This is not the thread to be debating whether some one is or isn't a member of a particular region. that being said, If you look at when the proposal was submitted versus when the author was removed from said region; you'll notice that he was in The North Pacific when this proposal was submitted.

He did so to acquire sufficient Endorsements for submission, as he was only able to gather single one from his region of origin.
Don't try to pretend that this is not a WACP proposal.

But, yes, this is off-topic.

That is because the WACP is a dishonorable institution of ambassadors unconcerned with WA law or even basic reality. Now stop threadjacking.

Limits on Campaign Donations

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Valyrian Freeholds

Description: Emboldened by the fact that many nations have turned or are turning towards democracy, and

Strengthened by the amount of elections within these democratic nations that are held in a free and honest way, but

Alarmed by the abilities currently possessed by private organisations, such as corporations, to influence elections by the power of money.

This resolution, enacted by the World Assembly (Subject to any restrictions posed by previous and still in effect resolutions):

1. Defines:

a). A Donation as: "An amount of money or item given by a person(s) or organisation to another person(s) or organisation with no intent of receiving anything in return".

b). A Political Donation as: "An amount of money given by a person(s) or organisation given to a Political Campaign with the intent of helping said Political Campaign achieve its goals.

2. Recognises:

a). The rights of private citizens to make Political Donations based on personal opinion.

b). The rights of private companies and organisations to make Political Donations based on the collective opinion of their governing boards and/or the collective opinion of their shareholders.

c). That due to the amount of wealth collectively owned by private companies and organisations, they can strengthen more Political Campaigns by the use of Political Donations.

d). That Political Donations may be used by both organisations and private citizens as a bargaining chip in exchange for changes in policy of Political Campaigns.

3. Requires:

a). That Political Campaigns may only take donations that equal up to 8% of their current funds.

b). That private citizens and organisations may only make donations up to 3 times for the duration of the campaign.

c). That as soon as a political campaign begins, all Political Action Committees (PACs) that are intending to donate to said campaign, are registered. After all PACs are registered no more PACs may be created.

d). That the Political Campaigns, PACs and Private Citizens who have donated give all record of their donations to their nations who in turn publish them for the world to see.

4. Encourages, all democratic nations to continue to closely monitor their elections and make sure they are being held in a free, honest and fair way.


Well, this is a fine Catch-22;
"3a). That Political Campaigns may only take donations that equal up to 8% of their current funds."
When a campaign starts, they have 0 funds, so 8% of Nothing is Nothing.

The remainder is naive and simplistic jibber-jabber.

Category: Environmental

Extra Funding For Education

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


Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Educational

Proposed by: Copetopia

Description: The purpose of this proposal is to urge all members of the World Assembly to take a hard look at their Educational programs. An influx of fresh funds to your Educational Program's can only have a positive effect.

A higher quality education system will mean more educated citizens who are capable of handling bigger work loads.

An educated populace can take Scientific, Military and Auto Industries to a whole new level. Imagine the things you could do with an advanced Scientific program?

The more brilliant minds, the better. While putting extra money into Education now is a cost, the long-term payoff is worth it.

In districts that substantially increased their educational spending, low-income children were significantly more likely to graduate from high school, earn livable wages, and avoid poverty in adulthood.

Isn't that better for any Economy? Poverty is present in any nation. Educating the people can only have a positive result in that area.

In conclusion, putting more money into Education will help you raise your poverty line, create more jobs, see new and bright inventions become commonplace and every industry will benefit both monetarily and technically.

Even the poorest nations can invest in this idea. Even a minimal influx into the program can have terrific results. Once you have an educated populace, you can put those minds to use in building up your economy.

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." -Nelson Mandela

Nations Have Power

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Vandtretta

Description: Viewing With Appreciation the immense strides in human rights, and international peace that has been a result of the strong verbiage of many proposals that have been passed by this body.

Reaffirming that the World Assembly should maintain a dominant legal status throughout all member states. However;

Deeply disturbed that the World Assembly oversteps boundaries, and undermines the authority of member states in appropriate respects and circumstances.

Taking into consideration that although many resolutions are vital to maintaining peace, and international stability; they obstruct individual member states from passing legislation that best fits their circumstances.

Regretting the passing of General Assembly Resolution #346, as this piece of legislation molests the inherent rights of individual nation states from enforcing legislation that is appropriate for said member's needs, and requirements.

Disturbed that many World Assembly Members, and Delegates state that it was the national interest of the respective nation to apply for membership in the World Assembly.

Reminding the World Assembly that most regions require membership to the World Assembly prior to accepting citizenship.

Also reminding the World Assembly that nations should not be enjoined by the agendas of other countries to submit to their own beliefs, when it does not relate to the strengthening of human rights, civil liberties, or political freedom.

This October, of the year 2015, the General Assembly of the World Assembly hereby enacts the following piece of legislation.

1. Condemns nations who submit partisan proposals, and force upon other nations their own political agenda.

2. Calls upon member states to halt in their exercises of submitting proposals that will warrant for the legislation of policies that do not correspond or ally with enduring human rights, civil liberties, and political freedom.

