The Japanese delegate feels that the resolution will put a quick end to the conflict and hopefully calm tensions between the UIR and the ultra-nationalists.
If the resolution is passed, Japan can dispatch a temporary peace-keeping force (2 Transport Helicopters with Elite Pilots and either 2 Elite L. Infantry Brigades or 2 Elite Parachute Brigades) to help prevent another major terrorist attack until a long-term peacekeeping force (like the French Legion) can be organized and dispatched.

China makes a statement.
"We have two things to say.
1. We will lift our veto on the peackeeping mission on the condition that no European Economic Community (EEC) or Treaty of Daresaalam (ToD) forces are involved in any UN peacekeeping efforts between the UIR and India. This is due to a conflict of interest, given that the UIR is now a member of the ToD and the EEC favors the UIR over India. For a true peacekeeping mission, it must be made up of forces that are entirely neutral towards BOTH the UIR and India, otherwise effective peacekeeping won't occur with ToD or EEC favoritism.
2. China will also lift our veto if fully netural plebsicites are held in all the disputed territories in this UIR-India conflict. Again, for the veto to be lifted, EEC and ToD nations cannot participate in observing or operating of the plebiscites owing to possible favoritism and even vote fixing in favor of EEC and ToD interests.
That is all we have to say on this issue right now."

As a clarification, all security in the disputed areas shall be handed over to UN forces, including at Police and Paramilitary level.

We have come to an understanding that drawstrings for the return of peace to the UIR and India are coming through, We understand the desire for neutral plebicites, We also understand that this crisis was between India and the UIR.
What we do not understand is why does China should retain its veto powers, let alone its membership in this body at all.
On a certain day which shall live in infamy, the nation of China suddenly and deliberatly participated against the United Islamic Republic, not only did they kick an ally who was down, they kicked and spat in the face of an ally that had sticked by them in their time of need and dispatched major amounts of food and supplies to help ease their suffering. They attacked those who they swore on the most solumn of oaths to protect and even worse they were trusted with the highest honour to keep the peace which too has been betrayed. Instead the Chinese government decided to enroll itself in Belligerent actions which have costed thousands of lives already.
We move to recommened to the security council to strip the Chinese from their permanant seat -which would go to its predecessor Japan- and review their membership in the United Nations in general.
As for Quebec's proposed plan of action we support it entirely and hope the UN would see the wisdom in removing China's veto powers before they eliminate any chance of peace.

China counters the French statement.
"We have stated we will support the peacekeeping mission and the plebisicites within the UIR and even East Bengal as long as the peacekeeping missions and plebisictes are not manned or administered by EEC and ToD members and no ToD / EEC involvement in any way whatsoever.
This is because the UIR is essentially a member and allied to the EEC and ToD, which effectively destroys any credibility of neutrality and impartiality by the EEC and ToD in the matter. EEC and ToD favoritism in the peacekeepering and plebiscites will be obviously far more pro-UIR than pro-India which is counter-productive to the crisis. It is supposed to be equal preference between both sides of the conflict, hence the aforementioned neturality necessary for total unbiased resolution of the crisis. It will only worsen the situation otherwise with blatant and biased favoritism of one side.
China desires to see purely neutral parties involved who will not engage in any favoritism that may occur. Candidates may include Brazil, FNS, or perhaps even the North American Alliance if deemed necessary."

France announces that it is now guranteeing the neutrality and independance of Kashgaria, Nepal and Bhutan.
After some deliberation, China is considering reducing the limit on EEC peacekeepers and plebiscite observers to just France and Germany, meaning these two EEC and ToD nations will not be allowed to participate in either effort in the UIR-India conflict. China is also considering whether to veto UK troops and officials, or just limit the veto to any French and German troops and officials.
In other words, any EEC or ToD nation may send troops and officials except Germany, France, and possibly the UK (still under IC debate) considering all three nations are major parts of the EEC and ToD.
In addition, China makes it clear that China itself will not be sending troops or officials to the conflict because of the need to maintain neutrality in the peacekeeping and plebsicite efforts.
China counters the UIR and French demands.
"We will not bow to European demands in Asian affairs. Would the Europeans like it if China demands Europe not to do something within Europe? Doubtful."
Rumania points out that by forcing Germany and France out of a peacekeeping role, the effectiveness of the force will be greatly reduced. Germany and France have two of the most modern and effective militaries, and are able to commit more troops then other countries on the continent.

China points out that France is an ally of the UIR, which throws French "neutrality" into question during the peacekeeping and plebisicte missions. Germany is the leader and spearheads the ToD alliance, of which the UIR is a member of, so Germany's neutrality cannot be guanatreed either.

