Title: The Truman Building: The Department of State - [Resignation but not now]
Post by: Sec. of State Superique on January 31, 2014, 01:30:36 PM
Welcome to the Truman Building!

()


Common Citizens, the President, the Vice-President and Senators from all across the political spectrum may take your piña-coladas in the lobby while you wait to  meet with the current Secretary of State, Superique. Since there's no committees in the Senate, this thread shall also work as an "unofficial" committee to Foreign Affairs matters, any concerns, doubts and requests about Atlasian Security and Diplomacy mat be published here and if the matter is to be kept in secret, just send a PM to your Secretary that it will happily answer you.

Don't forget to check out the official newspaper of the SoS, the International Tribune, where the major international developments are announced. Speeches and other "legal" announcements shall, however, be kept under this thread.

Superique’s Schedule – February 9th Week


()

Superique will visit strategic Arab countries from the Middle East to recognize Israel as a sovereign state and the return to normal economical and diplomatic relations between Israel and those countries after peace talks are done and a Palestinian state is created.  Superique will pull support on an approach based on the Arab Peace Initiative and on other bilateral agreements between Israel and Palestine. In a meeting of the Arab League in Doha, Superique will meet with:

  • AL Secretariat Nabil Elaraby
  • President Abbas of Palestinian Authority
  • King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia
  • King Abdullah II of Jordan
  • Emir Al Thani of Qatar
  • King Hamad bin Isa of Bahrain
  • Prime-Minister al-Maliki of Iraq
  • Acting President Adly Mansour of Egypt
  • Kuwait Emir Al-Sabah of Kuwait
  • President Bouteflika of Algeria
  • President Hadi of Yemen
  • Sultan Al-Said of Oman
  • President Suleiman of Lebanon
  • President Aziz of Mauritania
  • King Mohamed IV of Morocco

Superique wanted Israeli’s PM presence in the event but organizing countries did not see this as a good timing due to instabilities in Israel and the presence of many leaders that don’t relate well with Israel.

Atlasian Public Opinion – Superique’s Open Letter


()
Superique's statement on Uganda Anti-Gay Legislation

The current efforts to repress homosexuals in Uganda have called for Atlasian reprimand. As the main line of our Foreign Policy is the protection and promotion of Human Rights, Atlasian authorities will not tolerate any kind of excess of violence and it won’t accept being quiet about the current injustices that are happening on this African country. Just as we are not happy with countries that prohibit a particular sexual orientation, we shall not agree with a nation that harm, exclude and accepts aggression of homosexuals on its lands either.

The United Nations Charter allows nations to have their own laws and allows citizens to define their own rules, but sovereignty and the right of self-determination principles are only valid when the universal human rights are also respected. Since the approval of anti-gay legislation, Uganda has been gradually becoming a criminal state; a state that, despite already living the disaster of bloodbaths, unfortunately insists on the path of solving things with aggression, violence and irrationality.  The world has already been too lenient with precedent human right abuses, even after Hitler’s Holocaust, humanity still lives with the regular threat of seeing a massive killing. 

We cannot watch Musseveni actions and remain silent against this unacceptable attitude. The world shall not be a place of oppression and those kinds of threats are no longer acceptable. That’s why the Atlasian Senate needs to approve further sanctions against the Ugandan Government and that’s why I have called other nations of the world to freeze Ugandan assets and sanction this nation.  Musseveni and his allies need to understand that this is not acceptable. Atlasians authorities have provided the Ugandan Government with all the information necessary to show that sexual orientation is not a choice and now it’s time to Musseveni to retreat from his attempts to further anti-homosexual. Atlasia and its people will not accept these actions and we condemn anyone that follows the Ugandan example.

The G8 summit will take place at a location outside of Russia, and the expulsion of said member from the Group will be on the agenda for that session. We have suspended all talks with Moscow over matters not related to the current crisis, including the NATO-Russia Council. I will be flying to Kiev to meet with Ukrainian leadership, while also meeting with our allies in Eastern Europe to reassure our commitment to their defense. We have also set aside 300,000 refugee visas to provide asylum for all those who may flee persecution from the Russian occupying forces.

