Resolution on Fydoria

Alexia Lascari,
ME for Psyakros

Alexia listened to her Environmentalist colleague criticize the bill very publicly and quite harshly. Not really what you would expect or hope for from a coalition partner. His sentiments about the nature of the condemnation was relatively sound, though this is certainly the kind of conversation that should have been had behind closed doors so as to present a unified front from the government. Nonetheless it would be ignorant to think that the statements by Mr. Argryis were inherently wrong. The amendment itself was a lie. Arizixilega's government had indeed asked for intervention from Fydoria and as such Fydoria was not in violation of Sovereignty or International Law. For their intervention at least, however the way the civil conflict was being waged was absolutely abhorrent and no civilized society could sit by and just allow this to continue unabated. 

As such the Liberal Alliance had briefly designed a simple amendment. Some words were being changed to exclude the bits about international law and Arizixilega's sovereignty being broken while maintaining the condemnation of the unilateral intervention by Fydoria and the atrocities being committed. Upon getting the final touches on the amendment Alexia stood before the chamber and spoke, "On behalf of the Liberal Alliance, I, Alexia Lascari do hereby propose the following amendment to the Prime Minister's resolution.

Amendment II

Article and Title: Preambulatory Clause III

Currently Reads As: Whereas Fydoria has engaged in unacceptable military intervention in Arizixilega, violating the tenets of national sovereignty and international law;

Proposed Amendment: Whereas Fydoria has engaged in unacceptable unilateral military intervention in Arizixilega, violating the established international precedents of multilateral intervention;

Rationale: Would acknowledge that Fydoria has intervened at the behest of the Arizixilega government while also acknowledging that the established precedents on the international stage are for a multilateral approach to such crises.

Article and Title: Operative Clause I

Currently Reads As: The intervention of Fydoria into the internal affairs of Arizixilega is a flagrant violation of international law and runs contrary to the values upheld by Selene and the Artemian Union.

Proposed Amendment: Removing the Clause completely

Rationale: While the acts by Fydoria are contrary to hte values upheld by Selene and the Artemian Union, the Fydorian intervention is not in violation of international law as they were asked to help by the legitimate Arizixilegan government.

Presented by: the Honorable, Alexia Lascari

Alexia then decided to add a bit of a speech to explain the general LA rationale behind the amendment. "While the Liberal Alliance supports the Prime Minister and the government, we wish to have the resolution clarified to remove the portions about international law and sovereignty. As it stands Fydoria is intervening in Arizixilega at the behest of the legitimate government there. I share the same sentiments as the Prime Minister that this intervention is concerning. This intervention is also exacerbating the crisis and causing suffering on a large scale for the people there." She took a breath before continuing on, "As such we hope the Prime Minister and the Selenids United Party choose to endorse this amendment so that the Liberal Alliance can thus support the Resolution in full and without reservations. Thank you." She said taking her seat. This was not something she wished would have occurred but she could not in good faith and conscious support the amendment as it stood.
