To: The Honorable Delegation of Tamazgha, Commonwealth of Tamazgha
From: The Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the United Assembly of Nations, Ambassador Emma Cartwright
Subject: Reflections on Recent UAN Resolution Vote

Dear Colleagues,

I trust this message finds you well. I write to you today concerning the recent vote on the resolution regarding the status of Sakhalin Island, in which Tamazgha voted in favor. The United Kingdom, as you are aware, expressed a strong objection to this resolution, which we believe sets a concerning precedent for international relations and the interpretation of historical treaties.

Our objection stems from a firm belief in the importance of upholding international law and the norms that govern peaceful resolutions. The resolution, in our view, promotes a revisionist interpretation that could destabilize longstanding international agreements and boundaries.

I must express a specific concern relating to our shared interests in Ceuta. As you know, Ceuta is under British administration but enjoys a unique status with a Joint Council that includes representation from Tamazgha. Our cooperation in this council is a testament to our mutual commitment to dialogue and respect for existing agreements.

The United Kingdom values its relationship with Tamazgha and has always appreciated our constructive dialogue on various international platforms, including our collaborative governance of Ceuta. We believe that our joint efforts in Ceuta could serve as a model for peaceful dispute resolution and cooperation. However, the precedent set by endorsing the Sakhalin resolution could potentially complicate our shared interests and the delicate balance we maintain in Ceuta.

We hope to continue our dialogue on this matter and ensure that our future engagements at the United Assembly of Nations reflect our shared values and commitments to international stability and cooperation.

Thank you for considering these perspectives. I look forward to your response and to continuing our valuable collaboration.

Warm regards,

Emma Cartwright
Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the United Assembly of Nations

Draft Legislation: Proposal to Suspend the Membership of the Democratic Republic of Dniesteria in the United Assembly of Nations (UAN)

Preamble:

WHEREAS, the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Assembly of Nations (UAN) include the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence of all member states;

WHEREAS, the recent referendum held in the Democratic Republic of Dniesteria concerning its accession to the Russian Federation raises significant concerns regarding the autonomy and voluntariness of this action;

WHEREAS, the rapid and unilateral nature of this referendum and subsequent actions toward accession may not reflect the true will of the Dniesterian people, thus potentially undermining the democratic processes and principles of self-determination;

WHEREAS, the accession of Dniesteria to the Russian Federation under these circumstances could set a precedent that threatens the stability and integrity of international law and order as upheld by the UAN;

BE IT ENACTED by the General Assembly of the United Assembly of Nations:

• The membership of the Democratic Republic of Dniesteria in the United Assembly of Nations is hereby suspended, effective immediately.

• This suspension will remain in effect until a comprehensive investigation is conducted into the circumstances surrounding the recent referendum and its compliance with international law and the principles of the UAN Charter.

• A special committee shall be formed to oversee this investigation and report its findings to the General Assembly within six months from the date of suspension.

• Pending the outcome of the investigation and subsequent deliberations by the General Assembly, steps shall be taken to ensure that the rights and welfare of the Dniesterian population are safeguarded.

• This legislation mandates the Secretary-General of the UAN to implement these actions and provide regular updates to the General Assembly.

Draft Legislation: Proposal to Suspend the Membership of the Democratic Republic of Dniesteria in the United Assembly of Nations (UAN)

Response to the United Kingdom's UAN proposal to suspend Dniesteria's membership

The recent proposal to suspend Dniesteria's membership of the UAN compels a critical examination of the United Kingdom's historical stance on self-determination and sovereignty. Despite verbal affirmations of these principles, the United Kingdom's imperialist past paints a contrasting picture of exploitation and dominance.

Throughout history, the United Kingdom's imperialist policies have often disregarded the sovereignty and rights of indigenous peoples in the territories it sought to control. The acquisition of colonies was frequently marked by coercion, manipulation, and outright violence, undermining the very principles of territorial integrity and autonomy that the United Kingdom claims to uphold.

