Pushing a Pebble Down a Hill

[Severyane]

Vadim was given the queue to stand and address the assembled delegates. He smiled to them all as he raised himself up from the seat and cleared his throat quietly before proceeding.

"My fellow delegates, as mentioned yesterday Severyane has great interests in working with every nation in Brigidna to maintain regional security. As such, we have hammered out a few proposals that we hope will begin to establish a greater network of protection for all of us. Firstly, we would like to discuss the establishment of a multi-national investigative bureau. We believe that this would be a great first step towards wider cooperation on regional security. As it is currently envisioned it would have the authority to investigate crimes of war, genocide, and other crimes against humanity - an example being what was suspected to have happened in West Kaljurand some years ago - as well as organized crime, terrorism, and other crimes which involve two or more parties from different nations. This bureau would present the evidence of their investigation to an international tribunal which would have a representative from each member nation. The tribunal could pass judgment on the government or individuals as seen fit. This is all, of course, up for discussion as this is only a rough plan."

"Secondly, we would like to propose the establishment of joint anti-piracy and drug smuggling patrols in the North, South, and Laural Seas. This could also be overseen by, or under the management of, the previously proposed Investigative Bureau. Thank you all for listening to my short proposal, I will now take comments and questions." Vadim remained standing for a moment before returning to his seat.
