The Helmebaine Alliance

The Spokesman of Eumenor:
(OOC: See here for full post: http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/single/?p=8242675&t=7376586)

The Eumenorian delegate submits his first draft for the new just war legislation.

1. Pre-War
a The cause must be just. Examples of just causes include, but are not limited to:
-Self Defence
-Support of an endangered ally
-Re-gaining legitimately owned territory
-Preventing atrocities
-Humanitarian intervention
-Preventing terror
-Pre-emptive strikes.
b War must be a last resort. All these options should be tried prior to declaring war:
-Diplomacy and Negotiations, Peace Talks
-Economic Sanctions
-Referendums
-Appeasement and compromise
-Appeal to higher power, e.g. DU
-Above all, the war must be thoroughly talked through with the other Helmebaine nations, not rushed and poorly planned. Where immediate response is necessary, the proper channels must be used (e.g. the DU and NPTO, Helmebaine). Any rapid response by an individual state should aim only to defend sensitive interests until a full deployment can be organised.
c There must be a good chance of success.
d The decision must be taken by a legitimate authority, or, in the case of a corrupt government, an authority recognised by the Helmebaine alliance
e The ultimate goal MUST be the restoration of peace.

2. During the War
a Conduct in war. The following rules must be observed:
-Forces must distinguish between combatants and non-combatants.
-Civilians MUST not be targeted. This means no bombing, other than surgical strikes against military instalments.
-Tactics that cause large amounts of harm and disruption to civilian life, such as preventing the transfer of food to the point of widespread starvation, or using civilians to shield important military installations, are not allowed.
-Weapons must be used proportionally. No nukes or chemical weapons.
-Wounded soldiers and POWs must be treated well and with respect. Those who surrender must not be harmed. Injured soldiers and civilians must have access to full treatment.

3. Post-War
a Don't seek revenge against the defeated enemy. Reparations should not be too harsh. The goal should be to build up and aid the defeated country to ensure a secure life for its citizens.
b All POWs and injured soldiers and civilians should be promptly returned to their own nations.
We alright with this proposal, however one part maybe need to be edit:
  • "-Weapons must be used proportionally. No nukes or chemical weapons." You seemed to missed biological weapons aswell?

Also, what if, in a hypothetical battle, we are fighting someone who is using chemical weapons, and we can't? What would be done then?
 
Cronaal:
If you fight fire with fire, there'll be more fire.
I'm not suggesting we use chemical weapons back if we are being attacked by a chemical weapons user. What I wonder is how we would handle a chemical weapons user if we can't (and won't) use chemical weapons.

This is a valid point.
 
My opinion to that, we shouldn't to do the same thing what our enemy despite if they got a greater advantage to us. That still would ruin our reputation of being a moral country, if we retaliate using the same weapons. If that country use any sort of WMDs, we should go asking a internation organization(s) or another country(s) to help us out in any way? Aswell, if that country been defeated, they will be prosecuted by a internation court (If we have one?) because they broken a international law (If there is one surrounding WMDs?)?
 
If war is to be held as the last resort, then in more than enough cases there will be no higher power that can help us but God. The North Pacific Treaty Organization will not be able to help us if the laws of war are violated against us. The Kannexan Empire suggests we keep tactical stockpiles of chemical weapons for last-resort retaliatory measures, under the express policy of no-first-use.
 
I humbly but strongly disagree. If a nation is found out using chemical weapons in war, eventually the press will find out, it will be all over the media, and the elaborate chain reaction of doom will begin. Even if it doesn't, some way or another the user is going to get condemned and ultimatum'd again and again.

However, more importantly, instead of debating about conduct during conflict, let us discuss how we can prevent conflict and prevent illegal weapons use.
 
Alexander Torsten shook his head slowly. "I'm afraid you place too much hope on the media. Oftentimes war will obscure the facts, and government censorship will not help either. If we are faced against an aggressive, brutal, and unreasonable enemy willing to use chemical weapons, then the only language we have is retaliation. The bullet.

"But," he added, "I must note that chemical weapons should most definitely be our last resort, and only if we have no other choice."
 
I must notify Helmebaine that Cronaal is currently considering withdrawal from Helmebaine.

Yours Sincerely,

A usb drive arrived in a small ebony box bearing the Wolvesh seal. The drive was examined carefully and found to contain two videos, one hologram-compatible and the other in 3D using the forward cameras of the holorecorder suite. As the message began the form of the acting Khan, appeared, she was trying to appear imposing but her frame lacked Sebt's natural presence"Leaders of the Helmebaine alliance, you will forgive this missive's sudden appearance I trust but it is of vital importance that we reach you." Her manner and tone somewhat clashing with her youthful voice "The peace and security of our region is of great importance to us, five years ago our forces, under the orders of the previous Khan, were set to engage in a war of conquest until the entire region was ours, fortunately the Khan was able to foil our father's ambitions and has dedicated us to the cause of peace." she paused for a moment "During the war we fought alongside the forces of your alliance, together we helped rebuild South Cronaal and it is our belief that our goals are mutual. Therefore I wish to suggest a non-aggression pact between the Khanate and the Alliance. As a sign of good faith you may choose the location for our negotiations, all I ask is a berth large enough for one of our vessels, I also include the connection codes for the Wolfmoth Network so you may reply quickly." Before the message ended, the codes in a hidden folder.
 
