Comrade representatives, I'm glad we can put an end to this bickering. I accept the apology from the Endralonian delegation for the racist remarks of their previous representative, and I offer my own to the Security Council for my part in the continuation of this squabble. However, my views on the 3M corporation remain unchanged and I must disagree with the Istalian representative's view on the role of this particular corporation in global affairs and their analysis of my own argument, but obviously this is a topic that is not worth continuing. I will withdraw my proposed resolution to suspend the Endralonian representative in interest of finally moving past this, and I will continue my support for the Istalian representative Stefano Giallini to assume the Presidency of the Security Council.
To address the issues raised by the Endralonian representative, I must respectfully disagree on all accounts.
On the issue of "why a Deltarian political party trying to intervene in the World Congress Security Council election process of the Seat A," I honestly see no issue. All nations of the West are permitted to vote in the elections of each Security Council Seat, with the exception of Seat C which is left to the East to appoint, and it is the right of all Westerners to campaign and vote for who they see as fit to sit in this council. This right to campaign seems to be one shared by at least two Endralonian parties, the Direct Democrats and the Ndrálon People's Party, evident by their
participation in an organization campaigning for all five Security Council Seats. Mrs. Vass, you are a representative of a government made up of these two parties and if I'm not mistaken you are a member of the Direct Democrats, so I fail to see the issue you are trying to raise and I hope you can elaborate further on this topic in case there is something I am missing.
On the other two topics that are brought up, I must express the opinion that the scope of the Security Council must be heavily restricted so as not to interfere in the national sovereignty of the nations we are meant to mediate rather than legislate to. In Rutania I see another non-issue, as there is no threat to Rutanian democracy in this scenario. The state of Rutania's Commonwealth Assembly as being short members is not because of the work of some cabal of authoritarians, but because of the decision by those Assembly members to willingly vacate their position, and the decision by the ruling National Party and any of her colleagues to not alter their nation's electoral cycle is most definitely not a threat to democracy. In the end, I see no issue, and I must agree with Mrs. Vass that the World Congress is not an organization that should have the power to interfere with the elections of its member-states.
On the issue of Narikaton and Darnussia, again I see no issue. The
legislation you've provided to us that has been passed with the support of the Fritzites and the Arbeiterpartei for the most part shows progress in the accumulation of labour rights in Narikaton and Darnussia. You pointed out specifically that this bill allows employers to fire striking workers who have gone on strike without "reasonable reasons," but fail to mention that this was a proposal to change the previous policy of allowing employers to fire striking workers in any and all scenarios. All of the proposals in this bill you've provided us show the advancement of workers rights. Collective bargaining is legalized for public sector employees, trade unions are legalized and democratized, and the right to stirke itself is expanded. As a socialist, I must say that I'm disappointed at the slow progress of the liberation of workers in Narikaton and Darnussia, but I recognize the progress that is being made as invaluable. To stray off a bit, I would agree to a general condemnation of the exploitation of workers by the Security Council, but again I must reaffirm my commitment to national sovereignty and reject any attempt to interfere in Narikaton and Darnussia.
I thank the Endralonian representative for raising these issues and giving me the chance to make my stances on them and on the role of the Security Council known, and I'd like to call attention to the global economic crisis that Terra now faces. As we all know, this crisis was caused by the
collapse of Deltarian markets and threatens to put at risk the prosperity and health of the residents of the countries most effected, particularly lower and working class residents. I believe it is our imperative responsibility to foster discussion on how the nations of Terra can brace themselves for this crisis and prevent a wide-scale humanitarian nightmare. It is the opinion of my government that the nations least affected by this crisis should focus on delivering humanitarian aid to the people of the nations who are. My government, who's stable mixed-market policies have prevented us from feeling the worst of this crisis, is currently securing the welfare of our people employed by failing western businesses, and we plan soon to assist our neighboring Dovanian nations, many of whom have unfortunately become reliant on now falling western investment and business, in their recovery through humanitarian aid and economic investment aimed at growing local economies and lessening their reliance on unstable western markets. We implore our fellow members of the Security Council and the World Congress to assist in granting humanitarian aid first to their own people and then to their hard-effected neighbors, and we invite further discussion on how to address this crisis.
Thank you.
Ms. Zobor Réka
