HUMANITARIAN TASK FORCE ESTABLISHED
First Republic Humanitarian Task Force (PREP) Deployment Imminent


Elephant & Castle, SoCRER - Lord Quintus Durant, Secretary of the Republic for the Southern Department of the Foreign Affairs Joint Committee, has confirmed the official commissioning of the Pestilence Response and Evacuation Protocol (PREP), which will be deployed to the Grand Covenant of Cantignia and be situated in relative close proximity to the region of the country where the quarantine was established, for the betterment of facilitating an efficient evacuation and scientific and medical evaluation.

Speaking to a large selection of European news correspondents to Elephant and Castle in SoCRER, whom were invited aboard the ERN Merciless for the occasion prior to deployment, Lord Quintus Durant confirmed that the humanitarian task force will be fully operational upon the ERN Merciless, deployed from SoCRER, and the ERN Discomfort and the ERN Black Heart, from NoCRER, establishing that necessary unifying contact in the North Thaumantic Ocean, southeast of Cantignia; it has been designated the Pestilence Response and Evacuation Protocol (PREP) by the Republic Naval Council and the Southern Department.

Adding to the public statement, he stated that PREP represents the pinnacle of deployible scientific and medical research and development, with the most advanced forward operating medical facilities in the Thaumantic Ocean Area.

The Southern Secretary then elaborated on the operations of PREP, including the impending arrival of science and medical teams from Hammersmith, Elephant and Castle, and Henrietta, commenting that in the approaching hours, independent experts in several fields, invited by the RNC and the Southern Department from civilian institutions in the Republic to join the teams allocated by ourselves, in an effort to work toward a common, humanitarian resolution for the Pestilence Crisis afflicting Vesper.

Closing the press conference before thanking international media, Lord Quintus Durant also confirmed the dates for a Pestilence Hearing in Elephant and Castle, two months from now.

The First Republic Media Group observed perhaps nearing a hundred vessels and aircraft arriving in Henrietta for ERN Merciless this morning, which were informed to be delivering laboratory equipment, supplies and biological containment equipment.

The composition of PREP includes the ERN Merciless and the ERN Discomfort, hospital vessels of the Engellexian Republic Navy, and the ERN Black Heart, a destroyer escort vessel that will be assisted by a full compliment of two helicopters.

The Grand Covenant gladly welcomes the chance to work together with Engellexian personnel on tackling the Pestilence Crisis domestically and potentially internationally, and believe now that the Twin Republics are taking these deaths and afflictions seriously.

One simple request however is that the naval mission submits to a neutral party inspection authority such as Senecan officials or Eiffellandian. If that basic stipulation can be agreed upon then we foresee no further reason for conflict with Republican parties. Despite religious and political divides, we are presented with an opportunity to show our racial harmony in responding to a health crisis as allies instead of foes, if only for this one issue.

The Eiffellandian team looks forward to cooperating with PREP. We will share everything we discovered and will discover about the disease with PREP and all other scientific teams involved, and ask PREP and all other scientific teams involved to do the same. Only then will we be able to develop a cure.

ACCESS FOR PREP AGREED
Humanitarian Task Force (PREP) Access Agreed


Elephant & Castle, SoCRER - The Pestilence Response and Evacuation Protocol (PREP) task force has been given full authorization to access Cantignian exclusive waters in order to access the quarantine area and, more importantly, citizens of the First Republic trying to leave, the Southern Department has announced in the last hour.

After a condition stipulated by the government of Felix II, and following a particularly humbling acceptance of that condition by the Southern Department of the Foreign Affairs Joint Committee, the Engellexian Republic fulfilled a criteria set by Cantignia for PREP to be permitted access to Vesper in order to assist with the ongoing relief and evacuation effort.

After the news broke of the Southern Department's decision, the Commanding Officer of PREP task force immediately released a public statement to the international press in Elephant and Castle, expressing that those of PREP were absolutely elated with the decision to allow access to Cantignia. Thanks was especially extended to the Southern Secretary, Lord Quintus Durant, for what he called his empathy and understanding at such a troubling time for the people of the Republic and lauded the leaders of the First Republic for an astonishingly humble gesture in a difficult time of agitation between two Thaumantic neighbours.