Official Communique of the Department of External Affairs

()

The Department of External Affairs is changing the status of relations between Atlasia and the Russian Federation. Due to Russian disobedience of the International Law, due to Russian Aggression of Ukrainian Sovereignty and due to Russian lack of willingness to find a diplomatic solution for the current Ukrainian Crisis, the current partial military restrictions for Russia are hereby raised to full military restrictions. Following the guidelines from previous Foreign Policy Reviews, that means the following :

SOEA Directive #1 - No military equipment of any nature may be sold privately or by Atlasia, i.e. no uniforms, guns, vehicles, nothing to Russia.

All private entities that disobey this order shall face proper judicial prosecution and financial punishments. Russian authorities have been properly informed about this policy change. The Department of External Affairs reaffirms that it was never its first option to take this decision but Russian complete lack of response and cooperation was the reason that encouraged this embargo.

How does the Duke Administration plan on treating the Modi Administration in India?

The Duke Administration respects the electoral process in India and congratulate Mr. Modi and his party BJP for their victories during the 2014 Election. We believe that there was a strong energy in support of him and we hope that this same energy can be used for some necessary reforms that India currently needs. A varied set of technological, economical, political and administrative issues need to be resolved in India and the Atlasian Diplomacy hopes that Modi and his newly-elected government can deal with those problems.

However, we still have some concerns when it comes to Modi's Foreign Policy, we hope that the BJP abandon their historical anti-Pakistan rhetoric and I hope that all the minority groups in India can be respected. If abuses and anti-minorities measures are taken, the Duke Administration will not endorse with those terrible actions and we would take the proper diplomatic measures to deal with any sort of abuse.

The Secretary of State announces measures to streamline the Department of State budget and improve the fight against terrorism.

It is a pleasure to be here once more in this office and in this building that I love so much. Now that I'm finally at this sacred place, it is more than time to take decisive actions by writing two Department Directives .

The first Directive that I decided to create is supposed to rearrange part of our budget by saving money that is supposed to go over my salary and using it as part of an educational program based on financial support for UN models across the country.

Quote
State Department Directive #1

(1) Giving the Public Money a better place to go.

a)   Due to our current budgetary restraints, the current Secretary of State shall receive the Minimum Wage as established by Atlasian Federal Law. All of the funds saved by this action shall be used in the Educational Programs from the Department of State.

 
(2) UN for Youth

a)   Due to the educational importance of UN Models, The Department of State hereby creates the “UN for Youth” Program. Its purpose is to invest and provide advice on UN Models for college and university students.
b)   Yearly, the Department of State will open contest to select 500 models to receive monetary support from the Federal Government. The “UN for Youth” shall focus mainly on models designed by educational institutions from underdeveloped and poor communities.  


The second Directive is focused especially on the recent events around Terrorism. It will focus on ways to increase prevention against terrorist actions and enhance better protection to our computer systems and our public offices. This second Directive was partly inspired in recent actions taken by our Secretary of Interior, Mr. Hagrid.

Quote
State Department Directive #2

Acknowledging that Terrorism represents a huge threat to Atlasian Security, to the basic Constitutional rights of our citizens and to the proper functioning of this nation economy;  
Terrified by the increasing terrorist actions;
Concerned that the current domestic policies against the recent attacks are being insufficient until now;

The Atlasian Department of State hereby orders that:

(1) Increase Security Actions at the Department of State and Subsidiary Offices

a)   The Department of State, the Department of Defense and all remaining agencies shall start to take the following actions: the contingent of off-hours security personnel shall be doubled; perimeter patrols shall be doubled in frequency; all guests and visitors must receive and display a security pass, effective immediately; employees must be able and willing to present identification upon request.
b)   The National Security Agency shall create an appropriate team focused on creating a National Plan for Virtual Security (NPVS) to strengthen security in Government-held Server; to further protect classified material and other public archives and to instruct, with   public servants on Virtual Security  
c)   The NPVS shall be funded by a portion of the current Department of State discretionary budget and shall be used not only to protect the computer systems under the Department of State umbrella but also the ones under the Department of Internal Affairs umbrella.

