[Res.] Situation in Humania

Pacifica
,
14

Dear Ambassadors,

we cannot fully agree with the ambassador from Inetez. The argument that the resolution should focus on all nations rather than just on Humania is nonsense. The principle is applicable to every nation. Humania is the one breaching it right now. Ergo the resolution is focused on Humania.
Now let me focus on the intervention thesis. Yes, the WF malfunctioned during the recent conflict. That’s why my predecessor wanted to include the right to self defence. The main reason we proposed this resolution is so that it doesn’t get to an intervention! The WF has to work proactively, so that it can prevent armed conflicts. Yes maybe North Cordilian nations would be legally allowed to intervene in Humania, but that is not the goal. The goal is to make an intervention unnecessary. The goal is to get into a dialogue with Humania. Because even if we were to intervene, in the end we will have to sit down and talk. It is my opinion that while the ambassador from Inetez has understood the fine details of the resolution and the situation, they have missed the main idea by miles.
We agree with the ambassador from the Central Bailtemmic Republic. This is a very dangerous precedent. Allowing nations to invade without authorisation by the World Forum will lead to a, I dare to say, global war. We have to establish a monopoly on the use of force. This is a topic for another time.
To speed up the process, I have decided to move to vote on the resolution with the amendments we have proposed in its final form:

World Forum

RES 18 (2022)

Emblem of the World Forum

Assembly of the World Forum

Distr.: General
DD Month YYYY

Resolution 18 adopted by the Assembly on DD Month YYYY

Installment of an investigation observer team for human rights and Grovne Conventions in Humania

Section A — Standard Measure(s) Adopted

  1. A complaint by the Assembly WFR 1d Sec. F Subsec. 2 Ltr. a

  2. An installment of human rights observers according to WFR 1d Sec. F Subsec. 2 Ltr. c

  3. Possible further standard measures if Sec. B, Subsec. 4 is fulfilled and implemented by Sec. C, Subsec. 3, with the possibility of skipping.

Section B — Explanation of Necessity and Proportionality

  1. The development of the MCU-Venom tank has made multiple nations which are in close range to Humania uncomfortable. Multiple nations have already imposed sanctions against Humania, due to the fear that the MCU-Venom tank is against the Grovne Conventions which regulate the rules of war. To decide whether the MCU-Venom tank is in contradiction to the Grovne Conventions, an international expert committee, neutral of all countries, is necessary to determine the legality of the MCU-Venom tank.

  2. The complaint by the Assembly to the Head of State of Humania will allow Humania to explain their stance on the MCU-Venom tank. Furthermore, the complaint allows the Assembly to insert certain requirements the Humanian reply would have to answer. The complaint will help the goal of the World Forum of determine whether the MCU-Venom tank is compliant with the Grovne Conventions. It will also show that the World Forum is not an aggressive player on the world stage, but peaceful and mediating.

  3. Due to the weight the complaint by the Assembly holds and the opportunity it gives, the formal complaint letter by the Speaker of the Assembly is skipped according to WFR 1d Sec. F Subsec. 1 S. 3. The complaint by the Speaker of the Assembly would only hinder the task which the complaint by the Assembly is hoping ot reach: mediation between the international community and the state of Humania. It could be perceived as a show of discord inside the World Forum, when unity is what we need.

  4. The World Forum and the observer team rely on the cooperation of Humania for the investigation. Due to the fact that standard measures are applicable to nations not part of the World Forum (WFR 11d, Sec. E, Subsec. 3) the World Forum is within its right to enforce these measures. Should Humania not cooperate the World Forum will need tools to work with to ensure Humanias cooperation to determine whether the MCU-Venom is legal. Further standard measures would be necessary if Humania refuses to cooperate, hinders, or otherwise interfere in the investigations and/or if the MCU-Venom tank is found to be illegal under the Grovne Conventions.

Section C — Implementation

  1. The World Forum hereby decides to write a complaint letter in the name of member nations of the World Forum. The complaint is to be jointly written by members of the World Forum, which are to be determined separately, either by a vote or appointed by the Speaker. The complaint shall be sent to the Head of State of Humania.

  2. An international expert observer team on human rights and Grovne Convention is to be created. It shall consist of 14 members and shall be independent of any nation. Its task is to verify whether the MCU-Venom tank, as well as it’s development, construction and implementation is legal under international law and the Grovne Conventions. It reports to the Committee on International Law. After the investigations, it will present a report to the same committee which will inform the Assembly on the situation and further action.

  3. The World Forum reserves the right to enforce further standard measures should Humania refuse, hinder, or otherwise interfere in the investigations and/or if the MCU-Venom tank is found to be illegal under the Grovne Conventions.

Thank you!

Ambassador of the Republic of Eflad to the World Forum
