In no way is this Global Disarmament. It's a Category violation. You might make a case for Political Stability (Mild), but it's a long shot. It would probably need some rework.

Political Stability
A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.

These are exactly opposed types of resolutions and affect Political Freedoms. "The Furtherment of Democracy" increases these freedoms while "Political Stability" reduces them. Remember that these freedoms primarily discuss the domestic Political policies of WA member nations; Shall the WA require its members to grant more or less say in the operations of their government? Who makes the decisions? Whether or not you even get to vote on anything (or anyone) is a Political Freedoms issue. Total Political Freedoms represent something akin to pure democracies, where every single citizen has a direct vote in every single matter. Zero Political Freedoms means that the citizens (or subjects, or slaves) have no say in the operations of government whatsoever. Imposing regulation on campaign finances is a mild form of reducing Political Freedoms.

"Mild" versions of either category will push nations in a particular direction, but only as far as the center. Stronger versions will push nations towards a more extreme end of the spectrum.

is it possible to have a ruling on the categorical legality of my proposal before i resubmit under political stabillity: mild? fris seemed slightly tentative about declaring it legal in that category.

other possible categorizations that have been suggested, international security, but i highly doubt that. also human rights, but that seems wrong too.

Are you also Decapod Ten?

I wrote in that same post that the thing is effectively unreadable. That should be a hint that it needs some work. Hack said the same thing. Perhaps you should take that advice before seeking a category ruling.
