Greetings to all esteemed individuals,
Given the intense opposition to my appointment and to the general activities of the World Congress emanating from the Yeudish Republic of Beiteynu, it is impossible for me to carry out completely the provisions outlined in the Security Council Resolution 7. Nonetheless, I have prepared a preliminary report for the consideration of this body using a combination of the elementary information available through the legal processes of Beiteynu's government and first-hand accounts from both those who previously lived in Beiteynu and have now fled as well as some who still remain. All names of such individuals have been removed in my report, for their own safety.
Firstly, the
Final Solution Act (4118) represents one of the clearest and most significant breaches of human rights I have ever heard of. As well as instituting segregation, through the creation of 'camps', it removes any responsibility whatsoever from those who operate such camps. In doing so, it permits the Yeudish Republic's military to engage in ethnic cleansing with no consequence at all. Though some 'Class B citizens' were able to flee to relatives abroad, in comparison to the number who could not do so, this figure is small. I am led to conclude that the inclusion of Article 3 in this bill was simply a distraction from the later stipulations.
Conditions in these camps, though relatively little information is available about them, is said to be below standards in which animals are kept before scientific testing. Calorific intake is monitored stringently in order to keep the inmates in sufficiently poor health that they are indefinitely hungry but remain able to perform physical labour although mistakes in such calculations were not uncommon, meaning death by starvation was a regular occurrence, according to Witness 1 (who spent eighteen months in a camp before relatives were found in Vanuku). Through the provisions in Article 5, even the most harmless levels of social interaction such as hugging a friend is severely punished and inmates morale levels are perpetually low.
It should be made clear now that the Final Solution is in no way an isolated piece of legislation. Instead, it represents the latest in a series of bills aimed primarily at disenfranchising, segregating and persecuting minorities, particularly ethnic minorities. More benign acts include the
Government Religious Policy act, which established Yeudism as a state religion and, quote, 'a policy to encourage conversion to the Yeudish faith by non-Yeudis'. It should be noted that this bill was passed by a previous regime, though,
the Yeudish Unity party.
Since
the Conservative Yeudish Party ascended to power, there has been a series of far more troubling bills passed. Although I understand I was not directed to review any other legislation in my report, it is pertinent to understanding the Final Solution Act.
The National Minority Card was the first bill aimed at targeting minorities, over one hundred years ago. This patern of discrimination has been present throughout the lifetime of any person currently alive today. An explicit policy of segregation, and an official distinction between the Yeudis and non-Yeudis, was estalblished in that same term of the Knesset- by the
Segregation Rights Act and the
Non-Yeudish Segregation Act.
Therefore, I believe there can be no doubting whatsoever that humanitarian work is overdue and, while I am not in a position to propose other action, more should be done. The most striking finding in my report is that it took so long for the international community to do anything at all. The Yeudish Republic of Beiteynu has been committing crimes against makind and it appears nobody batted an eye.