(2) Help Investigations and the proper Judicial Procedures of the recent terrorist attacks.

a)   The National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency shall create a special team to support the D.C. Police’s investigations over the terrorist attack in the Census Bureau Office.
b)   After a confirmation from the Spanish authorities, the Central Intelligence Agency shall send a resolute number of its agents to supervise the extradition of Mr. Sirnick to Atlasian lands. If that procedure of extradition is already made, it shall end this mission.

(3) Federal-Regional Cooperation

 a) The NPVS should help Regional Governments if requested by them. Regions, with the Federal Government playing an assistance role, shall mainly address funding for cooperative action.

a) The National Security Agency shall assist the law enforcing federal and regional authorities in tracking the location of the terrorists from the Patriotic Militia of Atlasia and the True Atlasian Patriots. Furthermore, it shall create a special team to investigate both terrorist organizations and prevent them of further action.
(2) Protecting Law & Order across the nation
a) The National Guard shall be prepared for conflict in case of further attacks across the country. Its main mission is to help other Federal forces and Regional forces. In the absence of any of those, the National Guard may act on its own.
b)The National Guard shall be in full mobilization for the next 48 hours. It shall assist police patrolling along the Regions and focus on the protection of public buildings. This mobilization will continue in case of further Directives.

The Department of External Affairs is changing the status of relations between Atlasia and the Puerto Santos Republic. Due to Puerto Santian disobedience of the International Law, due to Puerto Santian aggression of the basic principles of democratic rights and human dignity and due to the Puerto Santian Junta lack of willingness to find a peaceful solution to the current political crisis that hit its nation,  full military restrictions will be imposed on the Puerto Santos Republic. Following the guidelines from previous Foreign Policy Reviews, that means the following :

State Department Directive #5 - No military equipment of any nature may be sold privately or by Atlasia, i.e. no uniforms, guns, vehicles, nothing to the Puerto Santos Republic.

All private entities that disobey this order shall face proper judicial prosecution and financial punishments. Puerto Santos authorities have been properly informed about this policy change.

It's my understanding that deputies don't have to be approved by the Senate-I wasn't for the deputy, and I think it's fine to continue this precedent

Official Communique of the Department of State

This was something that I have been waiting for a long time and I'm very pleased and honored with this nomination. Kalwejt is a great Atlasian citizen and we have shown many times as SoS and GM that we can work together. He will help me over with some of the highest priorities of Atlasian Foreign Policy. Puerto Santos and the instability in the Middle East are still matters unresolved that need further action.

I thought that the verb "to nominate" could be used as a synonym to "to select" or "to appoint"depending on the circumstances.  EDITED then.

Official Communique of the Secretary of State:
()

I have been talking with President Bore for a few days about the possibility of resigning from the office of Secretary of State. Atlasia now passes through a very decisive moment of discussions about its domestic problems and I have been for too long out of the internal political scenario. I believe that it will be healthy both for me and for Atlasia if we have a new "fresh-face" in the Department of State, so I decided that I will be officially resigning. Nonetheless, as I talked with President Bore, I believe that my resignation needs to be organized and transparent to The People and that the President deserves the appropriate time of finding the best substitute. Hence, Bore and I took the decision of having a clear "transition schedule" that reads as follow:

Quote
9th of July: Resignation Announcement
9th-16th of July: President Bore starts the Selection Process.
16th of July: Expected Day of Announcement of the new Secretary of State
16th of July -19th of July: Expected Period of Confirmation by the Senate.
19th of July: Official Resignation of Superique

As I would like to remind every Atlasian, this is a flexible schedule. Hence, if the President faces any unforeseen event, I'm totally open to continue holding this office until a new Secretary of State is found. I hope that we can still have a very productive final week. Updates in Europe and Puerto Santos probably coming. I thank for all the support that I received during my term in office and a longer speech will be given after my official resignation.

Dave bless Atlasia,

xSuperique.
