Ardian Assembly - SICR-Sinsu Tensions
« on: September 19, 2019, 08:27:36 AM »


To: The Members of the Assembly

As you all may know in recent days we have seen an outbreak of tensions between the SICR and Sinsu which has resulted in the SICR firing thousands of shells into Sinsu. The regions which were targeted by the SICR include a region responsible for the vast majority of Sinsu's natural gas production as well as one which is home to the Uyghur minority. The potential threat to human life, ecological and economic damage cannot be understated: whether or not these actions were sanctioned by officials of the SICR or commanders in the field has no effect on the grave seriousness of the aggression we've seen unleashed upon Sinsu.

I therefore present to the Assembly the following Resolution:

Quote from: The Sinsu-SICR Crisis Resolution

Aware of the situation brewing between the SICR and Sinsu;

Concerned about the threat to human life and the environmental implications which could extend far beyond the SICR and Sinsu;

Recognising the historic difficulties between the SICR and Sinsu and the implications they have upon the present;

Determined that Ardian Nations should support the peaceful resolution of all differences;

The Membership of the Assembly agree to the following.

1. The SICR should assure the Assembly and Sinsu that the actions of those units responsible for the shelling of Sinsu were not acting on legitimate orders and will be held accountable for their actions.

2. The SICR shall remand to Sinsu monies for any damages incurred by the shelling of Sinsu.

3. The SICR shall commit to a peaceful resolution of its differences with Sinsu and respect the spirit of the agreements it has signed. As Sinsu is a member of this Assembly the indiscriminate shelling of Sinsu by the forces of the SICR may be considered a violation of the spirit of the Treaty.

4. The SICR shall assure the Assembly that its forces are brought under control of the legitimate chain of command and shall not conduct operations such as those displayed against Sinsu.

OOC - on the basis that a resolution generally brings a meeting with it

"Gowu believes that the proposed resolution has its heart in the right place but is somewhat flawed in places." Kae Taira, Gowu's representative to the Ardian Assembly said "Firstly let's be clear that the matters we are doing with concern actions reported to be carried out by members of the SICR's Imperial Fortress Corps, these being members of the military in my view puts the jurisdiction of a significant part of this matter within that of the Uppsala Convention. Consequently it is appropriate for an investigation into what happened to take place to determine the answers to key questions and it would be unwise for this Assembly to put anything like article two of the proposed resolution into practice until such time as the findings of such an investigation are known and any such follow up action taken. It is therefore important that both Sinsu and the SICR give undertakings to cooperate with an investigation into the matter and should prosecution under the Convention be warranted we would suggest that the SICR agree to the extradition of anyone charged under it. Therefore as stated article two should be struck.

Article three is unfairly biased it should reflect the desire of the Assembly to see the matter brought to a fair resolution, the most effective way of doing so in my opinion is peaceful but if that is to be the case in this resolution then should not only impose that duty on the SICR but also on Sinsu. That has to be the starting point of trying to resolve this bigger issue. It also follows that if things disintegrate further that other actions may become necessary and we should be prepared for that possibility.

Therefore the resolution should in my view read"

3. The SICR and Sinsu are strongly encouraged to take steps to resolve their differences through peaceful means. The Assembly offers its services to mediate any talks that take place and requests to be kept informed of progress on this matter.

4. In the event of further aggression by either nation in this matter the Assembly shall meet to discuss further action and reserves the right to do so without the presence of either Sinsu or the SICR if circumstances warrant it.

"I believe that the Assembly is here missing a trick." Penny Morrison began, "any resolution needs to do the following in this order. First stop the military action to protect the people of that area, second ascertain why there was military action taken at this time, third see if any crimes under the Uppsala Convention have taken place and finally put in place measures to ensure such action doesn't happen again. The proposed resolution deals only with the Uppsala Convention and is therefore in my view weak. What no-one has mentioned is this. SICR are members of SANE and their charter states, "1. Members of the South Ardian New Electorate (SANE) shall all be members of the Ardian Assembly and shall agree with all the decisions made by that body." Therefore what I propose is two resolutions.

Quote
Resolution 1

Aware of the situation brewing between the SICR and Sinsu;

Concerned about the threat to human life and the environmental implications which could extend far beyond the SICR and Sinsu;

The Membership of the Assembly agree to the following.

1. The government of the SICR is tasked with stopping with immediate effect any projectiles crossing the border with Sinsu.



We then should expect one of two things to happen. The first is the government issue orders for its own forces to stop the shelling in which case it halts immediately. The second is that, should the shelling be commanders acting on their own initiative robust action is enacted by the chain of command to halt it. Once the shelling has stopped we can then deal with the other factors in a second resolution.

