Prologue:

This resolution will approve the relocation and construction of the World Alliance Security Council's Chambers.

Section 1: The neutral territory of Atlantis shall be the location of the World Alliance Security Council Chambers also known as the "WASC Headquarters" or "WASC HQ".

Section 2: Entrance into the World Alliance Security Council Chambers is permitted to members of the Security Council, authorized contractors, World Alliance Peacekeeping Forces, guest speakers summoned by a member nation of the Security Council, and any other persons who have gained the proper security clearances from their home nation.

Sub-Section 2.1: According to the Freedom of Speech Law, non-member nations of the World Alliance Security Council are permitted to participate in Security Council discussions. Non-members of the World Alliance Security Council will not be permitted into the Chambers, however to maintain compliance, upon the request of the non-member nation, they may partake in Security Council discussions via a form of VOIP or video messaging.

OOC: No request will be required, simply post in the thread of whichever discussion you wish to partake in. Sub-Section 2.1 is simply for role-play purposes.

Any excess funding shall be placed in an account administered by the President of the World Alliance Security Council specifically for future upgrades to the Chambers, payroll for the WAPF, and general maintenance on the premises.

Section 7: The World Alliance Security Council Chambers in Moscow, Great Eurussia, shall be designated as an official museum, archival, and research center. This center shall be named, "Center of the World Alliance Government".

Sub-Section 7.1: The Center of the World Alliance Government shall be open to all citizens and diplomats granted they possess the proper security clearance for educational and research purposes as administered by the Security Council.

The Eurussian Government is concerned on the hasty movements of our fellow member states before the Security Council on the matter involving the headquarters of the Security Council. We believe that there is not enough discussion on the matter as several parties immediately brought up different and conflicting proposals showing the divisiveness of the matter. We have already made our position on this matter, HERE.

And since a proposal has been submitted to the floor, we believe that it is imperative we issue a new statement based on the proposal at hand. We were not able to make our position on the proposed choice of location of the proposed new headquarters of the Security Council which is the proposed Mnemosyne Neutral Territory, established by the WA Neutral Territories Act authored by the Eurussian Government. And for that matter, our government is not convinced that Mnemosyne Neutral Territory serves as an acceptable new location of the headquarters of the Security Council. We are deeply concerned that despite having no compelling reason to change the seat of the Security Council, the matter has become a political issue for some of our fellow member states which should have achieved a common consensus from all, if not, at the very least, most members of the international community and not just a simple majority. Henceforth, having made it clear that Eurussia is neither for nor against the change of location of the Security Council, our government is compelled to make a dignified position on this sensitive matter.

Hence, Eurussia urges our fellow member states to achieve a common consensus first so there will be at least a united front within the Security Council, on the matter at hand. And furthermore, on the basis of the proposal at hand, Eurussia is not convinced of the viability of Mnemosyne Neutral Territory as the new location of the headquarters of the Security Council, thus, we urge for further discussions among the members of the international community. Hence, Eurussia votes against the proposal.

In favour.

I.S.I.S Thu Dec 24, 2015 9:17 pm

Why the hase to submit this relocation proposal when the discussion is not yet finish? Why did you lock up the thread Scouting? Is this something urgent? I am definitely against.

Snarfian Federation Fri Dec 25, 2015 6:43 am

Having seen all the arguments on this thread i'm calling an Abstain for Snarfia.

As I have said before, I don't think Mnemosyn is the center of regional map so the WAsc chambers should not be there. It should be in my continent polynesia it is the safest and peaeceful. So No for now

So you think Mnemosyne is not the center, though you think Polynesia is? It's further from the center. Safety and peacefulness is a non-factor as any forms of violence is strictly prohibited in all neutral territories. I urge you to reconsider this proposal. If you want the WASC Chambers out of Eurussia, this is the proposal to support.

Serenarea Fri Dec 25, 2015 11:01 am

Serenarea is in FAVOR.

Even if safety was an issue, which it's not as Mnemosyne has never been embroiled in any conflict (at least as long as I've been here), how is Polynesia any safer or any more peaceful if you keep striving to create conflict with Eurussia every chance you get?

Eurussia is in favor.

Togana Sat Dec 26, 2015 3:23 pm

While I still will keep my vote for, as its a better situation then the current setup, I am not in support of the new location.

I still feel that the earlier location was the better choice as the current one still gives of the vibe that it can be controlled by Eurussia as it is a small island surrounded by it. While we can all agree that EU has done great things for this region, a new time has dawned and we need to set ourselves apart for the past. While I have no issues with the current EU still feel that its location being surrounded can be intimidating to other nations who dont agree with them; and maybe even push out passing nations when the see the location surrounded on the map. We can all agree that we want as many member nations contributing to this nation as we can get. I ask my fellow world leaders to change their minds as we want to build this region to be the best it can possibly be.

Eurussia I ask of you to please support the first proposal, after all the island is still not far away; If we move we can only do it once. Your advice and vote will still be needed and you will still be thought of as an equal and valued partner on the World Alliance scene, but we need all to think ahead on this issue.

Muchos Estados Unidos Sun Dec 27, 2015 12:36 am

MEU is in favor.

Eurussia condemns the irresponsible, baseless, unfounded statements of the Togana Government for implying that Eurussia utilizes coercion and intimidation.

For the record, the Atlantis Neutral Territory in the Atlantis is an international territory sanctioned by the Security Council, the same as with all the other twelve neutral territories in other continents of the world, by virtue of the WA Neutral Territories Act, authored by the Eurussian Government. Furthermore, all land territories throughout the world can enjoy their own territorial waters and territorial airspace sanctioned by the Security Council by virtue of the WA Territorial Waters Act, also authored by the Eurussian Government. And on the same note, all territorial lands regardless of how near they are with each other possesses international waters and international airspace between them ensuring freedom of navigation and innocent passage for all vessels and aircraft by all sovereign states of the world by virtue of the same cited international law. We issued this statement for the information of the Togana Government.

Also, as the major contributor to the establishment of the WA Neutral Territories Act, as we can all conclude, that all neutral territories are small islands, either surrounded by large bodies of waters or by huge landmasses and at the same time, strategically located in every single continent of the world for all various purposes. We further reiterate that these 'small islands' or officially Neutral Territories of the World Alliance, may be small geographically and seem insignificant compared to their neighboring sovereign states, these 'small islands' carries the weight of the world as globally protected 'small islands' via international laws.

Therefore, the Republic of Togana can bet and predict that Eurussia intends to spark a world war of a global scale if the Eurussian Armed Forces intends to invade, take control and steps-on these 'small islands' as they are capable of doing so in a blink of an eye, anytime, anywhere, at will. Eurussia also bet that the Togana Government is prepared to face the same scenario as it can imagine such being done by the Eurussian Empire.

Again, we condemn such statements.

UnitedStatesOfScouting Sun Dec 27, 2015 3:27 pm

This resolution may now be voted on for two days.

Togana Tue Dec 29, 2015 5:29 pm

I never stated that you would cause any problems for the new location. I simply stated that it MIGHT seem that way to some people who don't like your nation or are new and don't know your nation. I never said anything to condemn you, I simply asked you to support the other location for the better of the region.

Togana changes its vote to against and pulls all our funding from proposal.

UnitedStatesOfScouting Tue Dec 29, 2015 5:59 pm

With 8 out of 11 voting members favoring, this resolution hereby passes.

Congratulations to the territory of Atlantis on housing the new WASC HQ!
