Weapons of mass destruction should not be illegalized! They're the for an offensive attack for weaker nations in NS. I have made a proclamation on this subject. As of now it is on page 25 and is entitled "Lift all weapon bans".

Description: All the bans on weapons of mass destruction need to be lifted! Weapons of mass destruction make nations stronger. They help weak natoins in times of need and can eradicate rogue nations who like to terrorize the nations that are trying to prosper! This also international security. Becuase rogue nations live outside the ring of international economy. This proclamation can get rid of those rogue nations! So lets ban together and lift all bans on weapons of mass destruction!

^^^^^^^^^That is it right there.^^^^^^^^^

I realize that you didn't live through the cold war, and probably have no idea whats going on in the world right now, but arms races only further the security dilemma, not prevent it.

i wouldn't say ban all WMD's (they're not all banned) but as far as i'm concerned, anything that not only destroys your target, but also leaves the area uninhabitable for more then the time it takes to rebuild it, should be banned

that means all fission weapons, biological weapons and chemical weapons

in addition every nation should have a fully functioning AICBM system (Anti-ICBM system)

Weapons of mass destruction make nations stronger.
It also takes away the balance of power of countries.

They help weak natoins in times of need and can eradicate rogue nations who like to terrorize the nations that are trying to prosper!
By lifting the ban, you give a lot more room for abuse. Those same rogue nation will use the weapons to expand their tiranny.

We of Chumba agree with the member of Karfiole. Lifting the ban will only bring trouble on the world. We of Chumber, will do our up most to keep the ban.

WMDs don't necessarily help small nations -- large nations can always build more than small ones. If by "eradicating rogue nations" you mean nuking them into oblivion, there's something wrong with this picture.

That said, where is this ban you speak of? I was searching for "ban" in all past UN Resolutions and found those three letters in:

UN taxation ban
Resolution 245A Proper Grammar
Ban Single-Hulled Tankers
Oceanic Waste Dumping
Banning the use of Landmines

(and the Global AIDS Initiative, but "banks" clearly doesn't get it on that list)

I believe he is talking about the Elimination of Bio Weapons resolution.
