We do recognize this proposed resolution is much better than Resolution 97 as modified by Resolution 112 and so may vote for it but really believes some additional important matters could be addressed.
Unlike the penchant of Terran nations to sink each others ships, we have to date behaved quite well about responsible use of nuclear weapons. So what are the dangers? First, nuclear weapons mounted on delivery platforms will statistically eventually find some bozo stupid or insane enough to fire it. So the nuclear war danger is primarily mounted warheads ready for delivery. What I would propose is that no more than three nuclear warheads be actually mounted and those be for testing. Others may be stored. We like the suggested 30 total safely stored but are not wedded to it.
Second, there is environmental hazard. Once a nuclear warhead is produced it is an environmental hazard. Eventually it will degrade. We really think accounting for the degraded weapons that have already been produced is important. To date to our knowledge only two nations have done this. We think transparent accountability for handling degradation is necessary.
Third, while we have no real objection to the list of nuclear nations, we do have four comments. Again we are not necessarily opposed to this list. Second, it probably is no worse than the list used to make the list for Resolution 97. Third, Deltaria actually prefers no nations be allowed nuclear weapons. None. Fourth, our intelligence on nuclear weapons does not square with this list.
It is possible we could compare intelligence but this could take some time. Another solution would be go for transparency requiring both disclosure and inspections. Let any nation try but limit mounting for use to three and storage to thirty. But no one allowed undisclosed and uninspected production storage, delivery platform mounting, testing or use. We would have no problem with megaton limits but those nuclear powers actually storing warheads might.
Again, we do recognize this proposal on the floor as an improvement.
