I'm working on a TG campaign right now, but I'm hoping to go through and explain how/why each of the examples given is justified by the text in the next day or so, as RL allows ...

Repeal "Nuclear Arms Possession Act"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation


Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#10
Proposed by: Seomis

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #10: Nuclear Arms Possession Act (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Well that's interesting but i must defend that every country as the right to possess nuclear weapons or use nuclear energy.

However my point is:

1) If a country decides to have nuclear weapons he can have them

2) WA can't have the monopoly of the use of nuclear weapons to defend himself. Every country possess the right even if is a dictatorship

3) Liberalize the trade on nuclear weapons if you desire

4) If some nuclear weapons are stolen is the duty of the nation to bombard the bastards that stole them


*sigh* Has anybody been keeping track of how many times NAPA has tried to be repealed? And what percentage of those repeals are complete bollocks?

Repeal Clean Water Act
A resolution to develop industry around the world.


Category: Advancement of Industry
Area of Effect: Environmental Deregulation
Proposed by: Kesheru

Description: Repeal "Clean Water Act"
Advancement of Industry
Significant

The purpose of this repeal is to deregulate the methods of water usage in industry and military endeavours and grant more freedom to corporations and governments subject to the WA resolution "Clean Water Act". This will allow for the strengthening of the economies of nations that suffer under the current act's cruel restriction of economic growth and military conquest.

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=62432

THIS ACT RECOGNIZES THAT CURRENTLY:

- That WA Member Nations are not currently given full access to water and water ways as a dumping ground for industrial byproducts and other waste.

- That many companies must pay costly taxes, face lawsuits, or be forced to shut down for dumping in readily available dumping grounds areas.

- That contamination of water supplies is not allowed to be used as a military tactic or waste disposal method.

The World Assembly hereby repeals the "Clean Water Act" too:

1) Allow the possible contamination of any and all water supplies that to serve purposes military or corporate goals.

2) The International Bureau of Water Safety (IBWS) shall be abolished and all research and collected information shall be deleted.

3) WA Member Nations shall be free to choose their own methods of water production, purification, and conservation on their own terms.

4) All WA Member Nations will be free to choose to provide at a minimal amount of potable water to all their citizens.

What shall remain in effect from the repealed "Clean Water Act"

Each WA Member Nation will shall still determine its methods of production and distribution of potable water. Processes and chemicals used in the purification processes, and the importance of water to the survival of citizens.

WA Member Nations still be encouraged to educate their citizens on water conservation and the importance of water to both them and the success of their respective nations.

somebody needs to let them know that just because you put "repeal" in the title, if you don't use the repeal function, it ain't a repeal, or that you can't legislate in a repeal.

Yep! Looks like it. Also, this is the same guy that submitted the proposal "YOUTH JUSTICE ACT" which as well as being badly worded and ridiculously difficult to understand, didn't actually do anything whatsoever. That one got mod-ed, so I have a pretty good idea they'll eject him from the WA for this one.

It is unfair to restrict the use of water for the sake of the economy in tough times as a dumping ground, and to prohibit its use as a weapon in the heat of war. This act is unjust to nations who wish to grow and to defend themselves.

I think what he's trying to say is that people should be allowed to poison or foul each others water supplies in times of war as a military strategy.

Space Colonization Act

Category: Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Norbruma

Description: RECOGNIZING that technology has advanced to a very high degree, being advanced enough to make space exploration possible,

ALSO RECOGNIZING that space colonization will be possible in the very near future,

URGING that laws for space colonization be made in order to settle future extraterrestrial disputes over land, trade, colonization, etc.

SUGGESTS that the following laws be established in order to avoid said future complications:

1. Neither entire planets nor moons may be claimed for colonization by an entire nation.

2. A maximum of three colonies are allowed for each nation until further research and technological advances are made into space exploration and colonization, of which are to be judged by the World Assembly.

3. The maximum land area for a colony may be 2,000 square km., in order to prevent over-expansion.

4. Trade and the agreements of fair trade between two or more nations with space-faring colonies shall be decided by those two or more nations alone.

5. The use of weapons of mass destruction against space-faring colonies of other nations is prohibited until further notice, which is to be decided by the World Assembly.

6. All World Assembly resolutions and laws apply to colonies in space.

7. Colonies may not be placed on planets or moons in which creating a one-hundred percent safe environment is impossible.

8. Housing, entertainment, jobs, medical assistance, a readily available supply of food and water, police force, military fortifications (optional), establishment of government, and general human comfort are expected to be provided at all colonies established, and no colonies may inhabited by human beings until the said requirements are met.

9. Colonies may be placed at any habitable location on a planet or moon, so long as the colony meets the above requirements.

10. All established space-faring colonies must be on a planet or moon within a distance of Earth that may be easily communicated with.

HAVING established these suggested laws created for the sake of space colonization within this document,

THIS legislative proposal shall be made official law depending on the votes of the World Assembly.

Not likely to be related to this, but this is rather complicated: Earth is an RL reference as underlined and the way it is worded may be borderline with the optionality rule.

Not only that but there are multi-planet nations in the WA. If this passed, they would not be able to keep all of their planets.
