Repeal "On Multilateral Trade Talks"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#221

Proposed by: Assleland

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #221: On Multilateral Trade Talks (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: There should only be meetings held whenever a nation is found cheating while trading. These meetings should need only a certain amount of delegates at the meeting, and the offending nation.

Is this trying to amend a resolution?

Universal Health Act
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Austiana

Description: Description: Universal Health Act is to be put into place in all WA Member Nations. All nations will have a compulsory, public health system.
Argument:
ACKNOWLEDGING that Private Health in many nations is expensive and corrupt.

RECOGNIZING that a government funded Public Health system will aid the poor, and put an end to deaths related to denied access to Private Health funding and service

ADOPT the following resolution:
Act 1 (Object)
(a) This resolution will make Universal, Public Health compulsory in ALL WA Member nations.
(b) The government will pay for all public health equipment, hospitals, operations and staff
(c) Public hospitals must have the ability to serve a minimum of 15% of the population, and abide by GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION #29 "Patient's Rights Act" and GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION #31 "World Health Authority".

Article 2 (Definitions)
(a) PUBLIC HEALTH is a free health system, supplied by the government, available to the public.
(b) PRIVATE HEALTH is a health system supplied by Private Corporations, that are only available to those that pay.

NOTING that nations that currently have a Public Health system (that has the ability to serve a minimum of 15% of the population), this Universal Health Act is irrelevant.

ALSO NOTING that a slight government taxation increase will cover the costs of a Universal Public Health System.

House of Cards.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL
ID: koponia_1352877899

An End To Compulsory Voting
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Koponia

Description: RECOGNISING that the right to vote is an inalienable right that should not be denied to all human beings.

ALSO RECOGNISING the right of the people to have a choice whether to exercise their vote.

DISTURBED by the contradiction of compulsory voting laws bring about by denying the right to choose not to vote.

REALISING that the rationale of compulsory voting laws, voter apathy, could be dealt with through other measures.

BELIEVING that a vote that is not out of free will but due to legislative deterrents would not be a true reflection of the people's will.

HEREBY PROPOSES

1. A recommendation to all WA member nations to repeal compulsory voting laws and its accompanying deterrents which would be inclusive of the following but not limited to:

a) Fines

b) Prison Sentence

2. Should existing political structures and institutions not allow this course of action, the member nation is encouraged to implement measures that would work towards a course of action to prevent forced participation in the democratic process.

3. Recommends all WA member nations to devote more resources into the education of the electorate about the importance of voting to counter the inevitable fall in voter turnout with the abolishment of the compulsory voting laws.

4. Encouraging that all WA member nations already seeing low voter turnout rates to use non punitive measures to rectify and correct this trend should it be desired.

5. Proposes a relaxation of voting restrictions currently in place to further encourage an increase in voter turnout rates.

6. Recommends that safeguards be put in place to prevent incentives to get people to vote would not undermine the integrity of the institutions of democracy. Examples of such incentives would be monetary incentives, which could be seen as vote buying and hence subverting the democratic process.

7. Encourages legislative action to further cement the right of the people the freedom of choice in wanting to exercise their vote.

8. Pledges to be actively seized on the matter.

Approvals: 1 (Towson)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 71 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 3 days 9 hours


Mandates nothing and requires nations to do NOTHING. Seems like more of a committee that anything.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL
ID: albeland_1352983032

Minority Language Recognition
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Albeland

Description: DEFINING a language as a spoken tongue based on the following grounds:

-It differs from other languages on at least one of the following principles: pronunciation, lexicon, grammar and syntax.
-It is spoken by a community of people, not just a set of individuals.

SEEING that many nations have more than one language.

ACCEPTING that many nations recognise all of their languages as official.

REALISING that many nations do not allow for certain languages to be taught and do not accept the existence of another dialect.

BELIEVING that all nations should accept each individual language as an official one.

Hereby,

DECLARES that all nations accept their minority languages as official languages.

ENCOURAGES all national minority languages to be an option in schools.

REQUIRES that a nation protects its minority languages from racial and nationalistic remarks.
Approvals: 3 (Rice Lee, Burlington-Sverige, Kingsley Bedford)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 69 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 3 days 1 hour


Checked GA for a thread hoping that this proposal had one, but it doesn't. I don't think it's technically illegal, but it is silly in some aspects (like censoring racial/nationalistic remarks and declaring all minority languages as 'official' languages). Too bad they didn't post a draft (unless I missed it). I woulda dusted off my GA skills for this one :(

World Assembly Culinary Fair
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade
Strength: Mild

Proposed by: New Chesterfield

Description: Recognizes how influential food is to culture and trade.

Realizes the educational and economic advantages to nations sharing their native foods with other nations.

Noting the potential to strengthen diplomatic ties between WA States using food as a means of bringing people together.

Proposing the idea that the foods of a foreign land may appeal to the pallet of another and would create a demand for that food in that land, therefore setting the foundation for trade.

