Pakhshi Peace Conference - YC117 09/05 – 24/05


In light of recent developments in the cluster and the need for collective responses to these developments the Pakhshi Peace Conference is hereby proposed and announced. Capsuleers from across New Eden, originating from all legitimate interstellar political entities (as recognised by CONCORD), will meet to discuss the necessary steps and provisions for the peaceful resolution of current conflicts. It is the hope of the Pakhshi Peace Conference Organising Committee that the conference will be able to articulate a common vision for a just peace which we can then collectively, and independently, petition our respective governments with: the Pakhshi Peace Plan.

The conference will last for 15 days during which time capsuleers will engage with all topics and issues identified by them as being necessary for the achievement of a just peace. The General Congress of the Pakhshi Peace Conference will consist of all capsuleers in attendance and will be responsible for: identifying those issues and topics in need of addressing, accepting/rejecting/amending proposed solutions to these issues and the wording of the clauses for the Pakhshi Peace Plan, and finally for ratifying the Pakhshi Peace Plan.

Each issue or topic identified by the initial session of the General Congress of the Pakhshi Peace Conference will be assigned a commission. These commissions shall be comprised of those capsuleers whose interstellar governments it concerns or whom have interest/utility in belonging to the commission. These commissions shall debate in detail, and in private, the particulars of the issue or topic and eventually arriving at a solution will then put the proposed clause(s) to the General Congress for consideration.

Capsuleers who are interested in attending the Pakhshi Peace Conference are asked to notify the Honourable Dr. Arkon Sarain in writing by EVEmail prior to 2300 on 08/05/117. Further information on the conference will be sent to the delegates upon application. Questions or queries may be placed here, and we will attempt to respond in a timely manner.

We are also very proud to announce the following individuals as having taken on great personal responsibility in assisting the operations of the conference:

Mr. Ouiliam (Liam) Jeaneaux Antolliere
Chief Executive Officer, Liberty Vanguard
Press Relations Officer of the Pakhshi Peace Conference


Mr. Utari Onzo
Director, 13.
Administrative Secretary of the General Congress of the Pakhshi Peace Conference


We are sure you will join us in thanking these individuals for their commitment to the cause of peace and the general well-being of all in New Eden. We look forward to seeing many of you at the conference, and to having fruitful discussions.

The Honourable Dr. Arkon Sarain
Chief Judge, Kor-Azor Roving Tribunal
Chair of the General Congress of the Pakhshi Peace Conference

It is with a healthy sense of apprehension and a hopeful spirit that this conference is undertaken.

I will be attending as both a representative of Liberty Vanguard (and subsequently a small bloc of the Federation) but also as the Press Relations Officer.

Allow me to be candid from the outset and state that there are no doubt a number of contingencies and circumstances we may not have fully accounted for in our preliminary planning. Questions are of course welcome, but do not expect answers to necessary come swiftly as they will be given carefully and thoroughly.

It is my desire to see as many interested parties attend as desire to and even if peace is an impossible goal to strive for, let the earnest discussion between peoples bring us closer than we presently are.

I hope you will have me, despite past relations between us. If you will have me, I hope to serve as representative for the Ardishapur Family.

Pieter Tuulinen, Civire, Caldari. I would represent the opinions of the Patriot Bloc, even though I have no authority to negotiate.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Although I question the neutrality of this conference, given that it has already appointed an outspoken advocate for the Federation as an officer, I suppose I should proffer myself as a speaker on behalf of the Patriot bloc of the Caldari State.

I am honoured to accept the officer position His Honour, Doctor Sarain has offered to myself. I hope to ensure that the Conference proceeds smoothly, and look forward to working with Mr Antolliere and Doctor Sarain, along with all the Delegates and Commissions.

If you have any questions of an administrative nature for this event please don't hesitate to contact myself, for all other inquires please turn your questions over to the press office of Mr Antolliere.

I can assure you, sir, that while certainately a supporter of the Federation, Mr Antolliere has shown willingness to speak and find common ground with any and all who take the time. I, myself, will be representing both the Empire and wormhole space in general as a Director of 13. I look forward to your attendance.

Your concerns are not unfounded, Monsieur Vikarion.

However, I wish to make something clear if you will permit it.

While I will be representing the interests of Liberty Vanguard and subsequently a small bloc of the Federation, I will only be doing so when it is my turn to do so in the conference or when addressed in said capacity. For all other intents and purposes, I will remain a neutral officer serving the interests of the conference; that is a candid communication regarding a path toward peace.

Though it may mean little to you, you have my word that I will not seek to influence the greater operation of the conference or use my affiliation with the Federation in any way other than is proper for the spirit of the conference.

I ask only that I be given the chance to act with integrity in this regard and pray it does not dissuade you from attending; your voice would be most welcome.

I look forward to attending as a citizen of the Kingdom of Khanid.

I would strongly suggest this conference not limit the attendance of certain "private sector" organizations such as Serpentis, Guristas, the Syndicate and of course, the Angel Cartel. I would also recommend attendance be opened to groups from NullSec. The matters we're going to discuss effect everyone.

I would however, recommend a ban on any who claim ties to the Bloodraiders or Sansha's Nation. There is a difference between operating outside the law and actively working towards the destruction of humanity.

Five years ago, there was a similar conference and many conversations to address the incursions made by forces loyal to Sansha Kuvakei. All who attended were able to construct several effective strategies to combat Kuvakei, end the incursions and protect the civilian populations of the galaxy. CONCORD and the various governmental bodies were informed, in detail of the results of that conference and decided to ignore it in total.

