Speaking as the author of GA#194, Treatment of Inmates, I don't see how this even comes close to duplicating or contradicting. I've looked everywhere around that document and can't see how it addresses solitary confinement. That being said - and speaking personally - I cannot in good faith support t...

Ultimately, if the delegation from Tinfect is so keen on forcing member states to permit embryonic stem cell research, why don't they simply do? It's very easy: Requires member states to permit stem cell research, even where such research necessitates the use and destruction of embryos belonging to...

I'm going to ask a question. Can contradictions in committee roles lead to illegalities? In Protection Of Biomedical Research , it specifies that: Expands the mandate of the Biomedical Innovation Organization of the World Health Authority to include: Coordination of international efforts at biomedic...

Category and strength? And anyone can claim citizenship of any nation they choose? I'm not quite understanding this. I also note that there is a resolution already on Reducing Statelessness.

How would this affect planets and sapient species where ozone plays a different role than on Earth?

I'm concerned that given the broad range of possible religious rites that I've seen across the multiverse, 4a would lead to a very broad blocker on almost anything, or effectively grant a religious exemption on most activities. I am against.

Vehemently against. I don't get what is so deserving of a condemnation here, like the other posters. A one-on-one spat is not appropriate for WA action

Also, clause B violates rule 4(d) ("below is the post I am referencing")

Are typewriters still widely used in your nation? Yes, in prison where inmates are not allowed access to computers. What kind are they (manual, electric, electronic)? Electronic. It is really crippled computers where all they can do is save documents to a 5 1/4" floppy and print the document u...

We don't believe this is an international issue.
Prof. Jane Crick
Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy to the Lion in Council

Honestly, if not for the fact that it would compel nations to recognize patents even if they do not have domestic patents, I'd be supportive. I am also not in agreement with the rigid time length. I would prefer to see something where foreign patents are protected similarly to domestic patents.

Absolutely not. This is a ridiculous, unnecessary encroachment of national sovereignty and a major security risk.

Repeal "Ban on Slavery and Trafficking" A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation. Category: Repeal Resolution: GA#23 Proposed by: Luxemcuba Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #23: Ban on Slavery and Trafficking (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struc...

No operative clause either. It says we should repeal, but it doesn't.

I'm not convinced that this is something that needs to be legislated on an international level.

I believe this is illegal because as it stands the resolution would not take immediate effect. Also, this means, by looking at the text itself, that unlicensed lenders will, if they exist whenever, be arrested 1.5 months after passage regardless of when they actually operate or have operated. I also...

1) I'm not convinced this would increase personal freedoms of those in member nations. 2) The only non-committee operative clause doesn't seem to make sense. 2)That non-citizens can take out loans but must remain in the country, unless the country that they go to will not be responsible for collecti...
