4 minutes ago: Bears Armed: Illegal — Contradiction of existing legislation (GA Resolution #267 'Sensible Limits ion Hunting' only URGES member nations to ban "unnecessarily cruel" methods, so they could choose to allow weapons that you're classing as 'inhumane' here).
Considering how the attributes described in the proposal basically only fit sapient beings, I don't see how GA #267 gets triggered.
Although that proposal
defines the weapons in terms of their effects on one category of potential victims (which, incidentally, I as a Zoology graduate would interpret as including a range of sentient-but-not-actually-sapient species as well truly sapient ones), instead of just banning the use of those weapons against that type of victims it then bans them
totally within member nations... even in any cases where those member nations, using their rights (guaranteed under 'Sensible Limits on Hunting') to regulate the hunting of non-endangered animals within their jurisdiction, have issued regulations saying that such weapons are allowed for
that purpose.