Quote
Resolution Two

Recognising the historic difficulties between the SICR and Sinsu and the implications they have upon the present;

Determined that Ardian Nations should support the peaceful resolution of all differences;

The Membership of the Assembly agree to the following.

1. To refer the matter of the shelling to the Convention Advisory Committee of the Uppsala Convention for investigation into any breaches of the Convention caused by the action. Both Sinsu and the SICR are requested to cooperate with any such investigation.

2. In the event of any prosecution arising from any investigation arising from article 1 the SICR is requested to give an undertaking that they shall extradite to Achkaerin those persons charged.

3. Both nations to meet with a representative of the Ardian Assembly in order to seek a peaceful and long term resolution to the situation.

4. In order to ensure talks can take place in a constructive environment SICR and Sinsu to allow a group of military observors to be drawn from Assembly nations to monitor the border.

5. Should these observers believe that military actions are being undertaken by either side the assembly shall meet to discuss what further actions to take.

6. While these talks take place the nation observed undertaking military action shall be temporary suspended from the Assembly.

"With matters escalating rather quickly I would like to propose that we get this resolution passed as soon as possible. As no member of the SANE organisation has voiced any concerns I am forced to believe that they find this acceptable. I therefore propose we vote on accepting the two resolutions."

6. While these talks take place the nation observed undertaking military action shall be temporary suspended from the Assembly.


Assuming that both pass I would like to put forward Bakkermaya as leaders of the observation force. I believe out of the members of this group we have no connection to either side and as of yet have not utilised military assets in the area for any reason. I believe that a Bakkermayan lead and staffed observation force can be seen as being politically neutral in this situation.

"I have no argument with Bakkermaya leading an observation mission." Kae said "As the resolutions have been moved for vote I second that motion. Let us have the vote and let's get this nipped in the bud before things get even more escalated than they already are, the sooner we pass these resolutions the sooner we can get things in place to deal with this."

Following the passing of the resolution regarding the current situation between SICR and Sinsu the Bakkermayan government are preparing to dispatch an observation force.

As such we are placing Group Captain Redmile in charge of the force.

We shall be dispatching two teams.

SICFOR - To patrol inside the SICR border.

850 troops
2 x E-18 Bloodhound
50 x LCV-3
4 x Lifter Helicopters

SINFOR - To patrol inside the Sinsu border.

1000 troops
2 x E-18 Bloodhound
50 x LCV-3
4 x Lifter Helicopters
2 x Cub



It is our hope both nations will make ports open for transportation of assets in accordance with the resolution recently passed.

Signed

The New Derusmian representative, having just recieved a message from the President, abruptly stood up, making an announcement.

“President Feish has just expressed interest in sending troops to patrol and protect the border alongside the Bakkermayan forces. We’d like to request permission to send:

1000 Unified Ground Force troops, equipped with 65 Bassendean 4 vehicles, 5 Olwenson 35 Anti-Aircraft guns, and 15 DA-10 Helicopters to assist the SINFOR and SICFOR.

To the Ardian Assembly,

In light of recent internal political developments, we hereby reject both resolutions, including sending foreign observation forces into the SICR, as the Electorate has decreed it as a "breach of national sovereignty", though we will accept any observation force from Quintelia or New Derusmia. Additionally, the firing over the border was halted exactly three hours from its start, and we refuse to hand over the dragonaii responsible to a foreign nation. Instead, those responsible will be tried by dragonaii law and by the dragonaii justice system alone. Any military action by the SICR against Sinsu will be halted in accordance with the Uppsala Convention and Demilitarization of the border will be commenced immediately.

Instead, we will engage in negotiations with Sinsu with New Derusmia or Quintelia as a mediator and are fully open to any suggestions from thereon from the Assembly, with the exception of Rokkenjima.

With full sincerity,

A Note Of Concern

To: The Members of the Assembly

In its latest proclamation the SICR sets forth a dangerous precedent: cherry-picking which elements of the Uppsala Convention to implement while discarding others and, in a troubling display of overt bias, presenting members of SANE to fulfill the role of a neutral observation force. The very fact that New Derusmia and Quintellia are SANE members alongside the SICR negates their participation in any such force if it is to be truly neutral; it would be comparable to the First Empire rejecting an Assembly observation force in favour of the Kingdom of Dartfordia or the Kingdom of Tytor.

The Uppsala Convention, furthermore, is not a document one may implement through a process of picking and choosing which parts to follow and those which may be discounted. To attempt to do so sets a most dangerous precedent which I am confident the First Empire and a host of other nations which have signed the Convention are not content to allow to be set.

