General Assembly Resolution #116 “Nuclear Waste Safety Act” (Category: International Security; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Noting that GA#116 decrees that those members who wish to import nuclear waste, but cannot “prove it has all the necessary structure so that international nuclear waste shall never leak, be stolen, or otherwise diverted from perpetual storage […] shall be forbidden to receive international waste,”
Concerned that this requirement, by failing to clarify what sort of “international waste” cannot be received by members who are unable to fulfil it, may render such members unable to receive any waste from abroad (even non-nuclear) simply because that they cannot adequately store imported nuclear waste,
Believing that it is most certainly not sensible to forbid a nation from importing food waste or discarded plastic bags because it cannot securely store nuclear waste from abroad, and
Saluting GA#645 “Responsible Handling of Toxic Materials” and GA#699 “Safe Transportation of Hazardous Materials” for introducing regulations on the storage and international transportation of all toxics (not only nuclear waste) respectively which are sufficiently stringent and watertight as to render GA#116 unnecessary…
The General Assembly hereby repeals GA#116 “Nuclear Waste Safety Act.”
