Vote Against GA resolution Nuclear Arms Protocol
Ministry Review
Written by

Regulation of nuclear weapons and their use against civilians is inherently an interregional issue, as well as a very important one. Therefore the subject of this proposal is within the scope appropriate for the World Assembly. However, the proposal itself comes rather short of appropriately addressing the subject and seems to be ineffective.
The proposal needs to be evaluated in the context of the recent repeal of GAR#102 "International Criminal Court". Following that repeal, there is currently a complete lack of accountability for war criminals and crimes against humanity. The current proposal fails to adequately fill that gap, and given that it provides no mechanism to punish violators, appears to be completely ineffectual. This area of legislation could be handled much more effectively by avoiding the weapons of mass destruction aspect and focusing on indiscriminate violence towards civilians on the whole. As passing this proposal would block any such more carefully drafted future legislation from reaching the floor, we recommend a vote against this resolution.
