In recent weeks the armies of the Confederacy of Mid East Socialist States have pressed into Anatolia and occupied territory they have no legitimate claim over at present. The memberstates of ICON must condemn the aggressive actions of the CMESS. The Republic itself has made clear its objection to this expansion into Central Anatolia on the grounds that no semblance of self-determination has been extended to those cities, towns, and peoples and that their consent is paramount. The people must speak. To that end, the Republic of Porcu calls upon ICON to approve a peacekeeping force to be sent to Central Anatolia for the purposes of maintaining a peaceful, orderly, and neutral environment in which a proper, free, and fair referendum can be conducted on the question of whether those populations wish to join with the Confederacy of Mid East Socialist States. The proposal forwarded to this august body also includes terms relating to the immediate withdrawal of CMESS military forces to their current, internationally recognized borders. The composition of the aforementioned peacekeeping force is entirely open to discussion, as is the composition of the electoral officiating and oversight team. Failure to comply should be taken as a gross violation of the rights of the peoples of Free Anatolia, a brazen and dangerous disregard for international law, and grounds for the forceful protection of Central Anatolia from an expansionist CMESS. The Republic of Porcu formally requests the adoption of this proposal by ICON. Edited by Porcu, Mar 29 2013, 01:56 PM.

The Federation of East African Nations supports the creation of a peacekeeping force and again, calls for the government of the C.M.E.S.S. to agree to a democratic process in Anatolia. The people of the region deserve to have a voice in the process of this expansion. -Ambassador Alexander Keikura ____________________________________________________ Ambassador Vladimir Moskvitin of the Russian Empire was content to simply sit back and watch the other powers discuss the matter. The Russian Empire had already received interesting reports elsewhere in the former Empire and had attempted to approach the CMESS about it but had not yet been able to speak with them personally. Then an aid came into the hall and approached the Ambassador, whispering as the African Ambassador spoke. When he finished, Moskvitin rose from his seat. "The Russian Empire would like to question the integrity of the demands made by the Republic of Porcu" he said, a slight smirk on his face. "We have reason to believe the Republic call for referendums and peacekeepers in the East, we the international community should also look west." |

Aleksander Eugen Wratislaw von Mitrowitz, Ambassador to ICON " The Grand Duchy if Marslava believes that a referendum held in Central Anatolia would be the best way to proceed in order to decide the status of that territory. While we agree that the CMESS ought to hold a referendum, we would like to raise few points regarding the argument of the Porcuian delegation. The Porcuian delegation defines the CMESS expansion as a gross violation of international law. Such a definition relies on one hand on a principle of self-determination of every people and, on the other, on the notion that no violent territorial expansion is legal. On its own, Marslava agrees with these notions, however there is nothing in state practice which confirms that these are norms which have entered established international law. The behavior of Porcu itself, in the west, and of Marslava, in Sinop, prove this. Hence, while Marslava encourages the holding of a referendum and will not recognize the CMESS expansion immediately, it cannot approve for a peacekeeping force whose mandate would be based on the violation of norms which are not part of international law." |

