[PASSED] Repeal "Nuclear Security Convention"

[The Silver Sentinel]

Well, considering that this store is operated inside a nation which believes that this is the best way to operate their government and their arms industry, there exists no problem with it. Member nations have the ability to monitor and police their industries in the manner they wish, subject to WA legislation.

So it is the position of Imperium Anglorum that civilians should be permitted free access to thermonuclear weaponry? That is good to know for the future. It is also refreshing to know that your government is taking a stand that border forces shall not stop the transfer of those weapons between nations. I am quite sure that several nations will be chomping at the bit to drive an armed nuclear weapon into the center of Greyhall and detonating it.

Congratulations Ambassador, well played.

No, it was made for gameplayers to snipe at each other over raiding. [violet] made that painfully clear when she announced it.

OOC: I admit I know very little of that particular looneybin, which is why I'm happy to ignore its existence (except when it comes to voting against the repeal attempts to remove your condemned badge ) most of the time, so I'll take your word for that.

Congratulations on another useless repeal, passed by fear mongering and corruption so you can try and pass similar legislation. You certainly are a credit to politicians everywhere.

IC: I'm afraid I have to agree with him there; using non-WA nations as the boogeyman to strip away layers of protection against nuclear weapon creation and use does not do you credit. Nor does it do credit to any other nation doing or trying to use the same argument, mind you.

OOC EDIT: I know the above IC statement likely misses the target by a mile - it's just me being miffed at the "omg but non-WA nations will kill us all!" reasoning used in resolutions and repeals. Further edits because spelling is not my friend today.

Parsons: On the other hand, it is the position of the Democratic Empire that the extent of free access to thermonuclear weaponry should be determined by member nations for themselves. Our government takes the stand that border forces shall stop the transfer of those weapons between nations if those border forces are told to do so by their governments.

All they have to do is form a shell company and should Nuclear Materials Safeguards pass, your border forces are powerless to stop them.

Or not, because the first two clauses deal entirely with the procurement of nuclear weapons by the legitimate governments of member nations. The last clause deals with prohibitions on limiting that given compliance with the first two clauses. The third clause deals with the same element given a belief about the wrong hands.

"While the Imperium has its own objections to the Proposal of Imperium Anglorum, we do not see how, in any way, the provisions of Nuclear Materials Safeguards, can be construed as preventing Member States from ensuring that Civilians who have, somehow, acquired access to the Materials and Equipment necessary to construct a functional nuclear weapon, do not bring said weapon into a Member State."

I don't know what you're talking about. I've used nuclear weapons in 2/3 canon NS conflicts, and that was with NSC in place.
