It's based on bullshit, as the World Assembly does fully supersede national law, and it doesn't define "national autonomy" or how this proposal limits it. Also, category violation. Also, it misunderstands how WA policy is enforced. Noncompliance is not an option.

I would accept that category as correct. After all, 'Sensible Limits on Hunting' is already in that category. Mind you, this proposal contradicts SLoH...

Right to Faith Act

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: FoundingFathers

Description: The World Assembly,

Reconizing that forcing member nations to except same sex marriage is a violation of not just one but several major reconized religions globally;

In hopes to ensure that devout followers can exercise patriotism and Faith together without conflict;

Allowing member nations that recognize States Rights and allow each state that makes up a nation the right to vote on same sex marriage, and same sex partners can legally obtain what they desire within one of those States;

Ensuring that Faith bond nations can still provide civil rights and not violate their Faith;

To ensure that Civil Rights & Right to Faith can always coexist

No member nation shall be forced to allow same sex marriage where it is not excepted in that regional Faith.

I ask you all to support the Right to Faith Act.

Not seeing this as "Furtherment of Democracy", or significant.

Non religious education

A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.


Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Artistic

Proposed by: The USSRA

Description: Recognizing that in certain nations education is limited by religion or cost.
Defining primary education as education below 18 or that nations age of adulthood,with the exemption of skipping grades.
Creating a fund called the education fund, which will ensure primary education in all nations.
Saying that primary education in schools run by the government must be free of religious bias, and that it must be the most recent scientific fact.

Artistic? Nope.

----------

Structured Educational Systems

A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.


Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Educational

Proposed by: Aragosae

Description: This issue has been brought to attention by the University of The United Territories of Aragosae in which a study by scientists concentrating in anthropology has proven that the world in which we produce in, can improve terrifically by a more structured system of learning in school systems.

This more structured way includes the adopted "Learning Adjo" from the U.T.A.; which has been deemed highly successful. It describes itself as different levels by grades in which students must pass detailed classes and studies while induced with strong habits of learning from the age of 3. The latest age to graduate the Learning Ajdo is 25.

Adopting this system, or similar systems, for the world will improve not only the education of every citizen in the world but also the militaries, industries, and enviroments of any complied nations.

Branding, and utter bullshit.

Repeal "Freedom of the Press"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#155

Proposed by: Pdor

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #155: Freedom of the Press (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Free Press) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Believing that every human has the undeniable right to be informed about the facts of every nation, especially the one where he lives,
nevertheless noting a rampant spread of misinformation, both in the academic and in the media sector,
blaming for this degradation those who believe that they are journalists or experts just because they have some visibility on social media,
but despite their lack of knowledge they publish wrong information to a very large public,
denouncing a lobbying within some mainstream media, with wrong, distorted or even omitted informations for purely economic interests,
seeing an exponential increase in the phenomenon of defamation, with newspapers that, just to sell few copies , ruin the brilliant career of innocent people,
appreciating the effort of the resolution #155 to safeguard the security with restrictions on freedom of press,
however, noting that these measures are not sufficient to ensure safety to an excellent level,
hereby repeal the resolution #155.

Pretty much a giant pile of supposition and disinformation. While that in itself may not be technically illegal, it is not the best means to gather support.

Gun Control Tightement

A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.


Category: Gun Control


Decision: Tighten


Proposed by: New Larthinia

Description: Pointing out that, across the WA, there are many nations that give large freedom across weaponry to their civilians;

Realising that, even if the government gives gun control to the population for protecting itself, many citizens of the WA that buy guns use them for crimes;

Dismayed at the fact that such large freedom over guns is given to the population.

Furthermore proposes:

-That sniper rifles, automatic rifles and any other guns of heavy category are banned from the masses;

-That any type of lethal bullets are banned from the masses;

-That population only has control over tazers and non-lethal weapons to be able to protect themselves but not kill anybody else;

-That the population is disarmed as quickly and as efficient as possible.

WA Peacekeeping Act

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Raxacoricofallibatorius

Description: The purpose of this act is to create an international peacekeeping force made up of military personnel from WA member states.

Confirming - said peacekeeping force would be sent in to aid in humanitarian operations such as disaster relief and restoration of peace at the end of conflicts such as civil wars and wars between nations.

Reaffirming - in matters of conflicts peacekeeping force is NOT an invasion force and is only on the ground to maintain peaceful cooperation and transition at the end of such conflicts, not to interfere in internal issues of any nation state, but to protect WA officials, humanitarian workers and civilians.

Ensuring - peacekeeping force has very strict Rules of Engagement as follows:

1) The inherent right to self defence ie they may use force to defend
themselves when attacked.

2) The use of force to protect WA personnel, equipment, and
installations.

3) The use of force to ensure the security and free movement of WA
personnel and humanitarian workers.

4) The use of force to protect civilians from imminent threat of physicAl
violence in areas of deployment.

Banning Handguns

A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.

Speaking as a passholder at a theme park, I can say this is hilarious. Get attacked, pull out gun, position finger, wait a second or two, reposition finger, wait a second, light blinks, pull trigger... all the while getting mercilessly pummeled by some thug.

On that line of thinking, do you need to keep your finger on the sensor? Because that's going to screw up your grouping, which is important when you're shooting somebody. Really important.

Economic Equality in the WA

A resolution to develop industry around the world.


Category: Advancement of Industry

Area of Effect: Environmental Deregulation

Proposed by: South-Eastern Arctic States

Description: I would propose any fledgling nations willing to make changes to their economies but need support from high level economies to do so. Considering the fact that the South-Eastern Arctic States personally need help and are growing but still do need help, I'm assuming others do to. If the WA as a whole decides to approve this legislation, think of the benefits if you yourself need help or your allies; think of the benefits. I implore you, vote yes.

The Human Importance Act

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Duckswagtopia

Description: In this world there is conflict everywhere you go. Regardless of the size there is war. But caught in this war are innocent civilians. We must not disregard their safety and allow them to live in fear.

This act suggests that every nation sets up official, separate search and rescue teams on permanent duty. This allows in any war that there may be a promise of safety to the citizens, safety is a basic human right.

These rescue teams are not military, they will be civilians like those they are looking for. Although they are mainly volunteers they will require training to a high standard. Small amounts of government funds would be required diverted to this but for the safety of your people is any cost too high?

Even in times of peace this could be a huge assistance to find missing persons which although is in coordination with the police the civilian management remains.

This is what The Republic of Duckswagtopia proposes in hopes of a better future for all.