No one sat at this table has any reason to believe that Bakkermayan forces should have any cause to divert from their status as a neutral force, while we should all have cause for concern that the forces of Quintellia and New Derusmia would have a natural bias toward their SANE allies, the SICR. It is of further concern that SANE has not condemned the actions of the SICR, or even issued a single statement regarding the SICR's shelling of the Republic of Sinsu. For these reasons it is quite simply not possible for forces from either nation to fulfill the role set forth for Bakkermayan forces.

It is reassuring that the Republic has agreed to the course set forth by the Assembly and, regardless of the unilateral moves of the SICR to derail this process, I would urge our Republican colleagues to stay true to their present course.

Thank you.

A Note of Recommendation

To the Members of the Assembly

Let me also take this moment to officially reiterate[1]condemn SICR's shelling on Sinsu. An offensive action is still an offensive action, may it be an invasion or a few hours of shelling, and thus SICR must follow the resolutions put forward by the Assembly. However, seeing as there is little to no chance that SICR will follow the resolutions, I hereby suggest an additional resolution to go with the passed provisions:

Quote
Resolution 3:

Determined that SICR should comply with this and the previous resolutions

Acknowledging that Sinsu has declared full intent to cooperate

Recognizing the concerns put forward by Rokkenjima and SICR

The Membership agree to the following:
1. Bakkermaya, New Derusmia, and Quintelia deploy equal amounts of troops and armaments for SICFOR and SINFOR.

2. The deployed forces shall be under the temporary command of Group Captain Redmile.

3. Both nations' heads of state shall meet in Nueva Lungsod to seek a long term peace agreement with third party representatives appointed by the Assembly to observe the meeting.

Any additions or revisions that is deemed needed and fairer will be accepted.

Yours truly,

Sofia Aliena,
Quintelian Minister of Foreign Affairs

A Note On Post Vote Statements

To the Members of the Assembly:

Let us be absolutely clear that the attitude of the SICR set out in its latest statement is not very helpful it is in fact for the most part rather concerning. The two resolutions passed by this assembly are fair, reasoned and feasible. As a member of this Assembly the SICR had as much opportunity as any other member to debate the content, to propose changes to the resolutions and to advocate its point of view, it did not take any of these opportunities and must now come to terms with that and live with the consequences. Let us remember that as a member of SANE the SICR has agreed to the following at section one article one of the SANE charter:

"Members of the South Ardian New Electorate (SANE) shall all be members of the Ardian Assembly and shall agree with all the decisions made by that body."

This quite clearly commits the SICR to a position where it must abide by the terms of resolutions passed by this Assembly. That the SICR now seeks to ignore a resolution of the Assembly puts them in breach of their commitments to SANE, as such the onus falls on Quintelia and New Derusmia (as the other members of SANE) to ensure that the SICR does stay true to the commitments it has signed up to under SANE, and trying to walk back a resolution into a watered down form as the statement from the Quintelia foreign affairs minister seems to attempt to do does not accomplish this. If SANE does not wish its motto to be "Our words are hollow and meaningless" then Quintelia and New Derusmia will hold the SICR's feet to the fire and hold them accountable to the two resolutions that the Assembly has passed. Should SANE wish to review the quoted article of its charter in the days that follow this debate then that is of course a matter for them to consider but let's be under no illusions the quoted article is the wording on the day that the resolutions were passed therefore the SICR must comply with the resolutions if it wishes to fulfil its obligations to SANE and if it does not take action to comply with the resolutions then SANE must take action in response to that.

It is noted that in the SICR statement the following wording is found:

"the firing over the border was halted exactly three hours from its start"

This would appear to satisfy the terms of Resolution one, the shelling has stopped and that is all the first resolution required.

"and we refuse to hand over the dragonaii responsible to a foreign nation. Instead, those responsible will be tried by dragonaii law and by the dragonaii justice system alone. Any military action by the SICR against Sinsu will be halted in accordance with the Uppsala Convention and Demilitarization of the border will be commenced immediately."

This is a hugely concerning statement because it seems to suggest that the SICR will act only in partial accordance with the Uppsala Convention, a statement that the international community cannot possibly permit to occur. The SICR is a signatory to the document and therefore agrees with the following provision of that document:

"2. The Convention Advisory Committee – From this point on in the document referred to as the CAC. The CAC will be a panel made up of two members of each signatory nation. They shall have the power to investigate allegations of breaking this treaty. They will gather evidence and decide whether a prosecution is warranted. Should they decide a prosecution is warranted they shall issue a request for the accused to be extradited to the nation nominated for The Court. Any defendant shall be afforded the Rights granted by Articles 4, 6 and 7 of the Mundus Convention on Human Rights, this applies even if their home nation is not a signatory member of that convention."