The Porcuian Head Representative wasted no time in his response. "I'll begin with the Honorable Wratislaw von Mitrowitz and the issue he raised regarding the usage of the term 'international law'. Now, of course, there is little that can be firmly established as being law within the international realm. What was meant originally was that the terms within the proposal would become points of international law only once this proposal is approved and successfully passed. The current proposal calls for an immediate halt to military operations, a total withdrawal of military forces, and the commencement of a free and fair referendum. Failure to abide by these terms of the resolution would qualify, in my government's opinion, as a "brazen and dangerous disregard for international law". Admittedly, a better term may be more appropriate and we welcome our colleagues from Marslava to suggest an alteration in language. "Now, to the Honorable Moskvitin's point I have a couple of things to say. First, the circumstances under which former Romans find themselves currently in areas such as Gibraltar, Malta, and Syracuse are entirely different than those the peoples of Central Anatolia find themselves in. I have already contacted the Foreign Ministry in Stockholm in order to provide any interested ambassador the telegram correspondence between Stockholm and Constantinople, headed by Lord Aldebaran - a man who needs no further elaboration to my Russian colleagues. Unfortunately, Lord Aldebaran has gone missing and so his personal verification of the communication is not possible. Quickly, it was specifically requested by Constantinople that the chaos, instability, and terror sweeping across much of the Empire be abated and the Republic of Porcu was trusted enough by His Imperial Majesty to take a leading role in calming the waters. For example, peace and order reigns over Gibraltar, where for days soldiers and citizens were murdered, stripped, and tossed in the streets to rot under the sun. The Aeronautical Self-Defense Force maintains a presence in these areas where they were requested until such a time that, as in very much the case with Central Anatolia, a referendum as to the territories future can be determined by the local populace. The Russian Empire has supported the Republic in such matters before and seen Stockholm's unequivocal resolve to uphold a people's right to self-determination. Moscow knows our history in this regard and cannot in good faith equate recent actions of the Republic to the aggressive actions of the CMESS. |

"In recent weeks the armies of the Confederacy of Mid[dle] East[ern] Socialist States have pressed into Anatolia and occupied territory they have no legitimate claim over at present..." This statement is a fallacy, and the Middle Eastern Socialist States implores the other members if ICON to see this. The CMESS and Roman Empire agreed that the area de facto belonged the CMESS and the CMESS has policed the area for sometime. Multiple nation support the Confederate claim on Anatolia, including Aghaba and Marslava. The Republic of Porcu is meddling in international affairs in which it had no business, and is diverting from their own invasion of Gibraltar. The Porcuans will no doubt reject the occupation of Iberia as an invasion, but the definition states: "An invasion is a military offensive in which large parts of the armed forces of one geopolitical entity aggressively enter territory controlled by another such entity, generally with the objective of either conquering, liberating or re-establishing control or authority over a territory..." While it is true the CMESS annexation of Anatolia also fits this definition, the CMESS has a claim to the area, while Porcu does not. Furthermore, the CMESS cannot help but feel that Porcu's reason for wanting Gibraltar are both obvious and dastardly. The Republic of Porcu wants to control trade between the Mediterranean community and those outside the region. The Confederacy of Middle Eastern Socialist States refuses to hold an election not because we reject the democratic system or because of Civil Liberties, but because we must show that the World is not subject to Porcu's or any other European Country's whims. |

Kaarina Sirola shook her head with a sigh. "As usual, the capitalists are looking for something to stir up the pot to bring unfounded aggression against socialist nations. Yshurak has been reviewing the case and finds that CMESS has every legal right to expand into Anatolia. My country urges a dismissal of this matter." "Indeed," Hakar Ohmirzi said with a cold scowl. "In fact, the Sacred Holy Empire of Scythirus suggests that Porcu butts out of Middle Eastern affairs before something... unfortunate happens." "Now, there's no need for threats," Hakamichu Akuburu cautioned. "If the matters are truly as grave as Porcu claims, though, Kiru Tao is willing to act in the role of impartial mediary to discuss options that will lead to peaceful conclusions." |

After the Porcuian explanation, a sour expression came across Vladimir's face. Whether or not it was due to evidence that the Porcu could produce for their own expansion or for the simply fact that the Empire valued the Porcu above Russia for custodial charge of their lands was left undetermined. Then he heard the Scythrians speak and his attentioned turned... "An I suppose the Scythirian Empire proposes a repeat of the Georgian war?" Vladimir stated, his tone confrontational. "Shall the people of Anatolia suffer the same fate as the people of Georgia? All to appease the God-Emperor of Jihamed no doubt, who seems only to lust for war." |

