SECURITY COUNCIL - Nya Aland Whale Hunt
Topic Started: 24th May 2015 - 05:45 AM (1,271 Views)

The Seaforth Confederation whoukd like to bring the issue of the Nya Aland Whale Hunt before the security council. By this time it is quite obvious that Nya Aland aims to proceed with the whale hunt despite calls for discussion. Likewise, various protesters, some sponsored by governments appear to be just as determined to stop the whaling by any means possible. Of much concern to us is the deployment of warships to the area. This will do nothing but escalate the situation.

We find that Nya Aland is within its rights to carry out a whale hunt as proscribed by thier government. Equally true is the rights if the protesters under the FSC to enter and peacefully carry out protests, including the use of low powered SONAR to lure the whale pods away. The protesters do NOT have the right, under the FSC to use thier vessels to interfere with the economic activity of Nya Aland within the EEZ by piloting their ships in an unsafe manner or deliberately interfering with the navigation of vessels or equipment employed by the Nya Aland whaling fleet and domestic Nya Aland forces such as the Navy, Coast Guard and Police forces are within their rights to police those waters under the FSC.

What is truly worrysome is the stance taken by nations such as Dartfordia. Should vessels such as those belonging to Greenpeace, or another such entity, engage in activity contravening the FSC, Dartfordia has stated they will "protect" those ships even though Nya Aland is justified under the FSC in boarding thise vessels. This sets a dangerous precendent in that other nations, bent on conflict, could use this precedent to send civilian ships into a nations EEZ and send 50 ships in to "protect" them from "illegal boarding and seizure".

Seaforths reccomendations are as follows:

1) Nya Aland is within its rights under the FSC to determine whether or not a whale hunt may take place in its waters and how many whales may be caught. As such, it is to the realm of diplomacy and negotiation that whaling concerns must fall to. That being said Seaforth reccomends non-interference in this years hunt, and those nations so inclined to use the next year to negotiate with Nya Aland.

2) With a mind to Nya Alands cultural freedoms, negotiating the whaling hunt down to ceremonial levels, for example taking 23 whales instead of the current limit of 230, with subsequent subsidies of food and funds from interested nations and entities may be welcomed by the Nya Aland villages in question.

3) Nya Aland is within its rights, under the FSC to police their EEZ and enforce laws pertaining to the protesters including dangerous operation of vessels, intentionally ramming, intention destruction of property and other laws, but not including the use if low power SONAR to lure whale pods.

4) Interference in the policing of vessels by Nya Aland authorities by armed naval vessela of a foreign power may, under the FSC be considered A) an act of piracy or B) an act of war.

5) In order to keep the peace and prevent the high tensions and high emotional state from escalating to the point where there is a potential to cause harm or loss of life, Seaforth reccomenda that a buffer zone of neutral naval vessels be maintained between foreign naval vessels and the Nya Aland fleet. This buffer zone would not apply to civilian protest vessels and peaceful protest would continue with Nya Aland free to police the EEZ without complication and under the observation of the naval force maintaining the buffer zone.

6) Seaforth reccomends that the buffer zone be maintained and under the command of South Hills and any such neutral partners they wish to include.


Our proposal is now open for discussion.

The FSC states that the EEZ is able to be economically exploited purely and solely by the controlling nation; could it not be argued, Mr. McKenna, that intentionally rerouting the whales is disturbing this right to economic exploitation?"

Mr. Rifter nodded, as he straightened his suit and sat back down in his chair, awaiting the other members responses.

"I agree in principle that this is a cultural issue that has been blown massively out of proportion for numerous reasons

1) The whales in question are not to our knowledge an endangered species... yet though if this practice continues in future years with a steady or increase in quota that may change very quickly.

2) Yes it's barbaric but it's the Nya Aland cultural heritage and if it's happening in Nya Alands territorial waters there isn't really much we can do in terms of addressing the hunt legitimacy which is what aspects of the international community would have us do is if either my previous point or my next one are brought into question.

3) Nya Aland have set a quota of approx 210 Whales that will be hunted. This is a reasonable quota.

However I would also like it on record that we acknowledge the share of responsibility for this mess that Nya Aland bears. Now we know they have invited members from Odmony and Seaforth to be Grand Marshall's of the hunt, incidentally may I say Mr McKenna that it is excellent news to see Harper Rhodes recovering so well, however we should note that the WMO- the organisation that forms the principle opposition to this hunt have not been invited to observe the hunt in the same way, we know this because that suggestion was made by Achkaerin's Emperor and rejected by the government of Nya Aland now while that is their right let's be clear that allowing the WMO to observe would have been a progressive move in the right direction and could potentially have prevented certain escalations of the situation.

