Resolution
 
The World Assembly,

Confirming the rights of member nations to produce and possess nuclear weapons for offensive and defense purposes,

Concerned that nuclear weapons which are not properly tested have a probability of not functioning as intended, possibly producing far higher yields than predicted,

Also realizing the need for safe and secure testing of nuclear weapons, which seeks to mitigate the damage to the environment and non-participating actors,

Thus resolving to enact a sensible policy that allows for the safe testing of nuclear armaments whilst protecting the environment and its inhabitants,

The General Assembly hereby,
  1. Requires members to refrain from testing nuclear weapons in open atmospheres if it could lead to the excessive harmful contamination of the environment, inhabited or agricultural land,

  2. Demands member nations refrain from testing nuclear weapons in a manner which could directly cause harm to civilians or government personnel,

  3. Directs member nations to halt testing nuclear weapons at altitudes which could produce a damaging electromagnetic pulse to non-involved civilian or government facilities, vehicles, and equipment,

  4. Urges member nations to cease high altitude nuclear weapon testing if it has a high probability of creating artificial radiation belts around a planetary body,

  5. Further urges member nations halt testing nuclear weapons in a manner which could lead to harmful damage to civilians, government personnel, or their structures via artificial seismic activity,

  6. Further directs member nations take all necessary security precautions to prevent unauthorized access to nuclear testing sites, materials or confidential data surrounding nuclear tests,

  7. Further demands that member nations classify all information and materials related to nuclear testing as state secrets and prevent this information or material with anyone not authorized to have access to this information,

  8. Empowers the World Health Authority to demand presence at any test with a reasonable probability of producing a nuclear yield to monitor the effects of such test solely in regards to the health of general populace which may be affected.


What are your thoughts on this resolution?

History has shown us that nuclear weapons have brought the catastrophe. Do you want to see what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? They are weapons of mass destruction, they can only bring death and pain.

I agree with this proposal

Uranium mining and arms makes up a significant part of my nation's economy and thia would severely curtail those thimgs. I mean, it doesn't ban nukes, so I guess it wouldn't be too bad, but I want to be able to test nukes however I want.

First clause is a little vague: how 'excessive' is excessive? They should have specified fallout amounts and areas covered, and/or ban low-altitude airbursts, surface bursts, and shallow subsurface bursts over land or water unless the weapon has a yield below a specified level.

I think it's a terrible proposal, but the wide majority of the region decided to vote for so I have done so in turn.

Just want to complain again since they just implemented laws in my nation to become compliant with this. Anger and disappointment. That is all.
