Louis Stevens, Ambassador to the World Congress Security Council from the United Republic of Kalistan:
With respect to the Hutorian Representative, we hold that offering a nation an incentive to change their policy is preferable to sanctioning them if they do not. The coercion that our friends are for is a violation of sovereignty. And so I say, first, Kalistan opposes slavery, and seeks a world free of the practice. But, either we acknowledge sovereignty, or we do not. There is no such thing as "half sovereign." Either a state controls its own domestic policy or it does not. Forcing them to do so will violate their sovereignty, and as a county who has their sovereignty routinely violated by nations of the world, we can also see the side of a country that doesn't want foreign powers messing with its domestic laws.
We are not suggesting to make peace with "some" slavery, because we acknowledge that the half way point between slavery and no slavery is still slavery. What Kalistan is calling for is for the nations of the world to think of a way to get those countries to abandon slavery on their own, without us forcing them to do so. We need to have more imagination than to simply slap down sanctions and threaten war. There has to be a different way.
If you ask Kalistan what that way would be, I can tell you, we do not know. But we're hoping that we could figure some other way than to simply violate sovereignty of yet another nation. Either we take sovereignty, and other international norms seriously, or we do not.
