Groot GoudaJun 12 2005, 11:58 AM Ban Chemical Weapons
NOTING the positive consequences of Resolution 16, "Elimination of Bio Weapons", to global security and human welfare;
NOTING ALSO the precedents set by the following Resolutions: 40 (Banning the use of Landmines); 51 (Children in War); 57 (Reduce Black Market Arms Sales); 75 (The Nuclear Terrorism Act); 83 (The Eon Convention on Genocide); and 92 (Humanitarian Intervention) and their positive contributions to global security and human welfare;
REGRETTING that, although there are specific laws banning the trafficking and use of biological and nuclear weapons, there are as yet no such laws on chemical weapons;
BELIEVING that the world should be free of chemical weapons, as it now is of biological weapons;
[/quote]
My government has voted yes, but wanted to point out that the majority of the resolution is but a preamble. And not a very detailed one. The first two clauses merely list a number of resolutions ... while that is good, the list could have been shortened.
The next two clauses are well stated, and serve as a justification ... but my government would have liked more detail in the preamble.
OOC: How is that for a more detailed opinion?
