My dearest apologies for the lack of post on this matter. For the last two evenings I have been doing fund raisers for various RL school groups I'm involved with.
Commencing the discussion and vote on the following UN Vote up right now, I would like to present "Repeal UN Biological Weapons Ban".
I will be casting the region's ballot Friday evening PST.

Repeal "UN Biological Weapons Ban"
A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution
Category: Repeal
Resolution: #113
Proposed by: Karmicaria
Description: UN Resolution #113: UN Biological Weapons Ban (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: The United Nations;
RECONGNIZING the intent of UNR#113 "UN Biological Weapons Ban";
NOTING that UNR #113 includes such things as the common cold and flu, but does not include non-contagious infectious agents such as anthrax, which enables nations to exploit this oversight and develop biological weapons using such non-contagious infectious agents;
CONCERNED that giving control of all biological research facilities to the military within member nations is excessive and would come at a great cost to the nations civil liberties and economies;
DISTURBED that the resolution severely hinders legitimate research of countermeasures to biological attack;
BELIEVING that the united nations can find better ways to convince non-member nations to refrain from using biological weapons through more diplomatic means than by severing and refusing alliances with them;
HEREBY repeals UN Resolution #113 "UN Biological Weapons Ban", in order to make room for more comprehensive legislation.
I will be casting the region's ballot Friday evening PST.