"If I may speak to some of the misunderstanding that has gone on surrounding this hunt. As until recently Nya Åland was a province of the Union it was our government which banned the hunt for several years. The communities that have been permitted the right to hunt have always proved difficult to reach during the harsh winter months, however our ban was brought about mainly because of international pressures and as such their has always been some resentment towards the UNP by the two areas.

In regards to negotiating down to a ceremonial level the numbers are lower than those that were permitted in the past, this is possibly because people have migrated away from the region because of the difficulties in the winter months. This is not some religious or cultural hunt, to the people of Åland it is a necessity in their eyes, a way of being self sustaining and well fed.

I certainly agree nations sending armed vessels is a big issue, I have yet to see evidence of the Nya Åland navy violating any of the FSC despite provocation from protesters using direct action.

If I may now address my colleague from Achkaerin's comments about the WMO. On the 1st of May Queen Matilda of East Moreland announced an intention to " place vessels in the area to try and attract the pilot whales out to sea while transiting Nya Aland waters in accordance with the FSC." This cleary shows a desire to oppose and disrupt the hunt by that organisation. This came less than 24 hours after our neighbours announced the hunt. With an organisation so intent on disrupting the hunt would you want them being the ones observing when clearly the founder has determined the practice is wrong by stating it is "cruel and unneccessary". I don't think they'd be going into it with an open mind."

"And you know for a fact that everyone in the WMO holds that point of view?" Steven asked "Because I'll assure you now they don't. But I will answer the question directly if I may. The answer is yes I would want them there even with closed minds and the reason is simple because as a government it could then be shown that every reasonable step was taken to prevent a standoff, as it stands the WMO if they have reasonable cause can bring actions of a legal nature against the Nya Aland government, engage with them and you take away the stick they can use to beat you with. I'm not saying the hunt is wrong, yes I personally believe it to be cruel and unnecessary but I acknowledge that if I were from Nya Aland that I would probably think differently the issue here is cultural understanding and tolerance. Personal opinions do not always translate into Government policy."

Members of the Security Council,

His Majesty's Government formally seeks permission by the Security Council to attend this debate, as is our right under Article 31 of the Commonwealth Treaty, which states:

Article 31 of the Commonwealth Treaty
 
Any Member of the Commonwealth Treaty Organisation which is not a member of the Security Council or any state which is not a Member of the Commonwealth Treaty Organisation, if it is a party to a dispute under consideration by the Security Council, shall be invited to participate, without vote, in the discussion relating to the dispute. The Security Council shall lay down such conditions as it deems just for the participation of a state which is not a Member of the Commonwealth Treaty Organisation.


We believe it is essential, due to the factually incorrect statements that have been made against our government, that we are given a right of reply to these allegations and are allowed to participate fully, without vote, on coming to a swift and pacific resolution. Without such a right being granted, we believe the legitimacy of any decision made by the Security Council in relation to this issue would be severely undermined.

In addition, we strongly recommend that representatives from Nya Åland are invited to these discussions.

Kind regards,

Andrew Norton
His Majesty's Ambassador to the Commonwealth Treaty Organisation

"I to would like to see Dartfordia and Nya Aland both come here to sort this out in accordance with article 32 of our charter. Though I would make two observations- firstly article 31 can apply to any nation involved in this matter so for example Rokkenjima and East Moreland though considering the multi-national make up of the 'protest group' it is probably best that we ask Dartfordia to confer with the other affected nations and if there is agreement have Dartfordia represent them all during this matter.

Secondly there is the small matter of Nya Aland not being members of the CTO itself. This does limit what we as a Security Council can recommend."

INVITATION ISSUED TO THE GOVERNMENTS OF DARTFORDIA AND NYA ALAND

As you are now doubt aware the issue of whaling in the Sea of Alucard has been a point of contention in recent weeks. The situation at the moment sees military vessels of several nations in close proximity and this has done little other than increase tensions. The matter has recently been brought to the attention of the Commonwealth Treaty Organisation's Security Council in the hopes that a swift and lasting solution to this issue can be found. We would however like to hear from a representative of each nation before the Security Council makes any recommendations, I therefore invite you to send a representative of your choosing to meet with the Security Council as soon as possible. While your representative will be party to the talks of the Security Council they will not be permitted to vote.