Aleksander Eugen Wratislaw von Mitrowitz We are not here to talk about either Scytirus, nor Iberia. For this both the delegate from Russia and the delegate from Scytirus should calm down. The goal is here to find a solution which respects the sovereignty of the CMESS while safeguarding the Anatolians' so called right to self-determination. We are convinced that this can be reached through two solutions. The first one is that the CMESS hold a referendum in Anatolia on whether the people want to become part of the CMESS. This referendum would take place under the supervision of democratic and neutral states (perhaps Semitistan or the Federation of East German states). Another possibility would be the awarding of self-government, or autonomy, within the CMESS to Central Anatolia. The second option would guarantee the Anatolians' ability to exerce their rights to self-determination, while guaranteeing the respect for both the CMESS sovereignty and the agreements it signed with the Roman Empire and with Marslava.

Konrad von Leeb, the East German Ambassador to ICON, was eager to offer his nation's assistance. "The Federation of United East German States would be more than willing to oversee the implementation and adherence of this referendum in Anatolia. I believe I speak for most of us when I say that the people of Anatolia deserve a right to self-representation after years under Roman rule." ___________________________________________________________________________________________ After von Leeb had sat down Ziad Banni, the Whaladyan ICON Ambassador, interjected. "Forgive me, but am I the only one who believes this is a regional issue? The T.R.T Middle East could be a possible observer over this referendum, for the CMESS was originally a member and might be more inclined to co-operate with other Middle Eastern nations." |

"That is precisely my point!" Hakar stated after Ziad Banni finished. "The Europeans have no reason or cause to dictate policy in the Middle East." He glared at both the Russian and Marslavan delegates. "Your nations would do wisely to stay on their continent while the Middle East sorts this matter out in its own way. My nation has already recognized CMESS' expansion and the nations involved in the T.R.T. don't sound particularly opposed to it either, so now anything that flows from whatever the Middle Eastern nations decide is little more than a formality. "I caution this body that any further intervention from Western powers will result in grave consequences." |

Jurgen von Wahl, the newly appointed ambassador to ICON from the Baltic State stood up. It was his first ICON session, but he was determined to make his mark. "The Baltic State does not believe that any referendum is necessary. If the Anatolians have not raised up arms against the CMESS, they have given the only assent required. The Baltic State does not believe that governments are required to consult peasants over every minute act of state." |

"The Scythirian Empire would do well to practice what it professes in public" Vladimir retorted coldly. "The Georgian people were well cared for, were governed wisely, and never had an ill will against Russia. What right did the Scythirians have to interfere then?" |

"The CMESS and Roman Empire agreed that the area de facto belonged the CMESS and the CMESS has policed the area for sometime. Multiple nation support the Confederate claim on Anatolia, including Aghaba and Marslava." "The Greek Empire no longer exists and the foundations for such a claim are no longer present! Also, Marslava is a staunch supporter of a people's right to self-determination and I imagine that such support is conditional on a referendum, though I will allow the Honorable Ambassador to comment on that." Head Representative Decimus Iunius Postumius then turned his focus to the side chatter between long-time enemies Russia and Scythirus. "The issue at present is solely that of the Confederacy of Mid East Socialist States and her aggressive actions in Central Anatolia. I kindly ask that separate discussions are delayed for another session and that barbed remarks are held in check. "It is still incredible to hear that a mere referendum is being refused and that the peoples of Central Anatolia must contend themselves with an unsolicited occupation! It is incredible to hear that this august body will not allow itself even to verify the claims made by the CMESS government and that silence is preferred over a robust debate as to the future of the region. This cannot stand!" |

"With all due respect to my esteemed Porcuian counterpart" Vladimir retorted rather sarcastically, though still with some professionalism. "What I am arguing is quite to the point of this particular session of this esteemed international body. The Scythirians claims that the business of the Middle East is no concern of Europe. I ask then what business of the Scythirians was Russia's Georgian region?" "For it Anatolia is of no concern of ours" Vladimir continued, "then Georgia is no concern of theirs!" |

Wahl looked at the Russian with a smile that combined smugness and sadness. He was not sure entirely how to feel about Moskvitin. Moskivin's heart was surely in the right place, but the Russian seemed to believe in the absurd parliamentary forms of the assembly in which they sat. Wahl was not so naïve. He knew that the Georgia had been the Scythirians' concern because they had made it their concern. He took the opportunity to say so. "But Georgia was their concern, as the spilled blood of your race eternally testifies. If you truly wish to dispute that verdict, then the time must come when words will be put aside and plowshares will be beaten into swords. It is not through speeches and majority decisions that the great questions of the day be decided, but by iron and blood." Edited by Rhadamanthus, Apr 5 2013, 09:30 PM.

