[PASSED] Securing Nuclear Materials from Dastardly Menaces

Securing Nuclear Materials from Dastardly Menaces
Category: International Security | Strength: Mild



Affirming the right of member nations to possess nuclear weapons and to use them in the case that they are attacked by hostile forces,

Concerned that there does not yet exist any legislation to protect the manufacture of nuclear weapons from being banned by the World Assembly,

Observing that there are more than six times more non-WA nations than member nations and believing that such protections are necessary for the security of member nations,

This august World Assembly hereby:

  1. Maintains the right of member nations to manufacture and trade nuclear weapons or reactors, to possess the materials required in such manufacture, and to acquire the materials required in such manufacture;

  2. Maintains the right of member nations to have knowledge of the manufacture and trade of nuclear weapons or reactors, to possess such knowledge, and to acquire such knowledge;

  3. Mandates that member nations take all practical actions to safeguard the manufacture and knowledge spoken of in the first two clauses from the wrong hands, especially those which conspire against the stability of member nations; and

  4. Directs the Nuclear Energy Safety Commission (NESC) to ensure that nuclear materials and knowledge are secured from the wrong hands by providing funds and assistance to nations which are unable to defend their own nuclear knowledge and technology.

OOC: You of all people should know we don't have a drafting process on this forum! :P We have a process in which people object based on species/tech/god-wank, followed by spurious legality challenges. It is very rare that any drafting actually occurs. Also, the drafting process was completed. 6+ pages were already dedicated to 'drafting' this proposal already.

The time constraint in which to try and find constructive criticism is greatly reduced when submission is done without discussion.

Neville: (whispering) I've already done so, but it seems that the public can never vote for a decent ambassador, so we have to make do with Fairburn. It doesn't help that he has a high approval rating and that he isn't technically breaking the Code of Conduct he's been sworn to.

Does anyone else cringe when they read their old posts?

~J. Everett walks in during the scuffle, and pauses to let his fellow ambassadors pass him~ "Oh my," ~he states as the ambassador is defenestrated, and continues making his way to the podium~

The Amabassador, The Honorable J. Everett:
We have concerns regarding the expedited procedure used to bring this bill to a vote before substantive debate could be had. We hope that the ambassadors breach of protocol was not done intentially so as to stifle debate upon a sensitive international issue.
We are also worried in regards to the affirmation and quite possibly championing of the use of nuclear weapons by member states. We are concerned that this resolution may impede or block this assembly from providing proper guidance on insuring that member states do not inadvertently cause our collective demise. We are adamantly opposed to nuclear weapons and feel that this resolution doesn't adequately protect the rights of members to abstain from acquiring such destructive means. We are glad that the author has limited the scope of their language, however we find this too little too late. Especially given the expedience with which this was presented to vote.

An "Oof!" sound is heard as Ambassador Fairburn impacts the ground and hits another. George Williamsen, picks himself off the ground, and yells at the open window space: "Just for that, I'm voting AGAINST!"

He kicks the unconscious body of Fairburn and walks to the podium, under stunned silence. Williamsen says, "Actually, it's because there isn't anything about safety measures when keeping these weapons. It's lacking a few things. I will be forced to write a repeal if this passes."

EDIT: I understand that usually, they end up in the pool. Well, he landed on me, and on concrete. And that hurt.
