GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL
ID: jean_pierre_trudeau_1425151124
Repeal "Nuclear Testing Safety"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#119
Proposed by: Jean Pierre Trudeau
Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #119: Nuclear Testing Safety (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: The World Assembly,
Applauding the efforts of General Assembly Resolution #119 to protect the environment from harmful radioactive byproducts associated with nuclear testing,
Concerned clause #1 defines nuclear testing as " usage of a nuclear weapon for research purposes, that is not targeted to destroy or affect a civilian, military, or prisoner populace", thus allowing nations to circumvent this by testing nuclear weapons connected to an actual delivery system,
Confused that clause 2 states "BANS nuclear testing within the area between the edge of a populated celestial body's atmosphere and twice the distance of geosychronous orbit - measured at the equator of said celestial body", while failing to take into account the magnetosphere of a celestial body, which can trap highly dangerous high energy particles, creating dangerous radiation belts,
Disappointed in the lack of clear language and typos that make this resolution a travesty to international law,
Hoping the World Assembly passes clear and concise guidelines that actually prevent unaffiliated persons from being affected by nuclear testing in the future,
Hereby repeals "GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION # 119 Nuclear Testing Safety".
I fully support this repeal. I was opposed to the initial resolution.