The Chinese diplomat walks back into the UN conference room with a solemn look on his face.
"It has come to my attention that evidence of Kashgarian atrocities aganist Chinese refugees have surfaced in more detail."
He proceeds to put on display pictures and videos of various Kashgarian atrocities committed aganist the refugees. Several pictures demostrate Chinese refugees whose faces were nearly unrecongizable from severe beatings, while some others show Chinese children hung upside down covered in whip-caused wounds with laughing Kashgarians in the background. Several videos demostrate Kashgarian mobs chasing Chinese refugees who were only begging for food or basic living necessities. Several interviews show badly beat women describing Kashgarian rapes through sobs and pure emotion. Other pieces of video and photographs highlight various other atrocities ranging from more beatings to actual hangings and even scenes where Kashgarian police stood by idly while fellow Kashgarians ruthlessly attacked innocent Chinese refugees. An even more disturbing video shows Kashgarians whipping Chinese refugees in chains in what resembled a labor gang. Pictures show mass graves with at least fifty Chinese refugees packed in like sardines. Yet some more pictures detail young Chinese girls with mauled clothing and doctors with indifferent expressions.
The Chinese diplomat swallowed and exhibited quite grave concern on his face with underlying tones of cold rage.
"This is why China is forced to take action aganist Kashgaria. The Kashgarians have treated the Chinese horribly, not once but twice. They committed genocide aganist the Chinese in the 1930's under the support of the former Soviet Union, and their attitudes have not changed that much even today. When the 1964 Holocaust occurred, the Kashgarians took in Chinese refugees, and then committed atrocities upon them not limited to rape, beatings, hangings, genocide, and even as far as enslaving the refugees.
We have tried to leave the memories of the 1930's genocides behind, and try to give Kashgaria a chance to stand on its own. However, its people still end up committing these atrocities aganist Chinese even though we respected their independence for nearly 40 years. The evidence grows month by month, and the Chinese people demand action. Therefore, China must act before more Chinese refugees are killed, maimed, or ruined.
What bothers China the most is the UIR, a Chinese ally, was allied to this despicable nation of Kashgaria and did not do anything about it, nor pressured Kashgaria to stop the genocides and atrocities as far as several years ago. I cannot comprehend why the UIR would willingly support a nation that commits these acts upon civilians of one of its other allies.
I grow more and more furious every time I watch these pictures and videos, at the sheer atrocity and the evil that the Kashgarians are doing unto the Chinese refugees who thought they were gaining sancutary in Kashgaria from the Holocaust. What do they find? Murder! Rape! Mobs! Genocide! This cannot be allowed to stand.
The Chinese people demand the Kashgarians are brought to justice for their crimes. And the Chinese government listens to the will of its people, and the deed shall be done."
The ambassador makes a visible effort to calm down, in a herculean effort in controlling his emotions.

Britain votes for the suspension of Chinese rights in the UN.
However it feels that some permenant membership on the security council is vital so that it represents the nations best able to make decisions with regards to military action on behalf of the UN. Imagine a hypothetical situation whereby Quebec, Rwanda, Nepal, Andorra, Indonesia and other such nations hold the rotating security council seats, would the world be happy for them to make the most important decisions in the organisation?
Instead Britain proposes that the security council experiences several reforms with the membership representing the nations holding most military power and experience becoming members and that a periodic reform is held every 5 or 10 years to ensure that the most suitable candidates are always at the helm of the UN peacekeeping system.

You are proposing that the most militarily powerful nations sit on the seats? That's not reform, that's turning the Security Council from an oligarchy to a Dictatorship. How is that any different than those countries simply using military might to force the other countries to do what they want? I'd rather have Quebec, Rwanda, Nepal, Andorra, and Indonesia on a permanent council than that dark idea. If we'd have that rule, the Soviet Union would have had much more power than it did.

