Because we have a right too. People should not be held back at what they do. Making it null will stop the control and achieve world peace.

Nukes have to hit something. Look IRL When America dropped a nuclear missle on japan. They surrendered.


Nukes are use as defenses and to end wars.

OOC: I'm seeing no actual arguement for nuking the repeal, and a touch of legislating in a repeal.

Defense. Mmm hmmm. Because civilians are so much more dangerous than military targets.

Not going to happen.

"Ambassador, that is the easily the most idiotic claim I have ever heard a representative here make. It is the fault of a civilian that they didn't uproot their entire lives for a war they didn't start? How exactly were they supposed to know a nuclear weapon was heading their way in order to take appropriate precautions? Are you seriously trying to justify their deaths because the government failed to re-enact a video game premise for the entire population?

"You're awful lucky nobody is going to start a nuclear war with the nation of Kouassi to prove a point, ambassador. Perhaps if it was your family in the sights of nuclear fire your opinion might be a little different, and not this inanity that you're pushing."

Ambassador, we appalled by your blame-the-victim philosophy. That said, take note, when both a staunch pro-nuke nation like CDSP and a staunch anti-nuke nation like ours tells you this is a very bad idea, odds are, it's a very very very bad idea.

Parsons: If you think Bell represents a pro-nuke nation... then let a radical pro-nuke nation like ourselves tell you that too. We see no need to repeal the Nuclear Arms Protocol, as repealing it can be interpreted as nothing other than an attempt to legalise the offensive use of nuclear weapons against civilian populations. We will not be complicit in such an affront to civilised behaviours.

Kouassi wrote:yes and how a country uses its arsenal is not our right to control.

Parsons: How a country uses its arsenal is entirely in our right to control. Nuclear weapons, due to their destructive power, in the manner of using them, will mean nothing other than an offensive attack on another nation which directly means war. On the other hand, the proliferation of nuclear weapons ensures peace by deterrence. Repeal of this protocol can mean nothing but endorsement of nuclear war.

OOC: Let me disabuse you of that notion. They didn't. Nor was it a missile, it was a bomb.

OOC: Note that your argument in favour of this is terrible and needs serious work. Currently, it is actually incoherent, and I mean that in the nicest of terms. In debate, we had a mantra: an argument consists of three things — (1) the statement; (2) the warrant, that is, the reason why it is true; and (3) the impact. Things lacking a statement are by definition unknown. Things lacking a warrant should be held as untrue and are nothing better than 'because I say so'. Things lacking an impact are irrelevant. Provide all three and you have a case. Right now, you don't.

You do realize it is Ambassador Turner's delegation that authored the Nuclear Arms Protocol correct?

Unacceptable.

Using Nuclear Weapons on Civilian Targets is unhonorable and a wasteful act.

OOC: You will need to put better arguements than nukes should should not be controlled. You will also need to refrain from legislating in your repeal (Don't confirm anything). Read the rules before redrafting, a read of passed resolutions to get a handle on what should be in a repeal would be a good idea as well.

IC: "Hippy?" Clover said, in between bouts of laughter "Thats something and neither myself, nor the armed kingdom, has ever been accused of before. In any case, I see no reason to repeal this so that you may indiscriminately target civilians. Military targets are the priority of any competent military commander anyway."

"The C.D.S.P. has a military budget larger than your nation's GDP. What on earth makes you think we, for example, haven't enough warheads to overwhelm your minuscule arsenal? All you're doing here, ambassador, is highlighting your astonishing ignorance of international law and military strategy. Your rantings on nuclear weapons have had the opposite effect you intended, and I am now sure that you have no idea how strategic nuclear policy works at all."
