IS SEIZED of the necessity of defending itself from threats external to World Assembly member states,
RESOLVES that the use of nuclear weapons against the territory of any World Assembly member state is forbidden,
STATES that this act does not at all regulate the use of weapons against nations which are not members of the World Assembly.

Sorry for double posting and I'm not sure if I submitted this poll correctly but I wanted to start the debate. I think this bill is weak and it's written in a way it leaves contradictory intentions. So you want member nations to not use nuclear weapons at each other, first of all, why would you allow anything else anyway? So I can use white phosphorus against another member nation? or a thermobaric bomb? Seems to be only directed to nuclear weapons as being "evil", but then it pretty much says it allows such usage against nations that aren't members of the WA? It'd be stupid to defend the banning of nuclear weapons between NATO nations but say there's no problem of them using against other nations.
If it was an actual "global disarmament" I'd be all for it, end nuclear weapons, inhumane to use it because the area of effect is far beyond strictly military targets, therefore it should be banned to all nations, period. Maybe that could go with any other weapon as well that has civilian repercussions such as chemical, biological, etc.

Thanks for posting for me.
I also feel that the proposal is weak, which is why I did not support the original proposal.
