Bill: Armaments Export Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Socialist Movement
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 2114
Description[?]:
| Being a peaceful nation, Hobrazia still has a law allowing us to export weapons to other countries. Given, this is on a case-by-case basis, but what's the point? Armaments are tools of killing, and as a peaceful nation seeling arms to other countries is condoning this. They may even be used against us sometimes! Measures like this are damaging to world harmony, and the USM calls it to be abolished. |

Old value:: The government must approve all arms sales on a case by case basis.

| Message | Why change? We can deny exports and the current treaties I'm working on would be useless as this is a stipulation in most treatys.. Keep it the way it is now it's fine. |
