Details

Voting deadline: January 4363
Description[?]:
The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction - chemical, biological and nuclear - must be prevented. However, it is a difficult argument to make to other countries when our nation has a store of such weaponry at its disposal and we do nothing to reduce our stockpile. It is our belief that Vanuku should make a stand by announcing a blanket ban on the development, production and use of chemical or biological weapons. Furthermore, we should look at reducing the number of nuclear weapons we have in our arsenal and setting new protocols for when these weapons can be used. People say this will lessen the effectiveness of out most important deterrent and leave us exposed - I say Vanuku's conventional military might is deterrent enough to any rogue power that would consider hostilities. Nees Maes Republican Party Leader in the Grand Council Article 5 - Vanuku shall reduce its current nuclear arsenal by 50 per cent. (OOC: Vanuku has a small stockpile of nuclear weapons (12) last quantified in this report: (http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=7319&p=116858&hilit=nuclear#p116805) |
