It depends on how you're looking at it. As I see it, it doesn't exactly contradict NTS [period in which I thought of an earlier version of NTS which did not get submitted]. I don't really know if it's illegal because of NTS specifically.

Anyways, I'm hoping this would get deleted for being "Bloody Stupid".

The Ryouese Empire declares that the idea of banning Nuclear Testing is stupid and illegal. If this goes to vote The Empire will vote against it and we will make sure that Powerfulbritannia knows that we are not a nation to bow down to stupidity.

Already one absurd statement. How does having well tested and well developed weapons endanger a nations security exactly? Also, how can you demonstrate that all nuclear weapons testing is harmful to health? If I tested a nuke on an desolate asteroid several parsecs from any civilisation, how does that harm anyone's health?

FEARING that if nuclear weapons testing continues as a common occurance most of the world's population may become sick or possibly die,
Can you run it though a spell check please? Also, again, big gap in logic by suggesting all nuclear tests cause health problems.
DEMANDING that action be taken by the World Assembly to prevent nuclear weapons testing and provide health services to those affected by the harsh effects of nuclear weapons testing,
M'kay.

This act hereby declares,
i. All World Assembly nations must cease their use of nuclear weapons for testing. Corporations who operate in these nations must also cease testing.
And allow all non-member states to feel safe in the knowledge that they can drop nukes on member states without fear of effective reprisal. Yeah Good thinking!
ii. A Nuclear Safety and Health Advisory Council shall be established to aid nations in building health facilities for those affected by nuclear testing. This Council shall also work with individual nations to ensure the safety of methods being used in those facilities and to ensure that resources are not wasted in treating patients.
Meh. Seems a bit like micromanagement, but whatever
iii. The Nuclear Safety and Health Advisory Council will also give aid and income support to workers displaced by this act.
Yup, definitely seems like micromanagement.
iv. This act doesn't prohibit nations from posessing nuclear weapons.
Oh that's nice of you. Shame we won't know if they actually work. Also spell check.

In summary, my government chooses to express our opposition to this proposal.

Given NTS says we can test nukes (under certain conditions), and this piece of tripe says we can't, that's a pretty obvious conflict right there.

Isn't it curious how people will claim they are against tribalism, then pigeonhole themselves into tribes?

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Is this your round-about way of saying this this proposal does in fact come in conflict with NTS?

Unofficially, my interpretation is that if there is a resolution governing a certain action, in this case, regulating nuclear testing, that it's indirect approval from the WA to carry out the action provided that its done in accordance to the stipulations of the legislation.

Would it be possible to have an official ruling in regards to this resolution, in light of the existence of the NTS? Needn't be from you, just something official to steer us on this matter.
