GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION AT VOTE
Nuclear Arms Protocol
A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.
Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Chester Pearson
Description: The World Assembly,
UNDERSTANDING that nuclear weapons are an integral part of some nations deterrence strategy,
ALSO REALIZING the potential threat posed to civilians caught in the blast effects of nuclear detonations,
DEEPLY ALARMED that international law permits civilians to be targeted by nuclear weapons,
CONFIRMING the right of member nations to possess and use nuclear weapons in warfare,
THUS RESOLVING to enact a sensible policy that mitigates the civilian casualties resulting from a nuclear exchange between hostile nations,
The General Assembly hereby:
For the purposes of this protocol defines a nuclear weapon as an explosive weapon which derives it power solely from nuclear reactions,
Demands member nations take all necessary precautions to ensure they do not deliberately target civilian populations with nuclear weapons unless a hostile nation deliberately shields key strategic military assets within civilian populations,
Permits the usage of nuclear weapons in a reciprocal role should another hostile nation deliberately target civilian populations in defiance of this accord,
Clarifies that nothing in this resolution shall be interpreted as affecting the right of member nations to utilize nuclear weapons against military targets as part of their defense strategy.
I am of two minds about this one, While I am normally against anything that attempts to limit nuclear weapons I can also see that this particular resolution wouldn't be that much of an imposition on a nation.
Tentative support
