The General Assembly,
Recognizing that explosives at significant explosive velocity can cause physical and psychological harm to civilians in civilian settings if unregulated,
Acknowledging that many nations and cultures allow or mandate that their citizens carry weapons, including various explosives and that their sovereignty in that decision must be respected,
Reaffirming its staunch commitment to the well-being of its member states and peoples within these states,
Hereby:
1. Defines "explosive(s)" as any substance or manufactured substance above 100mg which can cause physical and bodily harm through means of a sudden forceful blast when activated,
2. Defines low, medium, and high damage as 100-500m/s explosive velocity, 501-1000m/s explosive velocity, and 1+km/s explosive velocity respectively,
3. Defines "civilian" as any person or area of persons where there is currently no war or acts of terror being committed,
4. Demands that member states which allow unregulated ownership of explosives (such as a citizen-soldier nation, or war nation) to require that citizens need a state approved permit if owning explosives with high damage,
5. Recommends that member states with pre-existing laws on regulated ownership of explosives to now add a questionnaire to their state census which requires the citizen to declare how many grams of explosives they own if above medium damage if not already in place,
6. Requires member states with unmaintained low to high explosives in public civilian settings be immediately secured and moved to an appropriate state or government facility where the explosive can be properly contained, at a minimum of 10 years after the most recent war, and
7. Mandates that all explosives manufacturers and distributors require government approved licenses for selling explosives to civilians, usually expected to be in the form of fireworks, which may not exceed the medium damage category. Additionally, the buyer must be made aware of the explosive limit which they can purchase. Any transaction between a civilian and manufacturer or distributors without specific state approval will result in a criminal offence punishable by law to both the buyer and the seller. Possible reasons include a popular icon hosting a large party requiring more than low damage explosives, but must be approved by the presiding government.
