The Gathering Storm, Redux - League of Nations

[KaiserDave]

Aye on the Soviet motion.

[Devout Centrist]

The Empire of Japan agrees to article 3 of this resolution and shall provide the international panel with all documents necessary to support their inquiry. However, we cannot agree to the bellicose wording of this resolution as currently presented.

Therefore, my government shall abstain on the resolution and shall cooperate with the international panel's investigation and recommendations.

[OBD]

Bulgaria shall support the Soviet motion. AYE.

[GoTfan]

I ask the Japanese Ambassador, why is he objecting to the motion? I would venture to say that the wording is rather modest, considering the heinous actions of the Kwantung Army. Let us not forget, my fellow ambassadors, that the Kwantung Army operates under the authority of the Empire of Japan. It fights in the name of the Empire of Japan.

When an army operates under the authority of a country and fights in the name of that country, does that country not bear the responsibility for the actions of that army's officers?

Let us be clear, my fellow Ambassadors, these allegations, if proven true, are some of the most heinous war crimes committed thus far this century, and they have been committed by an army that derives its authority from the Japanese state. The statement that the Japanese government knew nothing of this is either patently false, or indicates an inability or unwillingness to leash their military and ensure that precept of civilian control.

I am not certain which is worse.


-Maxim Litvinov, Soviet Ambassador.

[Devout Centrist]

Mr. Ambassador, my government objects to the specific wording of the resolution, which condemns the entire people of Japan for the actions of clearly dishonorable and disgraceful officers. We are in full and unequivocal agreement that this behavior must be fully investigated and punished accordingly. We, however, cannot agree to a blanket condemnation of our own nation and people. This is why we have chosen to abstain.

Statement from Poland.

The republic of Poland is extremely concerned about the rising tensions between the German Reich and the French Republic. We sincerely believe that deescalation is necessary and passing resolutions condemning either parties would make things worse. That's why Poland will vote Nay on the French motion and will vote Nay on all the motions/petitions condemning the French occupation of Saarland.

Only direct negotiations between France and Germany would prevent the situation to deteriorate further and Poland proposes itself as a mediator if they need one.

The French Republic asks for clarification on the location of the Jewish State in the Middle East.

The French Republic would also like to extend thanks to Poland's ambassador for their offer of mediation, which has been accepted.

Poland's thoughts on this subject is that it should be decided by the League of Nations in close cooperation with the different actors in the region. It is absolutely not Poland's wish to impose a location, but rather to seek multilateral agreements to make it happen.

[PPT Spiral]

The Republic of Turkey votes Aye on the Polish motion and we shall work with our Middle Eastern partners in the Eurasian Alliance for possible avenues on a Jewish state.
