[Naio90]

The Republic of Argentina has presented this Draft Resolution to avoid a war and a senseless destruction of material property and human lifes.

It has to be considered that the territory of Kosovo claimed to have gained de facto "independence" after a unilateral act, disregarding not only the position of the Serbian Government, disrupting the principle of territorial integrity, but also ignored several UN resolutions surrounding the issue.

Without a valid, internationally recognized process, Kosovo cannot be considered independent in the eyes of international law, and would set the dangerous precedent for other territories to act in the same way, like Catalonia, Scotland and Chechenia.

Also, the present Draft would guarantee sanctions to any thrid party intervening in the conflict, avoiding therefore an armed escalation, while at the same time halting the possibility of civilian casualties and damage to property that any armed action implies.

Brazilian GA Representative Juan Valdez would reply, "Brazil endorses this Resolution, particularly Article II, the involvement of foreign parties in the Balkan Conflict. We have a GA for a reason. But it seems some nations feel GA rules do not apply to them. The time for that to end is now."

 

[John]

The US Representative would arrive, reading over the article. Speaking although not many members were here. "So.. you want to just let Serbia take the territory anyway? Forgive me, that seems a little idiotic. It's like a nation has thrown a tantrum and has gotten their way anyway"

 

[JamieA]

The German Representative would take a seat sniffing the metagame Air while shaking his head regarding the Argentinian resolution

 

[Naio90]

With its best Captain America impersonation, the argentine rep would say "Language!" And then move on.

"Kosovo is and was never an independent territory. It's part of Serbia, as territories can just decide by themselves to split. We can discuss the terms and times of its reincorporation in a new resolution if your nations desires."

 

[John]

"Forgive me, but wasn't Kosovan independence settled in 2011? I'm sure I was at that resolution.. hold on.." The Delegate would open up his computers, and begin looking through his files. Before turning his computer around for everyone to see. "Statement by Secretary General Gregory 'This Resolution was opened by Yugoslavia, regarding the legality of the former Kosovar independence. In response to the Referendum Results of 2011 administered by the Global Assembly, Yugoslavia and President Tito have (Now) relinquished all claim over Kosovo. Considering the original issues have been addressed, this Chamber is closed. I'll have to ask all of you, excluding the United States and British Ambassadors to exit the room.'. Argentina itself voted for Kosovar Independence. Why do you now support a Serbian takeover?"

 

[JamieA]

The German Representative would just chuckle away at the poor Argentinian attempt of mocking the United States

 

[Naio90]

"Actually, yes. Things have changed and there is no law or principle that goes against adapting. Do you wish to go straight to vote?

We won't let you play world police anymore."

 

[Deleted member 5]

Claudette Dubois, a French Ambassador, would arrive to General Assembly took her seat and would read the transcript.

 

[Alex]

Thai ambassador, Thanut Rojjanasukchai, would arrive at the chamber and read the transcript.

 

[Owen]

The Canadian Ambassador, Marc-André Blanchard would arrive and take his seat. He would put in the ear piece to hear the translations.

 

[Moe]

Brazilian Representative Juan Valdez eyes the German ambassador and his mocking facial gestures and thinks to himself, Well, it is not like the Germans don't have a history of following liars and megalomaniacs.

He continues to type notes into his iPad while listening to the debate.

 

[Owen]

The Ambassador, being fluent in both English and French, would respond to the chamber in French, which would be translated via the ear pieces.

"Regardez, cette question ne sera pas résolue si nous agissons comme des enfants. Certains des comportements affichés par les membres de cette assemblée ont déjà montré un manque de maturité. S'il vous plaît maintenir un niveau de professionnalisme, tout le monde. Je suis disposé à offrir mes services de président de ce débat pour veiller à ce qu'il soit fait correctement et de manière impartiale."

It would be translated by the translators upstairs.

"Look, this question will not be solved if we act like children. Some behaviors displayed by members of this assembly have already been revealed. Please maintain a level of professionalism, everyone. I am willing to offer my services of chairing this debate to make sure it's done properly and orderly in an unbiased manner."

 

[Moe]

Brazilian Representative Juan Valdez would ask the proudly polyglot Canadian Ambassador which countries he was referring to as childish and why.

He would then thank the Canadian Ambassador for offering Canada's negotiation expertise that the rest of the world seems to lack.

"Somos todos gratos a você, senhor embaixador," Valdez would say in Portuguese.

Then he would say in English, "Where would the world be without Canadian leadership? I shutter to think."

He would then take his seat, scratch an itch and think about lunch.

 

[Owen]

The Ambassador would switch to English.

"I'm not going to single out certain representatives for their conduct, that's not my job."

 

[Wow41]

Koro Bessho, Japanese representative for the GA would arrive to and take his seat. In my opinion the independence of kosovo never should've happened. Let's be honest what good did the independence do for Kosovo. Kosovo is being controlled by corrupt people, politicians are embroiled in scandals, unemployment rate this year is around 30% and for the youth unemployment rate it's almost 50%. Recent figures show that around 40,000 people leave the country every year. Some local's even said" we thought that after the war everything would become better but people are suffering now more than before the independence." "Politicians are corrupted" "hospitals are the worst. There are doctors who bought their degree without even studying" "Doctors operating on you without the proper education, skills or experience. So please tell me what good did it do? if you had cared about kosovo you would have helped them build up their nation, improve their economy, help them with education. But you just didn't care about them. Stop interfering with someone else business if you are not going to help them.In the other hand we cannot let Serbia get away unsanctioned with the recent actions they did against the kosovar people

 

[Odinson]

The Norwegian ambassador to the General Assembly arrived, took his seat, and read the transcript.

 

[Moe]

The Brazilian representative concurs with Japanese statement. Serbia should be on the receiving end of some sort of sanctions for the deliberate mistreatment of minorities, but other world governments should not be taking any side in independence movements, especially with boots on the ground. That should never be allowed to happen by this body."

 

[Odinson]

This is the response of the Secretary General, not of Norway.

The Secretary General inched toward his microphone and briefly said, "In regards to what the American Ambassador has brought up, I can clarify that it is and still remains the position of the Global Assembly that Kosovo is a sovereign nation." Then, he sat back into his chair and let the debate continue.
