OOC: Welcome to the World Assembly! Unfortunately your proposal idea is illegal for contradicting GA Resolution #10, the Nuclear Arms Possession Act. This resolution guarantees WA nations the right to own nuclear weapons, and would need to be repealed before any prohibition could be enacted.

I'd encourage you to stick around for a while and see how this place works - participate in drafting threads, page through the Passed Resolutions index (see "Extant Resolutions" in my signature below), and the like. Then, once you're a bit better versed in what areas of law are open for legislation, you can try again with your next idea.

Again, welcome to the World Assembly!

This Would Require the repeal of GA Resolution #10.

OOC: Repeals cannot include new legislation. First, Repeal, Second, Legislate a replacement.

IC: "We are aggressively opposed to any attempt to reduce our nuclear stockpile, or to repeal GAR#10. If you want our nuclear weapons so bad, you can have them...warhead first."

OOC: We need a draft proposal. Also we'll be opposed.

OOC
Although NAPA (GAR #10) guarantees member nations' the right to own nuclear weapons, past rulings -- including, if I remember correctly, at least one by NAPA's actual author during their time as a Mod -- say that that just guarantees each member nationn the right to own at least two nuclear weapons (because two is the minimum number to qualify as "weapons", rather than as "weapon") of some kind rather than the right to own as many examples as they want of whatever types they want. Proposals to limit stockpiles, like this one, would therefore not be illegal for contradiction of NAPA. Still impossible to pass, probably, but not illegal.

    the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed
But the government can totally prohibit you from owning more than two arms. Novel.

To be fair, you only ever need two arms. Heck, people have gotten by with just one arm or even no arms.

You won't get my nukes unless you pry them out of my cold, dead hands. And I still won't give 'em to you.

Then we will just grab your nukes from your dead cold hands and you couldn't do anything about it because you would be dead.

It was proposal but its intent was to show the World Assembly the risk nuclear weapons have on maintaining World Peace.

I decided to write an example of how you could go about striking down Resolution #10. This is a rough draft but just an example (and may not be a great one because I’ve never written a proposal). Not that my nation would vote in favor of it because nations should have the right to nuclear weapons and Resolution #10 does an excellent job in protecting that right.

Repeal “Nuclear Arms Possession Act”
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #10
Proposed by: Xmara

Description:
Understanding that WA member states are vastly outnumbered by non-member states,

Acknowledging that non-member states are not required to abide by WA proposals,

Recognizing that nuclear weapons are not required to defend a nation from outside forces,

Horrified that even WA member states may use nuclear weapons for reasons other than testing and defense,

Arguing that there are far more peaceful and diplomatic approaches to dealing with foreign invaders,

The World Assembly hereby repeals “Nuclear Arms Possession Act.”

[proposal=][/proposal]Repeal “Nuclear Arms Possession Act”
A proposal to repeal a previously passed WA resolution #10

Category: Repeal
Resolution: #10
Proposed by: Federation of United North American Commonwealths

Description:
Understanding that WA members are allowed to possess nuclear weapons to defend themselves from hostile nations and realizing that the WA members need to be able to defend themselves if attacked.

Also acknowledging that non-member states are not required to abide by WA proposals,

Recognizing that nuclear weapons are not required to defend a nation from outside forces,

Horrified that even WA member states may use nuclear weapons for reasons other than testing and defense,

Arguing that there are far more peaceful and diplomatic approaches to dealing with foreign invaders,

But also acknowledging that this resolution allows WA States build excessive arsenals of nuclear weapons that are more than needed to defend their own Individual nations and only promotes more militarization that leads to bigger deadlier conflicts that further destabilizes The World Assembly's goal of Peace and Partnership.

The World Assembly hereby repeals “Nuclear Arms Possession Act.”