Moreover, the timing of the United Kingdom's engagement with decolonization post-World War II raises suspicions. It appears less a genuine commitment to the principles of self-rule and more a strategic retreat in the face of shifting global dynamics. The relinquishment of colonies and holdings seems less about respect for sovereignty and more about an acknowledgment of the untenable nature of imperialist ambitions in the modern era.

In the face of the United Kingdom's attempt to once again undermine the sovereignty of a nation and its people, it would be wise of the United Kingdom to reflect on its own history and the lasting ramifications of its imperialist past. A sincere dedication to self-determination and sovereignty necessitates more than mere rhetoric; it demands a reckoning with past transgressions and a genuine respect for the autonomy of all nations, regardless of size or power.

Catastrophic floods hit Rio Grande do Sul, killing 100 and displacing 400,000

Streets remain underwater 3 weeks in as millions reel from the worst flooding in 80 years

Antônio Garcia Maia
Luciano Rosa Belchior
Joaquim Melo Leite

Catastrophic floods have struck the state of Rio Grande do Sul, killing approximately 140 people and displacing nearly 4% of the local population.

Most of the damage is concentrated around Greater Porto Alegre, a clump of 34 municipalities containing 4 million people bordering numerous rivers and the Lagoa dos Patos. Torrential rainfall has caused water levels to rise dramatically, leading to widespread landfalls, tree collapses, and approximately $19 billion reals in damage.

The weather has since calmed, but the water - in some areas reaching up to 1.7 meters in height - remains. And the presence of more rain over the weekend threatens to exacerbate the situation.

Three naval vessels, including a helicopter carrier, are currently involved in search and rescue efforts, while the Air Force airdrops food and water to inaccessible communities with the aid of civilian volunteers. The total number of boots on the ground currently stands at 12,000.

The Brazilian Restoration and Salvation Council (BRSC) has also disbursed roughly $51 billion reals to support welfare recipients, local governments, workers, and affected businesses, followed by a $66 billion real top-off from the state-owned Caixa Econômica Federal.

The floods coincide with the manmade blackouts in Roraima, creating a double whammy which threatens to stretch the BRSC's resources thin amidst a decade of austerity. The abrupt empowerment of the states and disempowerment of the federal government has created the perfect storm: the former had no time to expand its capacities, and the latter less resources to work with. Neither levels of government were therefore prepared to respond to such crises of magnitude, let alone two concurrent ones.

Despite these shortfalls, most of the afflicted remain optimistic that they can rebuild, thanks to an outpouring of support and donations which affirm the solidarity and resilience of Brazilians in times of emergency.

From the Ambassador of Iran to Brazil, Bahamin Porbandarwala

To the people of Brazil,

I mourn for the recent floods in Rio Grande do Sul that have struck the wonderful Brazilian earth. Iran has been subject to similar floods recently of diasasterous proportions as well. Due to our own internal problems and floods, the Iranian government is unable to provide support to the people of Brazil. However, the people of Iran mourn for those lives lost in this disaster. We pray for the health, recovery, and safety of the people of Brazil in these trying times.

With my most sincere condolences,

Ms. Bahamin Porbandarwala

Oramos pela saúde, recuperação e segurança do povo do Brasil nestes tempos difíceis.

Com minhas mais sinceras condolências,

_{Asian community breaks into jubilation over Hirohito's death}

_{Upon hearing the news of the death of the late Japanese Emperor Hirohito, many Asians took to the streets of their communities to celebrate: from rural communities in the Yukonia Han Country partaking in humble, tight-knit gatherings to an overwhelming turnout of 100,000+ people marching from Yelizovo's Chinatown to City Centre to the tune of party music, alcohol and a passionate hate for the Japanese government, there is no shortage of euphoric feelings felt in the majority of Zeleniya's Asian community.}