China points out that the UN resolution calling for abolition of veto power will put nations on different continents or half-a-world away at the mercy of politics of alliance blocs. This is outlined in several points.
1. If the veto abolition passes, there can be no stopping the ToD from simply "majority voting" UN resolutions that are beneficial to the ToD only like "UN Resolution to allow ToD Nations to station military in all nations", or voting on a pile of UN resolutions that will negatively impact Asia or any targets of ToD dislike like "UN Resolution to Lower ToD Tariffs and Increase Tariffs on non-ToD nations". In other words, the ToD can simply pass votes on all UN resolutions to whichever the ToD prefers, which effectively destroys the UN as a global body.
2. It shouldn't be allowed for nations in Europe and Africa to combine up (ToD) and pass their votes upon American nations, Australia, Oceania nations, or Asia nations and these non-ToD nations can't do anything about it in the UN because they would lack the 50% majority to do so. Again, this will destroy the function of the UN as a truly global organization as it will end up becoming a ToD puppet.
3. China may be inclined to support the dissolution of veto power only if a resolution is made to amend the amount of votes needed to pass a UN resolution to 75% majority instead of just 50%.
4. To check the ability of major alliance blocs from controlling the UN, the veto power needs to stay in place (albeit with a 2/3'rds overriding ability) to allow nations not part of "major alliance blocs" a voice able to equal the major alliance blocs. Otherwise there will be no point to the UN anymore as it will essentially become a puppet or an "arm" of the alliance bloc (like the ToD).
5. An alternative would be to grant major alliance blocs only one vote, as if they were a nation into themselves. This shall still allow for non-allied nations to have their say and equality in the UN instead of being strong-armed.
6. If veto power manages to be abolished, China shall withdraw from the UN because by then, the UN will only be a ToD puppet and measures that the ToD doesn't like will never take effect. The ToD will attempt to impose their will on non-ToD nations in the UN, which must not be allowed. By withdrawing from the UN, China will not be obliged or be forced to obey the wishes of the ToD and the puppet-string pulling.

OOC:
We don't exactly have Adobe Photoshop or these fancy computer generated graphics yet in E20, so these photos and videos are authentic as far as anyone knows.
Besides, Germany doesn't have to worry about ousting China because China will leave the UN of its own accord should the veto resolution pass because by then the UN will be a puppet of the ToD, and China refuses to submit to ToD policies or directives in the non-veto ToD controlled UN.

Later the French representative meets secretly with the Indian representative indicating that war is out of French best interests and should the UIR be the aggressor then the Republic of France shall not support them and even halt all aid.
It is noted however that France already has a airbase in the Region, but it hopes that this shall not be a major nuisance as they pledge they will keep to themselves unless nessecery to act.
With the Chinese threat of veto withdrawn completely, the resolution should easily pass, and both peacekeeping and plebisicites should proceed without any problems (from China at least).
China changes its votes for the peacekeeping mission to "Aye!"
China changes its votes for the UN sponsored Plebiscites to "Aye!"

With this matter handled, The Republic of France calls a much more serious issue to the United Nations; The Invasion of the soverign Nation of Kashgaria by the Chinese over dubious claims of Human rights abuse.
We present a Reolution condemning Chinese unilateral action without resoritng to Diplomacy or the United Nations thus violating articles of Chapter VI and VII of the United Nations Charter.
We recommened that China withdraws from Kashgaria IMMEDIATLEY to pre-determined internationally set borders, Pending this a UN Fact Finding mission shall be dispatched to look into dubious Chinese claims which only came to light after an extensive military build up in preperation to this action.
Upon Chinese failure to do this, we demand that sanctions be placed on them and that Millitary action be taken as this is not only a violation of the soverignty of an internationally recognised nation, as you know the UIR and France have publically guranteed the independance of Kashgaria and such have a legal Cause for conflict with China.
We come to the UN in hopes of resolving this matter, however if suitable action is not undertaken then we threaten military action should the Nation not withdraw.

Later the French representative meets secretly with the Indian representative indicating that war is out of French best interests and should the UIR be the aggressor then the Republic of France shall not support them and even halt all aid.
During the secret meeting the Indian UN Ambassador, a senior female Vanara Sena Party member, angrily reproaches France for its “failure to keep its Muslim dog on a tight lease,” making it very clear she considers the French Government ultimately at fault for the conflict.
“The French government is at fault for the situation in that it allowed the UIR to swallow Pakistan without a vote, violating the Pakistani and Sikh people’s right to self determination. The French Government allowed the UIR to take on an aggressive posture in regards to the newly independent Indian Republic, allowed it to make veiled threats, allowed it to diplomatically challenge India’s territorial integrity. France opposed the UN Pakistan-Kashmir-Indian Border Resolution and has attempted its repeal, actions that would, if successful, have undermined India’s national security and territorial integrity. France has also allowed the UIR to smuggle weapons to rebels in East Bengal and Burma, destabilizing Southwest and Southeast Asia, showing that your Government was either directly working with the UIR to harm our interests or completely ignorant, we will assume you were all ignorant.”
The Indian Ambassador privately admits that Indian Intelligence funded, trained, and supplied the Pakistani and Afghan rebels, but that it did so purely in self defense.
“India wishes to live in peace with its neighbors, India has no imperial ambitions, India does not oppose European influence in Central Asia or the EEC, however India cannot accept hostile states such as the United Islamic Republic being allowed to hold a knife to its throat, cannot accept hostility being directed against it, cannot accept its sovereign territory being subverted. We have a right to defend ourselves by any means necessary, defend our nation before it is too late to act. India was not attacking the EEC, India was defending itself from UIR aggression.”
It is noted however that France already has a airbase in the Region, but it hopes that this shall not be a major nuisance as they pledge they will keep to themselves unless nessecery to act.
“India will be watching that base and it should not be a nuisance provided the French troops within do not stir from it.”
The Ambassador’s parting words are “India will play by the rules, but France has a responsibility to maintain stability in its areas of influence.”
OOC: Consider it a complement of sorts, given Frances condition in the 40s, beaten, disarmed, its economy in tatters, its European territory reduced, its colonial empire utterly gone; to be considered at fault for failing to maintain stability in an obscure part of the world is to be considered of great stature, which shows how far France has come since the start of the Fourth Republic. No doubt the French elite, with the exception of the President, the government (who will likely experience a fall in public support), and the Foreign Minister (who will likely be sacked by the government for incompetence), are quite pleased at this.

