Well said Ambassador.
Luthori and the Bundesrepublik share a long, chequered and sometimes violent past, on our border remains a constant reminder of this in the shape of the Wall. It is taking many years, but we are finally looking to de-militarise and ultimately, demolish the wall.
We can confirm Jens III von Thaller, Präsident von Narikaton und Darnussien, and a member of the Eiserner Ring, formerly the TE, has given us support for continued negotiations. The Eiserner Ring has openly said they wish to move towards better relations with Luthori.
I can hereby confirm, the Luthori Republic has no further issues with the Eiserner Ring, and if the people vote for them, whilst we may not agree with all their policies domestically, they are not breaking any laws or resolutions internationally. If they enter Government, so be it.
The Security Council is not here to intervene in elections, it is here to ensure crimes against humanity are stopped, to offer support for continued peace & security across Terra, to stop the threat of genocide such as the threat issued by the King of Utembo, and it is here to ensure democracy thrives with the promotion of human rights, social freedoms and economic prosperity.
At least this is how I see the Security Council, and I know Ambassador Dougall does too, that is why alongside Resolution 23, is 24 and 25, to peace-keep in Dovani and create an Anti Slavery Office for this august body.
First and foremost the Security Council is interested in the eradication of slavery and the slave trade in Vorona and Beiteynu. We are delighted to see 8 nations have already ratified the Embargo Against Vorona, and that Barmenistan is also considering it (

As the Foreign Office of Luthori said in its statement to Terra, we are also seeking to present;
Resolution 26 , which will seek to establish a Social Council.
Resolution 27, which will seek to establish an International Court of Justice.
Resolution 28, which would allow for a programme of 'Offices' to co-ordinate World Congress and Security Council Affairs.
Luthori calls upon the Ambassadors of Hutori, Dorvik and Baltusia to attend the Security Council We welcome the regular attendance and participation of the Istalian Ambassador. We are minded to present a Resolution to allow for the termination of a membership on the Security Council, passing it to the nation that came second in the vote.
I am hopeful that during this term, the Security Council will have tackled slavery, the slave trade, genocide, peacekeeping in Dovani, democracy, international law, social affairs, economic affairs and the future of the World Congress as a body.
But first, we need the Security Council to vote on these Resolutions, and then we need nations and Government to participate in the World Congress Mission to Dovani and the World Congress Anti Slavery Office, otherwise we are all just wasting time.