Reaction among those of the First Republic has been varied, with a number of members of the Southern Congress and Northern Congress openly expressing their dissatisfaction with the actions of both the Southern Department and its parent committee, the Foregin Affairs Joint Committee, when questioned by national and international press. Conversely, the Duke of Clarence and Nolland, the Lord Guarantor of the Engell-Himyar Trading Company, has expressed his approval of the Southern Department's stance after the escalating events.

In a public statement made, in Henrietta, SoCRER, a little over twenty minutes ago, he expressed that while some might not agree, Lord Quintus Durant has made the correct decision. A statement to Europe on the legacy of a forward, progressive civilisation placing the ordinary people of the First Republic and Cantignia before the politics and dignity of the Republic is a solid gesture and truly the right thing to do. The Engell-Himyar Trading would like to express our collective respect and gratitude for the Southern Department's swift and decisive response to the unnecessary troubles.

DIPLOMATIC SECURITY PROTOCOL EXECUTED
Embassy of the First Republic Removed from Vesper

Elephant & Castle, SoCRER - Engellexian Republic Embassy : Lord & Lady Peace Estate in Vesper, Cantignia, where an extraordinary crisis had been manufactured to undermine Civilization, has been dutifully intercepted and removed by the raw force and reach of the air wing belonging to the Engellexian Republic Navy.

According to official reports in NoCRER and SoCRER, the Engellexian Republic Navy was acting under direct orders from the Council of the Republic, claiming that repeated attempts at allowing for an agreeable and calm negotiation of the situation, on the part of the Covenant of Cantignia, over the undetermined organisation of biological disturbances, ultimately failed. Shortly before 10:00 PMT (Penhaligon Mean Time) on Wednesday, the ERN infiltrated the previously recognized political borders of Cantignia, utilizing capable helicopters from the Pestilence Response and Evacuation Protocol (PREP) task force, and arrived upon the Lord & Lady Peace Estate - the diplomatic mission, of the First Republic, suffering under a continued siege. Almost immediately, the Engellexian Republic Navy executed a diplomatic security protocol of the Engellexian Republic.

Though no full official casualty reports have been released, based on the official staffing of the embassy, and unofficial estimates by local correspondents of those ill and dying people forced upon the embassy estate, it is estimated between three and five thousands men, women and children lost their lives. The Lord & Lady Peace Estate is absolutely destroyed - nothing can be recovered.

The Engellexian Republic Senate has called an emergency session to discuss the circumstances of the protocol and the hostile action of Competitor governments. The Foreign Affairs Joint Committee has issued a brief statement saying, the Engellexian Republic is committed to peace and the preservation of human health and dignity, unfortunately the necessary step was taken to guarantee our commitment.

The Engellexian Republic Navy remains on high alert.

SOUTHERN SECRETARY ADDRESSES CRISIS

EBC Republic Forum :- Lord Quintus Durant Speaks

Elephant & Castle, SoCRER - The Secretary of the Republic, Lord Quintus Durant, has just addressed the Engellexian Republic in an internationally broadcast speech. Speaking from on the EBC Republic Forum program, in Elephant & Castle, SoCRER, the Southern Secretary publicly addressed the Cannie-Engello Crisis of Engellpox that developed into an unfortunate, but necessary, public health and national security concern.

Embarrassment, considerable embarrassment, as well from the sense of the great importance of this particular event, as from a consciousness of our own incapability. The incidents alluded to, without pause, this month by our own, and the international news, called - no doubt, and understandably, for the undivided attention of the Engellexian Republic - and of Europe, but there is nothing in the state of the First Republic, or the Thaumantic Domain, to justify that degree of darkness and discouragement which some Quarters sought to produce.

The severe retraction of warmth and cooperation that had, indeed, developed this month with increasing escalation, has throughout been marked by a wise candour, for while the Engellexian Republic has consciously dwelt upon those events which formed a just cause of the greatest concern, this Republic determined neither to exaggerate the public - your distress, and the distress of other people in Europe, nor did we attempt on the other hand to blindfold Europe as to the severity of the pressure. While it has been necessary, by the urgency of the concerns, to only address those difficulties of recently, those that it was believed would be found to exist but for a short time, it should have also been decided necessary to formally congratulate the First Republic upon the triumph of our liberties. And how could it be to withhold that congratulation from such an achievement as that liberation gifted at Al-Kez?

