Quote:War Declarations Repeal Act

 

 
Whereas the Assembly of The South Pacific previously passed the following declarations of war:

• Declaration of War against the GGR, 04 June 2012,
  
• Declaration of War against Gatesville, 03 July 2013;
  

Whereas there has been no significant action, to date, in furtherance of either war, due to the presence of active Founders in both regions preventing meaningful military action against them, the collapse of activity within these regions' governments and populaces, and the decline in inter-regional relevance of both regions;

 
Whereas the circumstances that led to the Declaration of War against Gatesville have changed dramatically since that declaration was passed, the Kemetic Republic of Osiris has been dissolved, and Osiris is no longer at war with Gatesville Inc;

 
Whereas the Osiris Fraternal Order, the successor government to the Kemetic Republic, has admitted Treize Dreizehn and Durkadurkiranistan II as citizens and as members of its regional legislature, despite these individuals' cooperation with Nevadar of Gatesville to maintain The Dourian Embassy as the rogue Delegate of Osiris in July 2013;

 
Whereas declarations of war are not necessary to pursue direct military action against The Greater German Reich or Gatesville Inc or disruption of their military actions against other regions;

 
Whereas a state of war should only be maintained against another region in the most severe circumstances and for the most serious of reasons; and

 
Whereas the Assembly of The South Pacific does not believe such severe circumstances and serious reasons exist any longer in relation to The Greater German Reich and Gatesville Inc, rendering a legal state of war unnecessary;

 

Therefore, let it be:

 
Resolved that the Assembly of The South Pacific continues to condemn and oppose the insidious and hateful ideologies espoused by The Greater German Reich and other Nazi and fascist regions;

 
Resolved that the Assembly of The South Pacific continues to condemn the violations of Feeder and Sinker sovereignty perpetrated by Gatesville throughout its history, and will continue to oppose such aggression by Gatesville Inc against Feeder and Sinker communities in the future;

 
Resolved that the Assembly of The South Pacific continues to encourage direct military action against The Greater German Reich and Gatesville Inc, and disruption of their military actions against other regions;

 
Resolved that the Assembly of The South Pacific mandates that the Coalition of The South Pacific and its military forces will continue to honor the commitments made through the Coalition against the Greater German Reich treaty until such a time as that treaty is repealed;

Resolved that the Assembly of The South Pacific hereby designates The Greater German Reich and Gatesville Inc as Prohibited Groups under Article 9 of the Code of Laws; and

 
Resolved that the Assembly of The South Pacific hereby repeals Declaration of War against the GGR and Declaration of War against Gatesville in their entirety.
 

Quote:It should also be noted that the war against the GGR has been largely fought to conclusion, with the region all but destroyed, and that GV is increasingly inactive to the point of being defunct.

Quote:The Declaration of War on Gatesville did more than declare war. It put PNG status on Douria and Nevadar, and enacts diplomatic sanctions on those that support Nevadar and Gatesville. How would those things be impacted, here?

Quote:The majority of the Cabinet supports this repeal. (4 out of 6 voiced support; 2 have not yet commented). However, a couple of us still believe that PNG status for Nevadar is a necessity.

Quote:In that case I would like to hold off on voting on this until the vote on Article 9 concludes. That way we can be sure that if we repeal these war declarations, we can immediately move to designating Gatesville a Prohibited Group.

 

Edit: Actually, once Article 9 passes we could do that in this repeal resolution, could we not?
