere in the establishment of one.


Thank You Fellow Delegates

Mr. Chairman and Fellow Delegates,

I second the motion by the Governor-General in welcoming the OMS's newest member, the Selucian Archdiocese of the Jesuit Order. Vanuku and Deltaria are not far behind.

Just some thoughts on Minister Irvin's well-put points:

Future of the OMS: Yes, a Continental Free Trade Zone seems like something that would be very simple to implant and that would have many positive effects on the economies of all member nations.

Rail Systems: Personally, I also do not support an OMS Army or PMC protection of any trans-Majatran railroad that may come to pass. I strongly concur with Minister Irvin that
bfmvivi wrote: [t]he OMS should be a peaceful organization and encourage diplomacy and cooperation as the only means of resolution on Majatra.

I think that if the TransMajatra Railroad comes to pass, the OMS should not be its overseer or owner, but an organization that will work to bring the railroad to pass and that will help result conflicts with regard to the railroad if they arise.

Sincerely,

Omar B. Utivich,
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Commonwealth of Yishelem and Beiteynu
and Member of the Beiteynuese Delegation to the 1st Annual Meeting of the OMS

Mr. Chairman, Fellow Delegates,

I would first off like to thank the warm welcome by the Governor-General, Mr. Utivich, and to everyone else for having me here.

Our view on the TMR
- We do agree with the Governor-General that member nations could protect the TMR internally.
- However, for non-member states, hiring a PMC would not be the best option. Possibly instead the OMS could pay non-member nations "rent" for the TMR taking up space in their nation. This rent would cover the cost of protection, maintenance, etc. So instead of just hiring a PMC to just protect the TMR, we could pay non-member nations to keep them safe completely.
- I see this a better fit then creating a Continental Military, because I'm unsure that non-member states want a military of their surrounding neighbors in their nation.
- Therefore, Solution 1 seems to be the most convenient option.

Our view on a Legislative Body
- We would support one as soon as possible, to get a vote down on the TMR and other subjects of interest
- We'd prefer it be based upon population
- And if it could be run (kind of like the EU) with a certain amount of seats per nation, and each party in that nation wins a certain amount of seats.

Brother Conor de Victoria,

Mr. Chairman,

First of all, i must correct the statement made by the Honorable representative of the Federation of Zardugal that it was the idea of my country to base rotation of the hosting of the meeting og the OMS. It was in fact the Honorable representative of the Commonwealth of Yishelem and Beiteynu that came up with the idea.

On the Election of Observer States: My government agrees with the proposal of inviting either Rutania or Hulstaria, as an addition to Lodamun and Luthori.

On the Future of the OMS: The proposal of the Honorable representative of the Selucian Archdiocese of the Jesuit Order to establish a inter-continental legislature based on population and party-based (like the EU parliament) is quitte interesting, but would it be achievable at this point of time? The idea of a continental Free Trade Zone (FTZ) would have the support of my country. In our view the OMS should be a peacefull organization that commits itself to diplomacy and maybe help with peacekeeping missions (like the UN blue helmets), participation to this should of course be voluntary.

On the TMR: The idea of having an OMS Army or PMC protecting any trans-Majatran railroad that may come to pass isnt supported by my government. Local law enforcement agencies should provide protection, if needed.

Maybe it would be a better idea, if nations themselves decided how they would like to protect the TransMajatran Railway passing through their country, to be protected by their national/local security forces,or they would like Private Contractors to protect them,since most of you disagree with a United Majatran Force.This applies to both Member and Non-Member States.

Who are we to impose laws upon other nations,if we cant even co-operate in forming a Majatran Arm/Security Forces, and of courses Nations will have their own National Forcess.

Diplomacy,has and will always fail. Security Forces,National or Private,must protect the TransMajatran Railway,if it was destroyed before,it will be destroyed againg!

If we reside on Diplomacy,maybe we should all just join NATO,and leave this OMS behind.

Either we reside on diplomacy and become another NATO-like organization,Or we become another loose alliance/confederacy like the Axis,Or maybe we become OMS,a unique organization,which will keep a healthy separation of National and Continental decisions.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If we put the TMS to vote i recommend this two choices

1) Nations are left with the decision of how they would like to protect the TransMajatran Railway passing through their nation,either by hiring Private Contractors,or National Securit Forces,or a mix of both.

2) Their is a Continental Security Force which protects all TMS railways from all nations,except non-member nations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Againg i recommend option two.A Continental Force will act more effectively on stoping terrorist,etc,Because clearly,communication through the Continent Security Management would be much easier.

I agree with everything.Except,if a Continental Force would protect the TransMajatran Railway,it would not be an "Army" Or the "Military" who would protect it. But a much more lightly armed Organized Security Force.

Vanuku will be represented by:

Chancellor (Eerste Kanselier) Arjen de Witt.
_________________________________________________________________
Mr Chairman, fellow delegates!

It is my pleasure to participate in assembly where regional leaders meet to solve regional problems. I applaud our hosts for well organized conference.
Smoothly moving on the subject of discussion points.
About observer nations - the question is extremely important and we have not heard as to what privileges and what responsibilities would observer nation have. Therefore we can not support any of the candidates at the moment because we do not want to sign a deal we do not know the terms of. In general though we (as government of Vanuku) would be happy to see Luthori and Lodamun as observers. In case we decide on the third nation I would suggest a neutral one. Since we already have nations - heads of military alliances, we need a nation that is no part of any military alliance. It is hard to find such a nation indeed, however may I propose Egelion then. They hold democratic values dear and their neutrality is undisputed.
About Trans Majatran Railroad - I applaud the initiative! Such venues cut costs down, increase trade and transport between nations and solve a million of logistic problems. My position is that our (as OMS) task here would be to define technical standards for the whole railroad, so that each nation operates same size rails for standardized trains. To define routes for the whole railroad to choose best possible logistic solution and to sign a treaty where each nation takes responsibility on building the railway on its territory. For protection of railway we suggest same standards mentioned on railway treaty and then nations would find their own way to meet them. No need for us to take the role of Gods and tell whether protection should be private or state-owned. We would also be very happy if additional ecology for railway treaty is signed by the nations willing to. That treaty would define ecological standards for the railway. Of course if we could define those standards for the whole railway and add them to general railway treaty we (as Green Socialists Party) would be even more happy.
About the OMS - Our intra-continental affairs will become closer and more intense in next decades. Therefore there is no need to rush today. The proposed Free Trade Zones treaty is great. We would be in favor on such an agreement. Also we would like to push and lobby for treaty including free movement of capital, labor, goods and services. But any small step is good and steps must be taken carefully.
Thanks for listening gentlemen and I wish everyone to have a great time in the conference!

Arjen de Witt,
Chancellor (Eerste Kanselier) of Vanuku.