That achievement indeed, and the undertaking which led to it, served to show that the First Republic was forward to remedy any injustice, by the exertion of which it could be personally touched; that without any immediate interest of its own to consider, the practice of injustice or oppression towards other nations and peoples was enough to excite active intervention. This achievement, indeed, presented a further display of the gallant supremacy of the Engellexian Republic Navy, recalling to our recollection, that however dazzled we had been of late by the underhanded exploits of the tyranny of our Competitor neighbours, the only reason why our navy has not been engaged in continued effort was, because it had had no equal to contend with. The accession to the fame of our Civilization which our navy had obtained in this instance, was undoubtedly of the utmost importance, forming, as it did, an additional bulwark for the security of our Sovereignty, as well as for the great object of freedom.

It is by the consideration of the liberating spirit of our Republic, that I trust the people of - Engells - THAUMANTICANS - would never allow themselves to be consumed by the false appeals of those, who, under the pretence of petitioning for a redress of grievances suffered, or for the suffering, are found monopolizing international broadcasters upon subjects and incidents which were quite above the comprehension of the poor benighted governments. But the design of those nations could not be misunderstood. Under the pretence of public health - distress - loss of life, these nations were in fact seeking only their own uninspired interest. Such nations were indeed as bad as the fanatical fictionals who do go on with that book of Tibur in one hand, and an assault rifle in the other, preaching peace and benevolence, while they meditated war and oppression. But I trust you, I trust your good sense and loyalty of the First Republic would effectually defeat those wild and desperate enterprises.

And of those foreign enterprises, I would never call upon Parlement for the enactment of any strong measure to put down their sponsors. The proceedings of our Competitors were no doubt calculated to create the greatest misfortune, but those nations and their acts will die of themselves. The deliberations of the Engellexian Republic Parlement should not ever be influenced by the sudden outburst of THEIR envy, nor should it proceed to legislate in any vindictive spirit.

The severity of our distress, the crisis of this November, which you can trust that every possible means has been devised to relieve, where it exists, and that with this view every practicable reduction would be made of the public concern. Compare the conditions of yourselves, of the First Republic - of the Thaumantic Domain, with that of other nations, in which entire cities have been destroyed, and whole populations deprived of very basic rights that we have enjoyed for centuries - they are starving for nourishment, the provision of shelter, that FREEDOM to be intimate as only an EQUAL could within a PROGRESSED society. We do not have very much to consider for complaint, but our First Republic is one of plenty that forms the greatest source of THEIR complaint.

With the Engellexian Republic refusing to guarantee it will not repeat the military action undertaken to wipe out its embassy in the Cantignian capital Vesper, the Azraqi Empire has no option but to demand Engellex remove all diplomatic staff from Azraqi territory and close any diplomatic outposts.

This is not intended to downgrade bilateral relations between our two great nations but simply to guarantee the security and territorial integrity of the Empire. We cannot risk the lives of imperial citizens, subjects or foreign guests residing in Jugol and elsewhere.

Burning a place infested with infectious micro-organisms down is indeed an effective way to fight an infectious disease. There are, however, less drastic and more elegant ways to do so. I guarantee you that we would have been able to cure at least 80% of the people who died in the attack on the Engellexian embassy. And we would have done so without a hidden agenda; a simple "thank you" would have been enough. We are scientists, not warriors.
Should a comparable situation occur in any Engellexic diplomatic posts in Eiffelland, we beg the Government of the First Republic to trust us in handling it.

The Two Kingdoms of Jyskerige and Østveg would like to express its concern in that Engellkin powers of the Marklandic-Thaumantic region seem to justify their case for the end of human suffering, by removing the humanity from those who cannot stand for themselves. Should such a result be common place, Europe would be condemned to a world in which the ancients came to such a thesis, ‘the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.’ It is the opinion of Gøthehavn that the world has moved forward from the sheer brutality of the ancients, and instead advanced with improved tools in all fields of the human centered world.

This message should not be assumed to be as one of caution. Indeed, the Jysk-Austwegian consensus is not one of hostility, but one of one sincere regret and disappointment. We felt that liberty enshrined with in the Engellkin world has placed it as a paragon for the advances of human reasoning and human discovery. Here our assumptions have disappointed all but the most ignorant and casual of observers.

