[Passed!!] Responsibility in Transferring Arms

[Sciongrad]

"Sciongrad would like to thank all of those friends and allies that voted for this resolution. After almost four years of work, setbacks, and obstacles, we've finally managed to implement meaningful arms regulations, making the world just a little bit safer!"

[Jarish Inyo]

And soon the repeal cycle will begin on this again.

The Empire will continue to business as it has always done. All current contacts will be honored as written.

[Vulcan Confederacy]

The Vulcan confederacy will also ignore this resolution, as other resolutions are being struck down as lacking constitutional authority, as is the right of the expungement body. Our military is replacing soldiers with giant, nuclear powered robots. Our economy is strong and our tech sector unhindered by wanton and wreck less government waste and regulation.

If this resolution passes, we shall be forced to consider withdrawing from the WA.

"World Assembly law overrides national constitutions. Your constitution means nothing in the face of the international resolutions you are violating."

No one has changed the constitution of the confederacy. It remains in force, as written. It is the law of the land, not a dictatorship of a supranational panel or the wishes of the majority. We have the rule of law in this nation. It is founded from the bottom up and serves everyone in its consistency.

If the World Assembly law has Supremacy then its administrattors or any of the constituent member states may come and enforce them. Giant, nuclear powered death robots and drones are ready to greet thee.

[Imperium Anglorum]

2 GA: "Article 9 § Every WA Member State has the duty to carry out in good faith its obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law, including this World Assembly, and it may not invoke provisions in its constitution or its laws as an excuse for failure to perform this duty."

[Bananaistan]

OOC: Congrats, Scion!

IC: "Mrs Comrade General Secretary has issued a statement on behalf of the Communism, It's a Party! party and the Bananamen people commending the government and people of the Monarchical Republic of Sciongrad and their representatives at the World Assembly and congratulating them on the passage of a fine addition to international law. I am pleased to convey these sentiments to your delegation, Ambassador Santos."

- Ted

[Lord Dominator]

"Congratulations Ambassador, this passage was well deserved."

[Araraukar]

So, the next round of drinks is on Natalia's tab, right?

[The Republic of MrHands]

Why do you try to take people's rights away, what if another nation wants to do this, regulation makes more people angry and upset. How about letting each individual nation regulate things the way they want to. This is a travesty and should be repealed!

[Thyerata]

"In addition to the words of our fellow ambassadors, we remind you that you are bound by GAR #122, and given your response, also recommend that you consider hiring more than just one sapient, literate employee."

The Vulcan confederacy will also ignore this resolution, as other resolutions are being struck down as lacking constitutional authority, as is the right of the expungement body. Our military is replacing soldiers with giant, nuclear powered robots. Our economy is strong and our tech sector unhindered by wanton and wreck less government waste and regulation.

If this resolution passes, we shall be forced to consider withdrawing from the WA.

But ambassador, since your nation is a member of the WA, one would assume that your constitution Envisages membership, and the WA's resultant ability to develop international law on behalf of its members. Why, therefore, is this resolution unconstitutional?

[Thyerata]

"If those nations do not pose a persistent existential threat to your nation, yes, it is conquest."

So this is a pro-slavery treaty, because every single nation locked in war for the sake of their fellow man, would be put under an arms embargo.

This would include the most powerful and respectable arms dealers, if they were part of the WA.

Due to this, I urge all anti-slavery arms dealers or nations, to pull out of the WA and leave it to it's slavery protecting schemes.

I can't remember the resolution, but slavery is already banned ambassador. Additionally, it's generally the case that any law that predates a nation's joining would automatically become applicable

"The World Assembly has no authority to prohibit slavery in non-member nations, Ambassador. But a member nation engaging in war with such a non-member slave-holding nation would be under a WA arms embargo."

"Ambassadors, I do believe there is another discussion for this bickering," says an exacerbated Lara Qzu having to attend two separate briefings for the same discussion. "The honourable Ambassador Blackbourne has already aired his complaints under the proposed repeal. To keep bringing up discussion of this old case is a waste of my staff's time, and future criticism really should for brevity's sake take place in the discussions of the repeal."
