Nuclear Arms Accord

Category: Global Disarmament | Strength: Mild | Proposed by: Chester Pearson | Resolution link | World Assembly forum thread​
Description: Description: The World Assembly,

UNDERSTANDING that nuclear weapons are an integral part of some nations deterrence strategy,

ALSO REALIZING the potential threat posed to civilians caught in the blast effects of nuclear detonations,

DEEPLY ALARMED that international law permits civilians to be targeted by nuclear weapons,

CONFIRMING the right of member nations to possess and use nuclear weapons in warfare,

THUS RESOLVING to enact a sensible policy that mitigates the civilian casualties resulting from a nuclear exchange between hostile nations,

The General Assembly hereby:

For the purposes of this accord defines a nuclear weapon as a weapon fueled by nuclear reactions,

Demands member nations take all necessary precautions to ensure they do not intentionally target civilian populations with nuclear weapons unless:

A hostile nation places targets of critical strategic value within major civilian population centers or;

A hostile nation tries to intentionally shield key military assets with civilian populations.

Permits the usage of nuclear weapons in a reciprocal role should another hostile nation target their civilian populations in defiance of this accord,

Clarifies that nothing in this resolution shall be interpreted as affecting the right of member nations to utilize nuclear weapons against military targets as part of their defense strategy.

This goes to vote next minor.

Mixed feelings so far, so I'm not voting for now.

EDIT: Just to be clear, my mixed feelings are not because I disagree with the intent of this resolution, but because it does not go nearly far enough.
 
I am going to be voting Abstain.
While I like the content and the ideas of the resolution, I do believe that it could be further expanded upon.
