UN Vote on Repeal "UN Biological Weapons Ban"

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.

HispaniaNova:

¿How is it going to affect to my country description? If my country repeals it I don't know if it can be interpreted as encouraging to produce biological weapons.

I think that we should propose a new resolution in order to restrict voting resolutions involving security to those countries wich produce those weapons.