Konrad von Leeb was deeply troubled by von Wahl's rationale. As an ardent liberalitarian and pacifist, von Leeb strongly rejected any forms of unnecessary violence. Even though the Baltic German's contempt for the diplomatic proceeds the assembly adopted was obviously apparent, von Leeb still regarded the pen mightier than the sword. "With all due respect, I have to strongly disagree with my Baltic counterpart. We mustn't let harsh words and threats of war be the deciding and driving factors adopted by this assembly. Have we come to the point where we decide our problems with bloodshed? East Germany stands with Ambassador Postumius, this diverting of the matter at hand must stop, and the issue of referendum must be addressed." "If there is conflict between Sythirus and Russia" he continued, "let it be addressed after the issue in Anatolia and ,for the sake of millions of lives, make sure it is addressed, rather than fought out!"

"Of course Georgia was my nation's concern," Hakar Ohmirzi declared. "The independence of all Middle Eastern nations from European oppression and influence has always been our major objective. Throughout history, European powers have sought dominance and exploitation of everything they see and Scythirus will not allow that ever again in its neighboring regions. Russia claims that the Georgians were well cared for? Then why do they not ever seek to return to such rule? Even now, the Georgian political party friendliest to Russia's government is only a minority with the other parties just as, if not moreso, popular. Scythirus liberated Georgia and now it finally stands unified with free and open elections. "No, the European nations shall not bring their oppression to CMESS. Scythirus, if my God-Emperor commands it, will block any attempt by Porcu or Russia or Marslava or the Eastern German Federation or any of their neighbors from enacting any attempt to enforce a 'referendum' in CMESS' expansion to Anatolia. Scythirus would never sit idly by and allow such oppression to take place." "Yshurak finds merit in Scythirus' arguments and warns that it might put into place trade sanctions against any nation that tries to enforce a referendum in CMESS' new Anatolian province," Kaarina Sirola said firmly, neglecting to elaborate that the reason was that her nation was an ally of CMESS'.

"Let me make clear first that Russia stands neutral to the proposal brought before this body. The government of the CMESS claims to have sovereignty over the area in question by means of an agreement with the Roman Empire. Given we can neither confirm nor deny these claims, Russia will leave it up the people of Anatolia to decide. Much as our Baltic German colleagues suggested, if it is the will of the Anatolian people to be free of the CMESS, let them revolt." "Secondly, the Georgians have not sought to return to the Russian Empire because such an opportunity was forced from them or does my esteemed colleague forget the Guranburg Treaty? Russia was denied any contact with the Georgian people and they themselves, for fear of another war, were forced to stay away from us. I assure you, now that the Guranburg Treaty, a stain on the mark of all histories, has been finally cleansed the Georgian people will again remember their greatness under the Russian Empire and will seek union again." |

"And let senseless blood be spilled and scars inflicted on at least an entire generation?" the Porcuian Head Representative yelled. "Why must the peoples of Central Anatolia be forced to resort to violence when a quick and peaceful alternative is at hand? Or, as has already been suggested, perhaps they welcome the armies of the CMESS wholeheartedly, but let them be the ones to decide. Openly and clearly. "There must be a delegation here which draws no suspicion and can claim total neutrality in carrying out a free and fair referendum in Anatolia. The East Germans are welcome and have the support of the Republic." |

