Eleanora Montreal, Kalistani Ambassador to the Security Council rises to speak:
What is absolutely clear to me, and what myself and others have warned of before, is that the World Congress weakens its position when nations rush to react. Kalistan and Aldegar have had a period of strained relations but in our view, there can be no excuse for the current action being taken against the Shahdom. To my knowledge, the trigger for this was a request for recognition of the Shah as the Head of State of Baltusia. The response has been the threat of war, mass expulsion of citizens for no reason other than race and, although this is to be taken with a grain of salt, reported terrorist attacks.
I have, as you all know, raised the issue with the Security Council. Outside of that, the Kalistani government will not hesitate to come to the defence of Aldegar and its sovereignty if that is required. Furthermore, we ask the Baltusian government to immediately cancel plans for deportation and detention of Aldegarians. In the past century, a Baltusian criminal by the name of Karl Benn entered Kalistan and sought to disrupt relations between our nations. Would Baltusia consider it fair if we had punished all 99 million Baltusians for his actions? I think not. Perhaps my insistence that Baltusia be held to account for their support of Beiteynu can be reconsidered now that they behave in an extremely similar way to the Yeudish Republic!
In wanting to appear fair, I intended to present demands to the Aldegarian delegation but I actually do not see what action Aldegar has taken which it should not be permitted to. The ban on travel between Aldegar and Baltusia is regrettable but it is nothing within the larger context of this issue. I am happy to take that issue up with the government if I am presented with evidence that the other side is making significant improvements.
