Colleagues,

The last few weeks have shaken our region and this very organisation. I will start by stating my disapproval of the premature invasion of N&GB. The Vimmru-Nicholas meeting should have been allowed to conclude, which would have provided this assembly with vital information. From the meeting it is evident that this organisation would have been able to exercise real pressure on Nicholas' regime, before considering an armed intervention. Had it come to us deciding to take up arms, it is likely it would have been acceptable to all of us. Instead we are now a fractured organisation and regional unrest is increasing.

There must be a time to correct and punish transgressions, but that is not now.

Regardless of whether we approve of it or not, Izaakia and fellow combatants are in the middle of a so-far successful invasion of N&GB. It is time we discussed what comes after. We must ensure that once the smoke settles, the peoples living in N&GB have food, clean water and medicine. The minorities must be protected from violence. We must also ensure that those who invade the nation do not stay permanently. The WF should be ready to send humanitarian aid and peacekeepers, and authority over N&GB territory must be transferred to the WF or other appropriate powers until a stable native government can assume control.

I therefore propose the following:

Quote:Resolution on post-war N&GB and the establishment of a Department of Peace Operations

Section A - Interim Administration of N&GB
1. The territory of N&GB shall be placed under interim administration headed by a Special Representative appointed by the Assembly with the following responsibilities:
1a. Police and justice
1b. Civil administration
1c. Democratization and institution building
1d. Reconstruction and economic development
2. The Interim Administration shall function as the government of N&GB
3. The Interim Administration shall receive personnel and resources from the WF Committees
4. The Interim Administration shall phase itself out and shall when possible leave responsibilities to local authorities. A general election shall be held four years after the establishment of the Interim Administration to form a native government, which shall draft a new constitution for the nation.

Section B - Department of Peace Operations
1. No later than after the defeat of a majority of N&GB military forces, a Department of Peace Operations directly under the Assembly shall integrate and deploy different resources in N&GB to:
1a. distribute aid
1b. ensure the safety of civilians
1c. replace foreign troops
2. The Department of Peace Operations shall receive personnel and resources from the WF Committees and directly from volunteering WF members
3. The Department of Peace Operations shall be gradually phased out in N&GB and be replaced by resources under the Interim Administration of N&GB and its native successor
4. The department of Peace Operations shall continue to exist as a permanent institution under the Assembly for similar future deployments.
