Maintaining Sovereignty Act
A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.


Category: Political Stability | Strength: Significant | Proposed by: Liberalaria

Description: Article I-To protect all nations from discrepency
1. When the World Assembly gets involved in a conflict, all nations shall be able to opt out.
2. Nations shall be informed on such security proposals with full information before voting on involvement.
3. The World Assembly is reminded the goal should be peace keeping.
4. The World Assembly should be reminded it cannot take down the sovereign government of a nation no matter how oppressive it may be. It is up to the citizens, not the world.

What... what... what the heck? Does this do anything other than say "NatSov over all"?

It reads to me like they're trying to put controls on WA military actions, which is impossible since there are no WA military actions.

All qualms or perceived abuses from one nation-state toward another or toward the citizens of the alleged abusive nation-state will be addressed by the Security Council to determine whether or not action will be taken.

All legislation hereby passed by in the General Assembly will establish monitoring authority only and sovereign Nation-States will comply if the legislation falls within their national interests RECOGNIZING that the choice to ignore the General Assembly resolution could result in condemnation from the Security Council and any all sanctions that come with the condemnation.

This legislation will take effect immediately to protect the sovereignty of all nation-states that participate in the WA

Repeal "Promotion of Bee-keeping"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#224

Proposed by: Venaleria

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #224: Promotion of Bee-keeping (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Section 1

1.) Regarding: Nations and regions have the right to their own rules and regulations

2.) In Recognition That: Many nations and regions do not have a need for a legalization of this effect

3.) Keeping in Mind: It is the nations who are allowed to decide their own terms in many situations including this example

i. Knowing that bees are beneficial in some ways, nations should still be able to legalize this act whenever they feel needed but it should not be forced

Section 2

I bring to the WA's attention this issue for should it really be forced upon nations to legalize the keeping of bees? After all, the issue does seem to be to a certain effect, frivolous and some would go as far as to say it is unnecessary to legalize the keeping of bees. If a new act needs to be made in order to modify the wishes of this nation, so be it.

Section 3

If nations have the right to legalize laws, make a currency, and develop a national flag, shouldn't they have the right to abolish beekeeping acts as well?

Thank you

Sincerely,

The Commenwealth of Venaleria

Sector 4.02, District 2

Radiological Proliferiatia Act
A resolution to develop industry around the world.

Category: Advancement of Industry | Area of Effect: Environmental Deregulation | Proposed by: Hydronium

Description: STATES that not all radiation is bad and that there are many uses for radiation that can help people (like radiation therapy, Americium for smoke detectors, etc.).

UNDERSTANDS that some forms of radiation and radiation technology can hurt people. (like Cobalt 60, Uranium 235, and nuclear and radiological bombs, etc.).

THEREFORE brings into action the statements below,

URGES other nations to supply radiological therapy to citizens with cancer or other disease that would respond beneficially, to the person receiving the treatment.

DENIES nations that have a reckless nature from any radioactive substances in fear that the substances would be weaponized.

PUTS INTO EFFECT new regulations for any nation wishing to buy radioactive substances, including the following:

i) A nation should have it's background checked before being able to supply itself or it's citizens radioactive substances.

ii) No fission of fusion weapon may be manufactured that is over 15 megatons, under any circumstances, ever.

iii) No radioactive substances may be sold to convicts of crimes of a violent nature.

CANCELS any tariffs on radioactive substances that would cost the buyer over 10% of the total base cost of the substance itself, excluding posting, shipping, handling, taxes, etc.

PROMOTES the building of particle accelerators to create radioactive elements like Neptunium, Americium, Berkelium, etc.

BANS the sale of Uranium 235 and dangerous forms of Plutonium (except for Plutonium pacemakers) to civilians.

IF EVER an element with a superheavy (over 118) atomic number is produced, it must be reported to ALL WA members IMMEDIATELY.

HEREBY ESTABLISHES THE RADIOLOGICAL PROLIFERATIA ACT

Canceling tariffs... I swear this violates something.

Eco-fuel
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.


Category: Environmental | Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing | Proposed by: Sacrum Lucis Imperium

Description: REALIZING the importance that the fuel has in the contemporary age

BEING CONSCIOUS of the actual e future problems that the use of the fossil-fuel entails

IT IS IMPORTANT to solve this situation introducing or promoting the use of a new kind of fuel produced by bio-mass (particular type of vegetables and grass).

This also involves an increase in the agricultural and industrial employment; so it can be considered a benefit for the whole community.

Does this do anything?

Okay, I have a thought about this one. It's illegal because of the last mandate:
IF EVER an element with a superheavy (over 118) atomic number is produced, it must be reported to ALL WA members IMMEDIATELY.

Duplicates Cooperation in Science and operates outside the boundaries of what this category can do.

Actually, Contradiction of Cooperation in Science would work too since clause 1 of Cooperation in Science clearly allows for nations to keep scientific discoveries a secret.

