United Nations of the Auroran Continent: Difference between revisions

{{Main|Auroran Reunification Summit}}On 21 November 2017, President Nimona Alistair Poole of Emberwood Coast invited global nations to attend the International Conference of Demilitarisation and Disarmament.<ref>Poole, Nimona. 2017. ''Invitation to the International Conference on Demilitarisation and Disarmament''. https://forum.theeastpacific.com/in-defense-of-peace-t3553.html#p189509</ref> Member states of the Auroran Union and the Auroran Continental Assembly were asked to attend. The event began on 26 November 2017. Although the event was aimed at nations of the continent of Aurora, representatives from other nations asked and were allowed to attend. At the time, the purpose of the event was to encourage peace across the Urth. Given that the Auroran-Pacific War affected the entire world to varying degrees, the organisers felt that it was appropriate for all nations to attend. Some nations expressed their misgivings about the event. For instance, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Oan Isles, [[Locklyn Le Roy]], told the Emberitian president that the decision to invite dictatorial states (a thinly veiled allusion to the Axis nations) would dilute the purpose of the event and render its outcomes futile.<ref>Le Roy, Locklyn. 2017.

The provisional governments for [[Sarentria]] and [[DurentriaDrakaland]] were also present.

The conference covered a number of issues such as nuclear disarmament and chemical weapons, but it involved discussion on the reconciliation of the former Axis nations who remained in the ACA and the former Allied nations who formed the AU. [[Lara Tarasovna]], former Speaker of the Zedakhli of Tuvaltastan and incumber President of the UNAC, was the first political leader to explicitly call for the establishment of the UNAC and is credited with coining its name.<ref>Tarasovna, Lara. 2017. ''Address calling for the establishment of the United Nations of the Auroran Continent''. https://forum.theeastpacific.com/mending-wounds-t3626.html#p190621</ref> Axdel, and Great Morstaybishlia supported the call, but the Oan Isles drew the attendees to concerns enumerated in an Oan government white paper on Auroran reunification.<ref>Le Roy, Locklyn. 2017. ''Official White Paper of the Oan Isles on the Stance to the Reunification and Peace of the Auroran Continent.'' https://forum.theeastpacific.com/mending-wounds-t3626.html#p190268</ref> Issues highlighted included conflicted ideologies, lack of financial reparations and retribution for the Axis powers, and the geographic, political, economic and social issues that would make reunification problematic for the Oan Isles. [[Sarentria]] and [[DurentriaDrakaland]] strongly opposed reparations as had been instigated by the [[Ethalria (Republic) |Republic of Ethalria]] and the [[Ethalria (Matriarchy)|Matriarchy of Ethalria]] and thus, they, along with [[Faethalria]], [[Vothetria]], [[Kothalria]] and [[Thalria]] should not bear responsibility for actions perpetrated by those governments. Most other countries especially Great Morstaybishlia supported the [[Ethalns]]. Some countries like Dragonia agreed with the special exclusions for island nations from UNAC treaty provisions. Nevertheless, the nations agreed to establish the UNAC. They agree to the special exclusions for island nations, but refused to acknowledge the reparations and retributions. Thus, the UNAC was established by December 2017 and its bodies were formally constituted on in July 2018 and its first President, Lara Tarasovna, was elected on 20 July 2018.
