Greetings, Comrades, and indeed, you are all Comrades, and absolute equals.
We have strangely returned to this august body through no effort on the part of Kalistan. As a matter of fact, our invitation to be seated among you is still inexplicable to us. However, we have been instructed to appear before this body to accept the appointment, and take our seat.
As a voting member of the 35th Session of the World Congress Security Council, it is our joyous task to announce Kalistan's foreign policy goals. It is toward these goals that Kalistan's representation seeks to work, and we are of the opinion that such goals will lead to peace and stability in Terra.
1) Kalistan seeks to expand the trading opportunities provided by nations of the Anantonese Ocean Rim to all corners of the planet. These nations are thoroughly modernized in their production models, and together, we export a significant portion of the world's raw materials, including steel, oil, technology, and services. Combined, the nations of the Anantonese Ocean represent an excellent opportunity to provide a trading pole which is quite apart from the older, more established corners of the world, and have generally adopted free or fair trade standards toward the rest of globe. It is in Kalistan's national interest that Anantonese Trade volume increase.
2) Kalistan seeks to promote an anti-nuclear armament accord within the World Congress that bans ALL weaponry, from the face of the globe, which possesses either a nuclear payload or a nuclear powerplant. Nuclear Technology is a menace to mankind, and those who possess it and use it with impunity imperil all those they come into contact with. Too long has the world been threatened by nuclear weapons, wither they be intercontinental ballistic missiles, or nuclear powered submarines who may park off some nation's coast and threaten them with annihilation. It is in the interest of all peace loving people that these horrible weapons of global atomic terrorism be outlawed and scrapped.
3) Kalistan stands with the nations of the world in the promotion of Republicanism and the condemnation of slavery. We have become aware that there is a nation on our very borders that subjects people to such human chattel subjugation. Kalistan stands opposed to this policy, and calls for the liberation of all people from the dreadful tyranny of both an economic system governed completely by violence and domination, as well as that of unelected and unaccountable tyrants, who stand above the law, and are not subjects to that law. We see the two things as one in the same! We support the establishment of Republican states, where the government rules in the interest of those governed, as well as rule of law and institutions where they exist.
4) Kalistan seeks the advancement of working people, even if it is at the expense of those who they work for, and call for the organization of an international syndicalist movement which fights to ensure that working people may live with dignity, and may realize their true potential as a class vis a vis their bosses. The ultimate goal is not only self determination in the Republic, but also worker control over the conditions of their work, and participation in the decision making of their workplaces.
5) Kalistan wishes to once more publicly endorse the
ASCA agreement, and encourage all nations to sign onto the Treaty who have any interest in the region. This treaty represents the greatest opportunity for peace and prosperity in the Northern Anantonese Ocean, and therefore serves as a major security enhancement for not only Kalistan, but also for Lourenne, nations in Keris and other nations who pass through the Straits. We hope other nations will sign onto the Treaty.
6) Kalistan would like one more time to highlight the benefits of joining the
ODEN III charter. This treaty represents the best vehicle for controlling black market sales of drugs within the nations of the Members. ODEN in any one country is forbidden from selling drugs to nationals of ANY OTHER ODEN signatory nation. This is found in our non-competition clauses. The best way to keep drugs originating from ODEN nations from coming into your country via the black market is to sign onto the Treaty. But ODEN is more than just a drug market for the world. ODEN also closely monitors and certifies purity and quality of drugs of ALL kinds, such as beneficial and therapeutic pharmaceuticals, as well as all paraphernalia associated with the use of drugs. If you have heroin addicts in your nations, who use ODEN certified hypodermic needles, you have already experienced a decline in communicable diseases associated with that dreadful scourge, such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis and other types of diseases spread among drug addicts. ODEN guarantees the highest quality of all products that bear its stamp. There are currently 16 nations in compliance with the terms of the ODEN Charter right now, and less than 20% of those nations are members. Kalistan encourages all nations to consider their unjust prohibition of drugs, and alter their national drug policy in conformity to ODEN's terms, so they may join the treaty.
We yield.
