Your Excellencies, on behalf of the people of Yingdala, His Majesty has asked me to express a heartfelt congratulations to the newest members of the Security Council, as well as gratitude to the current permanent members and formerly outgoing members of the SC for the time and service. Yingdala is especially thankful that the Security Council passed the most sweeping resolution in recent history,
SC Resolution 88: Guiding principles of the World Congress.
The Guiding Principles establish this organization as peace loving and global problem solving body, dedicated to the sovereignty of nations. I am sure you all can read the binding resolution, but perhaps it would be good to directly state them for the record:
RECALLING that the World Congress was established to serve as a body where nations could resolve their disputes peacefully;
KNOWING that the World Congress works best when it addresses global issues likes climate change, terrorism, and international crime, among others;
BELIEVING that every state in Terra is sovereign;
ESTABLISHES the following principles that guide the workings of the World Congress and its member states:
1. All states in Terra are sovereign and their territorial integrity must be maintained.
2. The World Congress shall not intervene in the affairs of other states on matters that do not concern international peace and security.
3. All states in Terra shall maintain a status of non-aggression toward one another and refrain from using the threat or use of force against another state in ways that are inconsistent with the purpose of the World Congress.
4. All states in Terra must refrain from interfering in one another's internal affairs.
5. The World Congress shall not intervene on areas considered to be part of the domestic jurisdiction of other states.
6. All states in Terra are equal and should endeavor to develop mutually beneficial relations with other states and discard the notion of a zero-sum game.
7. All states in Terra, regardless of regime type or government system, must seek to coexist peacefully.
Given the current situation in Terra, there may very well be violations of articles 1, 3, 4, and 7 by members of this body.