3. Authorizes the condemnation of member states who fail to abide by this piece of legislation.

Metagaming (regions), calling for SC action

-------

Stability and Information Act

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


Category: Political Stability

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Glorios empire of the sun

Description: Description:

Noting the extreme duress some nations are foregoing because of armed conflicts or political and economic instability.

Condemning NGOs for directly attacking the sovereignty of states under duress.

Worried by the increasingly unstable global environment.

Calling on all states to favor political and social stability over access to information in order to prevent escalation.

The World Assembly formally calls on all nations to:

1. Prioritize the well being of their people and governments by restricting access to information deemed harmful

2. Ban all defamation of the state during times of armed conflict or economic and political instability.

3. Support neighboring states in their pursuit of political stability.

4. Avoid the manipulation of information in order to de-stabilize other nations.

5. Take measures to discourage all actions by fear mongers against the stability of the state during armed conflict or economic and political instability.

We are here to bear testimony that in a world of wars, oppression, and genocide, there are people who try their best and fight for what they believe in. I know how valuable your time is, so I'll keep this short.

I have submitted a proposal, entitled "Free Movement Agreement" that will (in essence) promote tourism, boost international economies, create a diverse, unique culture, and foster a philosophy of acceptance throughout World Assembly member states. This proposal will bring us one step closer (but still far away) from a utopia. I am messaging you, the representatives of the World Assembly community, to convince you why you should support the proposal. Below you will find the benefits of this deal which I have arranged into 5 main points.

1. Promotes tourism which will support your economy by providing extra income.
2. Creates a diverse, understanding culture through exploring new things.
3. Signifies unity amongst World Assembly member states by allowing (mostly) free travel.
4. Enables member states to cooperate and collaborate with one another.
5. Creates a more universal and extremely secure passport design amongst member states by implementing biometric applications.

Misconceptions about this Proposal are:

1. that it is forced down the throats of member states, however this proposal recognizes the right of a country to defend it's territorial integrity and therefore choose not to participate in this program.

2. that criminals will enter your borders, however this proposal creates the International Criminal Police Organization which collaborates with all countries to keep them safe (for more information, read 4.E)

I thank you for your time reading this and hope you will approve this proposal. If you still have any doubts about this proposal, do not hesitate to respond to this telegram and I will try to clear up any misconceptions or answer any questions that you may have.

Signed,

Regional Delegate of Europe Oriental
The Republic of Tasmodin

GM Food Grading Agency

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


Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: Agriculture

Proposed by: Odd Republic

Description: CONCERNED that many foods contain Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMOs, which may compromise quality in the name of quantity, reducing nutritional benefits, along with potentially contaminating the environment.

FURTHER CONCERNED that the privatization of GMOs by patent can harm small business, however

AWARE that GMOs can improve nutritional benefits and also improve defensive mechanisms, so

CREATING an international GMO food testing body to be known as the Genetically Modified Food Grading Agency (GM Food Grading Agency) which must:

I: Assess the health of each new genetically modified food to assure that it is as least as nutritious as the plant(s) it is based off of
II: Ensure that the organism will not have dire long-term effects, such as uprooting the ecosystem as a weed would, and spreading its traits elsewhere

III: Ban GMO foods not in compliance from use as food staples

IV: Label all passed GMO foods

V: Remove patents on these foods after 1 (one) year

REITERATING that this program is intended to increase international wellbeing of people and the environment, and that it applies to genetically modified foods only.

GMO FOOD shall be defined as any organism with an unnaturally modified genome intended for mass consumption by a human or otherwise.

THIS PROGRAM SHALL be funded by the WA General Fund, created in GA#17, and entities utilizing GMO foods. While they do not utilize such, no tax will be enforced upon those entities. Separate donations will be accepted as well.

Might qualify for House of Cards, may contradict "Food and Drug Standards", may contradict "Stopping Suicide Seeds".

Also fails to take into account that not everybody shares their pathelogical fear of, and subsequent demands which border on religious fervor, genetically modified materials.

Also not from the WA's perspective, but that's probably obvious :P
COMMUNIST
"If we have food, he will eat. If we have air, he will breathe. If we have fuel, he will fly." - Becky Chambers, Record of a Spaceborn Few
"One does not need to be surprised then, when 26 years later the outrageous slogan is repeated, which we Marxists burned all bridges with: to “pick up” the banner of the bourgeoisie. - International Communist Party, Dialogue with Stalin.

ML, anarchism, co-operativism (known incorrectly as "Market Socialism"), Proudhonism, radical liberalism, utopianism, social democracy, national capitalism, Maoism, etc. are not communist tendencies. Read a book already.

I filed a GHR under #76 as well - not only for duplication but for contradiction too, since they set different standards.

Filed it only given seeing it is on the verge of quoruming due to the RubbaStamp.
Represented permanently at the World Assembly by Benjamin Olafsen, and on an ad-hoc basis by Alethea Norrland and rarely Gaia Pao and Gabriel Dzichpol.
OOCly retired from the GA/SC for something called 'real life'.
Author of GA#288 and SC#148.
