EMERGENCY EXTENSION OF THE E.F. MANDATE SYSTEM FOR THE ANTARCTIC REGION
- for the protection of nature, prevention of conflict, and permanence of sanctuary -
-designed by Anayansi Quintanilla Cuesta -

PREAMBLE
Recognizing
the noble ideals striven for by the E.F. Resolution for the Abolition of the E.F. Mandate System, namely the right of all peoples to self-determination, not merely as a nominal value, but as a substantive reality including the power to control their own society, economy, culture, and policy, both domestic and foreign;

Noting that the circumstances of the Antarctic Region are a particularly thorny exception to these ideals, in that the population of roughly five-hundred non-native people whose professions are primarily of scientists and researchers dedicated to the preservation of the Antarctic for the purposes of science and environmentalism;


Recognizing that near unanimity among representatives of the member states of the European Forum, transcending ideology and form of government, dedicated to the preservation and protection of the Antarctic from exploitation, extraction, and colonization by any single power cannot be ignored;

Stressing that by allowing this exception to be unresolved the door to the establishment of military bases, the construction of damaging mining operations for deep resource exploration and extraction, and territorial claims by both state and non-state actors is irreversibly opened, profoundly increasing the chances of international conflict and crisis at a time when Europe already struggles with such plagues of peace and harmony;

Further noting that the Mandate for the Antarctic Region is set to expire on the 1st of January in the year 2022 CE, thereby increasing the urgency of the adoption of an emergency resolution to sufficiently address this crisis in the making that has already seen a narrow evasion of conflict;

THE NATIONS OF EUROPE, assembled in a Forum through their duly empowered Delegates, do hereby decide, decree, and ordain as follows:

EMERGENCY EXTENSION OF THE MANDATE SYSTEM FOR THE ANTARCTIC TERRITORY

  • The territory currently constituted as the Antarctic European Forum Mandate ("EF Mandate of Antarctica" or "Mandate of Antarctica" or "Antarctic Mandate" or "Antarctica" or "the Antarctic") shall be exempt from the earlier resolution: ;
  • The Mandate of Antarctica shall hereby be extended indefinitely, to be formally abolished only following a subsequent resolution dedicated to establishing a unique and permanent solution to the Antarctic Question;
  • The nations of Europe, through their representatives to the European Forum, following the adoption of this emergency extension shall dedicate themselves to a focused on crafting this unique and permanent resolution to the Antarctic Mandate;
CONCLUSION
The Abolition of European Forum Mandates, while an overdue and noble effort by the European community to progress into the realities of the twenty-first century, has neglected to properly consider Antarctica in this effort. With resolve to avoid the artificial creation of further crisis and conflict among member states and thereby violating the express purpose of this Forum in preventing such crises from developing, the European Forum is determined to correct its oversight and protect the Antarctic from exploitation and abuse by powers, and ensure its mandate is properly replaced with a more permanent, effective, and stable arrangement suited to its unique circumstances.

The member states are invited to vote on the motion.

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

Honorable representatives,

Following a sufficient amount of time for representatives of member states of the European Forum to vote on the Emergency Extension of the Mandate System for the Antarctic Territory, San José considers this vote to be officially concluded, with five votes in favor of the European Forum adopting the Emergency Extension of the Mandate System for the Antarctic Territory, and no votes against. The resolution has achieved unanimity of 100% in favor, and as such it shall be legally adopted by the European Forum.

We request the Archivist of the European Forum record the results as they stand today for the archives of this venerable body.

I yield the floor.
