Repeal "Ban Chemical Weapons"
The Un Resolution #107: Ban Chemical Weapons, though pure in intent, fails to effectively ban chemical weapons. A new resolution must be drafted to better do this job.
NOTING: Resolution #107 bans chemical weapons, but fails to define the term "chemical weapon," effectively rendering the resolution worthless. Such a loophole allows:
-Use of Chemical Weapons
-Production of Chemical Weapons
-Sale of Chemical Weapons
-Synthesis of chemical agents used in chemical weapons
A new resolution must take it's place, and for that happen, Resolution #107 must be repealed.
The original resolution #107: Ban Chemical Weapons
A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.
Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Mayakovskia
Description: The United Nations,
NOTING the positive consequences of Resolution 16, "Elimination of Bio Weapons", to global security and human welfare;
NOTING ALSO the precedents set by the following Resolutions: 40 (Banning the use of Landmines); 51 (Children in War); 57 (Reduce Black Market Arms Sales); 75 (The Nuclear Terrorism Act); 83 (The Eon Convention on Genocide); and 92 (Humanitarian Intervention) and their positive contributions to global security and human welfare;
REGRETTING that, although there are specific laws banning the trafficking and use of biological and nuclear weapons, there are as yet no such laws on chemical weapons;
BELIEVING that the world should be free of chemical weapons, as it now is of biological weapons;
RESOLVES to ban all production and trafficking in chemical weapons, and to take steps towards the ultimate decommissioning of all chemical weapons currently in existence.
Votes For: 10,006
Votes Against: 7,109
Implemented: Wed Jun 15 2005
You can see the clear discrepancies in the original resolution, and the need for a new, better resolution banning chemical weapons. Please support this repeal.
