If nations wish to do this, they can without WA involvement.

First: this paragraph
HEREBY creates the World Assembly Space Research Station Committee, that will be tasked with the following:
should be changed to either
HEREBY creates the World Assembly Space Research Station Committee as a subsidiary of COSC (resolution 63),...:
or
HEREBY creates the World Assembly Space Research Station Committee as a subsidiary of WASP (resolution 87),...:
or even
TASKS the WASP with:
The last option would avoid the creation of yet another committee.
Second: in order to avoid the ambiguities of this paragraph
DESIGNATES the World Assembly Space Research Station as a weapons free and nuclear weapon free facility, unless the station is designed to use nuclear power as its main source of energy.
it should be changed to
DESIGNATES the World Assembly Space Research Station as a weapons-free facility.
If the honored delegates and other members wish to add a paragraph declaring the station nuclear-power-free, we see no objections.
Third: this paragraph should be removed entirely
REALIZES that there is a need for the WASRS to protect itself from attack by enemies of the World Assembly. Because of this counter-measures will be allowed on the station to defend it from anti-satellite weapons.
because it is in contradiction with WAR#2 article 10
Article 10 § Whilst WA Member States may engage in wars, the World Assembly as a body maintains neutrality in matters of civil and international strife. As such, the WA will not engage in commanding, organising, ratifying, denouncing, or otherwise participating in armed conflicts, police actions, or military activities under the WA banner.
Unless the matters discussed in points 2 and 3 are addressed we see no way that this proposal could ever be ratified, since it would be contradictory to older WA resolutions.
But if this proposal is withdrawn and a modified one is submitted the Free People of Libertytopia will whole-heartedly support the creation of a Space Station!
Per aspera ad astra!

You're absolutely correct about that. You can reference "existing international law" or some such, but you can't specify a particular resolution and make your proposal dependent upon it.
