Deweaponisation of Space
Telekarta Wed Apr 06, 2011 1:28 pm
Official Resolution
Enact "Deweaponisation of Space"
Resolution SS#011
Proposed by: The International Security Board of Telekarta
Description: This bill intends to provide the terms for a complete deweaponisation of space.
DEFINING a "space weapon" as a vehicle capable of travel in space that also has been purposely designed as to able to cause damage.
ACKNOWLEDGING that some spacecrafts contain propulsion modules that can also be used to cause damage, if not directly. (Example 001: Orion Nuclear Propulsion Drive)
PROPOSING that all spacecraft that include propulsion modules that can cause indirect damage to be crewed MULTI-NATIONALLY as to prevent one nation using such a drive to it's own advantage.
ACKNOWLEDGING that peaceful, unarmed space missions will not be impeaded by this bill, provided they meet the requirements of the above two clauses.
PROPOSING that any spacecraft currently in orbit that have a built-in capability to cause direct damage be immediately grounded, dismantled, or disarmed. Spacecraft with an ability to cause indirect damage must also be halted, pending deployment of an agreed multinational crew.
NOTING that no new spacecraft that has an ability to cause damage be allowed to be deployed into space, nor may any spacefaring craft containing the ability to cause direct damage be constructed.
BELIEVING such weapons are reckless amounts of power for any one nation to hold
BELIEVING such weapons can easily be abused by nations
BELIEVING the disarmament of such weapons would ultimately result in a more peaceful future for Sermo
The Sermo Senate hereby enacts resolution #011, "Deweaponisation of Space"
Telekarta is FOR bill SS#011
Please discuss. Discussion ends three days from now, at 20:30GMT 9th April 2011.
Voting shall start at 20:40GMT 9th April 2011.

With the deweaponization of space, comes the threat of asteroids impacting the Earth's surface.

Argulor is AGAINST this resolution, believing while the Space Program would be much better if it was multinational, but acknowledging the billions, if not trillions already spent on the major space programs, then a country could be losing all that. But, eventually, such a resolution like this should be enacted, making the Sermo space project multinationally funded, and giving each country a chance to be part of the great unknown frontier of Space.

Tekros is against this resolution, as millions of Krufors have been spent in Space Weapon research, and it would be wasteful if all of that was discarded. I also believe the Weapons in question would act as deterrents in future conflicts.

Baclav is against this resolution. While we have not made great costs in our (military) space programmes, the paperwork involved has.

It is amusing that you voted for the disarnament of nuclear weapons, yet have no trouble with spacecraft armed with weaponry that can cause equal, or even more damage.

Was that comment aimed at me?
I don't remember voting on the nuclear disarmament at all.
Don't let my reputation as the most armed nation in Sermo mislead you- we are a very peaceful and hardworking nation.
However, I do not want the funds spent resolving the paperwork for our (military) space programmes to go wasted.
Perhaps I can place a replacing order for "Space Defence Satellite" to be replaced by "Communication Satellite", which is a bit costly but won't waste the programme.
Though we don't really need that many communication satellites.
I still stand by my stance as against until further notice.

IGNORE EVERYTHING I WROTE UNDER THIS, I HAD JUST WOKEN UP.

And if this is aimed at me...
I personally believe I can trust the several nations with space programs, even though I have no military. Also, your plan to disarm any spacecraft that even has the CAPABILITY of damaging nations is, at best, flawed. Think about it, you don't specifically state what "damage" is, is damage to people, the environment, nations? Hell, if it's to any of these, any spacecraft can be considered breaking this! Under that, if a spacecraft could crash out of the sky and hit someone/something, it would be breaking this. I believe you should specifically state what damage is, and, wait to enact this resolution until an opportune time, when the damages to the coffers of Sermo Nations wouldn't be as high as it is now.
Edit: Also, I didn't vote on the nuclear disarmament resolution, but if I did, I would of voted For, mattering on what it did.

Hippostania is strongly against this resolution. The Hippostanian Space Programme will be completely useless if it can't be used to defend our homeland from invaders.

You should probably read the resolution a little bit more closely.
