Crown Prince Banmek-Sntazed,
Thank you for making contact with me. It was not my intention to have such public correspondence with figures of government but I now consider that it is an ideal way to highlight the nations which persist in their abuse of
human rights. While I am certain you will feel differently, it is the view of the
Human Rights Foundation that the nation of Vanuku is one which has repeatedly breached
human rights and, further to that, supported other nations which breach
human rights- often turning a blind eye to offences far worse than would permitted in your own nation.
The foundation of Vanuku's tolerance for these disgusting policies is 'sovereignty', the concept that the people of a nation have the right to govern themselves. Nonetheless, Vanuku has also shown that it does not believe in this principle, except when it is convenient. There was no respect for the sovereignty of the Republic of Saridan
when the First Fleet pushed into Saridanese territory nor was there when
they were forced to accept the supreme dictatorship of a member of your royal family.
Furthermore, a distinction should be made between the Kalistani government and the people of Kalistan. Indeed, the
Human Rights Foundation is currently based in Kaliburg and as you appear to understand, my previous experience was in Kalistani politics but that should be irrelevant to the matter at hand, the advancement of
human rights across Terra. It disappoints me that you would rather concern yourself with my country of origin than actually what I have to say. It is rather unfair to criticise me for not speaking up in relation to the execution of Admiral Shlajkai-Jansen, given that I would not be born for fifty years but obviously the position of the
Human Rights Foundation is that he should not have been killed. Regardless of how infrequent executions are, you will remain on the blacklist until they are banned outright.
I am not asking you to alter your laws because you are on this list, I am asking you to alter your laws because they represent a breach of
human rights.
Regards,
Sophia Conti, Secretary-General of the
Human Rights Foundation
