Pushing a Pebble Down a Hill

Lisle stood to speak after the Mordvanian finished. He had decided to let this go on for a bit, to see what might happen. He had expected some confrontation, but to his surprise they seemingly resolved it on their own, at least outwardly.

"No one here is intending to disrespect anyone elses laws or constitutions. It is to be expected that there may be some level of distrust in this room given past... disagreements." He did not look at the Nerysians or the Mordvanians. "But if we felt this could not be accomplished, we wouldn't be discussing it in the first place. There may be some value in a sort of Brigidnan Forum, where disputes can be settled when bilateral negotiations are no longer viable."

"Though as with all such matters, we have questions about authority and enforcement. Who would decide such cases? Who would enforce the decisions? These are serious questions."

"We agree with the delegation from Mordvania that much potential exists between all assembled here to promote better international law enforcement and sharing intelligence with regards to organized crime and terrorism. Surely we can all agree on fighting organized crime and terrorism, as long as the terms upon which we fight are agreed upon?"
