Preamble
The signatory parties to this treaty, noting with indignation and disapproval the human suffering incurred by civilians due to the use of particular weapons, resolve to take affirmative action to prevent such suffering at their own hands. With this goal in mind it has been concluded that we, the signatories, shall adhere to this treaty and the terms dictated therein.
Article 1: Weapons to be prohibited
a) Anti-personnel landmines; defined as a munition designed to be placed under, on or in close proximity of the ground with the intention of being detonated by the presence or proximity of a human being.
b) Cluster munitions; defined as any munition designed to fragment, upon detonation, into any larger number of explosive devises which can then detonate separately from the main device.
c) Napalm; defined as any thickening or gelling agent that is mixed with a flammable substance with the intention of being ignited for the purpose of causing harm.
d) Nuclear weapons; defined as any weapon which derives its destructive power from a nuclear reaction.
e) Chemical weapons; defined as any chemical substance which can be delivered or dispersed by munitions for the purpose or causing harm or death to human beings.
f) Biological weapons; defined as any weapon which uses biological agents to deliberately cause disease or death.
g) Weapons which cause superfluous injury; defined as any munition or weapon designed to cause injury which is more than the minimum required to incapacitate a legitimate target.
Article 2: General obligations
a) Production; no signatory shall produce any of the weapons proscribed above or knowingly support their production within their borders or elsewhere.
b) Possession; no signatory shall possess any of the weapons prohibited in Article One nor shall they permit them to enter into their territorial land, sea or airspace even when in transit.
c) Transportation; in addition to prohibiting the proscribed weapons from entering their territory, no signatory shall allow their resources to be used to transport the prohibited weapons anywhere on Micras.
d) Usage; no signatory shall permit their forces or anyone holding citizenship or residency of their state to deploy any weapons proscribed in Article One.
e) Trade; no signatory shall promote or participate in the trade or transfer of prohibited munitions.
Article 3: Exceptions
a) The weapons and munitions prohibited in Article One may be possessed by a signatory state for the purpose of training personnel in the detection and destruction of the prohibited items provided that the amount of munitions possessed is the bare minimum required for this purpose.
b) The transfer of prohibited weaponry is permitted for the purpose of their destruction on the condition that the disposal of the prohibited item occurs as promptly as possible.