Minister Daley (OOC: Chris Daley, MP and Helmebaine representative for the last couple months) also gave his sign of approval.
 
Full Nation Name: The Imperial Japanese Empire
System of Government: Constitutional Monarchy
Head of State:n/a
Head of Government: Emperor Saburo Natsuo
Reason for Applying: I would like to expand my relations with the countries in this alliance.
What Can You Contribute to the Alliance?: Ship, Electronic supplies. Oil
Your Nation's Representative to the Alliance:Hiroshi Itsuo
Any further comments?: Im just waiting for the next update to come so my nation can be on the map.

I,Emperor Saburo Natsuo of The Japanese Imperial Empire, do solemnly pledge to help the Helmebaine Alliance uphold safety and cooperation between its members and to never engage in conflict with any other Alliance members. I swear to help protect the other Alliance member nations in their time of need, and to not use my nation's armies for expansionism and/or colonization maliciously and/or without a specific, good reason. I shall help to ensure the stability of the Alliance member nations and the Alliance itself; and I shall, like the golden eagle Gimrahir who symbolizes the Alliance itself, help the Helmebaine Alliance fly and shine.
 
It has been decided.
In a vote at the East Kray Tower, the small, but growing, government of Cronaal has voted 68% Aye, 22% Nay, 10% Abstain in the vote toe leave the Helmebaine. It is my job to, regretfully or not, tell you that Cronaal officially has withdrawn itself from the clutch of the Helmnebaine Alliance and shall be set free. We thank you for your protection.

Yours Sincerely,

The Empire of Kannex considers the Cronaali decision unfortunate, and will begin to withdraw the 2nd Panzer Army Division and 2nd Marine Division, as well as all other forces, from Cronaal immediately.

The Empire of Kannex is willing to accept Imperial Japan into the Helmebaine Alliance.
 
Xentherida too is willing to accept them into the Helmebaine Alliance, provided that they can also contribute vehicles, munitions and food supplies/rations for soldiers, albeit on a small scale.

With this, we would also like other Alliance members to note that we are switching our representative. Jackson Palmer is to be trained as an embassy diplomat, with Christopher Williams to take over his job. Also, we will now be taking a greater role in this Alliance; providing supplies, mainly petroleum, ammunition, and weapons, and providing training to troops, along with troops to be deployed in more conflicts, albeit mostly in peacekeeping, although the rest will be committed to fighting with the other Helmebaine Alliance members.
 
Kannex welcomes Mr. Williams to the job.

The Empire of Kannex believes that matters such as new membership and leadership should be put to a vote.
 
The Imperial Japanese Empire can apply almost anything military related because we are one of the top military's in the world. Very organized and everything.
 
Lots to do today.

Syrixia welcomes the IGE into the Alliance should they be accepted. We move for a vote.
McMasterdonia has called for action against Eumenor, an Alliance member, following the failure of Eumenorian security to prevent the death of the McMasterdonian queen by terrorist attack. Thoughts?
Candidacy declarations for Secretary-General will start now. They will end on Friday.
 
The Empire of Kannex votes in favor of the IJE's admission into the Alliance. (Remember, all 'for' or 'abstain' votes and no 'against' votes and we're fine.)

Kannex would like to review the status of Eumenor's past contributions to the Helmebaine war efforts before we rush to any sort of military aid.
 
We are also willing to exep IJE into the Helmebaine Alliance, as they can provide vehicles, soldiers and lots more to the members that need them, Therefore True Sebland votes for in the vote.
 
Against.

No military intervention will be necessary. I want to impress upon the Helmebaine powers that we are doing all we can in accordance to the proper procedures and the best interests of all involved.
 
Against.
That's not enough. If you won't let the world help investigate, could you at least let the Alliance?
Since no one has yet declared their candidacy, I shall declare my candidacy for a second term. I do hope others declare their candidacy, otherwise the election wouldn't be that much of an election.
 
Syrixia:

For.


We agreed with Syrixia.


I declare my candidacy for secretary-general. We realize this may cause bit of complication, if we actually get elected, due the fact the representative of The United Stated of New Sekai in The Faibuaizu Alliance is a chairman. However, currently doesn't look like anyone else is declaring a candidacy for secretary-general.
 
I never made a statement. I just said the situation and asked for thoughts...
And it is these complications which urges me to strongly discourage such a declaration. But, a democracy is a democracy.
 
It is regrettable that the Imperial Japanese Empire is rejected from the Helmebaine Alliance. Nonetheless we accept the status.

Kannex has no intentions of seeking the chairmanship of the Helmebaine Alliance at this moment.
 
Syrixia:

Yeah we know about that. We just agreeing to the thought.


Alright then. Aswell, true on that.
 
The Empire of Kannex urges New Sekai not to run; it would inevitably create a conflict interest with New Sekai a member of both Helmebaine and Febuaizu alliances.
 
Kannex:

The United States of New Sekai will remove our candidacy if any of the other members then just Syrixia will declare the candidacy. Again, The United States of New Sekai promote democracy.
