A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.


Category: Global Disarmament


Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Chester Pearson

Description: The World Assembly,

RECOGNIZING that nuclear weapons are used in warfare,

ACKNOWLEDGING that nuclear weapons play a pivotal role in many nations deterrence policy,

CONCERNED that many nations maintain an over abundant strategic nuclear arsenal, which if utilized to their full extent in a military conflict would cause massive wide scale damage to nations not participating in said conflict ,

ALARMED that the use of nuclear weapons causes horrific damage to the surrounding environment, and massive unneeded civilian casualties, particularly when strategic nuclear weapons are utilized against population centres,

FOR THE PURPOSES of this resolution defines nuclear weapons into the following categories:

Strategic nuclear weapon as a nuclear weapon which is designed to be used on targets as part of a strategic plan, such as nuclear missile bases, military command centers and heavily populated civilian areas such as large towns and cities, delivered by either gravity bomb, or long range missile system,

Tactical nuclear weapon as a nuclear weapon which is designed to be used on a battlefield in military situations, delivered by gravity bomb, landmine, bomb, or short range rocket/missile system,

The General Assembly:

Declares that member nations shall reduce their strategic nuclear arsenals to a minimum required to assure plausible and credible nuclear deterrence from hostile nations,

Defines credible minimal nuclear deterrence as a nation possessing no more strategic nuclear weapons than is necessary to deter an adversary from attacking, without facing an unacceptable level of damage in return,

Upholds member nations rights to possess tactical nuclear arsenals of a strength required to effectively pursue military campaigns which require the use of nuclear weapons to prosecute their military objectives,

Requires member nations to submit to inspection of their nuclear weapons to ensure they are in full compliance with this act.
