I'm going to be honest here and ask why an extra-governmental group of Capsuleers think they should be afforded the same rights and priviledges as official representatives of the other Big Three Signatories? I'm sure members of the Assembly will be treated the same as any other visitor on the day, but this seems a bit much to be asking for the same treatment as the leaders and diplomats of the State, the Federation proper and the Republic (should they choose to attend). I'm not sure lobby groups sit on the same level.

There are no membership fees, and as far as a dress code when either connected via holo or attending in person we ask only that all delegates and observers follow the decorum for any public venue.
Thank you, Taishou Xun Yu Vice-Chair of the Villore Assembly

Jueshi Onzo,
The Villore Assembly represents an important and growing section of Federal citizens, citizens who have demonstrated an ability to and willingness to engage with political, social, and economic matters of the day in order to improve the Federation. The privileges we are asking to be extended are no different to those offered to official representatives of any organisation, whether non-governmental, corporate, and so forth.
These requests have been endorsed by observers from Amarrian organisations, and were subject to lengthy debate in committee and on the assembly floor, as such I would suggest that your point is not a new one and has been debated.
Thank you kindly for your interest. Taishou Xun Yu Vice-Chair of the Villore Assembly

Nushi Teinyhr,
The Villore Assembly is quite aware of the limits of our abilities, and as I mentioned in my response to Jueshi Onzo this was also raised in the committee and on the floor and again has been discussed at length.
Thank you kindly for your interest, Taishou Xun Yu Vice-Chair of the Villore Assembly

So effectively rather then being happy to simply turn up as any other visitor will be allowed on the day, you are asking for special treatment exactly because you're a pressure group? Perhaps Providence should ask to be given special priviledges on the same basis?
We shall see what the Empire's response will be to this but I suspect you'll be enjoying the show from the same seats as everyone else on these forums.

Jueshi Volhov,
I would direct you to the fact that President Roden attended the state funeral for the late Empress Jamyl, the attendance of Federal citizens at an official public ceremony is hardly unique.

Jueshi Onzo,
Again allow me to reiterate this is not 'special treatment' or rather any more special treat than that which is afforded to representatives of a myriad of organisations attending such diplomatic events. You seem to be misapprehending the reality of diplomatic events and functions, these privileges are hardly unique and are a matter of a simple confirmation travel document and frequently afforded for all manner of events or meetings. Further asking for clarification of diplomatic status is particularly relevant given present political realities.
Thank you once again for your time. Taishou Xun Yu Vice-Chair of the Villore Assembly

I know. When your state into the open supports terrorism in the Empire, and at the same time makes it appear that he "mourns" death of the enemy. This is an excellent course of the Federation. The fact is that the Amarrians become stupid. I have information that in the past, the Federation receives money from Tash-Murkon family. (there are documents confirming the family history) While true Amarr are dying in the war, Tash-Murkon Family gets richer.

Mr Xun I assure you I do not misunderstand. The language used asking to be treated the same as any foreign dignitary effectively is a request to be invited to the event proper as dignitaries. Whether you are a head of state or CEO of a multinational you do not ever ask for an invitation to an event like this, you receive one at the host's pleasure. Your arrogance at assuming an invitation is what I take offence to, unless you are infact attending as any other visitor in which case you do not need special garauntees afforded beyond that of any other tourist.
Get your facts on diplomacy straight.

If the intention was to request the same assurances as any other non-governmental organisation during the Assembly's visit to the Empire, that explicitly is what should have been requested. Instead the language used was one explicitly asking for the same status as foreign dignitaries, that is those officially recognised invited diplomats and representatives of a foreign state. The Assembly is not an official nation in its own right and there fore cannot use the same language as nations use between themselves. It is also not a recognised official body of the Federation proper. Further, I state again one does not simply invite themselves to the event proper, one is requested by the Host.
In future I expect the Assembly to be more clear in its language on its actual position and not to assume to be able to speak as anything remotely official in regards to the Federation, and to ask only for those assurances it is entitled to.

Well that's a weirdly specific thing to be able to express a personal tendency about. I'm still not sure if you're trying to be helpful by offering "constructive criticism" (in a really unconstructive way) or trying to be destructive or just speaking your offended mood because you can. |

