"The Government of Kalistan has instructed me to say that this Forum should be one to locate peaceful solutions to the world's problems. One such solution aimed at achieving peace was to close the Ananto Strait to warships from various nations. Kalistan still patrols the Strait and still turns back warships from nations who are not allied with Kalistan, in a singular, solitary effort to increase peace and reduce the ability of others to make war upon one another, and our efforts are spat upon, by the way by members of this Forum, who are bound and determined to either wage war upon each other, or assert some sort of imagined hegemonic dominance over others. We maintain that closure to military transit unilaterally, and as we have said, nothing short of war and decimation of the Kalistani people will cause us to ever open it again.
We have also taken bold steps to eject Vanuku from a base they relied upon for forward projection. The Northern Council alliance, who asserts that it should be able to dictate terms to nations on its geographical perimeters, viewed this basing as a threat to its efforts at domination in the region, and rightly so. While discussing peaceful commercial transit of the Strait, one leading member insisted that Kalistan work with it on a treaty banning nuclear powered craft from the Anantonese Ocean. On the one hand, it asserted that Kalistan did not have the right to declare a tiny part of the Ocean closed to THEIR ships, although that part of the Ocean lies entirely within the sovereign boundaries of Kalistan, and then on the other hand, it seeks our help in closing the entire ocean to all vessels from countries it views as a threat, so that only its vessels may pass in the Seas. We offered to help because we would like to keep War as far from our own shores as possible, but no proposals were forthcoming, until the stupid, murderous detonation of Vanukese nuclear weaponry over Jelbania forced us to eject the Vanukese military and diplomatic personnel from our country. And then nothing more needed to be said about the nuclear powered vessels, as the ones the treaty was meant to remove were gone.
And we have done this. A few others are offering sanctions of closing their ports to Vanukean shipping and we support them in their efforts, but mostly we see condemnations and calls for sanctions, and yet no action. And silence from the vast majority of the countries who hold seats in this Assembly.
Kalistan is cutting its own throat by imposing sanctions. We are weakening our own defenses vis a vis the Northern Council, itself an expansionistic, militaristic cult, by ejecting the Vanukean Navy from our Port. We weaken our economy by not trading with a major investor in our Nationalized Industries. We do ourselves no favors this way.
We call upon the World Congress, and specifically the Security Council to advance a package of sanctions aimed at restoring norms against Nuclear Weaponry.
And we call upon ALL nations who claim to be morally outraged at the use of nuclear weaponry in warfare to immediately join Baltusia and Kalistan and sign
the Anti-Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Treaty which not only takes a stand against nuclear weaponry, but also outlaws its possession or research into these horrific weapons of war.
Otherwise, you, members of this World Congress, are merely practitioners of RealPolitik, and are no true friends of peace, and Kalistan will re-evaluate its position vis a vis Vanuku. After all, just like in the Straits Crisis, why should Kalistan be the one to shoulder the whole Burden of Peace, especially in the face of such blatant and self serving militarism we see from groups like the Northern Alliance? If you are truly committed to peace, bear some of the weight yourself, or you inform the world that the burden is not worth carrying. And if that's the case, then there really is no reason for Kalistan to remain a part of this Body.
