Raelians to Ban Ki-moon and Putin: ‘Give Extraterrestrials special diplomatic status ASAP!’

GENEVA, March 31^st, 2016 – While holding worldwide public events to bring awareness on the project to build an Embassy to welcome Extraterrestrials, Raelian delegations will also reach World leaders in New York and Moscow. These events will take place on April 2, which they have declared “ET Embassy Day”.

“While Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon will be handed an optional protocol to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, provisionally titled the “Optional Protocol Concerning Embassies for Extraterrestrials”, a Swiss delegation of the Geneva based International Raelian Movement and Dmitri Porublev, the leader of the Russian Raelian Movement, will present an official request to President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, for the extraterritoriality of the Embassy”, said Daniel Turcotte, a Raelian guide and Rael’s assistant for the ET Embassy project.

“Forty two years ago, an advanced extraterrestrial civilization contacted us and respectfully asked to be welcomed in an official Embassy”, added Turcotte. “While scientists were rejecting the idea of extraterrestrial existence 40 years ago, there are now enough evidence for a majority of them to agree with that possibility. It is time to go one step further and finally acknowledge their request and organize their welcome.”

Raelians believe the extraterrestrial civilization referred to by Turcotte created all life on Earth, including human beings, and that it is very peaceful and far more advanced than we are, both scientifically and philosophically.

“They’re known as the Elohim, and they won’t officially return to Earth until we welcome them in an Embassy and grant them appropriate diplomatic status,” Turcotte explained. “This is why we respectfully request that Secretary General Ban Ki-moon propose a conference of all nations that are parties to the Vienna convention for the purpose of discussing our submitted draft protocol, and that he also call for offers to host it.”

“In a world of violence and wars, already tens of thousands have recognized the hope that brings the knowledge that other human beings created us to enjoy life on Earth”, concluded Turcotte. “ We will be thousands again in the streets or holding conferences worldwide to carry further this awareness and the hope and peace it brings along.”
