Statement on Iran

Atlasia strongly condemns the Iranian nuclear test, conducted in violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. We would like to make clear that any use of nuclear weapons against our allies in the region, such as Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and others, will result in a strong counter-response.

I request that the President transfer additional forces into the Gulf region for the time being to safeguard our crucial allies. I additionally request that a resolution condemning the Iranian action and demanding disarmament be introduced to the United Nations Security Council immediately. I shall take additional action after discussions with top officials of relevant key nations.

Statement to the United Nations Security Council

The Islamic Republic of Iran has recently tested a nuclear weapon, which poses a grave threat to the security and stability of the Middle East and the world. I urge this council to act swiftly in passing a resolution dealing with this threat, condemning it, and demanding that Iran immediately disarm. The international community must recognize the urgency of this threat and act now to impose sanctions banning the sale of arms, dual-use items, aircraft, aircraft equipment, and any nuclear or ballistic missile items to Iran, prohibiting the purchasing of Iranian debt, forbidding dealing with Iranian government-owned/controlled shipping companies or financial institutions, and freezing the assets of senior administration officials. A resolution doing exactly that has been submitted by the Atlasian ambassador to the United Nations, and is currently supported by the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Portugal.

Recommendation on Israel and NATO

The Secretary of External Affairs formally recommends (with the President's consent) Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen invite Israel to join NATO's Partnership for Peace (including possible later Individual Partnership Action Plan and Intensified Dialogue), and notes that this is not necessarily a precursor to NATO membership, only designed to better Israel's trust with other NATO members in light of Iran's recent nuclear test.

Statement on the Arrow 3 Project

The Department of External Affairs Missile Defense Agency has been directed to prioritize development of the new Arrow 3 antiballistic missile system and to allocate additional funds from the agency's budget towards the development and production of that missile system. The missile, developed by a combination of Israeli and Atlasian companies (such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Ceradyne, Raytheon, and Alliant Techsystems), is designed to intercept and destroy ballistic missiles, such as would be used to deliver a nuclear weapon.

Treaty
between the Republic of Atlasia and the
State of Israel for Defense and Security Cooperation

[Location], [Date]


As presented to the Senate
by the Secretary of External Affairs
by Command of the President
[Month, Year]



TREATY BETWEEN THE REPUBLIC OF ATLASIA AND THE STATE OF ISRAEL FOR DEFENSE AND SECURITY COOPERATION
The Republic of Atlasia and the State of Israel, hereinafter referred to as "The Parties",

Recalling that their foreign and defense policies are founded on common interests, values and responsibilities,

Mindful of their rights and obligations under the Charter of the United Nations,

Believing that greater defense and security cooperation strengthens the ties between their nations and international security,

Bearing in mind that they do not see situations arising in which the vital interests of either Party could be threatened without the vital interests of the other also being threatened,

Determined to address strategic challenges, promote international peace and security, ensure collective security, deter and dissuade against potential aggressors and counter threats, including terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and cyber-attacks,

Seeking to improve further the effectiveness and interoperability of their armed forces,

Recalling that the control of their armed forces, the decision to employ them and the use of force shall always remain a matter of national sovereignty,

Convinced that a technological and industrial defense base which is robust and competitive is both a strategic and an economic necessity for the two Parties,

Have agreed as follows:

ARTICLE 1
Objectives
The Parties, building on the existing strong links between their respective defense and security communities and armed forces, undertake to build a long-term mutually beneficial partnership in defense and security with the aims of:

1. maximizing their capacities through coordinating development, acquisition, deployment and maintenance of a range of capabilities, facilities, equipment, materials and services, to perform the full spectrum of missions, including the most demanding missions;

2. reinforcing the defense industry of the two Parties, fostering cooperation in research and technology and developing cooperative equipment programs;

3. deploying together into theatres in which both Parties have agreed to be engaged, in operations conducted under the auspices of the United Nations or in a coalition or bilateral framework, as well as supporting, as agreed on a case by case basis, one Party when it is engaged in operations in which the other Party is not part.

ARTICLE 2
Scope
The Parties agree that cooperation undertaken under the provisions of this Treaty
shall include:

1. the strengthening of the cooperation between the armed forces of both Parties which shall include increasingly close cooperation in the following fields: the conduct of joint exercises and other training activities; joint work on military doctrine and exchange of military personnel; sharing and pooling of materials, equipment and services, and, subject to the provisions of Article 5(2), close co-operation in contributing to and pooling forces and capabilities for military operations and employment of forces;

2. continuing and reinforcing the work on industrial and armament cooperation, involving industry as appropriate, through a long-term joint approach aimed at delivering effective military equipment in the most efficient manner, minimizing national constraints and strengthening industrial competitiveness;

3. the building and joint operating of such facilities as may be agreed between the Parties;

4. the sale or loan of materials, equipment and services by one Party to the other Party or the procurement by both Parties from third Parties;

5. the development of their defense technological and industrial bases around key technologies with efficient corporate governance mechanisms;

6. the attachment or exchange of personnel between the Parties;

7. the exchange of information relating to the political, policy, planning and decision-making processes involved in the planning, launching and command and control of bilateral and multilateral military and civil-military operations;

8. subject to national security regulations, the exchange of classified data and information relating to the performance of different defense equipment and systems as well as for operational purposes.

ARTICLE 3
Deployment and Employment of Forces
1. The deployment and employment of the armed forces of each Party shall remain a national responsibility at all times.

2. The deployment or employment of the armed forces of one Party together with or on behalf of the other Party in any operation shall be on the express command of the first Party and in agreement in writing with the other Party. Such deployment or employment shall involve, after careful consideration by both Parties, a direction by the Parties to their respective authorities concerning the strategic objectives, scale of operation, mission, duration and end state. The Parties shall form, in advance of deployment or employment, a common understanding of the purpose and the legal basis under international law for such deployment or employment and appropriate and complementary rules of engagement.

3. Appropriate command and control arrangements shall be agreed by both Parties for all bilateral deployments or operations.

ARTICLE 4
Access to Facilities, Equipment or Support Functions
1. Each Party undertakes to make available and to guarantee unhindered access to any facility, equipment and support function where cooperation undertaken under this Treaty has led to both Parties sharing facilities, equipment or support functions or to dependence by one Party on facilities, equipment or support
functions of the other Party, subject to any exceptions to such access set out in any applicable agreement or arrangement relating to such cooperation.

Statement on the Recent Initiative Launched by the Attorney General

The Department of External Affairs is strongly opposed to the recent move by Attorney General Fuzzybigfoot to record the license plate numbers of all Muslims currently residing in Atlasia. The Department finds this action to be unnecessary, illogical, and detrimental to the relations of the Atlasian government with the Islamic community both here and abroad. In particular, the Department finds important allies such as Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia will be less likely to trust and work with Atlasia due to the Attorney General's actions, casting doubt as they do upon the loyalty and trustworthiness of Muslims. The Department of External Affairs would like to remind the Atlasian populace and the international community that they are not supportive of this action, and that the actions of the Attorney General do not necessarily correlate with our ability to co-operate with other nations. We hope that Atlasia can continue to work with Islamic nations such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, and Pakistan in order to constrain Iran, despite this incident.
