Amendment to the Nuclear Proliferation Act 2009

Istkalen

Cllr. Tusk, I am willing to support your amendment and withdraw my own on one condition - that in the case of the return of Angleter to active engagement in European Affairs, it is reinstated as a member of the ENAA.

Iras Tilkanas
Council Speaker and Councillor for the Republic of Istkalen

Spain

I accept that condition, Ms. Speaker.

Donald Tusk
Councillor for Spain

Yosai

Skull trio? Really? Surely you can think of a better name that doesn't make us sound like some garage speed metal band? Well in any case I just don't see any reason to change the ENAA in its current form.

Izumi Miwako
Councilor of the Federal Republic of Yosai

California

Skull trio is uncalled for. Please disagree with less outwardly hostile terms please.

Istkalen

I withdraw my amendment.

Iras Tilkanas
Council Speaker and Councillor for the Republic of Istkalen

Yosai

I propose the following

1.The ENAA shall consist of five members, four of which will be permanent members and one of which will be by majority vote of the council selected by the European Council every 12 months. This single elected member must be a non-nuclear state and will vacate their seat if they obtain nuclear weapons.

The four ~~permanent~~ members of the ENAA are as follows:
a. The Aelir of the Kendro-Laatzenian Dominions of the Duxburian Union
b. ~~The Prime Minister of the Apostolic Kingdom of Angleter~~ The Emperor of Inimicus
c. The Archbishop of the Most Blessed State of Inquista
d. The Korojaunu of the United Dominions of Icholasen

3.The nations that will have representation on the ENAA should assign their most powerful political figure to the role.

To ratify a vote within the ENAA, a majority of 51% or greater of the present voting members is required. For there to be a valid vote, a minimum quorum of three members must be obtained.

My only contention is with the word permanent. I think it creates an unnecessary lock on membership of aspiring states further cements the interests of a few states on matters which effect us all. Therefore I proposed that in amendment one that all states that apply should be elected via a majority vote of this council. Why not let democracy decide?

Izumi Miwako

Councilor of the Federal Republic of Yosai

Vayinaod

I believe that if we are going to reform the ENAA's membership to keep it updated and in line with the current geopolitical situation I feel the most proper organization would be as follows:

Two permanent members:

Aelir of the Kendro-Laatzenian Dominions of the Duxburian Union
The Archbishop of the Most Blessed State of Inquista

Two elected members:

One nuclear state
One non-nuclear state

This would obviously create an even number of seats on the board necessitating super majorities but I feel this would if anything be beneficial to the institutions legitimacy. I would like to see how the chamber feels in general about the proposal before moving forward on drafting an amendment to that effect.

Now that is my proposal, let me go on to state why I feel the others brought forward for the most part do not function that well.

Inimicus I believe, especially its Emperor, would be a trustworthy member in the context of the ENAA. However, its geopolitical issues with a variety of members states would unfortunately just hamper the institutions legitimacy through constant attacks from those opposing member-states. It's nothing Inimicus did, its just the logical progression of what would happen if they were to rise up to the position.

Cllr. Roscoe is beyond wrong. Yosai is not capable of handling itself as a member of the ENAA, and would face similar bias issues as Inimicus. Not to mention including it as a permanent member would give non-nuclear states a majority which defeats the purpose of the ENAA.

It is a technical institution. Not a political one. It's job is to examine a state and evaluate whether it is truly trusthworthy of being handed nuclear weapons, and I do not believe they have made an outwardly bad choice thus far in its history. The states with the most technical expertise in whether a state can handle the needed security, technological handling, political restraint in dealing with these weapons of massive destruction are other nuclear states. They have that experience. No one else does. The purpose of the non-nuclear states on the ENAA is to give some legitimacy to the organisation, but it still needs to be a technical institution first and foremost.

Which is why making it a completely "democratic" body is short-sighted. It fails to recognize the purpose of the ENAA and turns it into the biased body that some Cllrs. are so against here of but yet do not mind the potential of making it a biased body if it benefits them.

Those are my thoughts on the subject.

Cllr. Carita Falk
Archrepublic of Vayinaod

Yosai

I do like this compromise by my colleague Carita Falk. At least there is a chance to not have a permanent majority on issues such as nuclear arsenals. Majorities will come and go, but at least there is not a permanent majority. And while we are flattered to be considered as a worthy candidate by our colleagues from the Duchies, I agree with Councillor Faik, we have no aspirations to join as members of the ENAA in any capacity at this time. What we want is balance and the amendment proposed by the Archrepublic of Vayinaod's representative is at the moment the bast solution to ensure that.

BrumBrum

I fully support the compromise by the right honourable councillor Falk . I would endorse that as an amendment and also withdraw my proposed amendment.

James Mizrachi-Roscoe , Councillor for United Duchies

California

I understand this would be irregular but due to the holidays I hope this would be offered some consideration as it does stress some important updates to the act as the cited position of does not exist currently for that specific version of the Duxburian Union for example.

Istkalen

The withdrawal of Cllr. Mizrachi-Roscoe's amendment is reason merely to render null votes for his amendment; however, it is the holiday season, as you say, it is probably a better idea to redo votes with your amendment included, Cllr. Falk. My apologies to all in advance.
