[box]General Assembly Resolution At Vote
Peaceful First Contact
A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.
Category: Global Disarmament
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Umeria
The World Assembly,
Acknowledging the right of member nations to defend their borders;
Noting that in a first contact, both parties have little to no knowledge of the other;
Realizing that without such knowledge, it is impossible to determine whether starting a war would be beneficial;
Further noting that the consequences of a non-beneficial war are often disastrous;
Concluding, therefore, that member nations should refrain from initiating unprovoked attacks on nations they just met until they know what they have to gain;
Proclaiming that first impressions matter;
Hereby prohibits all citizens of member nations from attacking persons or vehicles of unknown origin, unless it is in response to either an attack or a territorial incursion by said persons or vehicles.[/box]
This one is currently up for vote. Voting ends in 2 days 22 hours. I have to say, for the record, that both as Delegate and as Xiomera, I could not be more opposed to this resolution. It sets a totally unreasonable burden on member nations to decide how to respond to potential threats, in my estimation.
