Ban on Nuclear Weapon Strikes On Oceans
Category: Global Disarmament Strength: Significant
The General Assembly,
Recognizing the Nuclear Arms Possession Act declaring that World Assembly Nations have the right to possess nuclear weapons,
Further Recognizing the Ocean Noise Reduction which has already banned weapons of mass destruction testing in oceans,
Deeply Concerned by the environmental effects a Nuclear Strike on a ocean would cause,
Observing attempts to cause tsunamis by using nuclear weapons in the ocean,
Further Observing the World Assembly Science Program’s (WASP) involvement in preserving ocean marine life in the Sustainable Fishing Act,
Bearing in Mind that this resolution does not render nuclear weapons useless,
1. Defines the following words for the purpose of this resolution
a. A ocean as a very large expanse of water that completely surrounds a continent
b. A tsunami as a large high wave originating from a ocean that is expected to hit land
2. Prohibits the following reasons for using nuclear weapons in any ocean
a. For use of destroying enemy ships or any other aquatic weapon during wartime
b. For the intent of causing a possible tsunami to strike foreign countries
c. For use on islands unless otherwise authorized later in this resolution
d. For purpose to destroy marine wildlife
3. Authorizes nuclear strikes on landmasses where the yield in the nuclear weapon is not expected to cause a area of radioactive fallout that is larger than the area of the landmass itself or where the radioactive fallout is expected to seep into the ocean
4. Encourages World Assembly Nations to recover and removed any undetonated nuclear weapons that could have ended up in the ocean of any reason
5. Tasks the World Assembly Science Program (WASP) to
a. Study the effects of radioactive fallout and nuclear weapons on ocean life and oceans
b. Assist World Assembly Nations in restoring ocean life that has been affected by radioactive fallout or nuclear weapons
c. Collect information on the radioactivity of oceans in the jurisdiction of World Assembly Member Nations
6. Requires World Assembly Nations that cause or have caused a nuclear explosion in their oceans either by mistake or on purpose to
a. Formally apologize to the World Assembly and Its Member Nations
b. Perform radioactivity tests on the effect area and affected marine life to be reported to WASP
c. Formally request assistance from WASP to restore or attempt to restore the ocean or marine life damaged by nuclear explosion
