Hope no-one minds me taking the liberty, I didn't see a topic.
 
Basically says "Have nuclear weapons, if you want," for most of it; rendering it at first glance pointless (how would it make any different from before?); but is saved by article 3. In fact the proposal could just be article 3 for what it's worth; as that's the only bit that actually changes anything.

FOR.
 
The resolution is meaningless and restricts national and regional sovereignty by essentially handing a monopoly on nuclear weapons to the WA and giving them the authority to be thugs over non-WA nations.

AGAINST!
 
Pointless. Furthermore, I don't understand how possessing nuclear weapons of our own would protect us from a nuclear attack. I suppose it gives us leverage, but doesn't that run against the message of the WA? That we are an organisation of peaceful nations? Or something?

AGAINST
