Consultation Forum on Funding of Terrorism

[Wu Han]

Her Royal Highness, Ratanaporn, Princess of Hanzen, Sister of His Royal Majesty the King, Hanzenese Permanent Representative to the World Congress:

The Hanzenese delegation is prepared to support the amendments put following the input of the Yingdalan Ambassador. Clearly, this exchange shows the value of transparency and collaboration in international affairs, aside from the unilateralist propaganda coming from our esteemed "Great Powers."

However, the Hanzenese delegation remains opposed to the hyperbolic and effuse reaffirmation in the preamble of the resolution. As I've stated elsewhere, terrorism is nothing more than a symptom of the underlying "greatest threats to international peace and security." Accordingly, we do not feel that the language used by the Kazulian delegation is proportionate to the issue at hand.

We will not support the resolution without any changes to the overly-dramatic and politicized reaffirmation as it is currently written. We argue, at a minimum, that the phrase "one of the greatest threats to..." should be removed, and replaced with "a threat to..."

Alternatively, and dependent on the input of other honoured representatives, we suggest striking the reaffirmation altogether.

Mr. Zakarias Westermarck, Kazulian Ambassador to the World Congress

We note the amendments coming from the representative from Hanzen

Badaran Representative to the World Congress Magdalena al Sadr:

Did we correctly read the original resolution to require both the Security Council and General Assembly to approve actual freezing of funds?

[Maxington]

Mr. Zakarias Westermarck, Kazulian Ambassador to the World Congress

We apologise to the Badaran Representative for the late response. We intend on making an amendment to the mandate to remove the provision of the General Assembly recognising that most decisions, especially matters of urgent public/international importance made there, are not binding.

[Drax]

Badaran Representative to World Congress Magdalena al Sadr:

We appreciate very much the Ambassador from Kazulia responding to our inquiry. We are sorry this provision which would have tended to cause some restraint is not to be included after all.

[Maxington]

Mr. Zakarias Westermarck, Kazulian Ambassador to the World Congress

We'd like to thank the members who contributed towards these consultations in making the resolution stronger. In recognising that there are no more amendments being proposed by members. I beg to move that this resolution be carried to the Security Council to be voted on.

[LC73]

Lewis Humber, Likatonian WC Representative

We agree with the Kazulian delegation and hopes the the SC votes on this proposal soon.
