PASSED: Repeal "UN Biological Weapons Ban" - Grosseschnauzer - 02-28-2007

Quote: Repeal "UN Biological Weapons Ban"

A proposal to repeal a previously passed resolution


Category: Repeal


Resolution: #113


Proposed by: Karmicaria

Description: UN Resolution #113: UN Biological Weapons Ban (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The United Nations;

RECONGNIZING the intent of UNR#113 "UN Biological Weapons Ban";

NOTING that UNR #113 includes such things as the common cold and flu, but does not include non-contagious infectious agents such as anthrax, which enables nations to exploit this oversight and develop biological weapons using such non-contagious infectious agents;

CONCERNED that giving control of all biological research facilities to the military within member nations is excessive and would come at a great cost to the nations civil liberties and economies;

DISTURBED that the resolution severely hinders legitimate research of countermeasures to biological attack;

BELIEVING that the united nations can find better ways to convince non-member nations to refrain from using biological weapons through more diplomatic means than by severing and refusing alliances with them;

HEREBY repeals UN Resolution #113 "UN Biological Weapons Ban", in order to make room for more comprehensive legislation.

The replacement has been drafted (over at DEFCON), definitely will be submitted, and is a genuine attempt to fix the old resolution's problems and create a more effective ban.
