| Message | Mr Speaker, Who on Terra would in his right mind support such a terribly written and absurd treaty? Not only does this treaty has no other purpose than to point out obvious ideaa that everyone already agreed on, like that terrorism is a bad thing and that countries have to collaborate with each other when it comes to fighting, there are major issues with some of the contents of this bill, mostly in the article 4 and the article 6. The article 4 state that we would have the obligation to share intelligence on terrorism with other signators. As anyone who has the slightest knowledge about how secret service work would tell you, it is certainly not a good idea to systematicaly give every intelligence we have on terrorism with foreign country that we are not sure that we can trust. The article 6 state that every signators shall either execute terrorist in their nations or extradite them to nations that will. As I have already point out in one of my previous intervention in the senate, this is a terrible idea. To give up on our own justice system and to extradite our criminals to another nation for them to be executed would greatly undermine our justice system. -David West Senator and former minister of Foreign Affairs |

| Message | Mr. PSeaker, Article 4 allows for the sharing of information between signatory. We do not understand the issue with telling another nation we received a leak on a bomb about to explode in a mall. Article 6 brings these terrorists to justice Apparently, it is a nessecarcy measure to have to formally recognize terrorism as an evil, since some parties, such as the NPP would rather advance their progressive agenda than fight for the Hutorian people.

| Message | Mr. Speaker, First of all, the accusation of the National Salvation Front are vile and completly unacceptable. Of course the Natioanl Progress Party believe in fighting agains't terrorism and of course we believe that terrorism is evil we simply recognise that this treaty is completly ineffective and a threat to effort in fighting agains't terrorism. Article 4 is problematic because we can't necessarily trust the intelligence of foreign nations to protect vital information about terrorism. For exemple, if we discover the emplacement were a terrorist group is hiding, we can't always trust every foreign nation not to share, accidentaly or not, this information with this terrorist group. For the article 6, once again we are not agains't the idea of bringing terrorists to justice, we are simply agains't the idea of bringing terrorist to the justice of a foreign coutry. -David West Senator and former minister of Foreign Affairs |

So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you." - Harry Browne |
