Limitation of Inhumane Weaponry
A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.
Category: Global DisarmamentStrength: MildProposed by: The COT Corporation
 
The World Assembly,

LAUDING the current ban on biological weapons, established by this body,

INSPIRED by the resounding support given to similar proposals,

OBSERVING that inhumane weaponry still holds a place in the world,

BELIEVING that weaponry solely designed to maim or cause permanent disability should be regulated,

HEREBY;

1. Defines "maiming" to be the infliction of a permanent major injury or disability, such as loss of a limb or loss of function in sensory organs such as the eyes;

2. Defines "inhumane weaponry" as any weaponry solely designed to maim sapient targets, rather than kill them;

3. Clarifies that the incidental ability to cause such an injury is not by itself sufficient to render a weapon inhumane;

4. Prohibits the use of inhumane weaponry in all situations where lethal force would also be prohibited;

5. Mandates that member nations cease development of, trade in, and funding of inhumane weaponry.

Alistair Stonesworth and the government of Concrete Slab will be voting For this proposal. While we value our arms and authorize the use of weapons such as WMDs, we believe that the proposal is reasonable and prohibits the use and production of "inhumane" weapons. "Inhumane weapons" are defined as arms that serve only to maim targets, not to kill. For these reasons, we will be voting For.

The Tecorogan Federation will be changing its abstain vote, to a vote in favor of this resolution. We believe this to be a reasonable compromise to prohibit the proliferation of weapons that cause unnecessary suffering. The right to adopt means of inflicting injury in times of conflict should not be unlimited.
