Bill: Ban Of the Use of Catastrophic Weapons
Details
Submitted by[?]: Solentian National Party (SNP)
Status[?]: passed
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: August 3846
Description[?]:
| Today we rise to submit to this body these following proposals. We feel, quite strongly, that the following steps must be taken to insure not just the safety of our great nations, but the safety of other nations as well. Furthermore, we cannot justify spending precious funds on weapons that we know surely we can never use. The use of anyone nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons will surely result in the use of another as retaliation. Such would ensure the loss of countless precious lives and irreparable damage to our environment. We urge all members of this body to take the proposals under due consideration and to vote with your hearts and your minds. |