"We are greatly thankful for the nomination and support of the Porcuian Republic and Grand Duchy of Marslava." von Leeb stated. "However, If a strategy using a peacekeeping force is adopted by this assembly, the Federation requests that this is an international body, rather than solely an East German effort." "In order to eliminate any doubt in the true integrity of our cause, I request the inclusion of another neutral power to assist us. The Marslavans are trusted and respected by the Turks, plus they're experience in the country would be of great value." he concluded. |

Jurgen von Wahl was rather scornful toward all the suggestions of "peace" and "diplomacy": "No, my German kinsman, we have not reached the point where we decide our problems with bloodshed. We have not reached that point, because that is the only point, where we have always dwelled. There are no alternatives to the use of force in international politics. If a referendum is agreed upon, it will only be because the nations who demand a referendum are stronger than the ones who oppose it. If a referendum is held, it will simply force the will of a majority over the minority - the pragmatic reason for democracy is that the minority understands that on any bad day the majority could slaughter them at will. So they submit and plot to win another day. Your so-called peaceful methods are just finely tailored shrouds, covering the grim reality of the struggle for life. "If you truly wish to prevent the CMESS from imposing itself on Anatolia, then go to war. If not, then why waste the CMESS' time?" |

Konrad von Leeb was growing equally as impatient as von Wahl, but for very different reasons. Once again, the assembly was divided on the correct course of action and, moreover, tempers were flaring. "No, Ambassador von Wahl, I do not believe senseless conflict to be an effective solution to problems which can be simply addressed by diplomatic means. The CMESS claims to have right to the land without consulting the population directly; something which has the potential to throw the entire region into turmoil. Why not take preventative measures and implement referendum now? Any nation that claims to represent feedom for its people - which the CMESS wholeheartedly claims to do - would not even blink in implementing such a necessary measure." "It is not the job of the international community to bully its neighbors into adopting the laws of others, but as human beings we have the right - neigh the duty - to protect the natural rights allotted to all men under God and nature. No nation here wishes to force its will upon the CMESS, and the Confederacy may bypass any outside intervention by simply giving the peoples of Anatolia their right to free speech. A notion the CMESS was likely founded on itself." |

Wahl's eyes narrowed to a glare. With cold contempt, he studied Leeb. Though predisposed through long habit to treat his fellow Germans with respect, and even deference, the meaningless repetition of platitudes was testing his patience. What drove these fiendish Austrians? Was Leeb as transparent as he seemed? Or worse, did he honestly believe what he said? Tired, irritated, and somewhat bored, Wahl addressed the delegates once more. "There is nothing senseless about conflict" he announced, "For Man is not some herbivore to flee at the merest scent of a predator. Man is a proud beast of prey, lordly and predatory, constantly scanning his surroundings for new vistas to conquer. Man's very birth is accompanied by a mother's desperate struggle for life, and every moment of life is dominated by conflict - for life, for resources, for superiority. Conflict cannot be senseless because conflict is the only sense to our lives. War is the furnace in which history and character are shaped. I, you, and every man here stands proudly today only because he is descended from one thousand generations of victors in the struggle to survive and to propagate. "And just as there is nothing senseless about conflict, there is nothing simple about diplomacy. Had the CMESS wanted a referendum, it would have already held one. The purpose of this meeting is, thus, straightforward: to compel the CMESS to act against its will. Thus, so-called diplomacy is naught but an act of power. The same struggle, the same conflict, lies under your pretty words and my realistic view of the world. Furthermore, it is absurd to talk about referendum as a 'preventative measure' against turmoil. The CMESS' actions have caused no turmoil in the Middle East - the only turmoil is among the self-declared arbiters at this assembly. If the CMESS has no right to impose its government on the people of Anatolia, what right do you, who have achieved no conquests, have to impose democratic referendums on the CMESS? And what of the turmoil that will be unleashed should you oh-so-virtuous democratic powers get your referendum, the turmoil unleashed by Scythirus? Have not the Scythirians made it exceptionally clear what their reaction will be? A part of me almost hopes that you do go through with this absurd plan just so I can watch your children face down a Scythirian artillery barrage. "You say that no nation wants to force its will on the CMESS but, if not, then what purpose is there to this assembly? To say that the CMESS can bypass outside intervention is, implicitly, to threaten outside intervention. So, the CMESS can bypass outside intervention by itself doing what the outside interveners demand. What is that if not forcing their will on the CMESS? The 'diplomacy' that you advocate is the same old conflict that you deplore. I do not understand why you insist on pretending otherwise. "As for states that claim to represent freedom for their people - only children and imbeciles believe such claims. The purpose of a state is to govern, and to provide great statesmen a platform upon which to influence world affairs. Freedom exists only for those who fight for it." Wahl's speech had become heated, but at the end of that speech, he returned to his usual calm tone. "And thus, Ambassador von Leeb," he concluded, "I do not see your diplomacy and referendums as anything other than ineffectual proxies for warfare. If the CMESS accepts a referendum, it will mean nothing more than its own military conquest of Central Anatolia - that the weak are forced to bow before the strong." |

