New Proposed Nuclear Proliferation Legislation

Have you seen this?

This proposed legislation will make it easy and legal for any crack-pot, tin-pot nation (including my own) to obtain the means to make the bomb.

Have you seen clauses 4 & 5??

This proposal is far too dangerous to see the light of day. There shouldn't even be a vote on it!

Here are just a sample of the mottoes of some of the nations that approved this proposal:

"We'll kill for pleasure and cash......Or Not =P"
"Mess with us and we'll kill you!"
"New Improved Barbaric Militant Machismo 24/7"
"Shoot First And Ask Questions Never!"
"Bombs Come In All Shapes and Sizes"
"When all else fails, violence prevails"
"Ever vigilant, ever paranoid"
"You will be destroyed by Koaltar! "
"The exploding is just a side effect."
"The great duel, the mother of all battles has begun!"
"We'll live"
"Where Everyone, Including The Men, Has Permanent PMS"
"Mottoes are for Jerks"

Need I say more?

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.


Category: Free Trade
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: The Beltway

Description: (Co-authored by Yelda)

The General Assembly of the United Nations,

APPLAUDING the passage of Resolution #151 “Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act,”

BELIEVING the benefits of peaceful atomic energy technology should be available to all UN member nations,

AFFIRMING the right of UN member nations to exchange scientific information on the peaceful application of atomic energy,

NOTING that scientific advancement benefits greatly from collaboration of scientists from multiple nations,

CONCERNED with the potentially international and devastating impact of accidents involving nuclear reactors,

ACKNOWLEDGING that current techniques for disposal of nuclear waste materials are often lacking;

RECOGNIZING the threat of terrorist attacks on nuclear reactors,

DECLARING that all UN member nations are entitled to participate in the free trade of fissionable materials used in said technological applications,

HEREBY:

1. ESTABLISHES the Nuclear Energy Research Commission (NERC), mandated to:
I - Coordinate research into safer and more efficient methods of nuclear power generation,
II - Coordinate research into safer means of nuclear waste disposal,
III - Support efforts to improve the security of nuclear plants;

2. STRONGLY URGES UN member nations to provide assistance to the NERC;

3. CALLS UPON UN member nations to conduct research into safer and more efficient methods of nuclear power generation, especially when such research is not already being conducted by other entities;

4. ENCOURAGES the sale and transfer of nuclear power generation materials and technology between UN nations;

5. REQUIRES the elimination of protectionist devices restricting the trade of nuclear power generation technology, equipment and fissionable materials, including but not limited to tariffs, duties, subsidies, subventions and quotas, within eleven years;

6. FURTHER REQUIRES the elimination of protectionist devices restricting the trade of electrical power generated by nuclear power plants, including but not limited to tariffs, duties, subsidies, subventions and quotas, within eleven years;

7. EMPHASIZES that UN member nations reserve the right to employ retaliatory tariffs towards non-member nations to prevent price dumping;

8. AUTHORIZES the United Nations Free Trade Commission (UNFTC) to arbitrate any trade disputes which may arise concerning the interpretation of this legislation.

Nuclear proliferation is already banned. This deals with peaceful trade in nuclear materials.

The Gruenberger representative is correct. We'll still be voting against the resolution, however.

And a lovely motto it is, and so truthful.:D

If Nuclear Proliferation is already accepted in the UN..and we already have free trade...

Then does this resolution truely have a purpose? Logically if we have free trade the duties and tariffs do not exist to be removed, and thus ANYTHING can be traded, including nuclear power materials. And if we have established nuclear proliferation, then there are no major security issues which would impede this from already happening.

Unless I am perhaps misunderstanding the situation. Or does this resolution simply seek to expand the UN bureacracy by creating yet another agency?


Irregardless my opinion on this matter is irrelevant, my vote will be determined by the democratic results of a poll done by my constituents.:p

We don't have free trade, except in those situations where this has already been agreed: Nations are currently free to set whatever duties & tariffs they want on nuclear material unless that would be in violation of local treaties...

Okie dokie then. So this would more or less be a "free nuclear power trade" resolution :p
