(Passed) WMD Regulation Act

New Tarajan wrote:There's a problem with your amendment as you proposed it.
I would correct it as: "All political entities, states, institutions and organizations are encouraged to register their WMD arsenal (if any) and shall reveal its existence..."

Otherwise, also the simple revelation of the existence of WMD arsenals would be only an encouragement, which is against the true sense of this bill, since its aim is to allow a better regulation and governance of WMDs through, obviously, knowledge, also.

The Council has already approved it with a majority of 5 votes on 7.
Thank you.

Authored by the Federal Aristocratic Kingdom of New Tarajan, in representation of the Empire of Tarajan and the Outer Territories

Section I.

Art. 1
The World Alliance, recognizing the highly-dangerous nature of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in every form, has decided to regulate the fabrication, possession and dismantlement of WMDs with this act.

Art. 2
To achieve this goal, as stated in Art. 1, is defined as Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD), any nuclear, radiological, biological, chemical or other weapon that can kill and bring significant harm to a large number of humans or cause great damage to man-made structures, natural structures (e.g. mountains), or the biosphere.

Section II.

Art. 3
All political entities, states, institutions and organizations must duly register their WMD arsenal (if any), or reveal its existence, or their intention to begin the fabrication of WMDs, to the World Alliance, with full respect of the existing legislation on the matter.

Art. 4
All political entities, states, institutions and organizations have the duty to keep or to dismantle their WMD arsenal following the highest standards of safety and traceability.

Section III.

Art. 5
The Court of Justice of the World Alliance (CoJ) is empowered with the authority to carry out any investigation it could believe to be necessary, about the fabrication, testing process, possession, use and dismantlement of WMDs.
In this case, the CoJ shall notify to the interested parties and to the Council the beginning of the investigation, specifying its nature and scope, according to the existing legislation. While under investigation, all related activities shall be stopped until the end of the investigation itself.
It is the duty of the CoJ to conclude the investigation in the less time possible.
In case the CoJ should identify a violation of existing legislation, it is empowered with the authority to immediately stop all related activities.
All interested parties could call for appeal against the verdict of the CoJ. This case shall be regulated under the existing rules for trials of the CoJ.

Art. 6
The World Alliance Department of Security & Justice (WASDJ) shall be empowered with the authority to execute the verdict of the CoJ, under authorization of the World Alliance Council.
In case the WASDJ is not able to carry out this mandate, the World Alliance Council shall empower the World Alliance Armed Forces (WAAF) with the same mandate.

You have to tell us if you have them, but not how many.

Practically, you will choose what to reveal, with the starting point being: "I have/I have not a WMD arsenal."
If you wish, you can register everything....if you don't, you can simply tell us about the existence of a WMD arsenal of your country.
And I guess we will make an apposite thread for this.

Obviously, New Tarajan votes IN FAVOUR.