Well, this is interesting. I am no longer a diplomat and only speak for myself, but here is what I have to add to this kerfuffle.
Diplomacy can only be conducted by sovereign actors, which I assume this Villore Assembly is not. You're a civics club. There's nothing wrong with being a civics club and I am sure your members find a certain measure of satisfaction and worth in participating in such a club. However, a civics club has no bearing on the diplomatic relations between sovereign state actors. A Gallente civics club has no bearing at all on the Holy Amarr Empire. Honestly, we don't care.
When I was sent to Synchelle in '03 as the cultural attache to the diplomatic mission there, it was the Throne that sent a request to the Federal Government that I be afforded diplomatic privileges as an official representative of the Holy Amarr Empire. That's how the system is supposed to work. The privileges were agreed upon well before hand in treaties establishing relationships between the Amarr Empire and the Gallente Federation. Absent any agreement, there are no privileges. However, I am also sure that there are sections in those treaties that cover the treatment of foreign nationals visiting the Amarr Empire. There are also treaties that cover capsuleers. Any Villore Assembly observers would fall under these already agreed upon treaties.
Asking to be treated as an official diplomatic representative of the Gallente Federation would require the Gallente Federation to recognize you as such official representatives and for them to ask for that through the proper channels to the Empire.
By all means, come. Just don't ask for what you are not entitled to. |

Contessa della Solfete,
And in your extensive time as a diplomatic attache you never saw NGOs recognised with certain diplomatic privileges and rights in order that they might pursue their agendas? Regardless of other international treaties and relations, or the status of individual members of said NGOs? Of course you did, this is a common reality of the international society, and I repeat the notion that what the Villore Assembly is somehow remarkable or beyond the pale is frankly laughable.
Thank you kindly Taishou Xun Yu Vice-Chair of the Villore Assembly

I was personally responsible for a lot of the ideas tossed around for this delegation. This is not a time to whinge and shun foreigners because you think you know diplomacy more than the guy who's ended a civil war, among things. To quote one of my more conservative Amarr buddies:
Conservative Amarr BuddyGäó wrote:"I support it. The VA has no small amount of power and resources, and they do represent in no small part the hopes, goals, and intent of the Federation. I have not seen a capsuleer organization have a better working, more effective relationship with their faction than that of the Assembly."
I don't care what you think, as long as it's about me.

Any non-governmental organization worked through the embassy or mission of the system they were in. Some might have been afforded more privileges than a foreign national would have otherwise, but nothing on the level of an actual diplomatic delegation, which is what you've asked.
Quote:2. Requests that the members of this delegation be afforded all diplomatic rights as any other foreign delegation,
You've asked for the Villore Accords to be treated as an accredited diplomat on the same level as an official delegation from the Gallente Federation, the Caldari State, the Minmatar Republic, CONCORD, or the SOCT. This is what has caused you trouble. If you'd just announced that you were attending to observe the momentous day and all of its splendor, every Amarr would have welcomed you with open arms. If you had just announced that you were attending and requested that your delegation be given all lawful aid and protection in case of need, the Amarr would have welcomed you with open arms. However, you asked for special treatment.
Such an event is going to be crowded. There will be more people along parade routes and in cathedrals and ballrooms than could possibly fit. Even a holder like myself is pretty far down on the guest lists for the coronation galas. By asking for special treatment for your delegation, you've put yourself ahead of actual Imperial citizens and faithful subjects of Her soon to be Imperial Majesty. The reason why governments allow such important persons as ambassadors and heads of state to attend events--and put them at the head of the guest lists--is because they are important people that actually make decisions. It is far better for the Holy Amarr Empire to have a good relationship with the President of the Federation than even a few billion voters. Quid pro quo.
Come to the coronation. Have a great time; I am sure you will. Just don't assume you will be afforded any undue benefit.
If your delegation decides to swing by Nordar II and Solfete on the way back, though, as Contessa I can extend every possible courtesy for the length of your stay at my holding. |

Contessa della Solfete,
Again allow me to repeat: what other word would you choose to use to describe being afford the legal protections and aid necessary to fulfill one's role and agenda at a foreign event if not diplomatic privileges? This seemed to the committee and to the Villore Assembly a perfectly reasonable choice of language.
As I am sure you are no doubt aware that there are among any diplomatic relationship orders of precedence based on all sorts of traditional and nuanced aspects of international affairs - the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps being the senior diplomat from amongst all diplomatic missions and so forth. As such we are quite aware that the Villore Assembly delegation would not placed in the same preeminence as say delegations from the State or CONCORD. However as you'd know from your extensive experience we would still be placed within that order. Diplomatic protections and rights do not afford delegations with equal standing, one need only look at the distinction between consulates and embassies to realise this - they are both afforded diplomatic rights but are certainly not of equal standing and have distinct roles.
We do not consider the wording of this resolution, debated at length and developed with consultation from Amarrian organisations, to be unreasonable.
Thank you kindly, Taishou Xun Yu Vice-Chair of the Villore Assembly

You simply ask or politely announce that you are going to attend and unless the host refuses, the implication therein is that the host will extend to you the principle of hospitality so long as you, the guest, are respectful of the laws and customs set forth by the host. This typically includes protection against unlawful attacks, be they physical or otherwise.
By asking for special treatment, you are in fact insinuating that the host is incapable or potentially not able to afford you their hospitality and in doing so, you cause offense.
