Spoiler for Neku:


@ Sir Dearka

@.@;; what sovereignty? PLANTs/ EA and all other countries were effectively made back to what they were BEFORE the first war happened in SEED. There was no issue with it. Destiny PLAN wasn't even just effectively talking about treating the entire world as a lab test or something. It was only about assigning the right jobs to people with the right genetic makeup for it. It's like countries would only have to follow the genetic superiority of their constituents and it would theoretically allow for no more wars to happen.

Anyway, you say that she has the right not to violate it. So I guess this makes it pretty clear that she did violate it. So in the case of your argument, it's like you're saying that stealing is also OK unless you were caught. In this case, you did still STEAL, and it is wrong. This is the same thing that applies to Lacus. She violated the Treaty, whatever reason that you say that she didn't because she fought for the people. etc. In your logic, it would also be right to assume that killing is also not subject to any kind of punishment, because yes, it can be right under some set conditions like defending oneself from getting killed...but you still killed a person, you took someone else's life, and killing by most accounts and perspectives is bad first and foremost. It still is the same.

The laws were created in a way that it would only allow killing to be forgiven up to a certain degree, and it also is dependent on the accused capacity to secure themselves excellent lawyers, and in some cultures we could be faced with an entirely new cultural perspective in killing other people (like we have an old concept here in the Philippines: "ubusan ng lahi" or vanquishing/killing an entire clan of related kin of the suspect due to something bad that was done to the victim and the victim's family is retaliated at as well until there is literally none left on both sides; not sure if it still happens though in this day and age) or themselves/suicide, like what happens in seppuku (not sure if it is still relevant today). They might think it right, but we may think it wrong, cause it goes against our own upbringing, so it really IS a matter of perspective, but the situation still remains the same, taking another person's life.

@ monstert

You just completely contradicted yourself. In this case, the Treaty then applies to EVERYONE on the planet and in the PLANTs, because the Treaty doesn't only apply to both PLANTs and EA. So yes, Lacus violated it.

So can you give concrete examples as to why you think she didn't break the Treaty? She has Freedom, then she created the Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice, which could be theoretically being built in the last 2 years from the end of SEED to the point wherein the SF and IJ were first deployed. They were among those completely banned for what they represent.
But then again, since everybody is making a joke of the Junius Treaty, then we should just state that it was indeed just a joke to make for debate fuel like this. But still, like PLANTs/ EA, Lacus is also one of the many who violated the Treaty. I do not see why you can't comprehend this fact.

So um, how does this not include Lacus in the Treaty breaking? SF and IJ couldn't HAVE been built in a few days, or few episodes, or a few weeks.
