NOTING the danger presented by nuclear fallout

CONCERNED about the testing and use of nuclear weapons

HEREBY RESOLVES that all nations shall prohibit, prevent, and not carry out nuclear explosions, test or otherwise, at any place within their jurisdiction or control in the atmosphere, underwater, or in any other environment if an explosion would send radioactive fallout outside of the territorial limits of the nation carrying out the explosion;

FURTHER RESOLVES that all nations refrain from causing, encouraging, or participating in any nuclear explosion, test or otherwise, in any environment described above. [/quote]
This is a tough one. I keep waffling on it. I'm figuring it won't pass, so perhaps a strategic vote in favor to encourage it to be tried again?

Woah. I had missed this on prior readings.

I've bolded the important parts and the most important part I've even underlined. Now, keeping in mind that the law means what the law says, this resolution says that no WA member nation can detonate a nuclear weapon, for any reason, if the fallout will end up outside their territory. Now, do you still think that this only applies to testing?[/quote]
I think a vote AGAINST is strongly warranted.

Like the principle, but against for my usual reasons.
