[GA - Failed] Limitation Of Inhumane Weaponry

Limitation Of Inhumane Weaponry
Category: Global Disarmament | Strength: Mild
Proposed by: The COT Corporation | Onsite Topic​

The World Assembly,

LAUDING the current ban on biological weapons, established by this body,

INSPIRED by the resounding support given to similar proposals,

OBSERVING that inhumane weaponry still holds a place in the world,

BELIEVING that weaponry solely designed to maim or cause permanent disability should be regulated,

HEREBY;

1. Defines "maiming" to be the infliction of a permanent major injury or disability, such as loss of a limb or loss of function in sensory organs such as the eyes;

2. Defines "inhumane weaponry" as any weaponry solely designed to maim sapient targets, rather than kill them;

3. Clarifies that the incidental ability to cause such an injury is not by itself sufficient to render a weapon inhumane;

4. Prohibits the use of inhumane weaponry in all situations where lethal force would also be prohibited;

5. Mandates that member nations cease development of, trade in, and funding of inhumane weaponry.
