The MFA of the FEUSSR will attend the UAN session.
The FEUSSR proposes a motion to enact the following sanctions on Orange-bourgogne from all UAN member states:
This is due to the imperialist theft and/or pillaging of the following national treasures and/or cultural artefacts:
The burning of the Old Summer Palace, an intangible, irreplaceable cultural artefact that was destroyed in the name of European greed;
The looting of the Haiyantang Zodiac fountain with its 12 bronze animal heads (currently in the Musée Chinois of the Palace of Fontainebleau, Labyrnna - the heads of the rabbit and rats were returned to the National Museum);
The burning of bronze vessels, daring back to the Shang, Zhou and Han dynasties that were up to 3,600 years old in 1860;
The Forty Scenes of the Yuanmingyuan (currently in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Labyrnna);
The Admonitions of the Court Instructress;
$20 billion USD in reparations and restitution as recompense for looting by the British Legation in the Boxer Rebellion of 1900;
Around 1.6 million looted Qing antiquities which currently reside in museums across the world, with more than half (~0.8 million) from the Old Summer Palace itself;
and other looted antiquities yet to be named or identified.
"One day two bandits entered the Summer Palace. One plundered, the other burned. Victory can be a thieving woman, or so it seems. The devastation of the Summer Palace was accomplished by the two victors acting jointly. Mixed up in all this is the name of Elgin, which inevitably calls to mind the Parthenon. What was done to the Parthenon was done to the Summer Palace, more thoroughly and better, so that nothing of it should be left. All the treasures of all our cathedrals put together could not equal this formidable and splendid museum of the Orient. It contained not only masterpieces of art, but masses of jewelry. What a great exploit, what a windfall! One of the two victors filled his pockets; when the other saw this he filled his coffers. And back they came to Europe, arm in arm, laughing away. Such is the story of the two bandits.
We Europeans are the civilized ones, and for us the [Qing] are the barbarians. This is what civilization has done to barbarism."
- Victor Hugo
We formally submit the city of Byzantium as a central location for the summit on discussions and reclamation efforts of objects of importance from UKOB instead of Geneva.
Byzantium is a city capable of hosting such a summit and can offer the utmost security. Byzantium is not just a city of Hellas, but a city of the world.
