Aim of the APWH is
to prevent conflicts by developing a common structure and
co-operation in economic and military affairs. In case of upcoming conflicts it serves to keep up the dialogue between the members in order to avoid an escalation.
The APWH was re-founded in September, 301. It is based in Levyts'ki, the capital of the Emirate of Ir'Sukha Id-Hochland in the Sultanate of Feniz. All nations of the western hemisphere (0° W - 180° W) of Vexillium are invited to join the assembly as opposed to the old APWH which was open only to nations from Longerath, Smalik and the Western Isles, New Vexillium not yet having been discovered. (See documentation for an expert opinion on the definition of the western hemisphere.) Members are grouped in two so-called Panels, one for the Old Vexillium (0° W - 90° W) and one for the New Vexillium (90° W - 180° W), with a Presiding Secretary General each, while the affairs of the AWPH as a whole and the sessions of the plenum are lead by a Senior Secretary General.
Nations are permanently represented by ambassadors. The panels generally meet once a month at the ambassadorial level and once a year at the level of foreign ministers, followed by a plenary session. The panels elect their respective Presiding Secretaries General, and the plenum elects the Senior Secretary General. The three Secretaries General represent the APWH between the sessions. In case of need, they may summon emergency sessions. |

THE ROYAL CHRISTIANA CARTOGRAPHER Christianshaven, 05 Feb 01 To the illustrious family of cartographic, geographic and mapping institutions on Vexillium Dear Sirs, Some days ago, the term "Western Hemisphere" has been discussed in the vexwide press in connection with the request of the Kingdom of Caledon for membership in the Association for Peace in the Western Hemisphere (APWH). Colleagues came to the conclusion that the Western Hemisphere must be the part of Vexillium comprising Longerath, Smalik and Christiana. This opinion was based on the device of the flag of the APWH which shows these continents and islands. It was, however, mentioned that at the time of the creation of that flag, the hemispere of the so-called New Vexillium had not yet been discovered. Now, with the zero meridian just running between the above mentioned land masses and the Old Continent, the land mases in question without doubt form part of the Western Hemisphere. But with the New Vexillium having been discovered in the meantime, we must take into account the land masses of that hemisphere when defining hemispheres. Thus, if we define the Western Hemisphere as that to the west of the zero meridian, we have to count as part of it all islands and continents, or part of those, lying east of the 180° meridian. Caledon is part of this hemisphere as it borders the 180° meridian and streches to the east of it. So Caledon cannot be denied the APWH membership on the ground of not being part of the required hemisphere. Yours most respectfully, (signature) RCC |
Glaciaria Flag

use of its Glaciarian territory, Guadacoa. Participants have been:
