Esteemed Representatives and Ambassadors,
For the past decades, the United Kingdom has chosen not to stick its finger in world affairs and insert itself in the political turmoil that is generated in this chamber. However, we believe that this issue is leading to a boiling point that may result in conflict, a conflict that can be avoided. The United Kingdom and the Empire holds good relations with Deltaria and Vascania, therefore we believe that our statement comes from an unbiased and unaligned position.
I'd like to begin by stating that events in Rapa Pile to us raises questions. Was there a legitimate or illegitimate election in Rapa Pile? and how involved was the Vascanian government? The Empire of Canrille is an example of how empire and unification can be done in a democratic way and avoid the dangers and exploitations of imperialism. The United Kingdom peacefully, democratically, and diplomatically expanded the Empire of Canrille to include Kanjor and Alduria. Could the same be said about Rapa Pile? Should the process of including Rapa Pile into the Vascanian Empire be illegitimate, the World Congress should condemn Vascania, similarly to the condemnation of Dolgava and Hulstria and Gao-Soto. If this is not done, like the Deltarian President has explained, any trust, fath, and legitimacy in this institution will forever be gone.
Yet, as we sit here and discover the truth of the election in Rapa Pile, we would also like to point out that instant intervention and police-like behavior by Deltaria can no longer be tolerated and must be substituted by a
diplomatic process that can be respected and followed by all. Dovani must no longer be a playground where the nation's powers compete for influence, power, and resources. It is sad to see developed nation like Deltaria act this way, but also troubling that the Vascanian Empire is undermining sovereignty and possibly forcing imperialism.
As we have said, we wish for diplomatic processes to take place between Rapa Pile, Deltaria, and Vascania before resorting to conflict and its consequences.
