Remove the [list] template. I'm not even going to bother trying to replicate the markup on the passed resolutions list if it passes. It's hard enough updating the list without having to replicate all the markup authors like to use (it doesn't all neatly appear in C&P the same way it would when you quote a forum post).

After seeing this draft being submitted to the WA the delegate of Capitalist Paradise has one major concern, will terrorism really be combated by this WA resolution? While it is good to put some restrictions on the manufacture we fail to see how this truly fights terrorism.

I will be upfront in that I will probably be against this should it come up to the floor (our region is strange that way at times)...
I might argue that it would have "no" military application; I just would argue that such a military application would be gross, vile, evil, and a violation of most laws of war. Note that there is a minor Trojan horse in the proposal as the proposal of "transfer or sale of radiological material" and one might argue that a number of waste products of the nuclear industry might be considered radiological material. However, I see this is a good thing as the clause seems a reasonable precaution since such parties often tend to eventually attack the hand that feeds it.

Many thanks for your support, but it seems that whatever misguided telegram campaign that was circulating not only prevented a considerable amount of delegates from approving this, but also got a few to withdraw their approvals. Unfortunately, while this is a proposal that Sciongrad would like to see on the books as soon as possible, it seems like this one will have to be put on the back burner for a few weeks in order for the toxicity of the TG campaign to subside. Suggestions, comments, and questions in the mean time would be splendid.

A radiological weapon as described is not a nuclear weapon and thus makes no challenge against NAPA.