There are are no warnings, there are no consequences. Only shame should fall upon the house of the Engellkin. This shame is not alone for those of the Thaumantic to bear alone. The shame falls upon us all equally, and it is even found here among Nordic civilization as well. Why? Why should we as casual observers who did not act remain absent of blame? The policy of the Two Kingdoms on this topic was one of hesitancy due to the lack of understanding and communication of the desires of the Engellkin world. This failure to communicate is the prime error in how this crisis was handled from the outset. With better diplomatic channels, and better understandings for the requirement of aid we could have handled this crisis promptly and with better regard for those in need.

Thus, the recommendation of these Two Kingdoms is that more regular communication be maintained in the Thaumantic region in so that such unfortunate circumstances may be avoided in the future. Those five-thousand souls who depart us for the great unknown, the undiscovered country, shall be enshrined forever in our hearts. An obelisk shall be erected on the northern most shores of Dronning Ragnhild Land in their memory.

The Mazidian Dominion reiterates its long held Doctrine, oft violated, with regards to the latest Engellexic actions. We do not dispute your right to do with your embassy and its personnel as you wish. We hold that the First Republic is sovereign with regards to all matters concering the First Republic. We do not care if you bomb your own citizens.

But, we reiterate, that if, in the pursuit of this curiously proactive public health policy, the First Republic threatens the livelihood or property of any Mazidian citizen, be it so much as a lowly slaveborn or a high Mazincan, we will have no choice but to enact, as we have done so before at great injury to ourselves and to the First Republic, a total embargo on all Engellexic goods.

We urge the First Republic to consider carefully how it proceeds from here, if it should transpire that any further foreign citizenry are casualties or at risk of being casualties to these actions.

On Behalf of the other "first Republic", and after careful consideration within the House of Burghers and consulation with the Cantonal Governments, the Republic of Bergenheim has empowered me to instruct our counterparts in the First Republic that Bergenheim will maintain warm relations.

We welcome all things Engellish in the Mountain Republic, and while we are grieved that such violence was deemed necessary, we are conscious of the terrible effects disease can have in a confined space. We do not even require assurances that the First Republic would not do likewise. We know that it would not, could not.

We hope to continue relations with the Thaumantic Republic unhindered and untrammeled by the latest developments.

on behalf of the Republic of Bergenheim

DUCHESS OF KEW SPEAKS OUT
Former Chancellor Speaks Out Against the Escalated Crisis


Hammersmith, NoCRER - In an unprecedented move by the former Chancellor of the Engellexian Republic, and member of the Senate, Lady Rosamund Cavendish, Duchess of Kew, granted an exclusive but exceptionally short interview to the First Media Group this morning to add commentary, from within the Senate, on the Cannie-Engello Crisis which escalated dramatically in Vesper last week.

Speaking during a short break from business within the Senate respecting budget legislation, Senator Rosamund Cavendish expressed her, and others of the Senate though refusing to share any names, unreserved gratitude at the international scrutiny and condemnation against both the Engellexian Republic and Cantignia, branding the diplomatic relationship between the two nations as an utter embarrassment to the supremacy of the most progressed Civilization in Europe and a significant threat to the continued status of the First Republic within Europe.

The veteran of Republic politics further praised the diplomatic efforts of the international community, stating that while some have expressed a fear, and hold a reserved and guarded view of the Republic - I don't comment on anything resembling a threat - it cannot be ignored that there has been reasonable incredulity and sincere interest in understanding, and when that is engaged and respectfully harnessed, can be an incredibly constructive moment of international cooperation.

When questioned regarding the short notice and seeming urgency in the request for a short interview in Hammersmith, Senator Rosamund Cavendish appeared to be keen to assuage concerns regarding the opposition of the Engellexian Republic Parlement, especially in respect of accountability, saying that Parlement will be returning to the business of Vesper, where by our own laws, the members of the Senate and the Bare Commons will make the opportunity, by a prudent detour of scheduled legislation, to investigate and address what has happened in Vesper, Cantignia, from the very beginning of the crisis. The investigation is, to a degree, routine, but quite necessary I believe we can agree.

In her closing remarks, Senator Rosamund Cavendish criticized the of progress in replacing the diplomatic system that had this year been dismantled, suggesting that it may have played a part in the lack of engagement by the Engellexian Republic to the wider European concern.

