THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, Keeping in mind that nuclear weapons pose a significant threat to the general well-being and safety of the world,
Noting the destruction that may be caused by the use of nuclear weapons; Observing that it is possible that certain nations may hold malevolent intent for their nuclear weapons, whether existing or that will come to exist, Guided by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT),
Bearing in Mind that many nations have thus far taken limited action on reducing nuclear armaments,

Taking into account that the eight nations that are currently in possession of nuclear weapons are the key players in reducing armaments,

Welcoming the idea of nuclear weapon disarmament,

Expressing that only non-proliferation without disarmament through the NPT will create a sense of vulnerability within the non-nuclear states,

Noting with regret that the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty allows these current weapon holders to maintain their weapons,

Recognizing, that any actions made by this committee cannot infringe upon the national sovereignty of any country,

Upholding the idea for nuclear weapons disarmament,

    Despite the fall of the Soviet Union 19 years ago in 1991, the issue of nuclear arms, besides terrorism, remains one of the chief security concerns in the contemporary world. Accordingly, the following issues concerning nuclear arms remained unresolved security concerns.Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These events not only brought about the surrender of the Japan and an end to World War II, but they also helped shaped the nature of international politics for the next six decades.The atomic bomb is the crudest form of a series of powerful nuclear weapons to be eventually developed and come into existence. Both superpowers, the United States of America and the Soviet Union, eventually built massive stockpiles of nuclear weapons during the Cold War. This escalation of nuclear arms possession led to…

    The advent of nuclear weapons dawned a new and terrifying era in human history. The destructive power of the atomic bomb, demonstrated at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ushered in a global climate of fear. Emerging from the rubble of the Second World War, the U.S. and Soviet Union became the two most dominant economic, political, and military superpowers in the global arena. Upholding fundamental ideological differences, the U.S. and Soviet Union became entrenched in their respective camps of capitalism and communism. Having acquired nuclear weapons, and illustrated their ability to use them, the U.S challenged the Soviet Union’s military might. The Soviet Union promptly accepted this challenge by successfully acquiring nuclear capabilities on par with the U.S. In effect, a nuclear arms race ensued and the Cold War began. Fear of nuclear annihilation ultimately swept across the globe and into the homes of American citizens.…

    To illustrate the issue, next year the NNSA is seeking one point three billion dollars to work on six different types of nuclear weapons. Not to mention that the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the United States will use around three hundred and fifty-five billion dollars on their nuclear arsenal (Feinstein). “Furthermore, our nuclear stockpile is competing for limited defense spending, money that could be used to address more pressing challenges such as the fight against the Islamic State and defending against cyber attacks” (Feinstein). As Feinstein says, nuclear weapons are an unnecessary burden on the nation's wallet. Therefore, they need to start the process of disarmament to make room for a better solution. Another key thing to remember is that the United States is already well over 18 trillion dollars in debt and…

    I clearly recognize that defensive systems have limitations and raise certain problems and ambiguities. If paired with offensive systems, they can be viewed as fostering an aggressive policy, and no one wants that. But with these considerations firmly in mind, I call upon the scientific community in our country, those who gave us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace, to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.…

    As I look over to the future, I realize that I may be part of the first generation of humans to live without fear of immediate extinction by other humans. The power of such a weapon, in the wrong hands, would leave no one safe and words such as ‘national security’ would have no meaning at all. When you grow up, your world would either be in peace and prosperity maintained by these weapons or extinct. With such a weapon, nations would think twice before declaring war. But if they do, that will be the last declaration they might ever…

    Pessimists argue that the growth of nuclear weapon states will most likely lead to a complex international setting with dangerously unstable tensions between states. Even a simple ignition of a single state can lead to a chain reaction of nuclear attacks ultimately leading to an all-out nuclear world war. I disagree with this claim because no responsible state will launch a nuclear attack against a state possessing nuclear weapons knowing that it will face an immediate nuclear counter threat by the targeted state and its…

    Georges Clemenceau once said “war is too important to be left to the generals.” In Dr. Strangelove, Col. Ripper remarks that now “war is too important to be left to the politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought” but Kubrick’s message implies that war is too important to be left to anybody at all. So with the persistence of nuclear technology as weapons of mass destruction, the question arises: Do we, as decision-makers, have the restraint not to use such weapons on one another? The question remains unanswered, but if there is to be peace, we must remain cautious and aware of their implications. Nuclear technology gives humanity an incredible opportunity to move forward, but if misused, it could send all life on earth back to the stone…

    Although the Cold War had many negative influences on global society, it also helped to create a stable political world, as evidenced by the fact that during the Cold War era, civil wars, nationalistic uprisings, and ethnic cleansings were almost non-existent. As well, the world economic situation was subsequently greatly improved by the military build-up caused by the Cold War. The implementation of the American "Marshall Plan" and the Communist "Molotov Plan", the nuclear arms race, and the global military build-up all served to create global political stability and economic prosperity.…

    Millions killed in nuclear disaster, thousands left homeless, countries left in peril! These are some of the many consequences that are faced in a nuclear dependent world. Day after day people live in fear that one tiny mistake, one wrong word can cripple our world and leave the survivors living in rubble. The world has discovered that despite the enormous precautions taken, disasters and destruction still constantly resurface themselves through our short, but eventful nuclear history. During World War II, Albert Einstein sent a letter to President Dwight Eisenhower that has shaped mankind from that moment on. It described a weapon that would release enough energy to destroy an entire city("USA weapons of mass destruction." ). Now nearly four score ago the consequences we face for this technology has been detrimental to our society. Scientific discoveries also yielded the idea of using this extraordinary power as an energy source and a extraordinary threat.Due to these undeniable risks, the world needs to remove all sources of nuclear weaponry and power.…

In addition, the National Resource Defense Counsel Report should keep track of the nuclear warheads that each country has. As…

    There are numerous documented cases of safety mechanisms failing on nuclear weapons, very nearly causing nuclear launches. New proliferating states often have crude security measures and are not as advanced as established nuclear powers, increasing the chance of an accident. Moreover, some nuclear programs are also secretive, decreasing the transparency and ability for groups to scrutinize and criticize the process. Instead of risking a potentially catastrophic accident, nuclear weapons should simply be…
