ACKNOWLEDGING that Biological Weapons are Weapon of Mass Destruction

KNOWING that most nations frown upon there use

WILL ALLOW the use of Biological Weapons in wars as a "Final Resort"

THESE WEAPONS will cause a factor called MAD (Mutaully Assured Destruction) if an attacking/defending nation threatens to use Biological Weapons.

FAILURE to follow the following rules may result in a trade embargo or a serious finacial payment determined by the other Nation.

IF A NATION IS TO USE A BIOLOGICAL WEAPON FOR OFFENCE:

1. The Nation must declare that they have and are ready to use Biological Missiles AND
Must declare what type of Biological Weapon that they are using
2. The Defending Nation Must Respond
3. Then Nation may activate the Bilogical weapon

IF A NATION IS USING A BIOLOGICAL WEAPON FOR DEFENCE/RETALIATION

1. The Nation does not have to declare the use, number of, or type of Biological Weapon

Please give me some feedback!

Honestly, these sound more like boardgame rules than an international accord on the use of biological weapons.

Our nation, which does not use biological weapons for any reason, but does understand that some do, finds that the section requiring that for offensive use a nation is required to inform their enemy where, when, how and with what they are attacking, and cannot legally attack until the enemy agree's? Did we read that correctly?

We totally disagree. The issue in our council was talked about for just seven minutes. Than the decision was clear

We don't accept this conditions. So the anwser is no.

Don't you have to repeal the bioweapons ban first?

One would need to repeal Biological Weapons Conference first. Otherwise, the proposal entered into record here is illegal.

It is not that you cannot attack unless that your oponet responds that the akcnowledge (not agree) that you are using a biological weapon

I did not realise that there was a proposal that banned Biological Weapons. Maybe I should try to repeal that then.

So prion, fungal and parasitic attacks are all good then?

"The honoured ambassador also forgot macroscopic biological weapons. The head of our nation's postal service still curls into a fetal position and screams about horrific red eyes and an 'orgy of blood and death' every time he sees a rabbit because of one such incident involving those," Velnayanis said.

I disagree, as you stated they are weapons of mass destruction, they should not be used at ANY time no matter what circumstances

I have to question, why, in your proposal, would you have a regulation that requires them to forewarn the nation that biological weaponry will be used, when the whole purpose of biological weaponry is the destruction of life? It would make much more sense(and, as luck proves such, there is a bill) to disallow the use of biological weaponry, which places a higher value, if you will, on the lives of those who would be affected, as compared to allowing them time to...well, know that they will potentially die. Quite frankly, your proposal sounds illogical, and if it came to vote, no would be my spiteful decision.
