We shall not tolerate colonies, protectorates, or imperialism in South East Asia by foreign powers outside of Asia. The Free Nations of South East Asia shall not permit states in Asia to wipe out the traditional cultures of the region. We recognize the rights of states to be multi-cultural and too have aspects from other parts of the globe, however, we shall not permit any state to use their power to suppress native peoples who have existed for millennia. All peoples are entitled to their homelands and freedom to practice their culture. We shall respect these rights in other areas of the world, we ask that the people of the rest of the World respect those in our particular corner.

king of cochin Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 The Kingdom of Cochin congratulates the Association of South East Nations and hope that they would contribute to strengthen the peace and stability in South East Asia which unfortunately has been going through a period of nascent instability. The Kingdom does however wonder if the Decree from the Quadruple powers of South East Asia is retroactively binding, especially with regards to policies such as anti-colonialism and opposition to ethno-linguistic and cultural suppression of native populations of these regions.

[/quote] Thank you. With regards to grand fathering in anyone, China as a single member feels that this is a grey area. Certainly Singapore is the most pressing issue here. China finds it... odd the way Singapore was emptied. However, as China had the first troops on the ground in Singapore, due to us having an AAG already in the area en-route to Burma, we never witnessed any forceable moving of the population out of Singapore. The whole thing is puzzling to us. OOC: The GMs ruled that Singapore could be as Tessa said, although I vehemently disagree with that decision. There is not much I can do IC to change that fact. Its kind of odd, its too bad she isn't here to explain it. It seems like she was really active in giving Singapore away and then just vanished. Odd no?

Cataduanes Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) The announcement was confirmed to jubilant crowds by General Kiram Punjungan in the Malay capital earlier today. The General further reiterated his belief that solidarity among the nations of South East Asia would be of major benefit to the Malay people. [i]**Private message to members of the Association of South East Nations** We would not have any opposition to the Union of Myanmar's application. However in the case of Koryo we would prefer to wait and see if the latest initiative in regards to the question of Singapore are resolved.[/i] Edited July 23, 2010 by Cataduanes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amyante Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 "Zargathia would be interested in signing, though we still have a question. After the people of Korea democratically elected to have their nation -- temporarily -- become a part of Rebel Army, a discussion spawned in several nations involving the interpretation of the word 'colony'. As Zargathia backed the Korean decision at the time, we would like to know what your stance would be if the people of an Asian nation would willingly and democratically choose to become a part of a foreign power. Would this be resisted and thus act against the will of the people, or will the presence of said foreign power be accepted as long as this area is not expanded upon?"

Triyun Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Rebel Army was and is an Asian nation, so that case is not really pertinent. Additionally the doctrine does not cover all of Asia but South East Asia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