I hope both nations will take the opportunity for peaceful solutions to the current situation and look forward to discussing the issue with you at your earliest convenience.

Signed

Timothy Carpenter
Secretary-General Commonwealth Treaty Organisation.

Having received the letter of invitation Daniel Stenberg the Head Gothi had made the decision to dispatch Foreign Minister Kris Leifsson. He arrived at the CTO building with a feint grin, they had yet to join the CTO, while not sure they would this would be an interesting opportunity to investigate the working of the organisation.

He was shown to the Council room and entered introducing himself. "Ladies and Gentleman, thank you for allowing us to witness what you say about our nation. I'm Kris Leifsson of Nya Åland, a pleasure to meet you all." he said offering his hand to each in turn before taking the offered seat.

Shortly after he received the response from Tim Carpenter, Andrew Norton quickly made his way to the Security Council chamber. In a similar fashion to Kris Leifsson, Norton shook hands with each of the Security Council delegates, Tim Carpenter, and Leifsson himself before taking a seat. "I'd firstly like to thank the Security Council and the Secretary-General for allowing us to contribute to the processes today, and to the Seaforth Confederation of Clans for raising this issue today. Without wishing to impede on the intended direction of discussions, I have been asked by the Secretary of State for Foreign and Cross-Straits Affairs to...clear up some issues."

He pulled out a sheet of paper, with the initial statement of intent by Seaforth that triggered this discussion. "On the whole, the Kingdom of Dartfordia is generally supportive of this resolution. However:

1) I wish to clarify the Dartfordian position on any engagement. The statement here says: 'Dartfordia has stated they will "protect" those ships even though Nya Aland is justified under the FSC in boarding thise vessels.' This is not reflective of our position. We seek to ensure that Nya Åland maintains its own responsibilities within the Fair Seas Concordat – therefore should a Dartfordian-flagged vessel be seized within the EEZ, we shall not intervene. However, should a vessel be be attacked, boarded or unduly harassed by the Nya Åland Navy or any other ship when outside the EEZ, then further reasonable and proportional measures may be taken to ensure their safety.

2) In addition to the point above, we have submitted a written message to the five Dartfordian flagged ships in the area informing them of our intentions. Should they antagonise the Nya Åland Navy by weaving in and out of the EEZ, our options again would be limited. We have therefore recommended they keep at least 1 nautical mile away from the Exclusive Economic Zone and do not directly sail towards it.

3) The two Royal Dartfordian Navy ships in the area are currently 50 nautical miles away from the EEZ, and thus over 40 nautical miles away from South Hills buffer zone. While the destroyer, HMDS Andromeda shall keep her distance, the mostly unarmed HMDS Warwick may be instructed to move closer towards the EEZ – but still behind the South Hills buffer zone – in order to police the ships of our flag, should they be taking actions stated in part (2) above.

4) We must also, however, question the Security Council's legitimacy in interpreting the Fair Seas Concordat. This document was written to be interpreted by the Covenant of Nations and its relevant institutions, and since there are many nations, such as Tytor, that are signatory to the FSC but not the Commonwealth Treaty, we would strongly urge caution before interpreting Concordat without consultation of these states.

5) While we also recognise that some may question the Security Council's ability to take direct action in Nya Åland, as they are not a signatory to the Treaty, we do believe it has the right to recommend a resolution on this matter – and I hope my colleagues in Nya Åland can agree.

Thank you."

He nodded towards Timothy Carpenter, and watched as his microphone flickered off.

"If I may be permitted to respond before you ladies and gentleman set about your business." Kris said raising to his feet.

"From our nations point of view the actions of the Dartfordian flagged vessels amounts to nothing more than economic warfare and military intimidation. Those belonging to Greenpeace are attempting to interfere with a community attempting to feed itself without the need to accept charity. Meanwhile these so called protestors are backed up by Dartfordian military vessels which provides encouragement for them to interfere in our people's attempts to lawfully feed themselves.

By Dartfordia's ambassadors own admission we have the right to seize any ship within our EEZ, as our patrol ships have not left that zone and do not intend to then there is no reason for these Dartfordian military vessels to be used as a means of intimidation, currently South Hills have created a buffer zone and are patrolling it, they clearly are able to provide assurance that we will comply with the FSC.

