Chapter Fourteen: The Controversial Peacekeeping Mission of the Blue Ribbon Committee

Just a few blocks away from the Commission's House is another prominent edifice in the beautiful skyline of the District of Peace. It is called the Palace Hall, an architectural achievement that is most striking when one is new to the place, a thing of beauty, a sight pleasing to the eyes.

Within its walls is the Main Hall where the Blue Ribbon Committee meets. It is one of the most important Committees of the Treaty of Peace in charge of peacekeeping missions whose decisions are binding to all, and the permanent members of which represents 85% of the total troops of all the member states of the Commission on Appointments combined.

We now find the Blue Ribbon Committee in session inside of the Hall being described earlier, discussing the peacekeeping mission near the border of the Gawkins Republic, the northern frontier of the Commission.

"It is very prudent to ask the President of Gawkins to join us in this meeting as the situation in their borders worsen. The Commission's sovereignty simply cannot be disregarded by trespassing barbaric pirates. We support this resolution of dispatching more troops to intensify henchmen presence in the area," the Delegate from the Tenth Kingdom says.

The President of Gawkins replied, "We would further ask the Committee to assist us in protecting and guarding our trade routes with the Provincial Leaf. More ambushes have been reported in recent days as pirates pillage our commercial products."

The Delegate from South Kingdom, being a permanent member, had a different view, however, and the resolution is in danger of being struck down by a veto. "I don't think this is necessary," he began. "The Committee has done enough responsibility to keep the situation in order. It is simply a never ending cycle that this Committee feels a fatigue of some sort in protecting this trade route that is not important at all."

The Delegate from the Gawkins Republic spoke in its defense, "That is not true! This trade route is also important to the Commission. Please help us not to totally block it."
