Repeal the Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen
-
As I have categorically stated, repealing this condemnation does not require recognition or even admission of the UNSR. That should be covered by a separate piece of legislation. All that this would do is open the opportunity for recognition and admission, which will be handled at a later time.
Iras Tilkanas
Councillor for the Republic of Istkalen -
I must say to this council that while I personally share skepticism of the government of the UNSR, what I am seeing from many in this chamber is unfortunately baseless speculation about what is actually happening the UNSR. As Councilor Tilkanas rightly pointed out, there simply isn't any credible evidence from the UNSR of any significant human rights abuses, or other infringements on freedoms that otherwise could be found among nations within the European Union. In fact, if we are to believe reports of what is happening throughout the Union, it would appear the UNSR is a freer society than some of our member states. Shall this be our reason to remain hostile to a regime that has shown no intention thusfar of agression? If that is the case, let it be known in the record that Ruthund will be proposing later other proposals to penalize certain nations for more credible reports of human rights violation and in particular, infringement on political freedom. And if we find ourselves in that situation, I best not hear from members from this Council that we "need to respect the right of self-determination". But I am sure Councilors Tusk, Yahontov, Bordaberry, and Mizrachi-Roscoe will support these future bills.
Prince-Councilor Tony Odhinazen
EU Councilor for Ruthund -
I would like to thank Councillor Tilkanas for her clarifications, which are indeed useful not just for me, but for everyone. Apart from that, my apologies for the misleading statements I might have done about the Union of Nicoleizian Soviet Republics.
As requested, debate will be extended for 72 hours, until 22:47 GMT on December 20th, 2021.
Donald Tusk
Deputy Speaker and Councillor for Spain -
I would like to request a second debate extension.
Iras Tilkanas
Councillor for the Republic of Istkalen -
I must say that the Right Honourable Councillour Odhinazen has made a good point. We cannot possibly justify keeping this legislation over human rights and issues over democracy while less democratic countries are in the Union. While of course democracy is optimal we cannot achieve this through sanctioning and activism in the EU. Any movement for democracy must come from within. After hearing many good points I have no doubt that repeal is in order. We must work to find other ways to find common ground with UNSR and achieve reform perhaps offering benefits for reforms they make extra funding for example. We must use the carrot in this situation since the stick is obviously not working .
James Mizrachi-Roscoe, Councillour for United Duchies
-
I do believe, Councillor Tilkanas, that this extension is needed and they will still take place until both the Fremetian and Nicoleizian Councillor make their appearance on the chamber.
As requested, debate will be extended for 96 hours, until 22:47 GMT on December 24th, 2021.
Donald Tusk
Deputy Speaker and Councillor for Spain -
I would like to request, yet again, a debate extension.
