Lethonian Protocols

Noting the weapons program that has been aggressively launched in the days since the ending of the Pannonian Crisis. The systems and capabilities further being brought online with capability and intent to target and create mass casualties amongst civilian populations.

Noting the complex and illustrious biological research and development centers of private and government controlled sectors in conjunction with the large scale deployment and manufacturing of long range ballistic missiles poses one of the greatest threats of destabilizing peace as well as a threat against humanity.

Noting the Chagny Treaty signed by the active participants following the military action by the Holy Frankish Empire which called for a plebiscite amongst the citizens of Bourdignie and agreement to respect the wishes of the plebiscite by all parties. The lack of any sign of a military drawdown in Bourdignie and efforts by the Lethonia-Thuringau violating the Chagny Treaty, as well as the wishes and desires of the Bourdignie population calling for the withdrawal of said forces.

Acting in accordance with the desire to maintain peace and stability not just in Gallo Germania but also around the world and the designed framework of the European Forum to attempt and prevent conflict between nations.

1. Calls upon the creation of a peace keeping force of five thousand men to be composed of no more than a thousand men from each contributing nation. Aiding the framework of this plan to ensure the interest of the aggrieved parties a thousand of these will be provided by the Holy Frankish Empire and the Empire of Tarusa.

2. Demands that inspectors from the nations of the EF or a body created by the EF be granted unlimited access to the biological research and development centers of Lethonia to monitor activity within these facilities to ensure all research is aimed at peaceful means and not weaponized.

3. Demands that inspectors from the nations of the EF or a body created by the EF be granted access to production facilities designated as producing or capable of producing ballistic weapons.

4. Requires that the manufacture of ballistic weaponry with a range in excess of 600km be ceased and all currently produced be dismantled with oversight from the EF.

5. Demands the immediate withdrawal of Lethonia-Thuringau armed forces from legal boundaries of the nation of Bourdignie upon the arrival of the first EF white helmet forces.


Noting the difficulty in the European Forum in the enforcement of previous resolutions and the potential repercussions on a global scale for catastrophe from failure of this initiative the following provisions shall be carried out in accordance for failure to follow any of the provisions of this resolution.

1. Requires states to cease the supply, sale, or transfer of military hardware or components that may be used in the production of military hardware in accordance with this resolution by either the Thuringau or Lethonian nations of ScanLaw.

2. Expects states to apply pressure to follow the protocols in the interest of peace by means of economic sanctions targeting banking institutions and assets of high level government and business officials in accordance with this resolution if failure to comply by the Lethonian or Thuringau nations of ScanLaw

Antonios Antoniou, Pelasgian Delegate to the EF:

"Whereas we support the proposed resolution in principle, we would like to draw the attention of all parties to items 2-4. To our understanding, such measures were never supported by a majority of EF members in the recent meeting held regarding Lethonian occupation for Bourdignie. Indeed, they appear to have been inserted into an otherwise uncontroversial document by the Tarusan delegation for no apparent reason.

"Having long possessed strategic weapons, Pelasgia wholeheartedly rejects any attempt to subject a sovereign state's military capabilities and armaments to foreign oversight, control, inspection, or dismantlement, particularly with the threat of sanctions. Therefore, we will only support the Tarusan proposal if this language is rejected.

"We are prepared to table a counter-proposal excluding the impugned provisions, if other members are in accordance."​

The Empire of Tarusa votes in Favor of this resolution.

We disagree with the Pelasgian delegate in that the majority of the members of this organization have shown a great distaste for weapons of mass destruction and the only way to properly ensure that the resolution is upheld is by continued monitoring. This is the worlds chance to take a stand against these types of weapons and begin paving the path towards an international treaty for nations to sign.


((I'll leave the resolution open until monday morning/afternoon. I'll add a poll to satisfy jose))

Sebastian Whitaker, Natalian Representative to the EF

"The Constitutional State does not support the adding of penalties directly into this Protocol, something that was never discussed nor has it ever been mentioned before. All such penalties for not opening up or respecting it, should be discussed only if it is not accepted and should be decided in the aftermath as a consequence, not in the beginning.

