Ambassador Guiracocha has voted AYE, in favor of the resolution.
The somewhat surprising stand by Wagondia in favor of a muscular ILA is said to have been made on the direct insistence of Sami Vilca, the Minister of Labor. A committed socialist, Vilca is a prominent member of the so-called 'red cabinet', which has played a prominent role in shaping the policies of Fradique Barrachina's second term.
OOC: I figured the ILA would have adopted some basic standards years ago, otherwise the agency would have little point in existing. The ILA would at at least enforce the right to collective bargaining and prohibit the use of child labor or forced labor.
Indeed, labor inspectors would have immunity. Refusing their presence could build a case for enacting economic sanctions against a nation and criminal charges for obstructing a UCP investigation.
Ambassador Rutte has voted to abstain on the motion.
"the confederation deeply understands the international appeal for further International authority over the place of workers. In the confederation, the right to collective bargaining, the right to work, the right to strike, and the right to earn a living are protected by federal laws and institutions. In many
of our member countries, as well as in provincial and local cities or towns, there are further laws and regulations in place that are more stringent than the federal requirements or regulations.
However, similar to the spirits expressed above, we also understand that not everyone has the same standards. I do not believe I would be speaking out of turn. If I said, what works in one place may not work in another. I know that the right to collective bargaining was not a federally protected right in Novo until last year, whereas that right has existed in the confederation since its founding. But we are trying to say is there is no one solution to the aliments of the workers plight. Every situation is different.
The confederation will abstain from this resolution and will respect the international process of voting and debate. We ask that all parties understand that this is not an endorsement for or against the resolution. We see the merits in it and also see the potential flaws. Regardless, we stand ready to work with the UCP."
SIC: after discussions with the State Department, we concluded that the resolution is unlikely to pass. If it does pass, we stand ready to implement it, but also, now that it could be potentially engaged in many legal battles, mainly over the spirit of the law. Sounds like sanctions are more of a last resort than actual first punishment.

Sysop paused for a moment then continued. "As for my interest in providing you this information -- It's simple. While I know the truth, I cannot understand it at the level a living mortal can. There's a careful cultivation that will occur from this land that'll assert the collective will of the mortal world from a mere consequence of the other two spheres to instead be a true third sphere of existence. Only when that occurs will you and your followers truly cut the last threads of gods' influences from your minds and souls. I would like your involvement in shielding this cultivation from those who would like to keep this world chained within and without, to help protect crucial moments in time from.. Temporal disruption. Additionally.. The SSO will give up their raids after the next one you foil, I could tell you their exact methods of infiltration and assault but that'd really be unnecessary -- They're nothing really new and your protections already are sufficient."
Santa Lucija votes NAY on the resolution to set up the ILA. Representative Stanislav Galkin has called the resolution "yet another thinly-veiled attempt by our socialist puppetmasters to export international revolution in the name of 'internationalism'."
As debate continues on the current resolution, the Clerk of the General Assembly has notified the delegates of the passage of CPR 2024 I (Relocating Critical UCP infrastructure from Santa Lucija). All UCP functions in Moscow have been transferred to Warsaw according to pre-existing continuity of operations plans.
CSR 2024 IV (Appointing a Special Rapporteur to Investigate Genetic Modification in West Africa) has been defeated, with no clear path to a majority following the expiration of the voting period.
Separately, a survey by the Alhandra Institute of International Affairs, which examined all 67 UCP resolutions for which data is available, has calculated that a resolution has an 83% chance of passage once it has been introduced to the floor. The chance of passage was slightly higher for procedural resolutions (86%) than substantive resolutions (80%), a category which includes oft-controversial judicial investigations.
The Wagain ambassador in West Africa, Anna de León, has heavily lobbied the Ministerial Councils to curb the plans for indefinite mobilization, pointing out the steep reduction in the size of the Orsonian military to merely a fraction of its wartime strength. De León has argued that the policy of proactive armament wil
Wagain Defense Minister Makendy Hidalgo is reportedly in Key West speaking with senior Timmian legislators about the prospect of merging the Timmian and Wagain early warning systems to better track and interdict ballistic threats from hostile actors. Hidalgo is proposing that Wagondia will help to contribute to the operating budget of the Global Solid State Phased Array Radar System. Military and civilian officials from both countries will be involved in the operation and maintenance of the early warning network.
In addition, Hidalgo has proposed the construction of 8x additional early warning radar sites in Wagain territory, to extend the umbrella of protection over both countries. This includes:
Camp Blaz, Guam
Hanga Roa (Easter Island)
Punta Esperanza, South Georgia
Cotigao, Goa
Cape Lopez, Gabon
La Union, Philippines
Cotopaxi, Ecuador
Barreira do Inferno, Brazil
The Grand Master pondered these revelations for a moment before speaking.