Requesting that upon passage of this resolution, a World Culinary Fair would be established. The location of the fair would be selected like so. Nations participating in the fair would elect a country to host it in. Once a nation is selected, a major city will be chosen. After a location has been selected, each nation will choose chefs from their lands hand have them cook in the fair.

With all things considered, the resolution for the World Assembly Culinary Fair his hereby created.


I'm wondering how this is free trade? It also sounds like it may be trying to mandate RP.

Industry Pay for Military
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security
Strength: Significant

Proposed by: 40308018

World Drug War
A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.

Category: Recreational Drug Use | Decision: Outlaw | Proposed by: Republocrat

Description: WORLD DRUG WAR I JUSTICE FOR OVERDOSE VICTOMS

OUTLAW DRUG DEALERS SELLING ILLEGAL HARD DRUGS WITH HARSHER PUNISHMENT.

THIS proposal impacts the basic fabric of society,law,and order,justice, and the freedom to live in a justful world. A WORLD WITHOUT having a drug dealers house inviting crime on your street.....our streets that we. Use to raise our families. My mother passed away from a prescription pill overdose so here's my proposal to get these homes infested with scum out of our neighborhoods therefore creating a huge dent in the illegal drug network.

1. In the event someone overdoses on any hard drug crack,heroic,pills, LSD, steroids, and shrooms. The police will launch an investigation on where these substances were aquired.

2. THE police will gather evidence and raid suspected drug homes and confiscate their stash. Arresting them in the process.

3. The drug dealers in question shall be interpolated and put to a polygraph to gather evidence for a case including.

4. Such evidence can and may include a confession, polygraph result, evidence from home gathered during raid, eye witness testimony, drugs confiscated.

5. Police shall canvass and imterview the street the drug home was located to gather witnesses to testify. Interviewing Ewing include friends,family,neighbors of both drug dealer, and overdose victim.

6.IN the case sufficient evidence has been gathered the dealer in question will be charged with involuntary man salughter plus charges of any other kind based on the nation in question laws on drugs. POSSESSION charge,intent to sell/distribute,liscening charges etc.

6. Prescribed drugs from medical doctors or an individual I'n the medical field is exempt from this law.However dealers illegal selling prescribed drugs are not and may be harshly prosecuted for selling prescribed drugs.

7.Only overdoses caused by the illegal activity of drug dealers shall be punishes.

8. The minimal punishment for offenders depending on the circumstance, and combine d charges will be 5 to 15 years in prison.

9. This crime cannot be nullified by an insanity plea only a reduced sentence of 2 to 3 years.

10. Parole will not be available to mild offenders for 5 years.

11. This law exempts marijuana due to the basis marijuana is not a hard drug.

12. This law exempts over the counter drugs considering they can be aquired by anyone, and does not include a medical doctors prescription.

13. THIS law includes all hard drugs listed below.

1.Cocaine

2. Heroin

3. Crack

4. Meth

5. Prescription pills

6. Lsd

7.Shrooms

IF this law is passed we are finally one step closer to ending the war on drugs with proper punishment by providing justice to true victims and families of victims who are truly taken advantage of by people who do not care if they live or die. Pass this forth world, for justice, and for what is right, and wrong. ALSO each nation in the world assembly shall dedicate 0.5% of their budget for a world wide drug prevention agency designed to setup rehab clinics, prisons, and drug prevention programs. 20% Of this agencies budget shall go toward drug prevention counseling in school districts in multiple nations in the hardest hit areas to educate the youth making drug prevention part of health class, and overall education aspell.

Bad spelling, bad grammar, and it attempts to outlaw prescription medication (which is bloody stupid and I think either duplicates or contradicts GAR #124).

Actually, I find it unusual that the proposal explicitly exempts over the counter medication from this act, since people can and do abuse over the counter medications all the time in the real world... and people OD on prescription medications not only to get high but to commit suicide...
Edit: grammar fix and additional commentary.

1. Encourage people if they are told they can't vote then tell government official/officials.

If this one didn't have an Optionality problem, it'd be an Idealogical Ban.

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

Category: Education and Creativity
Area of Effect: Artistic

Proposed by: Phoenix Coalition

Description: World Creativity Movement is a movement to promote CREATIVITY of all FORMS.

This PROPOSAL hereby ENCOURAGES member nations to promote creativity throughout their nation.

This PROPOSAL hereby RECOMMENDS member nations to create and carry out competition of creativity of all forms. Be it nationally or in the world (*NOTE: A other proposal may be made to to found a special day for this world competition)

This PROPOSAL hereby CONDEMNS any member nations where creativity is banned in ANY FORM.
--NO actions will be taken against a nation unless their people demands it.


A few observations:
1. A bit of a blanket proposal. What constitutes "creativity"? Is blowing up government buildings "creative" if done in a new and unique way?
