Baron Jebr Skronores, Vanukean Ambassador to World Congress:
Mr General Secretary, Members of the General Assembly,
I wish to inform you that the Kingdom of Vanuku has launched a series of military operations in southern Jelbania against Grand Principality of Deltaria and Katonid Khanate forces currently occupying that territory.
Despite many warnings from our government, Deltaria has continued to build up its military in this territory and has constructed permanent fortifications and infrastructure over the last few months. It is our strong conviction that Deltaria is paving the way to annex southern Jelbania and integrate the occupied territory into its own nation. This is clearly unacceptable.
Unfortunately, despite our continued warnings the World Congress was unable to take the necessary action to reprimand Deltaria or to force it to withdraw through sanctions or threat of force. In fact, the only resolutions put on the table would have created an international defensive buffer around the occupied territory, thus safeguarding their position considerably while allowing them time to continue the internal assimilation process unchecked.
Additionally, Deltaria was forced out of the Majatran Alliance because of its continued military encroachment into Jelbania but, unfortunately, no further action was taken by this body either. This has allowed Deltaria to grow in confidence and believe nothing would be done to oust them from their position.
With no other options, Vanuku has been forced to launch a major land, air and naval campaign. The objective of this military operation is to succeed in forcing Deltaria to withdraw its forces completely from Jelbanian territory and return the country to the native people of the Jelbek Steppe. Only then can we hope to have peace in Jelbania.
We, therefore, ask that nations wake up from their apathy and assist us by putting diplomatic pressure on Deltaria - demonstrating that they are fast becoming a global pariah, that sanctions will be considered and if they do not withdraw by their own volition, many of their troops will needlessly die.
