IC Preface; I have always admired the intent but not all of the content of this particular piece of legislation and I think the time is right to strike it from the books. I accept many Ambassadors may want to see an adequate replacement for it and I will categorically state right now that I am NOT the right author to tackle such a monumental task, so I welcome anyone who wishes to. The draft will be here and ready regardless.
Repeal Chemical Weapons AccordCategory; RepealTarget Resolution; GA #272
Esteemed members of the World Assembly;
Acknowledging the undeniably important intent and objective of World Assembly resolution #272,
Recognizing the fact that this legislation has sat on the books of this august assembly since 2013 and has undeniably been of benefit to nations great and small,
Perplexed by the duality of a legislation that decries Chemical Weapons whilst " believing that small scale tactical defensive usage of these weapons is sometimes vital to the survival of smaller nations,",
Lamenting the flaws of this otherwise grand and decisive legislation, beginning first and foremost with the definitions of the act, which in an attempt to be as all encompassing as practicable, classify a chemical weapon as ""any substance that is used with the intention of causing death or severe harm to sapient beings, a habitable area or to the environment solely through the toxic chemical properties of such agent".
Highlighting that in order to subvert this legislation, one only has to design a Chemical Weapon that does not solely rely on the chemical properties of such agent to bring about the mass destruction of an environment or genocide of sapient beings.
Observing that clause 1 and 2 effectively negate each other in their actions or requirement of inaction as the case may be,
Noting that clause 3 is not only vague in its composition but potentially at direct odds with any future legislation owing to its presumptive granting of indefinite permission,
Frustrated by the needless micromanagement and possibly duplicitous content contained within Clause 6 when Clause 5 sufficiently addresses the issue of aggressive actors,
Shocked by the first mentioned function of the established WACWC which is obliged to share the chemical library of same to any nation that requests it whether a hostile agent or otherwise,
Hereby deems the Chemical Weapons Accord, Resolution #272, unfit for purpose and accordingly repeals same.