EBC Broadcast Hijacked in Henrietta
Live News and Weather Programming Stormed by those with Political Message


Henrietta, SoCRER - A group of agitated citizens in Henrietta broke into the studios of the Erumpetine Broadcasting Company Mary-le-Bone, in Henrietta, and forced their way onto live programming of regional news and weather service in order to relay their political message, a plea for both forgiveness and reconciliation on behalf of all Henriettans, this evening. The interrupted broadcast lasted approximately six minutes before studio security officials detained and escorted them off the premises.

The hijacked broadcast opened with a very hasty speech of a woman who identified herself as Justine Green from Henrietta. She apologised to Cantignia and Europe for the shame the Republic has brought upon humanity when it acted against the embassy in Vesper, Cantignia. She begged free citizens throughout the First Republic to think about how broken the Republic truly is, urging a politics of humanity, all of humanity, and not just the pursuit of freedom and liberty.

Justine Green finished her speech by pleading for any capable power in the Republic - the Northern President, the Southern President, the Lord Protector, Parlement, anyone - to rescue the Republic and its citizens, arguing that the circumstances of the Cannie-Engello Crisis is a symptom of wider political disease. Many have already died during this social journey, we cannot stand for more of it. How can we?

Officials from the Erumpetine Broadcasting Company declined to comment on the situation. However, the First Media Group believe this incident is part of an emerging political stand that is being informally organised out of discontent and outrage, energised by the appetite of an all-consuming viral movement across society; the First Republic is particularly susceptible to social media trends and viral episodes, owing to the unique relationship it has with the internet socially, culturally, and economically.

Miley Cyrus' music, Nothing Breaks Like a Heart, has been shared just over six million times on Twatter, and has clocked almost two hundred million views on MeVube, it's been released for a matter of a few hours.

Lady Hillary Midler Resigns
Baroness Midler has Resigned Lady Governorship of Henrietta


Henrietta, SoCRER - The Government of the Constituent Republic of Mary-le-Bone has been left in disarray this evening after the Lady Governor of Henrietta, Lady Hillary Midler, Baroness Midler, resigned from her position in the wake of the Vesper Embassy outrage.

Her resignation comes hours after further outrages had been expressed publicly across the Engellexian Republic, but notably within Mary-le-Bone, regarding the decision to execute the security protocol in respect of the embassy in Vesper, killing over five-thousand people.

Lady Hillary Midler was inaugurated as the Lady Governor of Henrietta on May 22, 1991. A graduate of both the University of Henrietta and Imperial College Dulwich, she was nominated to the governorship on the retirement of Lord Richard Edams-Jeddar, who had served for five decades as Lord Governor of Henrietta.

After announcing her resignation to the Henriettan House of Burgesses, Lady Hillary Midler declared, in a statement read in front of the closed doors of the Governor Apartment rooms, that her sanctioning of the security protocol against the Lord & Lady Peace Estate Embassy in Vesper, Cantignia, had been intended solely to protect and preserve the safety and liberty of the Engellexian Republic and its people, and was necessary to ensure that the First Republic was adequately protected against further undermining by what enterprise had established itself over the Covenant of Cantignia. She concluded by reiterating that she would continue to serve the Republic by any means at her disposal, and would be returning to a position within local conventions as to secure nomination and subsequent election to the Engellexian Republic Senate.

16 Ningemes CXCIX | 1 December 2018​

To Whom It May Concern,

The Aurarian Universal Declaration of Natural Rights outlines the condition of mankind that shall supersede national laws and regulations to be seen as the privileges and virtues awarded to humanity due to the supremacy of the species. Highly regarded amongst these natural rights is the principle of any sovereignty residing in the people – with no body or individual having the power to exert authority that does not directly emulate from the people.

Kindred in that philosophy, the Engellish and Aurarian Peoples share and outlook on the world that is rarely seen elsewhere. While staunch differences of opinions, beliefs, faiths, and cultural practices divide our two peoples, what unites us is a powerful bond.

It is indeed due to that kindred spirit that the news of the horror that unfolded in Vesper strikes all the harder at the consciousness of the Aurarian people and our faith in higher purposes. Indeed, Chiefly among the natural rights of man is liberty, safety, resistance against oppression and that any political association should exist solely for the conservation of these rights. It is here where the Engellexic state violated the natural rights of man.

