Amendment to the Nuclear Proliferation Act 2009
-
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 -
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.
-
I fully support the compromise by the right honourable councillor Falk . I would endorse that as an amendment and also withdraw my proposed amendment.

I'd like to also note to the Speaker that Cllr. Mizrachi-Roscoe withdrew their amendment, and if amendment voting is to be redone I would like to propose the following amendment if possible to be included. 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.

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.
