NationStates

-ICBM Downsizing resolution


UNDERSTANDING that a complete ban on Nuclear arms is unrealistic in the modern world, and yet is taking steps to limit the power of Nuclear armed nations.

LIMITING the production and sale of Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) technology between Nations. Preparing for a gradual shrink in the number of ICBM's operational at any one time.

ENCOURAGES gradual progress towards Global Disarmament

The World Assembly,

-DEFINES ICBM's as long-range (greater than 5,500 km or 3,500 miles) ballistic missiles typically designed for nuclear weapons delivery, that is, delivering one or more nuclear warheads.

-RESTRICTS the proliferation of Nuclear arms by placing economic sanctions on countries who refuse to agree to downsize their ICBM capabilities.

-OFFERS economic incentives to those countries that agree to downsize existing arsenals.

-CREATES an international body, for the purpose of scrutinising nations involved in the program. As well as regulating unsanctioned sale of ICBM technology.


Im new, be nice

Go read resolution #10, Nuclear Arms Possession Act. You would need to repeal it before yours can go anywhere, as there is a conflict between your proposal and the existing resolution, which permits nations to have arms.

My thanks So it seems my next move is to try and get that repealed....

Good luck with that. You will find much opposition to a repeal of #10

^ Seconded. Messing with the delicate MAD balance that exists between non-WA, and WA members is not something most of us take kindly to.

Actually, nuclear arms reductions don't conflict with the NAPA as long as they don't reduce to zero. Having said that, this proposal is fairly toothless as it never says how many nukes a nation would have to get rid of to be in compliance.

In all honesty,It was within five minutes of finding out that Nationstates had forums =) I consider it a test run.I was unaware of the delicate balance between the WA members and the rest of the world.

At least you posted it here on the forum before submitting it, that alone puts you ahead of a lot of people.

To my eternal shame,I submitted it before discovering the forums.It was rejected however.

I have learned my lesson
