Protection Of Nuclear Armaments
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security | Strength: Mild | Proposed by: Nilla Wayfarers Affirming the right for member nations to possess nuclear armaments;

Understanding that some nations may intend to promote violence with such armaments;

Acknowledging the interest of some nations in peacefully exchanging nuclear armaments;

this august Assembly hereby,

Requires that member nations with nuclear armaments take every precaution within the restriction of existing legislation to protect these armaments from entities outside of their respective militaries or those of nations with whom they engage in the peaceful exchange of nuclear armaments;

Further requires that no member nation engage in the distribution of nuclear armaments with any nation known to incite conflict on a large scale or use its military assets ambiguously.

Summary: Requires member states to protect nuclear armaments against theft. Prohibits member states from trading nuclear armaments with states who are "known to incite conflict on a large scale" or who "use [their] military assets ambiguously".

Recommendation: AGAINST. It's not clear what real value this resolution adds over NAPA, which already requires member states to prevent nuclear weapons from falling into the "wrong hands". While NAPA is terribly vague, so is this resolution -- I have no idea what is meant by "incit[ing] conflict on a large scale" or "us[ing] military assets ambiguously".

If the World Assembly wants to pass a good nuclear non-proliferation resolution, I'll support it -- but this isn't it.

Nay

Against.
