Ok, in all fairness, I am including both the long form of this proposal, which shall appear first, and the shortened version required to submit for the proposals quorum...
**********************************************************************
Whereas the United Nations realizes the need to reduce the threat of nuclear, chemical, and biological threat, and
Whereas the United Nations wishes to ensure the safety of societies around the globe,
Designates that this proposal will only apply to weapons of biological, chemical, or nuclear natures hereafter known as BCNs.
Requests that all member nations of the UN agree to the following reduced arms proposal, hereafter to be known as the United Nations Reduced Arms Proposition or 'UNRAP'.
Encourages UN member nations to enact similar arms reduction pacts with their non-UN military allies.
First Strike Clause-- All UN member nations will agree to abide by a policy that no BCN weapons will be used to initiate a "first strike" attack against UN member nations or non-member nations. All UN members will retain the right to launch pre-emptive strikes with conventional arms of any type not listed above against both member and non-member countries and to use BCN weapons against other countries who initiate an attack with BCN weapons.
Fail Deadly and Massive Retaliation Clauses-- Any attack by BCN weapons against any member of the UN will be considered a declaration of war upon all members, to be met with immediate retaliation. Any member nation of the UN will be eligible for immediate assistance in military and/or financial terms.
Sub-Clause A-- This offer of support shall not be extended to UN member nations who initiate BCN attacks against other UN member nations or against non-UN nations as this is in direct violation of the "First Strike" clause.
Sub-Clause B-- In the interest of protecting the global environment and neighboring nations from the after effects of a massive BCN retaliatory attack, the UN strongly encourages that retaliatory attacks be made with armaments and ammunition that are as minimally destructive as necessary to the protection and/or military success of the attacked member nation.
Arms Reduction Clause-- Whereas the commitment to massive retaliation effectively increases the nuclear, chemical, and biological capabilities of each member nation many times over, be it resolved that member nations shall commit to making 30% reduction of their individual stockpiles of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons within 10 years.
Sub-Clause A-- In the interest of global environmental concerns, this reduction does not include stockpiles which have become unusable or unstable due to age.
Sub-Clause B-- All UN nations will submit annual reports of stockpiles which have been reduced from usage due to instability, and show the course of action taken to ensure proper disposal of these weapons.
International Oversight Council Clause-- All member nations will present an accounting as to the quantity and security of BCN weapons every two years, in order to increase transparency and reduce tensions among neighboring nations.
Sub-Clause A-- Any nation with suspected security concern who receives more than 3 verifiable accusations of poor handling must consent to an inspection of their security protocols, and will have continued investigation of these protocols for a period of 2 years.
Sub-Clause B-- The UN will form a council to oversee these reports and security investigations. All interested member nations can apply for positions in this council, and the seated members will be rotated at regular intervals to ensure that bribery and complacency will not become an issue.
Space Exploration Clause-- In the interest of advanced nations, all nuclear weapons in use and classified as 'space technologies' will be excluded from their stockpile numbers.
Sub-Clause A-- To prevent the misclassification of these weapons, no advanced country may keep more than twice the necessary number of nuclear weapons in their 'space technologies' programs. The number of necessary nuclear weapons will be accessed once every 2 years and included in the report submitted to the UN regarding stockpiles.
Depleted Uranium Clause-- Be it resolved that the above terms do not currently include depleted uranium ammunitions or armaments.
Sub-Clause A--Be it resolved that the matter of depleted uranium armaments will not be further addressed until an equally effective and financially viable option be adopted by more than 45% of the UN member nations.