Under the terms of Resolution 2 passed by the Assembly the CAC was to be referred the matter of investigating the shelling and then deciding whether there exists sufficient evidence to prosecute. As Achkaerin is the host nation of the Uppsala Court (though if an Achkaerinese national were on trial the Court would sit elsewhere for that case) it is the nation to whom defendants are extradited this was the case with General Brook it was the case with the Toshikawan's who masterminded the Andean Genocide and it was the case with the Empress of Rokkenjima, no ifs and no buts about it.

The proposed Resolution three by Quintelia is something that shouldn't be considered as it attempts to rewrite the second half of Resolution two. First it seeks to determine the makeup of the observational force by including personnel from SANE nations to police and observe the activities of a SANE nation, now without wishing to impinge the moral integrity of Quintelia and New Derusmia the mere appearance of them acting in such a manner may be perceived as biased, the limitation of participation in the observation force also ignores the wealth of experience held by the forces of other Assembly members in similar circumstances.

Second the third point of the Quintelia proposal is a non starter because under Resolution two it has already been agreed that:

"Both nations to meet with a representative of the Ardian Assembly in order to seek a peaceful and long term resolution to the situation."

The implication of this article is that the representative of the Ardian Assembly is to be the mediator not an observer, it also follows that for the same reason outlined above that the mediator should not be a representative of Quintelia or New Derusmia I also think it likely that Rokkenjima would acknowledge that it is probably not appropriate for one of its representatives to handle this matter and to permit a representative from one of the other member states to do so.

Finally I would remind the SICR that the strategy of portraying the passed Resolutions as a "breach of national sovereignty" holds no water. When a nation signs an international treaty the chances are that the nation will in doing so give up some of its sovereignty to that body, if you don't want to give up such sovereignty then don't go signing such treaties. The fact however is that the SICR is signatory to international treaties and therefore has obligations under them which it must follow. If the SICR wishes to resolve the dispute with Sinsu then complying with the two resolutions is the best way of doing so.

« Reply #23 on: October 06, 2019, 01:51:28 PM »

Following the attempt by New Derusima to change the resolution so recently put in place I have to deny their request. The mission profile of the situation is to provide a observation force that is capable of casting an objective eye on situation on the border between the two countires. As such I do not believe such a mission can be accomplished if nations in a military alliance with one of the two parties provide a majority of the force. I therefore am not willing to allow SANE affiliated forces to be larger than 50% of the combined non SANE forces (For example with Bakkermaya sending 850 troops to SICFOR the SANE nations could not send morethan 424 soldiers between them).

Politicians from all nations of Ardia had an oppurtunity to give input to the original resolution and both New Derusima and Quintelia accepted that resolution. As such it is now neccessary for them to support the Assembly in the same manner that the Assembly supported them in their dispute with Rokkenjima some time ago.

To:- The Ardian Assembly

The Republic of Sinsu has already made available ports open to receive the Assembly Observation Force and thus is looking forward to solve the mentioned issues affecting ROS and SICR, as well as supporting the sentiments shared by Gowu and the Bakkermayan Armed Forces.

Kinds Regards,

Teng Jia,
President of the Republic of Sinsu

To the Ardian Assembly,

As with the statements put forward by both Bakkermaya and Gowu, the Quintelian government have decided to give SICR three working days[1] to agree unconditionally to the second resolution that has been agreed by the majority of the assembly. As with the dargonaii being staunch in following the rules they made, they should also follow the rules they helped in making. If the allotted time passed and SICR has not agreed to the resolution, then the following resolution shall be made by SANE:

Quote
Resolution 1

Determined that SICR must comply to the resolutions put forward by the Ardian Assembly

Acknowledging that SICR is in breach of the SANE charter

Aware of the cultural boundaries in SICR's international affairs

The Members of SANE agree to the following should SICR not agree to Resolution 2:
1. SICR shall recall all their representatives and their staff back from Nueva Lungsod

2. Any representative of SICR shall not be allowed to attend any SANE meeting

3. Tariffs of up to 20% shall be imposed on all products.

4. Any infrastructure projects in SICR connected to SANE will be paused.

5. Articles 1 - 4 will be effective three days from now until SICR agrees to the resolutions unconditionally.

This is a decision by SANE and thus the Ardian Assembly has no say in revising or adding on the resolution.
 1. OOC: also three rl days unless OOC factors come in (school work, etc.)
