Mathias Steyer, former Minister of Culture and the current Eirian delegate to the Social, Cultural, and Scientific Council, signalled to the chair that he wished to speak.
"First, I will extend my thanks to the Huenyan and Fellsian delegates for their discussion on this matter. Now, if I may extend my opinion on the matter to this honorable assembly..."
"I believe that the Huenyan delegation's proposal, while an extreme measure, is both valid and necessary. It does raise certain questions for the precedent that it will set, but when a state becomes as hostile to international goodwill as the Xiomeran regime has, answering such questions is far better than permitting a nation to callously disrupt the world order."
Steyer adjusted his blue and green tie. "To address the concerns voiced by the honorable delegate from High Fells, I believe that the current behavior of the Xiomeran regime is not comparable to those listed situations. I do not intend to diminish the recent behavior of the Matriarchy of Kerlile, but given that neither the invasion of Lauchenoiria nor the Aurora Programme are ongoing events, I do not see how this body nor the world would benefit from levying punishments on their state now."
"As for the doping violations committed by certain Lehvantine athletes, I would encourage this body to launch a full investigation, ideally with the cooperation of the government of Lehvant. However, we would be severely misguided if we allowed that investigation to blind us to the hostile actions of the Xiomeran regime." The Eirian glanced around, examining the faces of his fellow delegates. "I would go so far to say that Xiomera must be excluded from international sporting events for the safety of all athletes and officials involved. The world has seen that Xiomera is not afraid to kill its own athletes for simply raising concerns about their governors. How can athletes and viewers alike come together to celebrate diversity when one delegation is willing to kill its own citizens for the sake of the appearance of homogeneity?"
"I wish that such measures were not necessary, but as it stands, they are. Whether or not the Xiomeran state must be barred from participating in all international events, I leave up to further debate. However, given the history of Xiomeran assassination and the regime's flagrant disregard for both peace and the very agreements that they have signed, I must insist that the current regime in power in Xiomera gain a formal censure from this body and be barred from international sporting events until Xiomeran leaders show us that they are worthy of our trust again."
