Hello everyone,
I am working on a draft resolution for the World Assembly called the Nuclear Weapons Limitation Treaty.
To explain my motives behind this, I have viewed the existing resolutions and have seen none concerning this topic.
What this draft will seek to do is not to ban nuclear weapons but to set a ceiling on the number a nation can possess. Ofcourse the obvious question is why set a ceiling? Nuclear weapons are not really meant to be used in war but rather to prevent war (Nuclear Deterrence) with the belief that any attack on a Nuclear Country will lead to nuclear retaliation.
The Nature of NS is such that all nations can claim to have them. However using them is another matter in itself. Any person with an interest in World Political Matters knows that countries with the nuclear deterrence keep at all time nuclear armed submarine on patrol to counter attack if they were to suffer a first strike. Any good RP-er in NS will probably do to the same. No sane person would start a nuclear war for this reason alone.
Thus I would like my draft resolution to attempt to set a number on the nuclear weapons a country can possess. A nuclear program cost billions to run and maintain and there is always a threat associated with them; including and not limited to robbery, sabotage, nuclear meltdown, etc...
My nation believes that the the World and other nations stands to benefit through this treaty as the lessen maintenance cost means more funds available for other programs such as welfare and a first step towards the a nuclear weapon free world (we can all dream can't we).
In short the main benefits could be broken down point wise
All feedback are welcome. This is still an idea and I would greatly appreciate any constructive posts telling why it will work/will not work and any other form of contribution.

In short the main benefits could be broken down point wise
- Funds can be diverted to other Programs
- Limits future creation of Nuclear Waste
- Reduce Exposition of World Population to Nuclear Material/Elements
