History
Following the Creeperian Civil War, due to its status as the deadliest conflict in human history and the economic problems it caused for the surrounding regions, several members of the international community founded the Terraconserva Council of Nations, an international body to mediate global disputes and pass resolutions regarding international policy, the foundation of which was formalized by the ratification of the Charter of the Terraconserva Council of Nations. The organization was headquarted in Bostonia, adding to its influence both in Quebecshire and now as a major global diplomatic centre. Of the founding members of the organization Quebecshire, Greater Sacramento, and Eminople became permanent members, more informally referred to as the "Big Three," earning them permanent placement in both principle institutions and the condition of unanimous consent in regards to Security Council and admittance matters, effectively providing them a veto power in most circumstances.
Quebecshire helped grow the organization in its early decades, contribuing to its disussions and mediation efforts, as the organization was largely centered around international dialouge at the time. Quebecshire voted in favour of the admission of every new applying member in the twentieth century which greatly expanded the scope of the organization. The Administration of International Affairs directly manages the mission under the higher management of the Speaker of the Parliament and Premier Administrator of Quebecshire.
Administration of International Affairs
The Administration of International Affairs of Quebecshire is the national level government agency responsible for all foreign diplomacy initiatives directed by the Speaker of the Parliament, the Head of Government. It oversees the List of diplomatic missions of Quebecshire, as well as other foreign operations, including cooperating with List of diplomatic missions in Quebecshire. The Administrator of International Affairs is appointed by the Speaker of the Parliament and is also a sitting member of Parliament. Philippe Dumont is the incumbent Administrator, serving since September 16, 2019. Dumont was appointed by Speaker of the Parliament Lucien LaRochelle at the formation of his second government.
The three major broad organizations which Quebecshire is a member of and sends delegations to include the Terraconserva Council of Nations, Terraconserva Economic Union, and Quebecosphere International Organization. Quebecshire is additionally a member of other sub-organizations within the aforementioned three and cooperates with or observes other international groupings. The delegation to the Terraconserva Council of Nations is widely considered to be one of, if not the most important sub-agency of the Administration of International Affairs. It employs many, diplomats, attorneys, bureaucrats, and other positions necessary. The delegation operates beneath the Administrator's management and includes Quebecshire's functions in all Terraconserva Council of Nations matters including but not limited to the: General Assembly, Security Council, Terraconserva International Court, Terraconserva International Police Cooperative, Terraconserva Economic Union Caucus at the Terraconserva Council of Nations.
The Administration's and the Administrator's direct and personal involvement varies on matters, but can range from general objective setting to direct involvement in decision making in regards to resolutions and other statements provided to the Terraconserva Council of Nations in Bostonia, passing the execution of those policy decisions to the delegation itself within the Administration. The mission to the Terraconserva Council of Nations represents the goals of the Administration of International Affairs and by extension, the goals of the overall Administration and government, led by the Speaker of the Parliament.
General Assembly
Mission
The Quebecshirite mission to the General Assembly of the Terraconserva Council of Nations is housed in the same several-floor office space as the entire delegation in Bostonia, Quebecshire.
"The mission statement and purpose of the Permanent Mission of Quebecshire to the General Assembly of the Terraconserva Council of Nations is to advance international cooperation, peace, and sensible regulation. Quebecshire firmly believes the spirit of standard international regulations should be on a diplomatic basis rather than authoritative one, seeking to agree upon fair and just rules and regulations on international behavior to stand as law to better the development and standards of living on Terraconserva."
Resolutions
TCN Resolution 008
Quebecshire voted in favour of TCN Resolution 008, designed to end commercial whaling in on Terraconserva. Despite voting in favour of the resolution, Quebecshire has not expressed interest in sitting on the Terraconserva Whaling Commission.[1]
TCN Resolution 010
Quebecshire authored, presented, and voted in favour of TCN Resolution 010, which regulated methods of capital punishment internationally. Quebecshire defended the resolution as compatible with sovereignty on the basis that it did not prohibit capital punishment, asserting that the regulations simply protected human dignity.[2]
TCN Resolution 015
Quebecshire voted against the establishment of the Joint Education Committee, with the Administration of International Affairs suggesting it may lead to legal confliction with the Constitution of Quebecshire.[3]
Shortly after the passage of the resolution, Administrators Philippe Dumont and Claire Delisle stated they could not enforce the resolution within the provisions of the Constitution. In response, the Terraconserva Foreign Policy Institute in Quebecshire, represented by Stéphane Duval filed a lawsuit to the High Council of Quebecshire.[4] The case was argued shortly after by both sides.[5] On April 7, 2020, the case was decided in favour of the Administration, and Quebecshire did not become involved in the Joint Education Committee.[6]
TCN Resolution 018
Quebecshire was absent from voting for TCN Resolution 018. The resolution sought to repeal the establishment of the Joint Education Committee. Some have speculated that Quebecshire's delegation was ordered to be absent as to not legitimize TCN Resolution 015 by voting on the proposed repeal resolution.[citation needed]
TCN Resolution 021
Quebecshire voted in favour of TCN Resolution 021 and its creation of the Terraconserva Database of Endangered Animal Species. In their statement to the TCN, the Quebecshirite delegation cited Speaker of the Parliament Lucien LaRochelle's record on environemental issues.[7]
TCN Resolution 022
Quebecshire voted against TCN Resolution 022. The delegation expressed support for ensuring environmental conservation, but condemned the operative clause requiring member states to obtain the consent International Geographic Site Survey, claiming it was unconstitutional.[8]
On October 22, 2020, Quebecshire submitted TCN Resolution 031 to repeal TCN Resolution 022.[9]
TCN Resolution 026
Quebecshire authored, presented, and voted in favour of TCN Resolution 026 to create the Terraconserva International Court. Despite controversy, the resolution passed, with Quebecshirite insistence that it did not negatively impact national sovereignty nor pose a risk of fiscal waste.[10]
TCN Resolution 027
Quebecshire co-authored, presented, and voted in favour of TCN Resolution 027 as a follow up to TCN Resolution 026. The resolution clarified the process to invoke the Terraconserva International Court's authority on legal matters.[11]
TCN Resolution 031
Quebecshire authored, presented, and voted in favour of TCN Resolution 031, submitted to repeal TCN Resolution 022. The delegation called the previous resolution a violation of national sovereignty, a "lapse in judgement," and also suggested it was an overstep of TCN authority.[12]
Security Council
Mission
The Quebecshirite mission to the Security Council of the Terraconserva Council of Nations is housed in the same several-floor office space as the entire delegation in Bostonia, Quebecshire.
"The mission statement and purpose of the Permanent Mission of Quebecshire to the Security Council of the Terraconserva Council of Nations is to protect the international peace and order as well as advance goals in the best interest of Quebecshire and its peoples. The delegation of Quebecshire is committed to defending the integrity of its allies and supporting international security initiatives to better the peace, security, and safety of the international community of Terraconserva."
Quebecshire possesses what is effectively a veto power over the Security Council, as Eminople, Greater Sacramento, and Quebecshire must all not vote against a resolution for it to pass.
Resolutions
TCN Resolution 001
Quebecshire authored, presented, and voted in favour of TCN Resolution 001. The mission criticized what they called poor handling of deteriorating situation in Morova and hinted at future sanctions. This resolution is considered the first major international event of the 2019-20 Morovan Crisis.[13]
TCN Resolution 002
Quebecshire voted against TCN Resolution 002, which served as a veto and prevented its passage. Quebecshire defended its first veto by stating they felt it was not the most proper way to solve the stability issues in Creeperopolis.[14]
