Shireroth

We should also make sure we have jurists from DIFFERENT nations.

Yeah. I'm a candidate as everyone should know by now.

My government would be strongly against any such component being instated within the Small Commonwealth. We are interested in it as an economic organisation and a way to strengthen our relationships with its member states - we will not have any quarter with any citizens being subdued to any court which is not Pan-Micran or Ashkenatzi.

...don't shoot the messenger...

You aren't forced to join the treaty.

Are you, by chance, Antican as well? Starting to sound like it.

As Jonas says, there is no requirement to join the Court Convention. If Ashkenatza wishes to stay out of the Court, you are most welcome to do so. The Court will have no jurisdiction over Ashkenatza in that case. I suggest you read the treaties and conventions before you draw premature conclusions.

No need to become so hostile, Herr Tosha!

Likewise, Mr. Aster. You need to read the treaties before you get all antsy.

Further discussions have been initiated in Kolmenitsky, but I doubt that the outcome will be a YEA. However, it is an intriguing proposition.

Well, the rather interesting idea about this court is that nations have agreed to it (as opposed to all the other attempts to set up a UN sort of court) and have something more than just the court holding them together ... so I think it'll actually work (unlike the last however many YAMO courts). Or at least function tolerably for as long as the SC lasts.

It's already got two nations signed on.

Two more on the way, at least.

Stormark's legislature has passed this (5-0-2). Since the Emperor was one who voted in favor, I can safely assume he will provide his Imperial Assent. So we can officially count Stormark on board.

Well, I'll add you to the list once you've updated your thread in the repository.

We now have five signatory nations to this treaty (Shireroth, Stormark, Hurmu, Nelaga and Amokolia). Are we going to get this moving or what?

I guess so.

Batavia has also signed it (our representative is waiting for the signature of the King).

Well, let us know when it is formalized.

We will
