Safer Space Act
Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Mild
The World Assembly,
Acknowledging the need for space to be a safe territory open for exploration and free of mass destruction.
Acknowledging that many General Assembly resolutions about space have been passed and later repealed.
Hoping to pass an act that can survive the test of time and be a baseline for future space resolutions.
This act defines space as any area beyond a planet's atmosphere.
This act defines a space weapon of mass destruction as a weapon that is used from space to attack a planet's atmosphere, geography, hydrosphere, or a weapon whose main purpose is to attack a planet’s wildlife or local population.
Requirements:
I. This act requires that no space weapons of mass destruction be made or used.
II. No weapon used from space may attack a planet anywhere except for military objectives or active enemy military personnel.
III. This act sets up the Neutral Space Committee (NSC) to monitor violations and fine nations who violate clause (I) or (II) of the requirements.
This act urges:
I. nations to destroy any space weapons of mass destruction.
II. nations fund private or government space exploration.
III. Include people from other nations in space exploration missions.
This act does not impact:
I. This act does not impact weapons that are used in space to destroy other objects in space.
II. This act does not impact weapons that attack objects in space from the surface of a planet.
III. This act does not impact wars.
Hereby the General Assembly passes the Safer Space Act.
OOC: I changed the name as the act has been almost completely reworked and I believed needed to be renamed. The second draft has also been downgraded to a mild strength as it now just tries to keep planets safe from weapons in space. I think. these changes account for muti-planet or space nations and took most recommendations from the first draft.
