By repealing this act, the Union will be giving validity to a violent communist coup and the suppression of freedoms and democracy.
Until fair and free elections can be held in the presence of European observers, their entry into the union must be blocked.
To continue on this course of action will provide future precedent to recognise illegitimate governments that seized power from the people and supplanted the duly elected government.
Not only that, but were this Union to recognise the UNSR and allow its reentry into this body, it would demonstrate a complete lack of resolve to support legitimate governments that have been elected by the people and demonstrate that the only thing an oppressive or illegitimate government needs to do in order to get in the Union's good graces is to last long enough.
There have been multiple major civil and military actions taken against the duly established governments in their respective countries over the past few weeks. In this time of uncertainty, the Union must support its members and preserve the rule of law across Europe.
By acknowledging the government in Icholasen, it would establish a grave precedent for how the transition of power should occur in this region. Violence should not be an answer to the question of legitimacy. If the push for a change in government is so strong in a nation that the established powers are overturned in a violent change of power, let it be a revolution of the people. One that can be vilified by fair and free democratic elections afterward, in the presence of verified and objective outside observers.
The Union must remain firm in its opposition to the illegitimate government in Icholasen.
My colleague from Vayinaod brings up an interesting point. I concur with the reasoning that, should we have to allow the UNSR to reenter the Union, it should do so without nuclear weapons. A country that has time and again experienced systematic social and political instability, interfered in the geopolitic, and threatened its neighbours with its weapons' terrifying power to destroy, does not deserve to have nuclear weapons. The mere presence of them in a regime that is only accountable to itself is not only dangerous to the regime's enemies, but to the stability of the region itself.
However, until the UNSR can prove itself to be accountable to its citizenry, my government stands in opposition to it and its reentry into this body.
