Yes, I'm aware that nations may choose not to have them, and it is based on the infringement of National Sovereignty, among other things, that I made this into a [JOKE] proposal, even though it is in no way funny. Also, UFoC, borrowed some things from ye
Speaking of past reasoning, I'll put this post in case anyone read what I said before and wants to use it against me. I remember it perfectly well, and have calmed down considerably to actually assess my own argument.
Screw that reasoning, I'm not taking heat when I should if I really want to learn. Well, improvements are welcome. Even if this was* against my principles, this was the first idea to actually become coherent. Also, given that people don't generally read the whole thread, I'd like to thank Abacathea as well for his awesome idea of extending powers of multiple WA committees to regulate stuff.
Also, I'm a rules-lawyer, not a legislator, but I'd like to improve in that area, so here goes one attempt at being wrong to understand what it is I'm doing wrong, even though I partook in debates of drafts, there are many things that I tend to miss.
*It was about making people give away their weapons at first, but now it's about restricting it.

On Nuclear Over-proliferation

The World Assembly,
Believing that it is every member nation's right to arm themselves with nuclear weapons adequately so as to defend themselves against threats by those who chose to possess nuclear weapons,
Recognizes that some nations choose to possess nuclear weapons, and further recognizes that some nations choose not to possess nuclear weapons, or have yet to develop them,
Appalled that there are nations that will not be able to adequately defend themselves should a nuclear threat present itself,
Convinced that the threat of mutually assured destruction would deter all but the most irrational of nations,
For the purposes of this resolution defines:
A nuclear weapon as a weapon whose destructive power comes from energy produced exclusively by nuclear reactions,
Proliferation as the spread of nuclear weapons, fissile material, and weapons-applicable nuclear technology and information,
Mandates that:
1. Every single member nation have nuclear weapons.
2. Should member nations be unable to procure them, they are to be forcefully given these weapons by those who have a surplus.
3. Should member nations not have the technology, they are to be assisted by willing member nations in developing them.
For cases in which member nations be unable to procure the nuclear weapons themselves or have yet to have the technology to do so:
1. Empowers the General Accounting Office (GAO) to conduct any and all essential financial checks on a nation before deciding on the ability of a member nation in procuring nuclear weapons.
2. Extends the powers of the Nuclear Testing Oversight Agency (NTOA) so as to encompass the auditing of member nation whose technology have yet to be able to develop nuclear weapons in order to make sure that they truly require help in developing their nuclear weapons.