Alright updating what I wrote. Alrighty.
Ohhhh just about every resolution has had someone in the security council try to veto it.
Here's the updated version.
For: UIR, France, Germany, UIP, Indochina, Arab Federation, Rumania, Japan
Against: Great Britain, South Africa, India, Nigeria, The Netherlands
OOC NOTE: For any reform to the Security Council, the Charter must be changed. Thus, according to the UN Charter, it must be approved by not only the General Assembly, but the Security Council as a whole. This means not only a majority (or perhaps 2/3, cant remember off the top of my head) must approve the change in the General assembly, but at least 4 elected (rotating) members and ALL 5 PERMANENT MEMBERS MUST VOTE IN FAVOR. This is why they haven't made any changes in RL. With "nay" votes from Great Britain and South Africa, this resolution would fail.
Any reform you try to achieve must be more moderate, and take into account the needs of the Permanent 5 members, or it will fail. The Permanent 5 were designed to provide a counter-balance, so even if the US got enough nations on the security council for a "re-unify Germany" resolution, it would be stopped, and prevent "tyranny by majority" in general. The G-77 (a collection of 3rd-world countries) and NAM (non-aligned movement) have historically been speedbumps to progress in the general assembly, voting against resolutions sometimes solely due to who proposed them.
The reform option most likely to be passed is an override process, where X% of the general assembly can override a UNSC veto. However, the UN general assembly is usually only in session from September-December, and unless the General Assembly also votes to quadruple its amount of work, that won't work very well.
Also, might I propose we create 2 UN threads. One for the General Assembly, where every nation may post, and resolutions are non-binding. The other would be for the UN Security Council, and only the current UN security council members (which really needs to be done regularly, perhaps through a UN mod?), mods controlling NPC action, and nations specifically invited to discuss a topic may post. The resolutions here are binding, and may be vetoed (as of now).
<snip.>
Thank you for that enlightenment. I agree that two threads is a good idea, so that there's some clear delineation between UNSC and UNGA matters. I'll volunteer for UN mod, since I'm not really doing economics anymore.

Britain votes for the French security council resolution to stop the Chinese occupation of Kashgaria.
Britain also notes that it is willing to compromise on its veto powers in the Security Council, perhaps a 2/3rds majority in the council overuling a veto decision? Thereby ensuring that too much power does not lie with the permenant members.
South Africa supports Britain's proposal of a 2/3 majority override of Security Council vetos.

