UN/Diplomacy Planning Thread

[soul_warrior]

the State of Israel will support our allies and old friends in the journey to become SG.
* Whompus Generalus for president

* ill be israel, or havent i been confirmed?

regarding LITERACY:

Spoiler literary solution. partial and preliminary :

* Israel concedes that literacy is a vast problem, and world wide.
people everywhere are suffering from lack of knowledge and an ability to read.

our suggestion for literacy is as follows.
* states shall invest within their OWN states.
** poor countries shall, if they request, get AID PACKAGES from wealthier countries, WILLING to donate.
*** said AID PACKAGES will be allocated by grant givers, but spent by the recieving country, WITH SUPERVISION by a UN COMMITTEE that shall reside locally.
it will have members of AT LEAST 3 UN MEMBER states.
preferably 5.

*** countries that are unable to afford a literary investment shall receive trade benefits to help kick start their economy.
membership of the W.T.O. would be a fine example and reward to a country willing to invest in its citizens.

* content of education shall be decided upon BY THE LOCAL GOVERMENT.
this is so the locals feel they are not manhandled into something they fear or do not control.

** criteria shall include:
NATIVE language skills
FORIEGN languages: these shall include ANY ONE of the 5 major languages.
*** major languages: English. Spanish. Mandarin. Sanskrit. Arabic.
*** other languages have been removed from the list as this need to have finite boundaries.

the UN shall have a vote on STANDARDS of LITERACY WHICH will be mandatory for receipt of aid.
(such as NO HATE TEACHINGS, A minimal science % of schooling, etc)

other fields of education shall be discussed later, as the actual content of the school curriculum may vary from region to region.

relevant links:
World Trade Organization
UNESCO - literacy protal

***
Israel will offer to send personnel to help educate the masses of any willing country. ON LOCATION, IN THE IMPROVISHED COUNTRY.
* sustenance of the teaching staff will be upon the host countries. (food, security, etc.) Israel shall pay the wages of said educators.

We will also hold seminars, IN ISRAEL, for a speedy education (1-2 semesters long).
students there shall be versed in a major language and shall recieve higher grade education.
subjects shall include: engineering and the sciences, history and poli-sci

* our ONLY condition is that we can teach some Jewish History.
that will include subjects such as: The Holocaust, Racism, Antisemitism, General history of the land of Israel.

An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. --Winston Churchill
We will not stand for acts of terror.

You may want to ask our ambassador from North Korea why he changed his vote based on our recent dialogue.

We are for free trade and open markets.

May I ask the fine gentleman from Russia his stance on the same topics?
Whomp of the USA

Of course. We in Russia believe strongly that the reaction to terror is to respond harshly. We support any nation who, by little or no fault of their own, fights terrorists.

On the issue of selling arms and munitions... I understand that this may be a delicate situation. However, I must hold true to our beliefs. War is devastating. War is much more devastating than any dictator currently ruling. The Americans have shown their eagerness to topple regimes. This causes chaos and ultimately many more civilians die from war than even the worst dictator. So, regretfully, we support arming these nations to caution the US and any other neo-conservative nations from interfering in other sovereign nation's actions and resulting in more death and suffering. In no way am is Russia accusing you, the ambassador, and we do not seek conflict. We just believe that the little nations should have assurances of safety and that life under dictatorship is better than death under democracy.

Russia agrees whole-heartedly with you in respect to free-trade. In addition, we believe that nations such as China who do not obey the international laws on tariffs should be punished in some way as to make it more profitable for them to obey the law.

In order to be fair, I'll ask your opponent, the representative of Norway, the same questions.

[scipian]

N Korean Representative, Old Spice-

I had decided to vote for the American nominee. However, I have some second thoughts on the issue of American imperialism and the allowing of arms and munitions sales. Would you mind telling us the reason for switching your vote?

-RUSSIA

 

[scipian]

I had decided to vote for your American opponent. However, I realize that you may represent our interests more. So, I shall ask your your policy on the following issues important to Russia.

What is your policy on enabling such countries as Israel, Spain, and Russia to attack the terrorists within?

What is your policy on allowing nations to sell arms and munitions to rogue or dangerous nations?

What is your policy on tariffs?

If your policies are not concreted yet, have no qualms about telling me so.

[Sidhe]

As my country is not a member of the UN, I am going to assume that I only have rights to speak when invited by the Secretary General or by other countries via the Secretary General.

So Ill remain silent untill someone asks me to contribute to a debate which may have relevance, of course I have no right to vote on any decisions also.

I may request to speak on behalf of Palestine, but this may be denied.

 

[soul_warrior]

can i suggest someone pick the arab states?
something along the OPEC lines?

iran and philistine are taken, maybe a moderate arab voice is in order?

Israel is willing to hear and debate with Palestinian Officials.

we only ask that they OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE Israel.

talks can proceed later.

I think that's a good idea as Iran is not solely Arab and has it's own agenda? Perhaps Morroco? Or Ideally Bangladesh as they have a good peace record.

OPEC Lines? There arent any moderates there are their

Obviously Saudi Arabia would fit, but to be honest the only thing that makes them moderate is they have strong diplomatic ties with the US, their system of government certainly isn't what I'd call moderate.

 

[ArneHD]

Dear Scipian, Russian representative to the UN.

I had decided to vote for your American opponent. However, I realize that you may represent our interests more. So, I shall ask your your policy on the following issues important to Russia.

I shall answer your questions as best I can, although some members of my government might disagree, these are our official lines.

What is your policy on enabling such countries as Israel, Spain, and Russia to attack the terrorists within?

Depending on your definition on "within" we do not have any problem with police actions against suspected terrorists, given that proper protocals are followed and that the suspects are given a fair trial. Norway also condem any use of torture in such cases, although we are not implying that Russia has used such techneques. As far as I know there have not been any aligations, or even rumors, against Russia of such actions.