As a nation with a small navy our resources have already been stretched patrolling our boarders with the UNP in efforts against the Gungnir, we now have to not only patrol that boarder but also deal with these ships and be prepared to deal with potential interference from Dartfordian. Our resources are now at breaking point because of the reckless actions of these protestors and the nations which they are flagged in. "

"There's only one question of any real substance and it's this." Steven said "Is the Government of Nya Aland prepared to give a guarantee that they will abide by any recommendation or resolution made by this council in regards to this matter? For if they are not then this matter cannot in my opinion proceed any further with a realistic hope of resolving the situation."

Mr. Norton, the FSC is an important document, widely upheld by many nations on Mundus. Why do you think that the Security Council or the General Assembly should consult former members if the Covenant of Nations? By my count, only three members of that failed enterprise are still relevant today. Thise being Quinntopia, Rokkenjima and Dartfordia. All members of the CSU and the CSTO. Are you saying that thise alliances alone are fit to interpret the FSC? Why should the Security Council rely on the interpretation and influence of a single entity inbthe form of the CSU/CSTO? Do you beleive that the CSU/CSTO should determine maritime law that all the great nations of the CTO and beyond will uphold? If the Security Council cannot interpret and make a ruling on the FSC without the input of Rokkenjima, Quinntopia and Dartfordia, hiw does that translate into fair and equal decusions fir nations such as Nya Aland, and other nations, some members of the CTO, who may disagree with the interpretations if the CSU/CSTO or have a less than cordial relationship with them?

Norton took a sip of water. "Thank you for your question. May I clear up any misunderstanding you may have. Dartfordia questions the legitimacy of the Security Council interpreting the Fair Seas Concordat, this does not necessarily apply to the International Court of Justice or to the General Assembly. Which, as they are both inclusive organisations, would rightly be entitled to interpret such a treaty. However, if the Security Council is determined to interpret the Concordat, then, as I said in my statement 'we would strongly urge caution before interpreting [the] Concordat without consultation of these states.' 'These' in this context, would refer to members belonging to the Fair Seas Concordat but not the Security Council. Dartfordia, Rokkenjima, Supreme Sovreignty, Tytor, Novincia and Nya Åland fall into this category.

"Yet this does not attempt to give undue influence to Cross-Straits nations, as you wrongly assumed, but rather to ensure a decision by the Security Council takes into account the opinion of countries signatory to the Concordat. Should these countries not agree with the interpretation by the Security Council, then they will be able to make that point clear – but in our opinion should not directly hinder the Security Council's efforts."

"We merely accepted the invitation to ensure that you were armed with all the information you required, we will not abide by the instructions of an organisation if it infringes on our nations sovereignty and our rights under the FSC. We are more than happy to give a guarantee that we will not interfere with a boat outside our EEZ as long as it poses no threat to our shipping. Beyond that I fail to see what this organisation would expect of us."

"With all due respect if the boats outside your EEZ it's in international waters and you have no realistic prospect of doing anything in that regard unless your desire is a court case." Steven said with a sigh it wasn't the answer he'd wanted because it now confirmed that this thing would just keep on running.

"Now let me explain why the guarantee was requested, there were two reasons firstly we could have drawn a line under the whole matter in one stroke right here and now, secondly giving the guarantee would have protected Nya Aland from legal avenue blow back since Nya Aland would then be seen as having taken all 'reasonable' steps to resolve the issue by amicable means made even more critical by the blame for the situation in its present state lying squarely on both parties.

The point is this the recommendation this council makes could well be something like the following:

1) Military vessels belonging to those nations involved in the protest to return to a designated distance
2) Military vessels belonging to Nya Aland to return to port
3) The South Hills buffer zone to remain in place and to take responsibility for the policing of the protesting vessels

If that were the recommendation of this council and Nya Aland does not abide then you have failed to take at least one 'reasonable' step, your other being your refusal to allow the WMO to observe which is mitigated by your invitation to Seaforth and Odmony to observe however there would be no mitigation this time.

However most crucially what all this means is that Nya Aland is facing the very real prospect of being in the dock in the International Court of Justice.

Now having explained that I will allow the opportunity for Mr Leifsson to reconsider and I will also invite Mr Norton to give the same guarantee."

