Siora took a moment "I can give some clarifications as to the intent of the proposal and hopefully satisfy some of your concerns." she said
AKOSection II.6 - this article sets out who can be in attendance at meetings as the lead delegate so to speak, given the concern of Achkaerinese influence it's our intent to make sure that you don't have sat at the table an Achkaerinese Royal, member of the Valtheim government or someone not of Awhaele. Which is why we wanted to define that the dealings will absolutely in the context be either with myself as the Awhaele head of state, the democratically elected First Minister of Awhaele as head of government who we will know the identity of on the 4th of March or an appointed person who will either be a member of the Faejeon High Council or a member of the First Minister's cabinet.
[1]Section IV - believe that this article is satisfied if we have an understanding of what constitutes a threat to the 'continents' peace, security, and justice' is, I believe we would both interpret that to be a credible and verified threat and not 'something has happened, Achkaerin is involved in it therefore they must settle it peacefully'.
Section VI.1 - Achkaerin's membership of the CSU
[2] I believe what may be more useful here is if you suggested what safeguards you might want to see in this regard.
As far as military goes yes Awhaele doesn't have a military of its own however I would point to the same guarantee offered to the Illumic Council here, Peter can undertake to abide by the decision of the AKO when it comes to the application of military force. However the point that was made in relation the artlcle I cited VII.2 was that it would be in the event of for example an attack on the city Alnor in Awhaele that the article is triggered not if the attack was on Valtheim. It's not acceptable to expect the AKO membership to be obligated to respond to an attack on land not on the continent, an attack in Elysium wouldn't trigger it so an attack in Valtheim shouldn't.
X.1 - I can't be certain as in 100% true however when Achkaerin negotiates treaties there is both before and at the end of the process a meeting in which I'm present, the First Minister is present, the Chief Councillor of Gowu is present along with all the legal minds and we go through with the Emperor and depending on when it happens those handling the negotiations whether we would contradict existing obligations, what the red lines might be and so on. I don't think I need to impress on you the high regard Achkaerin places on abiding by that which it signs. I also believe that if you had reason to believe Achkaerin had entered into a treaty that did in some way contradict the AKO that you could contact the Emperor and discuss it and I'm sure it would get rectified quickly.
MICA"The RRA's I believe it's called is something I'm aware of, I would be happy to leave to MICA which of those options it wishes to pursue in the event of admission. Alternatively Achkaerin does have a strong working history with Seaforth so potentially what we could do is expand the Seaforthian zone up to the edge of Awhaele's EEZ, Achkaerinese vessels could then coordinate with Seaforth in that zone, it's still the Seaforthian zone so control over that zone remains with the Illumic while also allowing membership participation."
Illumic Council"Again on certificates on origin I would welcome suggestions as to the safeguards you have in mind as if we can apply them to the AKO we can apply them here."
