Vote Against GA resolution Limitation Of Inhumane Weaponry


General Assembly Vote Recommendation

Part of the Information for WA Voters program

Resolution at Vote: Limitation Of Inhumane Weaponry
Vote Recommendation: Against

Resolution Analysis
This proposal, while written for a noble cause, is undermined by its contradictory wording and unclear intentions of the author. While Clause 4 seemingly only prohibits its use in "situations where lethal force would also be prohibited", thus allowing most military uses, clause 5 then prohibits "development of, trade in, and funding" of these weapons, making it effectively a blanket ban. Such a blanket ban would in fact undermine security, by depriving nations of a way of defending themselves. In addition, many inhumane weapons, including chemical and bio-weapons, are already covered by previous resolutions, while nuclear weapons cannot be prohibited per GA#10, rendering the scope of this current proposal to be ineffective.

For these reasons, the ministry recommends a vote Against this proposal.
