Resolution 22 has passed the Security Council.
The Security Council,
RECALLING its previous Resolutions, in particular Resolution 3 and Resolution 8,
RE-AFFIRMING that the Security Council of the World Congress recognises that slavery and the slave trade are inherently evil crimes which are to be utterly condemned,
RECOGNISING that the Security Council of the World Congress officially condemns all form of slavery and the slave trade as crimes against humanity,
Does hereby condemn the Grand Duchy of Vorona.
Does hereby demand that the Government of the Grand Duchy of Vorona immediately release all people within their jurisdiction from illegal bondage, demands that enslaved persons or their heirs be compensated and demands that the government of said nation immediately implement statutory overhauls to eradicate the culture of slavery and all its attendant crimes and customs from their society.
In pursuance of this Resolution, the Security Council does name Giorgia Pellegrini, Istalian Ambassador to the World Congress, as the Security Council Rapporteur to the Grand Duchy of Vorona. The Rapporteur will oversee the implementation of the Resolution and report back to the Security Council on a regular basis.
If, within 2 years, the Grand Duchy of Vorona has moved to enact this Resolution in full, the Rapporteur may propose a complete lifting of all sanctions and a repeal of the condemnation applied. If the Government of the Grand Duchy of Vorona fails to act, the Security Council shall review further options.
I am pleased to see that 4 nations have ratified the Embargo, and there are a further 7 nations moving to ratify the Embargo. It is imperative we move against slavery in Vorona, and apply pressure to the Government there. We can confirm that Louise Dougall, the Luthori Ambassador to the Security Council, has been in contact with the Merela democratic Party .
The Security Council would welcome the recommendation of any issues or concerns that delegates wish to see us discuss. I am currently looking at raising concerns on the situation between the Free State of Malivia and the Bundesrepublik Narikaton und Darnussia.