"You would honestly try and deny a nation the right to patrol its own waters? Does this not make a mockery of the FSC you even suggesting this? We have offered a guarantee here and in public that as long as a vessel stays outside our EEZ then we will not interfere with it, the very fact that one of your hypothetical resolutions is to prevent us from carrying out actions relevant to our own national security is frankly ludicrous. We have conformed to all sections of the FSC and we have taken reasonable steps to allow the hunt to be monitored by a person who is neutral in this matter, namely a representative from Odmony and one from Seaforth. Your continued insistence that we should have allowed WMO to conduct observations shows little understanding of the role of the Grand Marshall. No whale may be killed without their say so, should they believe we have acted out of order they can simply demand a stop and the hunt is called of. Surely this is even more of a way of showing we are acting in accordance with the guidelines of the hunt than allowing an organisation that have already been critical of the hunt to observe. Am I to assume your three recommendations are supported by the others around this table?"

"Nueva Ardia is also oppose to these three recommendations. Nueva Ardia is confused by the fact that an Organization has been able to compromise a nations' sovereignty in protest against a cultural practice. While they have a right to protest a hunt they see as unjust, Nya Aland also has the right to defend against these aggressors when in regards to their EEZ."

"For the record I was being hypothetical with the recommendations and pointing out that without such a guarantee to abide by any recommendation this council makes that the government of Nya Aland leaves itself liable in the ICJ should it breach a recommendation- whatever that recommendation may be. Obviously if they give the guarantee and abide by the recommendation they they wouldn't be liable for anything."

"This is why we did not join CTO for fear of it just being a stick to beat smaller nations into the will of larger. We are not members and not bound by the organisations charter. We came here to equip you with information you need to.make recommendations to your members, the hunt is clearly very different to other examples of whaling and many comments made here show an ignorance of its methods and reasons. So far none of our military vessels have left our EEZ and I repeat that they won't. Now rather than focusing on dealing with the issue which is the fact that Dartfordian flagged vessels are potentially violating our EEZ and a protected area and are seemingly backed by armed vessels attempting to intimidate us into inaction, you prefer to focus on strong arming us with threats of a court we have not signed up to. You'll forgive me but I believe at present this Security Council has lost sight of what is actually going on in the Sea of Alucard and seems more interested in getting some capitulation from us. We will not abide by anything that gives up one inch of control over our EEZ or denies us our legal right to determine our own national security and frankly if you suggested any recommendation that did you make a mockery of this organisation."

"Nueva Ardia backs this stance, Nya Aland are not members of this council or organization so the demands we make are void. This council is obviously guided by the bias against the Whaling tradition, while in actuality Nya Aland has every right to protect their EEZ from threat, which has been the harassment by protestors and foreign military vessels. This strife to find make Nya Aland concede to demands that would impede upon on a right to protect their exclusive economic zone is ridiculous, this shouldn't be a matter in this council, Nya Aland is within their every right, there is no necessary movement for solutions or agreements."

Steven sat back in his chair, he knew this needed resolving as quickly and amicably as possible but there were considerations to make and they had to be fair but also had to spell out the dangers.

"If I may make a proposal for the resolution." Steven said, he then distributed copies of the proposed resolution.



Commonwealth Treaty Organisation
Security Council Resolution


Resolution #0001

Adopted by the Security Council on [Date]


[The Security Council,

Noting the conflict between The Odinist Republic of Åland and a number of independently-owned vessels (herein ‘protesting ships’) with their flag in the Kingdom of Dartfordia, the Kingdom of East Moreland, the First Empire of Rokkenjima, et al.,

Concerned at the unintentional escalation of conflict between protest ships and The Odinist Republic of Åland,

Recognising the sovereign rights of The Odinist Republic of Åland, in accordance with Article 73 of the Fair Seas Concordat, to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations adopted by it in conformity with the Concordat,

Commending the South Hills Council of Governments for the swift establishment of a peaceful buffer zone,

Wishing to resolve the conflict as swiftly and peacefully as possible,

Considering the clauses and principles of the Fair Seas Concordat,

Considering the views of The Odinist Republic of Åland, the Kingdom of Dartfordia, et al.,

Acting under Chapter VII of the Commonwealth Treaty,

1. Hereby establishes a 10 nautical mile ‘Buffer Zone’, drawn eastward from the edge of the Exclusive Economic Zone of The Odinist Republic of Åland, insofar as not to interfere with the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Union of Nordic People or any other state,

