Cambrionia wrote:This is my first ever attempt at a WA proposal, so any feedback would be really cool!The World Assembly,
RECOGNIZING GA#10’s focus is to guarantee WA members the right to self defense,
NOTING that nuclear weapons are but one of many defenses against hostile nations, including those with nuclear weapons,
ACKNOWLEDGING that nuclear weapons can cause long-lasting after effects rendering an area uninhabitable or leaving affected peoples with diseases over a large area, and that in nearly all cases a nuclear strike’s damage is not limited to the target nation’s military,
BELIEVING that extremely high-yield nuclear weapons are completely unnecessary and if used are guaranteed to damage the environment and innocent civilians, and that the World Assembly may see the need to place restrictions on nuclear weapon possession because of this,
Hereby repeals General Assembly Resolution #10, “Nuclear Arms Possession Act”.

Simulations have shown that so-called “Rods From God” have the same explosive power as lower-yield nuclear weapons, without the radiation. As for how to protect from nuclear weapon strikes, anti-ballistic missiles should do the trick. If not, you could always try lasers. Also, the issue with nuclear weapons is that they have no regard for conditions on the ground. Lots of radiation. The bill is not meant to destabilize the defensive posture of member states, it is to try to reduce the usage of weapons that cause unnecessary damage where solutions already exist.

The WA could pass a ban on nuclear weapons and WA members could still choose the research nuclear weapons issue option and earn the nuclear weapons state policy banner.
OOC: They mean in terms of resolution legality, because WA resolutions that try to change game mechanics aren't allowed

It would also remove clause 3 "REQUIRES that any nation choosing to possess nuclear weapons take every available precaution to ensure that their weapons do not fall into the wrong hands." By passing this resolution it would not restrict nuclear weapon possession, and it would remove a prohibition towards supplying nuclear weapons towards those who should not have nuclear weapons.

Why are you digging up a thread that the OP hasn't worked on in three months? Although they said they might rework or create a different proposal, it doesn't necessary mean it's still ongoing.

Because I had previously commented on it, and I had found further issues with the draft.