_{Speaking before a crowd in Yelizovo, chairwoman of the Yelizovo State University Chapter of Students for Justice in Taiwan and second-generation Chinese-Zeleniyan Anna Zhao remarked that "Pigohito's" death is among one of the "greatest things to have ever happened in the advancement of humanity," remarking that "his perseverative reign as the Emperor of a brutal colonialist project" is not only an affront to her elders (of whom she portrays during her speech photos of them being severely maimed as Chinese POW's of Japan during WW2) but a "greater affront to the dignity of humanity." Accusing the Zeleniyan Government of being "complicit in the systemic genocide and ethnic cleansing of peoples" in Taiwan and throughout Japanese-controlled Asia, she and other activists are demanding that the Zeleniyan Government "get on the right side of history" and to condemn the "occupation of Taiwan." After her speech and others which have proven to be powerful among the crowd, the activists of SJT led the massive celebratory march.}

_{In another example of jubilation over the death of the Emperor, the politically divided Chinese diaspora, intensively split between Republican and Monarchist sympathizers, banded together to celebrate the death of Hirohito in an extraordinarily rare act of unity. In the Chinatown's of Yelizovo, Alexandropol, Suvorovo, Nizhny Nikopol and throughout Han Country, crowds of Chinese diaspora and Chinese Zeleniyans waving both Kuomintang and Qing Dynasty flags were joined together in celebration.}

_{Conversely, several Japanese communities in Zeleniya, while still polarized over the legacy of Japanese imperialism and Zeleniya's involvement in the Taiwan War, took to subtle and quiet mourning to celebrate the life of Hirohito. Japanese in Yelizovo took part in a quiet memorial to Hirohito in front of the Japanese Embassy in Yelizovo's Japantown. Due to the overwhelming nearby presence of the celebratory march, this memorial was done under the overwhelming protection of over a hundred police officers lining the perimeter of Japantown.}

_{Reactions to the celebrations were mixed, with Yelizovo Duma deputy Alexandra Chiang calling them a "spectacle of Asian Unity" and President Felix Karadov vaguely remarking that they were "paramount in size." The reactions from others such as the Presidential candidates of the upcoming election ranged from Guilder Party's Thomas Varinsky saying that they were "outright disrespectful" and the Social Democratic Party's Bernard Yagamov saying they were "absolutely necessary."}

_{Much of the Asian community in Zeleniya, which includes generations of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino and other East Asian immigrants and their descendants, make up 1/3rd of the population in Zeleniya and are significantly united in their resentment of the Japanese Government. Much of this is rooted in the experiences of the past three generations of Asian immigrants, many of whom were refugees of World War II and children/descendants of victims of Japanese atrocities who bring to Zeleniya stories of Japanese crimes against humanity. Whereas these stories are not as well-spoken in the US (in which they are considered to be second-nature to German crimes against humanity), they have found a place in Zeleniyan discussion circles. Spirited activist movements such as the Students for Justice in Taiwan, which was established in 1974 amid Zeleniya's involvement in the Taiwan Crisis, amplified and cemented them as cornerstones of Asian-Zeleniyan political consciousness. According to a recent poll by the Asian Studies Network, over 80% of Asian-Zeleniyans share "strong resentment" against Hirohito and 82% agree that the Zeleniya must "divest from Japanese companies partaking in the exploitation of Taiwan."}

_{Amid the overbearing resentment Asian-Zeleniyans have against Japan manifesting in these large-scale celebrations, a Spokesperson from the Krepost speaking on behalf of the President stated to the press that "Zeleniya and Japan continue to share an ironclad, strong relationship diplomatically, militarily and culturally."}

_{Supreme Constitutional Court Rules in Favor of President Saad}

_{𝗖𝗔𝗜𝗥𝗢, 𝗘𝗚𝗬𝗣𝗧 ― The Supreme Constitutional Court has reached a landmark decision regarding the legal challenge brought forth by the Party for Socialist Action against President Nabil Yassin Saad. In a ruling that has significant implications for Egypt, the Court deliberated on whether President Saad's actions breached constitutional boundaries by encroaching upon the domain traditionally reserved for the prime minister.}