While the world, through its variety of political affiliations with the Engell state and the Thaumantic Domain at large determines what weight it will place on the lives of five thousand Cantignians and the significance – or lack thereof – of the actions that resulted in their lives being robbed of them, the Aurarian Republic shall only speak on the unprecedented tragedy that a nation that claims to be the beacon of liberty and civilization has fallen so far as to exert the same brutish, primitive force employed by the Ancient civilizations. The Engellexic Republic’s decision to allow might to overtake right is a reverberation of the same thought that has allowed Monarchs to rule over men and Fictionals to pillage heretics. It is the same thought that has destroyed liberty, not strengthened it.

This action comes as the newest in a history of choosing might over higher purpose. The power of the Engellexic State combined with its brutish nature, weakens and postpones the planet’s ability to move beyond and achieve a higher level of human civilization. There can be no pride taken in the strength of the Engellexic Navy while its citizens in Hammersmith go sick, hungry, and poor. Pride is not taken from how a society’s most affluent express their incognizance from the world, but by how the community collectivizes and ensures that neither affluence nor poverty exist, but that liberty and equality reign.

Whereas the Engellexic Republic has failed and stalled the progression of civilization, the Aurarian Republic will take steps to ensure humanity’s liberty, safety, and freedom is enshrined. In order to protect the inhabitants of the Aurarian State, the Republic is formally demanding that the Engellexic Embassy, and all diplomatic missions across the country, be shut down and evacuated until such a time that situations change. All formal diplomatic relations between our two states shall go through the Aurarian Embassy in Welmonton, Beautancus.

Today, we mourn the loss of five thousand innocent souls. Tomorrow, we immortalize them by working to ensure that no others should be condemned to suffer the same fate.

All the best,

Manuel Sanabria
President of the Republic

In JOINT COMMITTEE, December 1 2018
a LETTER of ADDRESS by the PARLIAMENTARIANS of the

ENGELLEXIAN REPUBLIC

In the ENGELLEXIAN REPUBLIC PARLEMENT ASSEMBLED the FOREIGN AFFAIRS JOINT COMMITTEE,

The Foreign Affairs Joint Committee has been persuaded to urgently make the following letter to Auraria.

Hammersmith is not sick, hungry, or poor. The East End of Dulwich endured, admittedly, an intolerably severe circumstance of pestilence in January of this very same year, where the Council of the Republic and the Engellexian Republic Parlement were understandably moved to allocate one-hundred-forty-four billion pounds of additional, specifically targeted, public estimations for the alleviation and prevention of that circumstance.

The Lord & Lady Peace Estates embassy in Vesper, Cantignia, was the most unfortunate development of modern diplomacy for the Engellexian Republic; the security protocol had never before been executed, do not misunderstand, it was undoubtedly tragic. However, our diplomatic estates were placed under siege by the Army and law enforcement of the Covenant of Cantignia, where in the course of that action thousands of sick and dying men, women, and children were forced on to the diplomatic estates; the embassy routinely accommodates several hundred people, not five thousands. The situation escalated in to the most horrendous public health event, not just of sickness, but also of mass death - from lack of health provisions but also of nourishment. It was a unique moment in the application of a type of biological warfare, undertaken by those who had been compromised by the tyrannical and ideologically delirious in Europe. More, the Covenant of Cantignia publicly announced intention to invade upon our sensitive, sovereign communications and security systems employed at the embassy.

The Lord & Lady Peace Estates were under siege, biologically contaminated, and their sovereignty outrageously violated. The flippancy of foreign governments, such as yourselves, to not acknowledge and recognize such actions, perpetrated against unarmed, unwilling free and neutral citizens, in the thousands, as itself an act of warfare, of the greatest perversion, certainly undermines any credibility, you may believe you hold, on any participation you do, as an informed and progressed civilization. A concern for not bearing any appearance to being 'brutish', in so far as to intentionally disregard the suffered and grossly suffering of your own citizenry- and even prolong it, at the hands of international tyrants, I hope, does not elude your democratically participating citizens.

The Aurarian Universal Declaration of Natural Rights is less a declaration, and more a soiled garment draped upon the sweltering heap of ignorance and servitude, not of any republic, but of Auraria, whatever Auraria may truly be.

The Engellexian Republic Parlement will make known its response to the diplomatic disengagement, by Auraria, and others.

signed on Order and on Behalf of the Foreign Affairs Joint Committee,

Lord Benjamin Boxer,
Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Joint Committee
