legislating within a repeal.Repeal "World Assembly Trade Rights"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#209
Proposed by: Liberosia
Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #209: World Assembly Trade Rights (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: Regretting that the WA has passed a resolution restricting the individual sovereignty of all WA member NationStates.
Emphasizing that every NationState has the right and authority to regulate its own trade with other NationStates.
Realizing that trade barriers are implemented by the several WA member NationStates for specific reasons to preserve the security and freedom of its own people.
Recognizing that without these well thought out restrictions, the world economy could witness instability and insecurity.
Believing that all NationStates should have the freedom to make their own laws regarding trade. That the involvement of the WA in these matters is a threat to all NationStates' individual sovereignty.
The General Assembly, hereby repeals all legislation involved in Resolution #209 (World Assembly Trade Rights), including all of the following:
1. Grants the following rights to each member nation:
a. the right, for a good or service originating from said nation, to receive the most favourable trade preference from any other member nation that said other nation grants to any other member nation for the same type of good or service,
b. the right, for a good or service originating from said nation, to have applied the same taxes or regulations by any other member nation that said other nation applies to the same type of good or service of domestic origin, at least once the good or service has legally entered that nation,
c. the right to create or maintain existing free trade areas or customs unions, so long as such areas or unions ultimately lower trade barriers between their members, not raise trade barriers for non-members;
2. Clarifies that member nations may suspend their individual responsibilities under the above provision in the following cases:
a. in the event of a significant disparity in labour, environmental or human rights standards, or to ensure reasonable quality control on goods and services, but only if such a suspension does not constitute discrimination between goods and services from different member nations with similar issues,
b. to apply domestic subsidies, or to protect domestic industries against a discriminatory subsidy applied by another member nation, so long as any retaliation in the latter case is directly proportional to the original subsidy,
c. to protect vital national security interests during serious international disputes or times of war, or
d. to develop any other additional reasonable and appropriate trade regulations that are consistent with the goals of this resolution, as well as the interests of sustainable development and poverty reduction, either unilaterally through domestic legislation or collectively through World Assembly resolution.

Illegal, only argument is NatSov based.Repeal "World Assembly Trade Rights"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#209
Proposed by: United Marxist Nations
Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #209: World Assembly Trade Rights (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Argument: Seeing: That WA Resolution #209 can severely impact socialist and developing countries economies in a negative way.
Believing: That the WA cannot enforce economic systems on nations without their consent.
Noting: That Resolution #209 also hinders the rights of unions and other workers' groups.
Recognizing: That the resolution forces all member nations to provide the same trade preference to all other member nations.
Feeling: That the regulation mentioned above could hurt the economies with more expensive labor due to cheaper foreign products being readily available.
Because of the aforementioned reasons, the World Assembly repeals General Assembly Resolution #209.

3. DRAWS ATTENTION TO the requirement of an International Gold Standard for all commodity based economies in the interest of free-trade in order of protection from inflation and market manipulation;

WAC Creation
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.
Category: International Security
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Clystia
Description: WAC: WAC stands for World Assembly Corps. The WAC will be supported by the WA and made up of voluntary members. The job of WAC is to stop bullying by staging coups in hostile territories and bring peace to the regions. This means that the WA will now have a neutral army, not only to use against bullies, but also if needed against anti-WA nations. You never know what happens in the forums....
Pros- WAC will stop bullying and give the WA more power in world affairs. WAC can be repealed at any time if abusively used.
Cons- WAC membership and discussion will need to be used in the global forums and dirty deals may happen. If needed, a WA delegate can be appointed to monitor the forums occasionally.
Overview- Though there may be some controversy over this policy, it would be fair to give it a try. It will add some spice to the world. If it fails and is used abusively, it can be repealed.

Massive and blatant violation of the rule against the WA having any kind of Army, Police, SWAT, etc. Not to mention violations of having WA delegates actually involved in the process, the fact it is pretty awkwardly worded and feels a bit bloggy; though they're pretty minor offences compared to the big one.

I was actually going to mention the "forums" thing myself but I know people have hand-waved it previously as meaning "international community meetings for discussion" as opposed to an actual message board since you can kinda define it that way.
Suffice to say its all just the icing on the cake, heh. Literally the first sub-bullet point in the GA rules compendium is titled "Army, Police, SWAT, etc", and in bold too. Methinks the author didn't read the rules at all before submission.
