On the Formation of an International Nuclear Safety Authority
#13

Ambassador Marzanna Starosta of Kerlile had been chewing on her lip throughout Kaltē's speech. She scribbled a couple of notes and then switched on her own mic to respond.

"Thank you, Ambassador Kaltē, for your desire to protect the entirety of the IDU from nuclear disasters. While Kerlile would have no specific concerns in the present day about your amendment, it would be remiss of me not to mention the potential risks of such a proposal on the LIDUN workers in question. Now, as you know..."

She paused, trying to figure out how to word this within the restraints of Kerlian diplomatic policy. "As you know, Kerlile's border policy has changed radically in recent years. In a hypothetical where we were to have a nuclear disaster, we would certainly allow workers from LIDUN to assist, in this year, 2023 of the common calendar. Now, however, in the hypothetical where the exact same thing occurred in 2017... well. That would have caused significant problems, as I'm sure many of you are picturing now all too vividly."

"At the risk of sounding blunt, it is unsafe and unethical to send civilian workers into a country that does not consent to their presence. Now, we would support a proposal that allows INSA analysts to enter non-signatory countries with the consent of the nation in question regarding specific instances that come up in the future. Now, most governments are not run by complete fools. The most likely scenario if a nuclear disaster was to occur anywhere is that either the nation in question is capable of responding to the situation without outside help, or that they will choose to ask for help. Those few countries whose leaders might, say, send cats to clear up a nuclear spill or any other such nonsense, are few and far between. Besides, the nation in said example is not a LIDUN member regardless."