2. Nominates the South Hills Council of Governments to patrol and regulate the buffer zone,

3. Requires that all military or government-owned ships not exercising their right to innocent passage, with the exception of ships belonging to the South Hills Coast Guard, withdraw from the buffer zone and remain outside until such time as the Security Council agrees to dissolve it,

4. Requests that all non-government ships not exercising their right to innocent passage, including ships participating in the protest, observe the Buffer Zone and remain clear of it,

5. Requests the flag state of ships participating in the protest to give notice to their ships of the Security Council’s request,

6. Empowers the South Hills Coast Guard, in the exercise of regulating the buffer zone, to take all reasonable measures to enforce (3) and (4),

7. Requests that The Odinist Republic of Åland does not interfere with the operation of the Buffer Zone,

8. Authorises the South Hills Coast Guard to take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of all protestor ships within the Exclusive Economic Zone of The Odinist Republic of Åland and the Buffer Zone, or beyond the Buffer Zone,

9. Further authorises a warship or government-owned ship belonging to a flag state of a protesting ship, or the South Hills Coast Guard, to enter the Buffer Zone and Exclusive Economic Zone at the request of the Government of The Odinist Republic of Åland,

10. Recognises the right of a flag state of a protesting ship, in the event of a gross violation of this resolution, any future resolution, the Treaty, the Fair Seas Concordat, the Uppsala Conventions, or international common law, to take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of ships of ships of their flag,

11. Notes as follows:
a. The above authorisation in (8) does not authorise the South Hills Coast Guard of a protesting ship to interfere in processes deemed lawful by Article 73 of the Fair Seas Concordat insofar as a reasonable procedure is undertaken,
b. Should the South Hills Coast Guard be unable to sufficiently maintain the Buffer Zone, then they shall inform the Security Council, who shall nominate another member state of the Organisation to do so,
c. The Odinist Republic of Åland is not bound by the terms of this resolution, but a failure to comply with its provisions may result in further action by the Security Council, General Assembly or International Court of Justice, or individual member states mandated by the same, to ensure compliance with this resolution,
d. The flag state of a protesting ship shall not be held liable for violations of this resolution by the protesting ship, but shall be held liable for their own actions, or actions by their warships or government-owned vessels.



"I believe this proposal to be fair and in compliance with international law, it also spells out clearly the recourse should the resolution not be adhered to."

McKenna read the proposed resolution very catefully and found himself pleased, especially that Achkaerin has incorporated all of the Seaforth reccomendations put forth at the beginning if this discussion. Not only would this resolution ensure that Nya Alands sovereign rights and were protected and they would be free to police the protest vessels without interference, but military vessels would be kept from escalating the situation by the buffer zone.

"I would like to thank Mr. Norton and Mr. Leifsson for attending this meeting and providing their insight into this matter. The Secuity Councils cheif responsibility is to promote the peaceful stabilization of potential conflicts, while taking into account the sovereign rights of the involved nations, eapecially those not signatories to the CTO. With this resolution, Nya Aland is free to police the EEZ as required, without outside interference while preventing military action from vessels aligned with the protesters. Also, this resolution will also allow the protesters to continue their protest, as long as their actions do not violate the law. Seaforth votes in favour of this resolution."

Serreklar cleared his throat before speaking. “I will let it be known that Odmony will not support any resolution on this matter that infringes upon the sovereignty of Nya Åland. Doing so would be counter to the principles of peace and harmony under which the Commonwealth Treaty Organization was founded, and would set a dangerous precedent. The age of imperialism is a thing of the past, and it should stay that way.”

“That being said, I feel that this resolution grants proper respect to Nya Åland’s sovereign rights, while allowing protesters to peacefully voice their views in a legal manner. Dartfordia is amiable to this arrangement, and if Nya Åland expresses similar support, then Odmony will be in favor of this resolution.”

"We would be willing to allow he South Hills coastguard to use the ports of Nya Åland for the duration of the whale hunt season." Kris informed the room.

"Should it be of a help to the South Hills Coastguard the Union of Nordic People would also be willing to allow access to our ports until such as time as the buffer is removed." the UNP's member of the Security Council informed them.

"I believe we have a majority in favor of this resolution." Steven said counting off Achkaerin's, Seaforth's, Odmony's and South Hills's support that was four out of six. I therefore believe that it enters into affect at the Secretary Generals discretion."
