Current draft/draft 18:
Limitation of Inhumane Weaponry
Global Disarmament | Mild
The World Assembly,
LAUDING the current ban on biological weapons, established by this body,
INSPIRED by the resounding support for the Landmine Safety Protocol,
OBSERVING that other inhumane weaponry still holds a place in the world,
BELIEVING that weaponry solely designed to maim or cause permanent disability should be regulated,
HEREBY;
1. Defines "maiming" to be the infliction of a permanent major injury or disability, such as loss of a limb or loss of function in sensory organs such as the eyes;
2. Defines "inhumane weaponry" as any weaponry solely designed to maim sapient targets, rather than kill them;
3. Clarifies that the incidental ability to cause such an injury is not by itself sufficient to render a weapon inhumane;
4. Prohibits the use of inhumane weaponry in all situations where lethal force would also be prohibited;
5. Mandates that member nations cease development of, trade in, and funding of inhumane weaponry.

The World Assembly,
LAUDING the current ban on biological weapons, as voted for by this chamber,
OBSERVING that although the legislation has banned such weaponry, other inhumane weapons with lasting effects still hold place in this world,
BELIEVING that any weaponry with lasting - potentially life changing - effects should be banned, and that measures shall be taken to ensure they are,
RESOLVING BY;
1. Defining "Weaponry with lasting effects" as any military or non military weapon that could create an impressionable effect on a person for over 12 months, and would be a hinderance in daily and military life, or cause severe health problems;
2. These weapons include, but are not limited to:
(a) Military Blinding Lasers,
(b) Poisoned or infected bullets,
(c) Incendiary Weapons,
3. Prohibiting the use of such weapons with intent to injure, incapacitate, or destroy civil and military personnel, or the environment,
4. Mandates Member nations to take necessary measures to prevent the production, sale, or research of weapons with lasting effects, whatever the economic or social consequences,
5. Encourages Member nations to withdraw from any arms or trade deals that involve the sale, production, or research of weapons with lasting effects, and to encourage other nations, whether they are in the World Assembly or not, to do the same
6. Tasking the WHA (World Health Authority) with creating reforms in nations where people have suffered the lasting effects of the aforementioned weaponry, by utilising any resource the WHA could provide, and to take precautions that they shall not suffer again,