Upon further reflection, I'm thinking it's also just plain the wrong category too (and I have no clue what the right one would be).

WA Bureau of World Anomalies
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.


Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: All Businesses

Proposed by: Castle Federation

Description: Purpose: This document hereby establishes the World Assembly Bureau of World Anomalies.

Reasonings: The Bureau is established to investigate any oddity or unexplainable act. Any accident that is unexplained will come before the Bureau to go through investigation. By any means resources of scientific means may be used. The core purpose is investigating unnatural or suspicious happenings. It also contributes to WA intelligence. The Bureau is non-secular. Religious truths that explain such anomalies are to be observed and accepted.

Establishment: The WA Bureau of World Anamolies with previsions above is established through this document.


Let's apply this act to a theoretical woman named "Lisa". Lisa wakes up and decides to eat Cheerios instead of Lucky Charms. She refuses to explain this act, therefore making it an unexplained act. Therefore, this would be sent to the WA Bureau of World Anomalies.
Political compass:
Economic Left/Right: 1.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.62

‎"If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?"

Repeal "Prevention of Torture"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation


Category: Repeal


Resolution: GA#9


Proposed by: German-Spanish Empire

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #9: Prevention of Torture (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: RECOGNIZING that if a country is in danger of being compromised they shall have the right to torture
NOTING that torture has been apart of some nations and/or states nation religion (Christianity etc.)
REALIZING that torture is one a primary act of winning ward

I hereby declare:
1.All nations have the right to torture
2.Victims of torture (non-government or military) have the right to compensation
3.That government torture shall be deemed legal

Approvals: 1 (German-Spanish Empire)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 74 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 3 days 9 hours

This is silly.

All nations have a right to torture (nay, torture SHALL BE DEEMED LEGAL) but the "victims" of that legal, righteous torture have a right to compensation?

That and you can't legislate in a repeal.

Education in Development
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.


Category: Environmental | Industry Affected: Automobile Manufacturing | Proposed by: Ruldoisia

Description: The World Assembly,

Aware that education and sustainable development go hand in hand;

Taking into consideration environmental education represents a relevant means of prevention because this type of education encourages learner's awareness of their environment's ambient conditions, as well as their active participation in solving local problems;

Alarmed by rising levels of global warming, ozone layer depletion, greenhouse effects, raise in sea water level, improper monsoon and acid rain.

Convinced that the current system for dealing with the environment while at the same time development being sustainable is erroneous, ineffective, and unreliable;

Thereby;

Urges nations to help each other by providing resources , financial and professional aid to promote education and to make the local communities and people living in rural areas aware of the importance of education in sustainable development and environmental protection;

Authorizes an independent WA enquiry team to be given the task of submitting an annual report stating the improvements made by the member countries with respect to educational level, sustainable development and the environment keeping in mind factors such as deforestation, status of renewable resources, literacy level and gross school attendance

Emphasizes the need for international cooperation, on the part of all countries, and give WA full power to decide on and enforce sanctions on any countries unwilling to cooperate, which includes not complying with the set deadline;

Urges the concerned governments of member countries to shift its focus from strategy developments to implementation , support development/implementation of specific policy instruments and policy package to promote Education for Sustainable Development ( ESD ) practises that have been identified as critical in achieving the sustainable development goals;

Considers that an indicator is needed for comparing the relative progress made by different countries towards sustainable development at a given time or for measuring progress made by a given country or region over time as various processes of education – which lie at the heart of promoting changes in behaviour – on a global level will help turn things around and enhance its progress;

Requests that the new revised curricula for education in the member nations should include the following :

1) Encompass the curricula to include environmental science as a major subject in their school curriculum;

2) The methods of science and technology to deal with pollution already produced and with pollution prevention and reduction by incorporating the know –how and skills and also the moral imperatives and to bring about the change of attitude in education by moral and ethical philosophy where in the young minds it is essential to reinforce the environment respecting moral values;

3) Apart from the introduction of environmental science as a major subject , it should include hands-on activities and projects to arouse the interest , awareness and enthusiasm among students in green issues;

Expresses its hope by enhancing the interactions between researchers , teachers , NGOs and others in the field of ESD in order to strengthen knowledge sharing , enhance curriculum development and promote more valid and reliable ways of evaluating ESD and actively participating in international joint research on mechanisms and indicators monitoring and evaluation of ESD performances;

Wrong category for one. Duplication of a few Educational and Creativity resolutions - A Promotion of Basic Education, probably the Cooperation of Science Act, and I think for sure Access to Science in Schools - is another.

Act of statute law
A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.

Category: Political Stability
Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Land of Punk

Description: All nations and regions must abide by statute law.

Statute law states that while the head of the governing body remains the monarch, more power shall be granted to parliament.

This act shall entail that power be given to smaller regions as opposed to the current level of capitalism employed by this once great game of national sovreignity.

Furthermore, i propose a toast to the great ghengis khan. Long live the king


Metagaming, bloody stupid and ..... a shout out to Ghengis Khan????
