The South PacificBoard

I am announcing today that the Government of Volaworand has decided that Volaworand will withdraw cooperation from the World Court, based in Deumontiverland. This is in connection with a baseless case naming Volaworand as a defendant, challenging the actions of our ISU security service at home and abroad, while using illegal leaks and false rumors as evidence.

We are disappointed that the WC failed to recognize that it has no jurisdiction or authority to issue any order with respect to the actions Volaworand takes to protect its own essential security. Instead, the court has become a forum for propaganda. The WC has systematically pursued a policy of hostility to Volaworand, and never allowed any sort of due process or investigation before imposing internet firewall restrictions and deploying ships along our waters. Their involvement has deepened and exaggerated a small diplomatic incident into an international crisis. Now the WC claims it is open to change and asks the international community for patience. The WC cannot practice animosity in its conduct and then ask for amity from the international community. Volaworand never acceded to the Roswaesian Decree establishing the court, and we now explicit reject the authority of this body.

I’d like to stress: Volaworand remains a party to our existing and ratified diplomatic agreements and we expect all other parties to abide by their international obligations under those. As far as our relations with Midand, Techganet, Nova Montron and Techolandia the WC has nothing whatever to do to a diplomatic effort to resolve our differences. It was a politicized use of the court itself that exacerbated the differences by encouraging these nations to cut off internet communication between our nations.

So our actions today deal with the current and any pending litigation involving Volaworand before the World Court. Given the history and abuse of the WC process, we will commence a review of all international agreements that may still expose Volaworand to purported binding jurisdiction dispute resolution in the World Court.

Volaworand will not sit idly by as baseless, politicized claims are brought against us. We encourage the nations of the South Pacific to join us in rejecting this body and standing up for their own national sovereignty.
