This has been rushed to quorum, again, and in my opinion the draft has not improved; if anything it's got worse.

I agree completely with VC. We strongly urge a vote AGAINST
.

 

One specific issue: clause 3 effectively bars member nations from aiding non-member nations in the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

This proposal has been withdrawn. Again.
