Ladies and gentlemen,
we want to express our support to most of what has been said so far by you. It is nice to see that there is a general agreement amongst us concerning basic ideas of what the new organisation shall be like.
We especially agree to Mr. Friedman's idea of compulsory top-level mandates and of optional resolutions. We strongly agree to the idea to make membership voluntary and that no nation of the IDU may be forced to join the new regional organisation nor to remain a member against its will. These two ideas can guarantee that national law will only have to subordinate to international law in case that's necessary and that - up to a certain point - the people of a nation will be governed only by those they have chosen to govern them. The organiosation should have the right determine borders where they are necessary - for example, democracy and human rights mustn't be optional - but within these borders, individual nations should be allowed to decide which laws they have and whether or not they adopt a resolution. This united diversity seems good to us, and it can be achieved by voluntary membership and by co-existence of compulsory and voluntary resolutions.
Furthermore, we would like to bring up the idea that either all or some resolutions of the organisation should be open also to those nations of the region which aren't members of the organisation. For example, if we agree on a mutual non-agression pact, nations from outside the organisation should be given the right to apply for joining the pact, so that they can't attack a member state and can't be attacked by a member state. Of course, the members of the organisation should have to right to decide whether the organisation adopts or turns down the nation's application.
