SANCTION REQUESTS
Pursuant to the European Commission (Sanctioning Powers) Act 2021, this office serves as the official submission point for member states' lodging of Sanction Requests against other member states. Please note that, according to the Act, four separate member states must lodge a Sanction Request against the same member state before the European Commission can formally consider the Request.
If the Commission then decides to grant the Sanction Request, a simple majority of the European Council must further agree to the Request before its effects come into force. The Commission will decide what form region-wide sanctions will take. The Council must renew, by majority vote, all region-wide sanctions every calendar month.
Please use the following form to submit Sanction Requests:
**Nation Name**: **Representative responsible for Request:** **Request made against:** **Additional Sanction Sponsors (if applicable):** **Detailed grounds for Sanction Request (minimum 100 words if first request, no limit if supporting):** **Other details/comments (optional):**Note: nations supporting a Sanction Request made by a previous nation are not obliged to fill out detailed grounds for their Sanction Request. They may instead refer to the earlier Request.

Premier Cocx,
Communist groups seized power in the territory of Icholasen last year, and have been a constant force for destabilisation and terror in the whole region. Our governments sincerely believe this regime must be toppled by whatever means necessary to ensure stability and peace in the region. The Kingdom of Montenbourg and the Empire of Inimicus, resolute in their friendship, request the Commission to enact region-wide sanctions against the Union of Nicolezian Socialist Republics, to isolate them from sources of arms, food, materials, and money, and to enact both economic, diplomatic, and individual sanctions against this regime. We stress the urgency of the current moment, realising the USNR have been free to act in whatever way they like thus far. This must stop.

United Duchies backs the sanctions request on UNSR -
Mr. Cocx,
I can inform you, despite the fact that my government in Port Beauharnais is not in favor of sanctioning and prefers dialogue, that we fully support this request.
The UNSR government can also function freely through the support of specific member states. In this way they contribute to the continued violation of fundamental rights and the destability of the European Union.
Region-wide sanctions against the Union of Nicolezian Socialist Republics must, in this way, also call these countries to order.
Mrs. Paul-Gabrielle Muzhare
EU Councillor for the Republic of Nofoaga -
Premier Cocx,
Hereby I present you the countries whom endorse this Sanction Request. The Empire of Inimicus, The United Duchies, The Republic of Nofoaga and The Kingdom of Montenbourg. Four countries as stipulates the Sanctions Act.
Emma Granger,
Councillor for Montenbourg -
Mr. Cocx,
After having a discussion with my government, I support the sanctions request as well.
Francis Plessis
EU Councilor for Leagio -
I thank all Member States who have supported the Sanction Request against the UNSR. As more than four Member States have supported this Request, the Commission will now deliberate and, if it is decided that region-wide Sanctions should be enacted, it will propose a Sanction Motion to the European Council forthwith.
Dr Walter Cocx
Premier Commissioner -
I must further ask member states who intend to support sanction requests separately to the initial request to use the form indicated above. I have amended it slightly to reflect supporting motions. The Sanction Act prescribes that member states shall make individual, separate requests in support of sanctions, and we must adhere to it.

Nation Name: The Empire of Inimicus
Representative responsible for Request: Imperial Foreign Officer Sarah Gladwell
Request made against: Istkalen
Additional Sanction Sponsors (if applicable): None at this time
Detailed grounds for Sanction Request (minimum 100 words if first request, no limit if supporting): The Federation of Istkalen has descended into violence, turmoil, and bloodshed well beyond anything hitherto seen even inside its own borders. Cannibalism and other unprecedented atrocities have taken hold of the entire nation, which recently declared open war against every European nation. It is rumoured Istkalen's military is currently engaging in offensive operations against Reitzmag, which, though not a friend of His Imperial Majesty, deserves European nations' full support. It is the opinion of His Imperial Majesty's Government that there has never been, and possibly never will be, a more appropriate subject for the Premier Commissioner's Sanctioning Act than Istkalen at the present time. The Imperial Government fully supports suspension of Istkalen's European membership, but feels appropriate actions must also be taken against the Istkalen regime. Through region-wide sanctions, applied and enforced on an international, European scale, the Federation of Istkalen may be liberated from its successive, corrupt, and plainly dangerous governments.
Other details/comments (optional): The Empire of Inimicus specifically requests that humanitarian aid and supplies of food, fresh water, and other basic necessities, are not included in any region-wide sanctions packages against Istkalen -
Premier Cocx,
As the Government of Istkalen has declared a State of War on all of Europe, including Ruthund, I see no reason why I can't support these sanctions. Istkalen has poised itself a clear and present threat to the EU's member states and these are one of the few instances I feel it proper for the EU to have a unified policy. With the permission of my government, I also request that sanctions be placed on Istkalen under the provisions written by Sarah Gladwell.
Tony Odhinazen
EU Councilor, Ruthund -
United Duchies backs sanctions on Istkalen for the security and stability of Europe.
James Mizrachi-Roscoe, Councillour for United Duchies -
The Republic of Fremet supports the sanction request, as petitioned by Officer Gladwell of Inimicus. It is of utmost importance that the European Union remain a united front in the face of universal threats, both outside and within.
Istkalen surpasses the bar for presenting a threat to this Union, the safety of our memberstates, and the wellbeing of our citizens. Sanctions are not only necessary, but required to adequately address this threat.
Amy Poehler
AA Secretariat
Republic of Fremet -
The Republic of Nofoaga does support this request.
We are heavily concerned by the attitude of the government of Istkalen and will defend at any cost our democracy, values of liberty and respect and brotherhood.
For this reason and the un going happenings since the very beginning of Istkalen its membership of our union, it has nothing done except rotten the EU, rotten collaboration and rotten any diplomacy.
Mrs. Paul-Gabrielle Muzhare
EU Councilor for the Republic of Nofoaga -
I thank representatives from Inimicus, Ruthund, the United Duchies, Fremet, and Nofoaga for their Sanction Requests. I hereby inform you that the required number of Sanction Requests under the European Commission (Sanctioning Powers) Act 2021 has been met, and consequently the Commission will deliberate on appropriate sanctions packages against Istkalen, before proposing said package to the European Council.
Premier Commissioner Dr Walter Cocx
