Petitioner(s): The Government of the Federation of Istkalen
Petitionee(s): the state known as the United Duchies
Reason for petition: Violations of right of association, in recent mass arrests.
Relevant part(s) of the Constitution / legislation: Section XIX of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Evidence:
A) http://nseuropeanunion.com/topic/768/rtd-24/16
i. In which the Government of the United Duchies declares the Union of Syndicates a terrorist association. Let it be known, several parts of the state apparatus had been seized by terrorists at the time; however, this has ended. The current government has no affiliation or desire to be affiliated with terrorists or terrorism.
B) http://nseuropeanunion.com/topic/768/rtd-24/18
ii. In which the Government of the United Duchies, following the expulsion of terrorists from their shaky control of parts of the state apparatus in Kiel, confirms mass arrests of leftist politicians, at least partially because of "connections to foreign hostile regimes supporting terrorism," which we may infer includes the Union of Syndicates and political parties registered therin, which we have already demonstrated to be without affiliation or desire to be affiliated with terrorists or terrorism. Because of the vagueness of this statement, as well as of the initial declaration of the Union of Syndicates as a terrorist actor, this could very well be on charges perhaps ridiculous enough as to allow for the arrest of individuals simply for having an entirely personal relationship with a civil servant - a clerk, for example.
C) http://nseuropeanunion.com/topic/768/rtd-24/19
iii. In which the Government of the United Duchies continues mass arrests for reasons already stated based upon association.
Remedy: Release of all those arrested for associating with, at the very least, the Government of the Union of Syndicates; if "The Left" is found, by this action, to be without ties to terrorism, then it must be re-included as a party able to participate in elections. One hundred hours of community service each for the High Duke and Prime Minister of the United Duchies.