Germany points out that it isn't so much the veto power, as who claims it.
At this point, the "victors" of World War Three hold the veto power as they were the obvious most powerful nations. Now, 25 years later, events have unfolded to where the balance of Power certainly is not the same. There IS no more United States and China has become unstable and a paraiah.
Thus, Germany feels that on top of the proposed "veto" elimination, Security Council membership should perhaps be reformed to include more nations that have taken a much more prominent role in World Politics.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the meetings are dismissed, a reporter questions the German Ambassador: "Sir! If you could reform the Security Council, how would you do it?"
His reply was simple: "I would have seven Permanent and 14 rotating. The seven would be Columbia, Britain, Germany, Russia, South Africa, FNS and Australasia or Huron."
Parthini']His reply was simple: "I would have seven Permanent and 14 rotating. The seven would be Columbia, Britain, Germany, Russia, South Africa, FNS and Australasia or Huron."
The Japanese representitive speaks up:
"How about an Asian country get's at least one seat considering Asia is the largest continent on Earth with the largest population on Earth? And don't even say Russia is an Asian country. How about a country from each continent (excluding Antarctica) gets one seat and then a commonwealth representitive (most likely Britain). How about:
Columbia (North America)
Germany/France/Russia (Europe)
FNS/Brazil (South America)
S.Africa (Africa)
Asian Country (We'll have to see how the S.Asian War turns out)
Australasia (Pacific)
Britain (Commonwealth) or another Asian country
These seven seats helps balance out the major alliances and doesn't favor Europe.
[NS]Parthini
12-08-2006, 21:13
The German Representative merely remarks that he was stating his preference.
He also remarks that most of Russia is in Asia, and that Australasia could be considered to be a part of Asia (hence the Asia).
Lastly, he remarks that China was a member of the SC, but has recently proved itself to be incapable of even retaining UN membership, and that India, the obvious next-in-line, as well as the UIR have proven themselves undesiring of peace and justice.
All the nations presented have shown their willingness to strive for peace and justice and the adhering of the UN charter, something which Asia, at the moment, strongly lacks.
Perhaps in 10 years, Asia will have changed its hostile stance, and further reform can take place. As a matter of fact, Germany suggests that every 10 years, the Permanent Members should be reviewed for their willingness to act with such responsibility and decided whether or not they should retain their veto status.

Pakistan and Afghanistan are made up of various local entities and as the resolution no where says "national" it clearly meant the geographic areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The South African delegate points out that the regions initially included in the plebiscite resolution were those which had displayed an obvious desire among the people for independence. Adding more regions within the UIR is a move supported by dubious reasons at best. South Africa moves that no further changes be made to the present resolution, so that international peacekeepers may be moved in quickly and plebiscites occur as soon as is practical. Especially in regards to current events throughout Asia, the UN act efficiently, rather than being tied down in endless debate and stalling measures.

To put it simply...
Without a veto power in the UN, the EEC + ToD dominance of the UN will be guanatreed. And if the EEC + ToD wants to pass anti-Asian or anti-American (unlikely, but just citing an example) or anti-"whoever EEC + ToD hates" resolutions, the EEC + ToD can do that easily if the veto power is overriden.
Therefore, the veto power is needed for the Asians, Americans, and non-EEC / ToD nations to prevent these two "blocs" from unfairly imposing UN laws and such that would be enormously beneficial for the EEC + ToD while being enormously negative for the "victim" nations or other alliance blocs.
What it boils down is three words.
"Tyranny by Majority".

Britain supports the Irish proposal in theory to kick the Chinese out for violation of the charter, but asks whether the implications of such a matter had been examined. Would a China removed from the UN not become more aggressive, having been freed from peer review of her actions? Without the UN to oversee them would they not look to other nations to stamp their brand of imperialism upon? Britain abstains from voting on the matter for the time being.
Britain instead pushes for the UN to give diplomacy a chance, to await the outcome of the British resolution (must be about passed by now) regarding vetoes, before getting the security council to vote (effectively without Chinese veto powers due to 2/3rds majority support) on a resolution to force China out of Kashgaria prior to installing UN aid agencies and peacekeepers. Surely the Chinese are not so deluded that they think they can stand up to the might of the entire UN?

That's the revised list, divided by continent. Of everyone could check their own nations and those nearby we can build a more acccurate list. i have already made all of the recommended changes, but some confusion still exists in Asia and a few other places.

Federated States of East Africa
(Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda and Burundi)
Central African Customs and Economic Union (CACEU)- Gabon, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Central African Republic, Chad.
Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)- Burkina, Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Senegal , Gambia,
CARICOM (ex-British Carribean territories)
I'm not sure which of the above count as countries, but they are posted in the Economic thread.

The only one which is a full country is the Federated States of East Africa. The others are just economics unions (I post their builds together as it was much easier than working out the food, pollution, energy etc for each one).

I didn't know if you made Malta independant or not, and Monaco is part of Italy, I believe, since Nice was annexed post WWIII. Moldova is a part of Rumania and Denmark the SU Jerusalem is Palestine and Jordan and Egypt doesn't exist. Lebanon is part of Syria and I don't think Pakistan is independant yet.

As far as I know, the Lateran Treaties were never signed in this RP so Vatican City is part of Italy.

(OOC: In regards to the Indian/UIR peacekeeping/plebiscite Resolution)
India puts forward an amendment dropping East Bengal from the Resolution given East Bengal’s recent change in status, which makes peacekeepers and plebiscites unnecessary.
