Created a bill on International Trade,
Is it legal, are there mistakes, are there questions?
Let me know,
Description: The World Assembly Human Rights, Significant,
To protect neutral countries from being destroyed by foreign wars, the following shall be made law
[b]NOTING [/b] that in wartime blockading an enemies trade routes is a significant strategy
[b]CONCERNED [/b] that small or neutral nations dependant on materials brought in by trade, may be cut off from one or all of their required income sources to sustain life.
[b]BELIEVING [/b] all nations have the right to use trade routes for the good of their country and have international waters needed for foreign trade to be open and not be blocked by an aggressor nation.
[b]ACKNOWLEDGING [/b] that a wartime strategy is to block ones enemies supply routes which is permissible under military doctrine.
[b] NEVERTHELESS [/b] during a blockade of trade routes the aggressor may not prohibit the export of materials needed to sustain neutral or uninvolved nations that require trade income for survival.
[b]ENACTING [/b] the National Trade Directory
[b] National Trade Directory [/b] All Nations must have all their trade and trade routes filed with the WA to insure that in time of war neutral or uninvolved nations receive their necessary trade or get restitution from the blockading force or WA if necessary.
[b]INSISTING [/b] that the below guidelines will be followed to insure uninvolved or neutral nations be able to continue normal operations without having their trade routes interrupted.
1) Nations at war
i) Have the right to blockade their enemy's trade routes
ii) Have the right to prohibit the crossing of merchant vessels that are non essential to uninvolved nations survival (provided that it is legal according to WA documentation listed above)
iii) Cannot blockade ships that are the sole supply of income to neutral or uninvolved nations
iv) Must pay restitution to neutral or uninvolved nations which suffer due to a blockade no matter if they win or lose (if the neutral nation petitions it according).
2) Neutral Nations

ii) Must have their trade routes and trade income on file with the WA
iii) Have the right to petition a blockade which coincides with the Trade Directory
iv) Has the right with WA supervision to mobilize its own blockade on the aggressor nation as long as it does not violate this bill or other WA law
iv) Can petition such blockade which under law dictates the blockading force must pay restitution.
3) WA Elected body
i) Promises to ensure no neutral or uninvolved nation during wartime may be destroyed or severely depleted of necessary resources.
ii) If a neutral country petitions a blockade, the WA shall place embargos on the aggressor nation
iii) Will intervene in time of war to place embargoes on a blockading fleet's nation if they harm neutral nation's trade income or refuse to pay restitutions.
iv) In accordance to section ii and iii if a neutral country is found to have aided any party at war (any supplies used for war/ unconventional trade items) shall have their neutrality revoked and will be void of the WA help listed above
v) Will try to help neutral nations in order to keep their economy stable
[b]FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGING [/b] blockades are still legal as long as they don’t endanger neutral countries. Also Sanctions are still separate and are still honored and legal, this bill does not prohibit separate sanctions.
[b]HEREBY [/b] passes into law that a blockade must be limited to the import trade of another combatant and is not infringe on a neutral or uninvolved nations trade endeavors.
