What are your opinions on this General Assembly proposal?

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


Nuclear Weapons Accord
Proposed by Chester Pearson
Nuclear Weapons Accord
Category: International Security
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Chester Pearson


The World Assembly,

UNDERSTANDING that nuclear weapons are an integral part of some nations deterrence strategy,

CONFIRMING the right of member nations to possess and use nuclear weapons in warfare,

ALSO REALIZING the potential threat posed to civilians caught in the blast effects of nuclear detonations,

DEEPLY ALARMED that international law permits civilians to be targeted by nuclear weapons,

THUS RESOLVING to enact a sensible policy that mitigates the civilian casualties resulting from a nuclear exchange between hostile nations,

The General Assembly hereby:
  1. For the purposes of this convention defines a nuclear weapon as a weapon fueled by nuclear reactions,

  2. Demands member nations take all necessary precautions to ensure they do not intentionally target civilian populations with nuclear weapons unless:

    1. A hostile nation places targets of critical strategic value within major civilian population centers or;

    2. A hostile nation tries to intentionally shield key military assets with civilian populations.

  3. Permits the usage of nuclear weapons in a counter-value role should another hostile nation target their civilian populations in defiance of this accord,

  4. Requires member nations to ensure their nuclear stockpile remains in the sole possession of their duly authorized government forces only; Furthermore civilians and private corporations not acting on behalf of duly authorized government forces shall be prohibited from possessing nuclear armaments for any reason,

  5. Clarifies that nothing in this resolution shall be interpreted as affecting the right of member nations to utilize nuclear weapons against military targets as part of their defense strategy.

As always, I'm skeptical that a proposal like this could actually be enforced; but I agree with its goals.

The moderators have removed this proposal from quorum.
  • "After receiving a GHR with a challenge to the category of this proposal, a team of moderators determined that this proposal does not 'boost police and military budgets.' We recommend that the author consider additional revisions to this proposal's text, should he wish to resubmit, to ensure that the text properly fits within an established GA proposal category."
