Ma'at Kheru: Nuclear Materials Safeguards

[Tomb]

Nuclear Materials Safeguards
Category: International Security
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Imperium Anglorum

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

Observing that there does not yet exist any legislation to protect the manufacture of nuclear weapons from being banned, and believing that such action is necessary,

This World Assembly hereby:

Mandates that the manufacture of nuclear weapons or reactors, possession of the materials for the manufacture, and ability to acquire said materials by the legitimate governments of member nations is not to be prohibited;

Mandates that the knowledge of the manufacture of nuclear weapons or reactors, the possession of such knowledge, and the ability to acquire said knowledge by the legitimate governments of member nations is not to be restricted except in extraordinary cases of clear and present danger;

Requires that member nations safeguard the manufacture and knowledge spoken of in the first two clauses from the wrong hands;

Directs the Nuclear Energy Safety Commission (NESC) to ensure that nuclear materials and knowledge are secured by providing funds and assistance to nations which are unable to defend their nuclear technology, for example, in the case of terrorist infiltration or state collapse;

Establishes the Universal Nuclear Library under the purview of the Universal Library Coalition to avoid basic accidents in nuclear design and increase safety by providing such knowledge to states pursuing nuclear technologies as well as knowledge necessary for the prompt cleaning of accidents; and

Prohibits undue regulations on facilities, companies, and universities on their activities regarding the first two clauses given that such knowledge is safeguarded per the third clause.

---

Voting Recommendation: For. The Ministry does not have strong feelings towards this resolution, to be quite honest. It is meant to be a replacement for the recently repealed Nuclear Materials Safeguards, and I personally, I do believe that it does a good job of protecting individual nations' right to nuclear weapons, while putting some regulations and standards in place to avoid nuclear disasters and problems.
