“This is a step in the right direction, towards liberalizing trade and technology. For that reason the Libertarian Alliance agrees with this.”
Allied Defence and Strategic Security Act of 2024
Rationale
Fjordheim’s defence industry should strengthen our national security and our closest partnerships, not arm governments we cannot trust. This Act limits arms exports to close allies while ensuring Fjordheim remains at the forefront of responsible military technology.

| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| A Better Fjordheim Proposer | 8 | Yes | No reason given |
| ASTER | 7 | No | This bill reverses, article by article, the two strongest commitments in ASTER's own Peace and Accountability Act. We banned arms exports outright; this brings back a "close allies" exception, a category that shifts with whichever government holds power and whichever war looks convenient to arm at the time. We banned autonomous weapons outright; this brings back "mandatory human control," the same soft safeguard the world has already watched erode in practice once the technology existed and the incentive to use it followed. A total ban doesn't ask anyone to trust that oversight holds — it removes the choice from the table entirely, for every government that comes after this one, not just this one. Fjordheim chose restraint deliberately, in writing. We're not walking it back because a "responsible" version sounds better than the real thing. ASTER votes No. |
| Democratic Liberal Platform | 3 | Yes | The second article goes too far, but the first we can live with |
| Libertarian Alliance | 0 | Yes | This is a step in the right direction, towards liberalizing trade and technology. For that reason the Libertarian Alliance agrees with this. |
