This proposal will come to vote in about four hours.

In-game debate thread: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=327623

Repeal "Nuclear Arms Possession Act"
Proposed by Chester pearson
The World Assembly,

ACKNOWLEDGING that member nations have the right to defend themselves from external threats,

NOTING that numerous member nations possess, and use nuclear weapons in warfare,

REALIZING that member nations are also reluctant to surrender their ability to possess nuclear weapons,

However,

RECALLING the passage of General Assembly resolution #292 which clearly states in clause 4 that "nothing in this resolution shall be interpreted as affecting the right of member nations to research or use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, nor denying members nations the right to possess or produce nuclear armaments via their own technological and manufacturing capacities.'

ALSO RECALLING General Assembly resolution #308 which states in clause three "Permits the usage of nuclear weapons in a reciprocal role should another hostile nation deliberately target civilian populations in defiance of this accord," effectively rendering clause two moot,

NOTING that clause three states "REQUIRES that any nation choosing to possess nuclear weapons take every available precaution to ensure that their weapons do not fall into the wrong hands.", yet fails to clearly define who those "wrong hands may be",

RECOGNIZING clause two of General Assembly resolution #292 effectively closes the loophole in General Assembly resolution #10 clause #1 by stating "Requires member nations take all necessary precautions to ensure their nuclear materials, technology and information that have the potential for weaponization are fully secured against unauthorized release," effectively making clause #1 of General Assembly resolution #10 moot as well,

CONFIDENT that since the passage of General Assembly resolutions #292, and #308, the subject of nuclear disarmament is effectively blocked, and therefore dead,

BELIEVING that the fatal flaw to clearly define "wrong hands" necessitates it repeal,

HEREBY repeals General Assembly resolution #10 "Nuclear Arms Possession Act".

I have no real attachment to NAPA and wouldn't mind it being repealed. Against this repeal, though.

Sorry to see that this isn't passing. I was excited when I saw Osiris would be voting for.

You actually thought a NAPA repeal had a chance of passing? How long have you been playing this game? :P

Against. The argument is complete bullshit. CP's precious resolutions do not "effectively block" the question of nuclear disarmament the way he claims they do, and it's quite clear now that he only got them passed so that he could eventually pull this lame stunt on everyone. Glad to see it's not working.

And if I hear the words "wrong hands" again, I will fucking scream.

That was not the main reason I passed them, it just happened that this argument became valid after both of them were in effect. This is not over, it is only beginning. The great thing is, you cannot block a repeal, unless the thing is actually repealed.

Expect another attempt soon enough.....

You should try repealing after you've actually closed off the question of disarmament. You haven't even come close to that yet.

So please tell me how the hell you are supposedly able to retalliate with a particular weapon, if you are not permitted to possess it?

We'll see what the mods think, if NAPA is ever repealed, and someone proposes a law to outlaw nuclear weapons.

Imperializt Russia seems to think he has the answer: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=23647286#p23647286

Oh... It will be. It just depends on how much schmoozing I want to do, and how much money I want to spend.
