(This has nothing to do with the Nonproliferation resolution we are discussing, but the First strike one says "The only effective and sane use of such weapons is for defence." Sane? I dunno about that.)
I must agree that this proposal is extremely weak, and could effectively accomplish nothing, as it doesn't ban snew tates from building weapons, nor the transfer of "peaceful" technology, which can be adapted into weapons technology. If the real goal is to use this as a launchpad for new resolutions, though, I can see this as a good start.
I do hope it would pass. This is the type of thing the UN should be doing.
