Baron Jebr Skronores, Vanukean Ambassador to World Congress:
Our pledge is to help the Northern Khaganate defend its territory in the wake of aggressions carried out by the Katonid Khanate - actions which have been emboldened by the legitimacy provided to it by Deltaria. To withdraw this support, and leave them to their own devices, could be the spark the Katonid forces need to launch an all-out attack on NK territory and we could end up with a humanitarian disaster on our hands. Therefore, it would be dangerous and irresponsible for Vanuku to comply with this Resolution given the circumstances.
Therefore we vote NO and as a Permanent Security Council Member VETO the passage of this resolution.
Please note, as with resolution 61, we believe the way forward is to resolve to deploy a World Congress Protection and Assistance Force on the ground quickly, so that we can phase out the need for our support and protection. One this happens both resolution 61 and 62 would be looked upon much more favourably by the Kingdom of Vanuku.
