GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL
ID: chester_pearson_1423980983
Repeal "Nuclear Arms Possession Act"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.


Category: Repeal


Resolution: GA#10


Proposed by: Chester pearson

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #10: Nuclear Arms Possession Act (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The World Assembly,

ACKNOWLEDGING that member nations have the right to defend themselves from external threats,

NOTING that numerous member nations possess, and use nuclear weapons in warfare,

REALIZING that member nations are also reluctant to surrender their ability to possess nuclear weapons,

However,

RECALLING the passage of General Assembly resolution #292 which clearly states in clause 4 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.'

ALSO RECALLING General Assembly resolution #308 which states in clause three "Permits the usage of nuclear weapons in a reciprocal role should another hostile nation deliberately target civilian populations in defiance of this accord," effectively rendering clause two moot,

NOTING that clause three states "REQUIRES that any nation choosing to possess nuclear weapons take every available precaution to ensure that their weapons do not fall into the wrong hands.", yet fails to clearly define who those "wrong hands may be",

RECOGNIZING clause two of General Assembly resolution #292 effectively closes the loophole in General Assembly resolution #10 clause #1 by stating "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," effectively making clause #1 of General Assembly resolution #10 moot as well,

CONFIDENT that since the passage of General Assembly resolutions #292, and #308, the subject of nuclear disarmament is effectively blocked, and therefore dead,

BELIEVING that the fatal flaw to clearly define "wrong hands" necessitates it repeal,

HEREBY repeals General Assembly resolution #10 "Nuclear Arms Possession Act".



Chester makes a decent argument in this proposal however, we simply put do not trust this assembly as far as we can collectively throw it with regards to our national security.
The Star Empire of Ainocra will be voting against this blatant attempt to undermine our security and we encourage all of you to do likewise.

I don't have a strong opinion on this one way or another so I'll be deferring to the region/forum.

Countin' bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums.
Because it's a repeal, and because it's hilarious to me that a CTE'd nation might get their proposal passed in the GA,

Absolutely for.
