| Status: Repealed | |
The August 2023 Foreign Policy of the Arstotzkan Union was the fourth published foreign relations policy of the Arstotzkan Union. In late-July 2023 the Department of International Affairs and Relations announced it would be updating the Arstotzkan Union's foreign policy following developments in intermicronational affairs.
The August 2023 policy was the fourth update to the Arstotzkan Union's foreign agenda since its founding. It was also the second and final foreign policy passed by the Department of International Affairs and Relations.
Several changes had been made by the Department of International Affairs and Relations, with Section 1 being given a fifth article which absolves and prevents any relations with a Coalition member state and enforces diplomatic protections to UMTA members as well as upholding a political and economic embargo on the Coalition of United Micronations. The policy also codifies Protocol 1 of the UMTA in Arstotzkan Law.
Five new macro-nations have been placed into unrecognized status under the new policy, with those being, the People's Republic of China, Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Republic of the Union of Myanmar, Republic of Serbia, Republic of Indonesia and the failing Republic of South Africa. The Arstotzkan Union does extend powers of recognition to Western Sahara and recognises the independence movement there.
On 9 October the First President informed the Chief Ambassador of International Relations that he would amend the August 2023 Foreign Policy through executive powers and recognise the State of Palestine and withhold all recognition for the State of Israel.
