Debate on this starts NOW and will last until 16:15 GMT on October 8th, 2020.

Ruthund is neither a neutral state, nor is it a law-abiding state which deserves the privileges that come with EU-recognized neutrality.

Ruthund has flagrantly ignored the European Council's Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen, and has gone on to recognise the UNSR. This is a total breach of European law, and it is actually an offense that can be, and ought to be, punished by the European Court of justice - as we've just seen with the ECoJ fining the government and King of Reitzmag.

You cannot claim ignorance on the matter, because when your government recognised the UNSR, your country's very own opposition stated, and I quote, "this is not a not a move of a neutral nation". I concur with this assessment, made in your very own country, that this is not a neutral move. A state cannot be ignoring EU Council resolutions, break EU law, and still be considered neutral a entity. Again, if we're to be consistent here and treat your country like Reitzmag, then your government ought to be standing before the ECoJ as we speak. This is something that happens to rogue states, not neutral ones.

A neutral state is awarded certain rights and privileges by the European Union. We, as a Union, cannot in good faith award such privileges to a rogue state such as your own.