_{At the heart of the matter was President Saad's ambitious 5-year plan, which outlines substantial investments in infrastructure development and introduces incentives aimed at bolstering industrial sectors. The Party for Socialist Action had contended that these initiatives exceeded the President's authority, infringing upon the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution. The Supreme Constitutional Court delivered its verdict, affirming President Saad's prerogative to pursue the proposed economic agenda. In its ruling, the Court emphasized the flexibility inherent in interpreting constitutional provisions to accommodate evolving societal needs and challenges.}

_{Reacting to the Court's decision, spokesperson Fatima Abdel Rahim reiterated the Party's commitment to constitutional principles but expressed disappointment with the ruling. "While we respect the Court's authority, we maintain that the Constitution contains no clauses that expressly back the ruling," she stated, hinting at a potential appeal or further legal action by the Party. Rahim further emphasized the Party's rejection of the ruling, stating, "We believe the Court's decision undermines the principles of checks and balances enshrined in our Constitution. President Saad's economic agenda represents a dangerous consolidation of power within the presidency, and we will continue to oppose any attempts to erode the separation of powers."}

_{On the other hand, supporters of the President hailed the Court's ruling as a validation of the government's commitment to driving economic growth and prosperity. Emphasizing the importance of the initiatives outlined in the 5-year plan, proponents highlighted their potential to stimulate job creation, attract investment, and enhance the quality of life for all Egyptians. The Saad administration refrained from issuing an official response to the Court's ruling, choosing instead to focus on implementing the economic agenda outlined in the 5-year plan. With the legal challenge now behind them, the government is poised to move forward with its vision.}

Ladies and gentlemen,

Today, I address you with a profound sense of responsibility and relief, as we reflect on the recent decision of this assembly to reject the resolution concerning the status of Sakhalin Island. This decision marks not merely a procedural victory but a substantive affirmation of the principles that guide us: the respect for established international treaties, the integrity of sovereign nations, and the necessity of genuine, unfettered dialogue in resolving disputes.

The resolution in question sought to challenge the outcomes of historical agreements under the guise of rectifying past injustices. While it is our duty to ensure justice and fairness, it is equally our responsibility to uphold the sanctity of international law and the agreements that have been reached through diplomatic processes. The United Kingdom firmly believes that any reconsideration of such agreements must be approached with caution, fairness, and mutual respect.

This assembly's decision to defeat the resolution is a testament to our collective commitment to these principles. It is a recognition that altering the status of territories based on selective historical interpretation can set dangerous precedents, destabilizing regions and reversing the course of peaceful international relations.

The United Kingdom commends all member states that stood by these tenets, choosing to foster stability and peace over revisiting concluded matters in a manner that could sow discord. We reaffirm our dedication to working with all nations, including both Russia and Japan, to encourage ongoing dialogue and to seek resolutions that are mutually agreeable and founded on respect for international law. However, what Russia sought is completely in disregard to what the UAN stands for. For now, this fortress of international law remains despite the efforts made by some of its members.

Let us take this moment to recommit ourselves to the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the peaceful resolution of disputes. Let us continue to seek paths that lead to constructive dialogue and reconciliation, rather than those that revisit and potentially unravel the delicate tapestry of international relations.
Thank you.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Japanese Statement based on recent UAN Resolution

Japan commends all nations who voted to reject Russia’s resolution and upheld the institutional values of the UAN and also international law. Countries can’t just nullify treaties all willingly and what’s the basis of treaties if countries can just reject them?

The Japanese people have lived on the island of Karafuto since the 17th century and controlling most of the island in the 18th century which predates Russian settlements. Japan further re-affirmed its sovereignty in 1807 and 1809 with the island becoming an extension of Hokkaido both geographically and culturally.

In the 19th century, Russia expanded in the Far East and threaten Japanese territorial control of the island. Japan again proclaimed its sovereignty over the island in 1845 against competing Russian claims but in 1849, Russian settlers came establishing schools, towns, etc.