"We have much to meditate over. The existence of Carcosa and your description of reality's true nature is...troubling. Yet, I sense this course of action is vital to discovering the great unconscious truth. The Silent Crusaders will provide whatever aid is necessary."

"The first of these crucial moments comes with this upcoming sunrise. A man will appear in the desert not far to the southwest, all that's needed here is a careful vigil and a.. subtle temporal haze to keep attentions away from the moment and to obscure details of the event from those who do bring their attentions to the moment. Something easily done while you meditate, your wider meditations on all of these revelations would help to add noise to the haze when they mix with the psionic background. I will of course be assisting this effort to protect this continuity on my own as well. I wish you and your crusade well in your efforts, and if you reach out in meditation I shall answer and provide what aid I can. Until then, I should make sure to give you all time to think."
Year: 2024
A sudden spike in the "PVR" or Psionic Variability Rate would be detected in a small home in northwestern Gao, a measure used by the Office of Anomaly Investigation to detect anomalies via changes in the amount of variation in the Psionic background of an area. Immediately a Crisis team in Triple Threat Armor would be deployed given the severity of the sudden spike. Upon arrival, their Psionic Jammers would contain the Psionic energy threat but the team would find themselves engaged with what looked like some kind of anomalous 'animation' of ordinary household objects by some black stone-like substance. With rapid movement and intense fire they would avoid the melee charges of these aggressive animated objects and begin vaporizing them.
Their Jammers would begin to lose efficiency, however, as it would seem something further in the building is sapping Psionic energy from their Jammers and using that stolen energy to start overpowering the Jammers. This would be accompanied with the detection of a tear in spacetime, a portal of some kind had opened. A very unstable and dangerous portal. Much more powerful Jammers and spacetime stabilizers would activate to contain the threat and all Crisis teams would be mobilized on a priority mission: Destroy the anomalous object at the center of this anomalous activity.
Heavy interlocking lasplas fire would allow the teams to cut through the hostile animated objects while Particle manipulators combined with Psionic Jammers and spacetime manipulators would capture the vapors, isolate them from one another, and contain them. The teams would advance towards the center rapidly using overwhelming force while Confederate soldiers would be conducting an evacuation from the surrounding area to limit collateral damage to civilians in the area. At the center they'd find a hidden room accessed through a secret panel in the wall of a closet with some kind of bio-mass with the same sort of black stone and with an ominous red glow to parts spreading through the room acting as both a psychic energy generator and manipulator and as the epicenter of a spacetime tear. With sheer firepower the teams would vaporize the anomalous biological material and isolate and contain the vapors, this seeming to cause the Jammers to regain full efficiency and the tear to suddenly snap shut. The Teams would continue sweeping the home for any more signs of anomalous materials or energies to destroy or contain for the purposes of later proper destruction while particle manipulators would be used to try and preserve the structural integrity of the catastrophically damaged structure and preserve evidence for the investigators to figure out what caused this incident.
Within five minutes the "Gao Anomaly Incident" was dealt with and the investigation began, although with Aurora Morte still under medical observation while she recovers from the Psiono-Genetic Decryption of the Earth Orsonian Genome using her biomass the investigation is being handled by unproven agents. However, they would quickly identify that the home belonged to the mother of the Deceased Bello Kayode and uncover evidence of occult experimentation in the hidden room despite the catastrophic damage. It seemed that the woman unable to handle the mysterious disappearance of her husband and then later the death of her son by a chaos cultist had delved into the anomalous to try and reach her lost loved ones and probably experimented on the original Bello Kayode biomass that had been given to the family for funerary arrangements by Aurora after an operation to replace the initial biomass she started and was consumed by the anomalously reanimated biomass and used as a starting point for the anomalous incident with frenzied anomalously-reanimated viral tissues seeking to spread and infect and animate even non-biological mass surrounding it but was detected and neutralized as a threat timely by OAI Crisis teams.
... Centuries later, the International Anti-Corruption Technology Administration would identify the Gao Anomaly Incident as actually the first recorded Corruption Incident and that the OAI had unknowingly conducted the first Corruption Suppression Operation. The Corrupted Molecules were not able to be recovered and examined by IACTA due to the OAI using a Disposal method of ejecting the material through a spacetime breach of their own into the Inter-reality barrier space scattering them across an incalculable distance. However IACTA has concluded that the disposal method was sufficient to prevent the corruption from being concentrated enough to be harmful to anywhere but that in general disposal of corrupted materials should be done via rejection back to the Corrupted wastes to isolate the Corruption from the broader multiverse.