Ambassador von Leeb grew increasingly more irate as Wahl's speech became more aggressive. When the Baltic gentlemen resorted to wishing death and destruction upon von Leeb's children the urge to cross the assembly floor and strangle the man was hard to subdue. Thankfully, the Austrian ambassador was a cool and calculated man and he was quick to deduce that any diplomat who would threaten the lives of another diplomat's children was likely to be viewed rather negatively by the assembly. Also tired, and rather disappointed, von Leeb addressed the assembly one last time. "Ambassador von Wahl," he began, "I hope there comes a day when you learn the terrible ramifications of your willingness to choose warfare as an end to all means. Although there is much I wish to say to you, I do not wish to waste anymore of this assembly's time with a debate on the distinctions between warfare and diplomacy. Quite frankly, I do not wish to resume talking to you any longer than I already have. You have exhibited traits which bring me to feelings of great fear for the future direction of international affairs." "You criticize the implementation of referendum and the accompanying rights of free speech for all men, whilst also branding its supporters as secretly propagating an agenda akin to warfare and the forcing of our will upon the CMESS. You could not be more misinformed or ignorant to our support of such measures. We supportive nations of referendum do so because it is morally right; because all suitable men share the unalienable right to voice their opinions regarding the state from which under they survive and ultimately benefit. Whether you regard this right applicable to all men or not means absolutely nothing, for all men posses it upon their birth and are allotted the protection it provides indefinitely. What is currently adopted by the CMESS in Anatolia is criminal and a blatant violation of these rights." "We, the supporters of referendum, do not believe our insistence on such measures are proxy declarations of conflict; rather they have existed from the beginning as peacekeeping operations and observatory commissions with the sole purpose of protecting natural human rights. Not once have we threatened warfare upon the CMESS or any other nation, a notion which has remained a prime insistence of you yourself, Ambassador von Wahl, and your comrades from Sythirus. Furthermore, I find your claim that states which represent freedom for its people are mere fantasy to be close minded and clear indication of your nation's inability to represent its people properly. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that nations such as the Baltic State and Sythirus would neglect measures to grant these rights to another people when they neglect to warrant them to their own." "When this issue was first addressed I had full confidence that the nations of this assembly would be in earnest to protect the natural rights many of us in this room hold dear. I am appalled at what I have observed here, and minus a few nations, the mass of this body should be ashamed. Perhaps I was wrong to put my confidence in this body of esteemed and cultured men of the world. Perhaps the world is not ready to progress out of the dark ages just yet...." With that last statement von Leeb and the other delegates of the East German delegation gathered their things and proceeded to exit the assembly hall. The exodus of the Austrians caused quite a stir in the assembly room as multiple delegates of many nations began arguing among one another. On his way up the stairs, von Leeb gave a look of dissatisfaction to the Porcuian ambassador whilst shaking the man's hand. |