At the same time, before being attacked for being hypocritical, something that some members here love to do and repeat again and again, we criticise the existence of point 4. We support the dismantling of WMDs especially if they can be used to target civilians, but dismantling of production capabilities of rockets that have a range of 600 km is a completely different element, as this fully aids solely Tarusa, thanks to its sheer size.

So we will not accept the fact that while Tarusa presents itself now as a defender of human rights, when it also wants to create a handicap for Gallo-Germanian nations, in their defence capabilities. ICBMs can be used as conventional rockets to high faraway targets, and that doesn't mean they exist solely for war crimes, yet if we limit them to rockets of 600km range, it will give Tarusa easy chances to bomb the main centres of power in Lethonia, while also keeping all of this assets too far away for a response.

So yes, before we are condemned for this, we stand for peace, and we stand for excluding weapons that can hurt and target civilians, but we will never be okay with actively creating such a handicap to any nation that wants to defend itself. Hence, the Constitutional State of Natal votes against this resolution."

Yet we were the ones claimed to be seeking to avoid a solution, no, no it just shows that the European Forum will continue to be a mockery of its intentions. Statements such as Sebastions which say that provisions for a failure to comply with the resolution should be something to be later adopted. No, the consequences for failure to comply must be made clear immediately to have force and meaning. Failure here, will only further solidify that fact that the European Forum is just another failure for those who wish to talk, but do not actually have the balls for action. This is why the European Forum will forever be a failure at the maintenance of peace.

Santiago Vidaurri: Gran-Occidentian representative to the EF

The People's State of Gran-Occidentia votes against this resolution. We do not believe that the occupation of Lethonia under the banner of the European Forum would be nothing but a new face on the old Forum Mandates which have proven time and time again to be a failure. Also it is ludicrous to attack a tiny nation still in its infancy for daring to arm itself in defence of its citizenry.

Tao Shun, Ambassador of the Republic of Tianlong, acting EF representative.

"The Republic of Tianlong is surprised to see that its trust has been trampled on. We will never be able to support such an agreement. As anticipated by other colleagues, many points here have not only never been discussed, but are also clearly made to hinder the nation in question. Using the European Forum as an instrument of political and economic threat to consolidate one's possession in the European heart is a devious act that we do not approve. Therefore, we are voting against this resolution.

Nonetheless, the Republic fears that international missile carriers may be misused by rogue states. Also observing the exploited use that some make of the European Forum to promote their foreign policy, Tianlong will accelerate the enhancement of its missile shield and its missile defense capability, enhancing the program, Celestial Shield. This program can be expanded to friendly countries, who like us share the concern in these stormy times."

Anayansi Quintanilla Cuesta, Representative of San José to the European Forum:

We have little more to add that has not already been stated so clearly and correctly by Representative Antoniou of Pelasiga, Representative Sebastian Whitaker of Natal, Representative Santiago Vidaurri of Gran-Occidentuia, and Representative Tao Shun of Tianlong.

All that can really be added is this: we will not be manipulated or deceived by the Tarusan Representative into allowing them to use the European Forum as an arm of its foreign policy and aggressive military ventures into neutering Gallo-Germania and assuring Tarusan dominance over its neighbors. Their fraudulence ends here.

We therefore vote Against this resolution, and encourage the Honorable Representative Antoniou to work with other dissenting Representatives in tabling a counter-proposal that both resolves our fears of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and facilitates Lethonian withdrawal from Bourdignie, without any provision for imperialist occupation under hostile powers towards the Scanlaw in the name of the European Forum.

I yield the floor.

"After having studied the resolution and heard the arguments put forward by our colleagues from Pelasgia, Natal, San José, Tianlong and Gran Occidentia, I have no other option than voting against this resolution on behalf of the Rheinbund."