Five years later, Sansha continues to prey on the populations of Man with impunity. For the last several days, they have held an Amarr system not four jumps from the Amarr homeworld. Upon relaying this information to Naval and Capsuleer forces loyal to the Empire they have decided to do nothing.

So while I will attend, and while I pray to God for every success, I hope you will forgive a healthy amount of skepticism. CONCORD and by extension, our governments have shown a complete lack of regard for the safety of our people in deference to their own agenda.

May God bless your efforts.

In this case I agree with Sinjin Mokk. I would most of all encourage Delegates from the Syndicate, but also Sansha's Nation. However, the other factions listed (including Nullsec groups) I disagree with.
However much we may disregard it, and however much of monsters they are, Sansha Kuvakei and his Nation are in fact a political entity, and perhaps not entirely in disregard to a proposed plan of peace. Also, the Syndicate is also a political entity, and could prosper from the P.P.C.

Just food for thought, although I hope you will indeed consider it.

Allow us time to deliberate on the exactly how (if at all) we will be limiting the invitation. At this time it is our intent to keep the doors open to representatives from any organization not deemed a threat to humanity. Organizations that are not welcome: Sansha's Nation, Equilibrium of Man and Bloodraiders.

Representatives from the Angel Cartel, Serpentis Corporation, Guristas, Mordu's Legion, Intaki Syndicate, Thukker Tribe and similar organizations including independent capsuleer empires will be considered on a case-by-case basis in the interests of security.

Let me reiterate that the screening is in the interests of security, not in the interests of limiting the representation of different ideals, philosophies or goals.

With respect, that was five years ago, this is now.

The founding and organizing members and organizations behind this conference understand and accept the possibility that it may result in no change to the present state of affairs. However, we also know that doing nothing simply because nothing may come of what you do would result in nothing ever being done. Striving against the odds allowed humanity to reach the stars and enabled the existence of capsuleers. Despite the odds against this conference, it will continue forward in the hopes that something may come of it; if not lasting peace, then candid conversation and understanding that may lead to a better future.

While it is true that the governments and various independent capsuleer organizations may choose not to respond, participate or even simply ignore the conference, if enough power and resources are put behind an ideal, it can become reality. History is evidence of that.

Skepticism is welcome and healthy indeed. I would only ask that you do not let your skepticism hinder your earnest participation.

Thank you.

Sansha's Nation is not a political entity. Sansha's Nation is a cult of personality in pursuit of a despot's idea of utopia.

At this time, the conference has elected to view Sansha's Nation as an apolitical non-entity as it has never provided any interest of peace nor coexistence.

Well, I will not argue if you have already elected to view them that way.

Pardon me for asking, but is that a conference for peace, or a conference for peace with the explicit intent to form a coalition of empires against the emergent "threats" (drifters, etc.) ?

That would make a huge difference in terms of the restriction of entry and the final goal of the conference itself, no ?

You need no pardon for asking questions, that is the purpose of this forum.

The intent behind this conference is to pursue honest discussion regarding a path to peace between the disparate peoples of the cluster. The "emergent threats" of the cluster already have multiple entities coordinating to combat them.

This conference hopes to open the floor to candid discussion between representatives of the varying ideas, governments, nations, bodies and empires throughout the cluster in the hopes to bring about a future less plagued by conflict and strife. Should the delegates of the conference wish to discuss coordinated plans for combating the "emergent threats" of the cluster, then the floor will be opened to that discussion.

Firstly, 'we' didn't bomb nation while it was minding it's own business. sat on a planet or three in stain and just accepting those willing to join... quite the opposite.
The empires formed together to combat nation after it purchased and experimented upon thousands of Matari slaves.

Once the abominations you had created became public knowledge, even Kuvakei's allies in Amarr turned upon him.

Minding your own business indeed.

to be clear, the initial post said that anyone from one of the legitimate (read: legal) empires can attend, Nation, for all your claims to the contrary, is nothing more than a pirate organisation.
One that, whether led by an individual or otherwise, has failed to live up to any of it's claims.

Since we cannot destroy them out of hand, at some point, we are going to have to negotiate an armistice. I, personally, doubt that Nation or the Blooders have a lot to offer such a conference, but we are going to have to find out what a mutual peace would look like, if one is even possible.

Not at this conference, it seems.

I do not disagree with you, personally.

However, it is the position of the conference that until a workable peace is reached between the parties involved in this conference; it is premature to seek peaceful resolution with apolitical or openly hostile entities deemed threats to humanity.

If strides are made toward a workable peace solution between the delegates and their respective entities at this conference, then perhaps we can make progress toward other entities as well.

However, it is prudent to take one step at a time.

Regarding Sansha's Nation

Please refrain from pursuing debate or discussion regarding Sansha's Nation, its history or the "rights" and "wrongs" of history in this thread. The P.P.C. has made clear its stance toward Sansha's Nation and would request that any further debate regarding it be taken to another thread in order to keep this one on task.

Cooperation is appreciated. Thank you.

To any would-be delegate(s) of Sansha's Nation

You are invited to address your concerns, grievances or requests privately to the officers of the P.P.C. if you wish for our stance to be challenged in regards to Nation.

First and foremost, all the colonies and our homeworld must be liberated from foreign occupants.
