Repeal: “Chemical Weapons Accord”
Category: Repeal | GA #272
Proposed by: Ostrovskiy | Onsite Topic

General Assembly Resolution #272 “Chemical Weapons Accord” (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Admiring the noble goals of GAR#272 "Chemical Weapons Accord", a resolution which seeks to limit the damage that chemical weapons can do while not entirely prohibiting their use in the self-defense of nations,

Convinced, however, that firmly embedded within the resolution are critical flaws which leave the entire multiverse vulnerable to improper uses of chemical weapons that would undoubtedly cause billions to suffer,

Confounded by GAR#272’s choice to define chemical weapons as only those which cause harm to sapient beings or the environment “solely through the toxic chemical properties of such agent(s)”, which implies that weapons which cause damage partly via toxic chemical properties, such as a bomb which is also made out of a toxic material, are not covered by the resolution,

Frustrated that the resolution makes no effort to reduce damage to the environment that might be caused by chemical weapons, despite explicitly permitting defensive use of chemical weapons to "injure or destroy…the environment" in Section 1,

Horrified at the first mission statement of the WACWC, which requires the WACWC to share a list of chemical weapons with any nation that requests it, regardless of whether that nation is a malicious actor, and regardless of whether said nation is even in the World Assembly at all,

Certain that the resolution does not do enough to protect civilians from the harm of chemical weapons, while having gaping holes in the protection it does give, and must therefore be struck from the annals of the World Assembly,

Hereby repeals General Assembly Resolution #272 “Chemical Weapons Accord”.

This has failed quorum (surprisingly). Was there some sort of counter-campaign?