Due to the threat of Russian settlers and Japan still in a period of isolation under the Edo period and not accustomed to international law which was established by European Powers was forced to sign the Treaty of Shimoda which established Japanese control in the South and Russian control in the North. Russia disregarded the already signed treaty and push their settlers further South and pushing the already existing Japanese out of their homes where they have been living for hundred plus years.

In 1875, Japan was forced to sign the Treaty of St. Petersburg which gave Russia the island of Karafuto. Japan at the time was coming out of a period of isolation and was in the beginning stages of a transfer of power under the Emperor Meiji, which Russia took advantage of, and Japan was unable to exercise its full sovereignty.

During the Russian period from 1875-1905, Russia used Karafuto as a penal colony for prisoners and political dissidents. The island was also known for its high levels of corruption form its ruling Russian bureaucrats.

In 1904, war broke out between Russia and Japan with Japan reaching out to Russia multiple times for an armistice. But Russia refused and Japan liberated the island of Karafuto and put it back under Japanese control. The United States reached out to Russia and Japan to negotiate a treaty which both parties agreed to.

The treaty also forced Russia to end its expansionist policies in the Far East. At the end of the war, Japan was on the veer of bankruptcy, but Japan allowed Russia not to pay any monetary compensation to Japan.

The Russo-Japanese War also established Japan as one of the first Asian countries to defeat a European Great Power and many people were shocked by Japan’s victory. Japan rose to great prestige as the result of the war and was now considered on-par with European powers.

Furthermore, Japan is a nation of peace, and wants to have cordial relations with Russia. Japan resorted to peace when Russia flew a nuclear-capable bomber into Japanese air space.

Japan has extended a formal invitation to Russia to have talks regarding Russo-Japanese relations with the annexation of Karafuto to Russia or joint administration being off the table and non-negotiable terms. Japan is willing for this to be overseen by a third party with the third party being agreed on by both Russia and Japan which shall offer solutions based on the acceptance of both parties.

_{Update on Clandestine Operations in The United British Kingdom}

_{Mr. President,}

_{The General Intelligence Service has been actively engaged in gathering intelligence to safeguard the national security and interests of Greater Egypt. Recent efforts have focused on monitoring foreign activities, particularly those involving The United British Kingdom, in light of developments related to the former royal family and potential external interference in Egypt's internal affairs.}

_{Our foreign agents have uncovered evidence indicating the presence of British agents within the local government of Alexandria. While the specific identities of these agents remain unknown at present, their presence suggests a concerted effort by The United British Kingdom to gather intelligence about the House of Amin at the local level. Further investigation is warranted to identify and neutralize these agents to prevent any potential sabotage or subversion of Egyptian interests.}

_{Additionally, our spies have obtained information regarding old plans drafted by British authorities for the rescue of the House of Amin if the coup d'état of 2024 escalated into armed conflict. These plans indicated a premeditated strategy by The United British Kingdom to intervene in Egypt's internal affairs and extract the royal family from potential danger. While the coup did not escalate into armed conflict as envisaged in these plans, the existence of such contingency measures underscores the need for heightened vigilance and proactive measures to counter external interference from The United British Kingdom.}

_{The General Intelligence Service has requested that the National Security Service initiate a targeted investigation to identify and apprehend British agents operating within Alexandria. Intelligence assets and law enforcement agencies will be utilized to gather actionable intelligence and disrupt their activities. Surveillance efforts on British diplomatic missions, intelligence agents, and affiliated entities within Egypt will also be introduced to prevent any future attempt to interfere in our internal affairs.}

_{The information collected by our foreign spies highlights the ongoing threat posed by foreign actors seeking to manipulate and influence internal affairs in Egypt. Proactive measures will be taken to identify and neutralize foreign agents operating within our territory and to safeguard against future attempts at interference. The General Intelligence Service remains vigilant in its efforts to protect the State's sovereignty, security, and national interests.}
