(c) a brief précis of the facts of the matter:
Mr. Arbiter,
I have noticed that not long ago, a resolution was proposed by the Micras Treaty Organisation (MTO) with the intent to carry out an anti-piracy mission. I have also noticed that Her Niftiness the Kaiseress has already assured th MTO of Shireroth's support for the motion. However, it is my opinion that this resolution needs to be treated as a treaty, since it is agreed upon by a collective of national governments.
I am aware of the fact that Shireroth has ratified the Law of the Seas, which prohibits pirate activity. However, I believe that this resolution goes much further than this treaty, since it explicitly calls for direct action rather than condemnation.
As you must be aware, our Charter dictates that the Landsraad must pass Treaties, and, if you and I are in agreement upon the nature of this resolution, the Landsraad's vote is needed before the representative of the Imperial Republic supports this resolution in the General Assembly of the MTO. In that case, the voiced support for the resolution by Her Niftiness should be deemed preliminary.
