What are your opinions on this upcoming General Assembly proposal?

Remember that World Assembly members are free to vote however they want on proposals.


Nuclear Security Convention
Proposed by Chester Pearson
Nuclear Security Convention
Category: International Security
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Chester Pearson


The World Assembly,

RECOGNIZING that nuclear energy is a relatively clean and efficient source of energy,

UNDERSTANDING the right of member nations to use nuclear energy for peaceful purpose,

ALSO REALIZING the potential threat posed to all members in regards to the acquisition of nuclear technology by rogue states, terrorist and/or extremist organizations,

ALARMED by the possibility of widespread devastation that could occur as the result of the uncontrolled proliferation of nuclear technology, particularly by non-members who are not bound by the conventions of international law,

RESOLVING to enact a sensible policy that mitigates the potential for nuclear warfare and the consequences thereof,

The General Assembly hereby:
  1. For the purposes of this convention defines nuclear energy as the energy released by nuclear reactions,

  2. Requires member nations take all necessary precautions to ensure their nuclear materials, technology and information that have the potential for weaponization are fully secured against unauthorized release,

  3. Demands that member nations take all measures necessary and practical in preventing the transfer of nuclear technology, design specifications, and materials if there is reason to suspect that they will be weaponized,

  4. Clarifies that nothing in this resolution shall be interpreted as affecting the right of member nations to research or use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, nor denying members nations the right to possess or produce nuclear armaments via their own technological and manufacturing capacities.

This is not a great proposal, but it is good enough for my vote.

I sympathise with the intent behind this proposal, but I feel its wording is too vague to be effectual.

For example, what are "...all necessary precautions..." or "...all measures necessary and practical..."?

In failing to enumerate what exact restrictions it is talking about, this proposal is wide open to interpretation (or misinterpretation) by member states, and lacks any teeth to enforce its stipulations.

For this reason, I am Against this resolution.
“It is significant that, as innocent babies are killed, and capital punishment is withheld from their murderers, the same men who plead for the murderer's life also demand the “right” to abortion. Usually, the same picketers that carry a sign one day, “Abolish Capital Punishment,” also carry “Legalize Abortion” another day. When this is called to their attention, their answer is, “There is no contradiction involved.” They are right: the thesis is “condemn the innocent and free the guilty.” ~ R. J. Rushdoony, founder of Christian Reconstructionism

"Don't give up! I believe in you all.
A person's a person, no matter how small!
And some very small persons will not have to die
If you make yourselves heard! So come on, now, and TRY!" ~Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who