What is your policy on allowing nations to sell arms and munitions to rogue or dangerous nations?

We are aware of the substancial Russian arms export industry, paticulary of the popular Avtomat Kalashnikova series of rifles. Norway does take a stand against the export of unethical weapons, such as landmines and clusterbombs. Beyond that the Norwegian government does not have a stand on this issue as far as I know.

What is your policy on tariffs?

Norway has joined the European Economical Area, and through this action take a stand against tariffs.

If your policies are not concreted yet, have no qualms about telling me so.

-RUSSIA

I have answerd as far as I am able to your questions, and I hope that the answers have been satisfactory.

To our honored ambassador from Russia: On the dialogue we had with the ambassador from North Korea our strong message was to halt all missle sales and their nuclear ambitions. If this is done we will recognize their country. Quite simple, really.

On a sidenote: My only concern with allowing votes to Palestine is there seems to be a lot of interest in posing as US opposition. No surprise but we may need some countries like Spain, Germany, NZ, Japan and Australia to balance things out.

Norwegian Diplomat, ArneHD

Thank you very much for answering promptly. I applaud the fact that you do not condemn us (as far as you know) for our arms dealing. We are pleased that you look favorably upon our fight against the rebels in Chechnya. As far as I know, we keep within reasonable boundaries of response. I will think some more about my decision but greatly appreciate the fact that you do not criticize us for our arms dealing.

BTW-I apologize for not addressing my questions to you. I intended to but forgot.

Israel is dominating the Middle East, and opressing our Arab brothers eith their unchecked Zionist imperialism. Not to recognsie Palestine is a crime of the highest magnitude from a country which has only recently begun to exist.

On the matter of missile sales, are you referring to N Korea selling to others or Russia selling to N Korea? If it is the former, we really don't care at all. We only care about the latter issue. Also, although my advisers are currently away, I believe that the nuclear ambitions of N Korea would only serve to strengthen regional hostilities while the Koreans have more than enough conventional capability to prevent a hostile war against them.

[Whomp]

North Korea is selling missle technology to Iran and has practiced over our friend, Japan. This is a grave concern to us and must stop.

Dear Scipian, Russian representative to the UN.

While we do not object to the war ITSELF, some of the actions taken by both sides in the conflict have been acused of actions in violation of the international humanitarian law. This means that Norway's official stance towards the Chechen war IN PATICULAR is critical of both sides in the conflict, including the Russian handling of the war.

Norway is in paticular concerned the tactics emplyed by the Russian side against civilians, although we also condem the use of terrorist actions by the Checen rebels.

Signed Arne H D, Norwegian UN representative.

 

[scipian]

Iranian Diplomat, nonconformist.

Russia has constantly supported Iran in arms, aid, and diplomatic support in light of your nuclear activities. We also strongly support the creation of a Palestinian state. However, it is important to realize that compromise must be made. Just don't exterminate them for a while, okay? The Zionists have some rights too and it would make our difficult position much tenable if you might be able to convince your president, Mr. Ahmadinejad, to tone down the speeches some.

-RUSSIA

We agree. It is a concern to you and your allies and we will aid you as much as we can.

I presume that you have received further instruction from your government. I have noted your new position and will confer with my advisers.

A note: My president has declared, "We are witnessing an almost uncontained hyper use of force in international relations ... the United States has overstepped its national borders in every way," said Putin at a high-profile security conference in southern German city of Munich.

"The legitimate use of force can only be done by the United Nations, which cannot be replaced by EU or NATO,".

Still though, I have grown tired of debate (and I've got a paper due Monday ) so I've decided to break with my president and vote conclusively for the American representative, Whomp.

Islamic Republic of Iran
TO: Scipian of the Russian Federation:
Iran is most grateful for the Russian help, especially towards its peaceful nuclear power project.

We must, however, point out, and inded protest some of your words:
Iran has never, on any occasion expressed the wish to "exterminate" (as you put it) Israelis, or Jews.
What we have said is we think it would be better if there were no Zionist regime in the Middle East, and certainly not one controlling Jerusalem.


TO: Whomp of the United States:

Iran does not have friendly relations with North Korea, and Iran certainly does not require North Korean technology, specifically missile technology. Iran is azn open state, and is much more advanced than North Korea; their missiles are but fireworks compared to our home-bred MIRVs.


(Out of character, can we all head our In Character posts in some form of very visible signature of nationality, suchn as bold, like I'm doing? It makes it easier to find relevant posts )

 

[Whomp]

Just to make it clear to our honored Ambassadors.

Our allies have gathered considerable knowledge on the relationship beween N. Korea and Iran.

The North Koreans have a nuclear-capable missle Taepodong-II, which is "potentially" capable of reaching parts of the United States with a nuclear-weapon-sized payload" could be ready for flight testing at anytime.

This government has succeeded recently in shipping "ballistic missile-related equipment, components, materials, and technical expertise to the Middle East, South Asia, and North Africa. While Iran and Pakistan remain top customers we are also concerned about their sales to countries like Myanmar and Nigeria.

The most notorious missile exporter, the Changgwang Sinyong Corporation, has for the fifth time since 2000 violated the Iran Nonproliferation Act, which forbids missile-related sales by foreign companies to Iran. The sanctions make it clear that the missile trade still flourishes between Tehran and Pyongyang.

We have it on good information that Iran may have given North Korea telemetry and other missile test data in exchange for engineering help on Iranian missile tests.

Islamic Republic of Iran
We fail to see the problem with sharing knowledge with each other, seeing as your influence has barred most nations from trading with us, and is limiting capitalism, we must turn to those who will. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Consider it a similar arrangement to your involvement with the Israeli army.
