50th General Assembly Session

Tarabai Ghadhaabi, Vascanian representative to the World Congress

I ask our Liori friends to consider a scenario in which, after your most recent election, a nation far away had decided that the election was not up to their standards. Without evidence, they accused you of having rigged the result. As a result, they invaded you and started bombing your cities.

In that scenario, is the blame equal on both sides?

[Drax]

Jumhuriat al-Badara Chancellor Mustapha al-Makhtoum

This is a very constructive proposal from the Liori Represenatative. Frankly, both the Vascanian Empire and the Deltarian Federation would find themselves in a much better position than they are in if they accepted it. Not to mention the people of Rapa Pile.

Ms. Fodor Blanka*, Representative to the World Congress of the Deltarian Federation:

The response of the international community to the Vascanian annexation of Rapa Pile has been a toxic mixture of cowardice and appeasement. Nations that have relied on Deltaria for many years to guarantee their sovereignty against hostile, foreign aggression (oftentimes from Vascania) now decry before the world that Deltaria seeks to defend the sovereignty of another country from the same aggression. As my previous statement suggested it is clear that Deltaria stands almost alone in its willingness to see justice brought about in the world.

The notion that this is a conflict between two competing imperial powers clashing over spheres of influence is not only inaccurate, it is a deliberate mischaracterisation that must be the result of a willingness to ignore reality. Deltaria has no economic or diplomatic interest in Rapa Pile. The only motivation behind our action is an unshakeable belief in the principle at the centre of this institution, that all nations "are sovereign and their territorial integrity must be maintained".

Perhaps the most frustrating part of this whole vile business is the repeated denial of the facts of the matter surrounding the Vascanian annexation. Despite the host of concerns about the legitimacy of the referendum results in Rapa Pile- from the lack of oversight by election officials to the fact that the Vascanian government had already begun implementing the result before it had been held- some countries are willing to claim that there is no evidence that it was a sham.

The simple truth is that these countries are deceiving themselves. Knowing that they are afraid to put their lives on the line in the name of justice, they turn away from Rapa Pile in their time of need. For every country that claims they want this conflict resolved there is a simple option: demand immediately that Vascania reverse their attempted annexation. If other countries had joined Deltaria in guaranteeing the defence of Rapa Pile, this conflict would have been entirely avoided. How truly reprehensible that the same countries who turned their heads in the country's time of need now wax indignant about the loss of life.

*Note that the family name is placed first in this name.

Tarabai Ghadhaabi, Vascanian representative to the World Congress

Once again the Deltarian representative has villainously twisted reality to fit the narrow confines of her delusional state. Such a fanciful yarn-spinner should not be allowed into any self respecting body.

Vascania has not invaded any country. The last invasion by Vascanian forces was of Vascania in Vascania! It is Deltaria which has sought to defile the east with their gawdy military installations and their pitiful faux-charity. Deltaria does, indeed, stand alone. Stand alone in being the most unstable, reckless, close-minded, cretinous state to plague the globe.

Deltaria is either a nation afflicted by an invisible brain parasite, sucking the IQ points straight out of the frontal lobe, or they are lying through their yellow teeth. Deltaria is motivated by a fascistic, neanderthal-like desire to swing the biggest stick around the cave. Their ongoing motivation is derived from this desire.

Deltaria, as a nation relatively new to the democratic world and with a long history of authoritarianism, would not know a clean election if it smacked them across the face. Their claims are lies, built on misapprehensions, wrapped in dishonesty.

And here we get to the root of the psychosis. Deltaria maniacally believes that they are the only ones who can interpret the true desires of the eastern people, which is in their minds to feel a Deltarian boot at their throat. There would not have been a single life lost if Deltaria lived in the real world. We continue to point out : if Deltaria wants to avoid more deaths, they are welcome to discuss the terms of their surrender at any time.

Dolgavian Representative to the World Congress Margaret Keskkula

Turning our back on Rapa Pile? That statement is not only factually incorrect but it is also a funny thing for Deltaria, the one to declare war first and to fire the first shots, to say. You are slapping Rapa Pile around every time you fire a missile. Aggression just makes this whole situation even worse. We know our position and we know it well. Rapa Pile is a sovereign nation and should be considered a sovereign nation. A vote took place to incorporate it into Vascania. We are questionable to this action but need to see proof before we completely call it a sham. Dolgava is not a coward, we have no good feelings toward Vascania or Deltaria. This fight is useless. However we cannot let them do whatever the heck they want. We DEMAND the Security Council creates an army to deal with this action and to stop this fight. We must put our foot down and chain the Deltarian bear and the Vascanian menace!!! We will not be told by Deltaria that we are doing nothing, I will not be insulted by a country actively campaigning in a war of aggression and I will not support an Empire that held a questionable referendum to seize control a soveign nation.

Nyima Samal
World Congress Delegate for Utembo

Although we congratate the Delegation of Liore for drafting a resolution, we must ask the reasoning behind condemning Vascania? They were the nation attacked. Utembo believes that only Deltaria should be condemned. We do, however, agree with a repeat of the referendum. Not because we dont trust it, we do, but to bring peace to nations that might not.

Ms. Vászoly Csenge
Grand Director of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Second Directorial Republic of Endralon

It is terrible to see what is happening on our Planet, and how violence expand by the bloody hands of the Deltarian Federation. We concur with the Utemban representative and will do an investigation in the Security Council, making sure a proper proposal will be accepted.

[Drax]

Foreign Minister Salman Duqaq, Jumhuriat al-Badara

The Security Council seems likely to consider measures designed to influence shortening, mitigating or ending the war in Papa Pile; a matter presumably the Deltarian Federation and Vascanian Empire are also addressing along with burying their dead and taxation and other actions necessary for rebuilding their military.

There is one matter we have not seen addressed to date and that is funding of the repair and rebuilding of Rapa Pile and the fundamental services necessary for the functioning of a society itself. Presumably if either belligerent ends its war in possession it will fund that effort. It is also possible the EDO considers that a part of its charter but we are not informed on this.

If Rapa Pile ends its encounter with the warring parties either as a sovereign naton or a protectorate of some other nation or organization, it seems a proper subject to address is insuring somebody is providing relief. In the absence of discovering any such party, the World Congress may wish to undertake this effort itself. We recall that after the Kundrati attack, certain nations simply stepped forward and provided funds. But there there was a functioning government. In Rapa pile we have no way of knowing if that will be the case.

Accordingly, we do not believe it is too early to prepare.

Tarabai Ghadhaabi, Vascanian representative to the World Congress

Regardless of how this war ends, it should not be a controversial statement that it is Deltaria which has produced the most material destruction to the infrastructure of the islands via aerial bombing and shelling. While Vascania is more than willing to pay its fair share of the funds needed to rebuilt, even if this war ends inconclusively, we must insist that Deltaria pays its fair share as well - again, regardless of the outcome.

[Drax]

Foreign Minister Salman Duqaq, Jumhuriat al-Badara:

We do have a suggestion for the Representative of Liore with respect to the Security Council resolution. Why not eliminate the condemnation as an obstacle to passage and concentrate on the provisions?

Should there ever be a World Congress plebiscite we would recommend in addition to continuing current status or full independence there also be added the alternative of autonomous protectorate of the World Congress. Haven't done that before but might be useful to have a neutral garrison there as a permanent peace keeper.
