World Student Travel Visa
A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.


Category: Education and Creativity
Area of Effect: Educational
Proposed by: Spadanera

Description: Allow all university level students to obtain any needed travel documents that will allow them to travel, at a large discount, to and from any university belonging to a WA member nation. This will open up many more educational opportunities to students from all walks of life. This will allow students to choose the perfect school for their education career.
All students will need to undergo security background checks before being allowed to have this visa as it will essentially let university students travel to and from any WA member nation without limits or lengths of stay so long as they are registered full time university students.
As added incentive, any students who obtain and maintain a 4.0 GPA will be allowed travel vouchers worth a 90% discount on all WA member nation transportation services.

:palm:

At least it has a very big loophole.

What about if it's a her?

Article 11. Each member nation is free to adapt the resolution according to the social and cultural values of nations.

Heh so I guess if the social and cultural values of a nation do not allow for a State of Emergency, this is a free call saying "Ignore the resolution"?

a pair of real doozies for ya

Genetic Ownership
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: General Hammond

Description: Concerned that an individual's genetic material may be utilized by a third party against the individual's will or knowledge;

Further concerned by the assertion that human DNA is "the property of the world;"

Affirming that each individual has certain fundamental ownership rights to their own body and the genetic codes within;

The World Assembly hereby declares;

(I) Each person's unique genetic code is their own property, and not the property of any government, group of scientists, or the world at large.

(II) An individual shall have the sole right to choose whether their genetic material is utilized for scientific research or for cloning purposes.

(III) No individual may be cloned without their express consent.

(IV) Clones made from another person's DNA shall retain ownership of their own genetic makeup, including any minute alterations or enhancements that have been included during the reproductive process.

(V) While designer genes may be copyrighted by the companies and individuals responsible for their creation, any sentient person created with these genes shall retain a copyright to those genes for the purposes of cloning & reproduction.

(VI) Individual nations retain the right to regulate or prohibit genetic experimentation and cloning as they deem appropriate.

yeah. Whatever. Tired of cloning proposals. Bored now.

Review of Democratic Process
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.


Category: Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Dog Fort

Description: The World Assembly,

ACKNOWLEDGING that the World Assembly has attempted to spread peace through the introduction of social, economic and other policy in the form of "Resolutions";

BELIEVING that the World Assembly does not represent the will of the majority of residents of the Assembly's constituents in it's current form;

SUGGESTING that the hallmarks of democracy are required for the assembly to function as a fair and reasonable entity;

FURTHER BELIEVING that the World Assembly requires a radical restructuring and adjustment in order to preserve said hallmarks of democracy;

URGING that all members consider reform of the World Assembly's system to better reflect the aforementioned democratic hallmarks, through actions such as, but not limited to:
1. The immediate review of all World Assembly proposals
2. Dissolving the World Assembly in it's current form, WITH the intention of the creation of a more democratic alternate, in which:
I. All nation's representatives will be democratically elected for a maximum of three (3) year terms
II.That voting will be weighted according to the population of the respective nation, ensuring that votes will be a reflection of the will of the people of the world, not the nations of the world.
3. Further discussion of the problems and need for reform of the current system of world government

ACKNOWLEDGING that it is impractical to dissolve or change the assembly over night;

CONCLUDING that there are definite issues with the current democratic state of world governance that there is a definite and urgent need for discussion and reform of the World Assembly through the use of further resolutions & debate between nations in order to further the state of democracy in the world.

Oh just so much complete fail in this one. I have to wonder, were they trying to see how many meta-gaming violations they could cram into one package?

GENERAL ASSEMBLY PROPOSAL
ID: new_snark_1305763901
Cloning and Genetics Act

A resolution to develop industry around the world.


Category: Advancement of Industry


Area of Effect: Environmental Deregulation


Proposed by: New snark

Description: THE WORLD ASSEMBLY:
WHAT IT CAN DO:
1.It can advance technology in the science and genetic community.
2.It can recreate endangered and extinct species, especially ones Humans are relatively interdependent on.
3. It can reduce the need for organ donors, and it can recreate organs for those who may need organs
4. It can grow the agriculture industry by genetically alter plants and domesticated animals to be more efficient.
5. For large Companies, whom are running low on staff they could use cloning to create workers.

CONCERNED, that we are destroying animal species, and running out of good industry workers.

BELIEVING that human cloning, once researched could help cure notible diseases such as Cancer, and AIDS.

NOTING that Cancer and AIDS have killed billions of people.

hereby,

CREATES GGLs (Global Genetic Labs) where nations Have the choice to do this form of study.

ALLOWS people to be able to clone themselves legally, by choice or descision.

URGES the recreation of extinct or endangered species

MANDATES the use of clone workers, and some forms of genetic enhancement (depending on a nations laws and regulations)

PROHIBITS the release of someones genetic code, the use of genetic research as a way to mutate humans, and the use of genetics as weapons





Approvals: 2 (Great Famine, Capisaria)

Status: Lacking Support (requires 75 more approvals)

Voting Ends: in 3 days 2 hours


Why can't we have genetic labs at the national level? Mandating the use of clones, yet prohibiting the release of genetic code? There's also capitalization failure.

Repeal "Restrictions on Child Labor"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation


Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#4
Proposed by: Arizinia

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #4: Restrictions on Child Labor (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument:
REALIZES the good intensions of "Restrictions on Child Labor,"

STATES that there is no definition for "Age of Consent,"

FURTHER STATES that the "legal age of majority" could be any age, and in some countries this could ban anyone from joining the army,

REALIZES that "Armed Conflict" could be defined as acts of self defence because there is no given definition,

Grays must be asleep, as I'm the first to post this doozy of a repeal!

Repeal "Restrictions on Child Labor"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation
Category: Repeal | Resolution: GA#4 | Proposed by: Reverend Pierre

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #4: Restrictions on Child Labor (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Realizing that employment in all industries will cause a child's well being to landslide while in full time education;

Believing that it is morally wrong for any state or governing body to force children into any career or job, in any industry;

The World Assembly thus:

(A)Defines a 'minor' as a person below the legal age of 16.

(B) Bans the employment of minors in:
(1) Full time employment.
(2) Part time employment.

(C) Bans the participation of minors in any armed conflict.

(D) Bans anyone under the age of 18 from engaging in sexually explicit acts as a form of employment.


This appears to - quite obviously - legislate during a repeal. Also, I'm kinda missing the whole "here's what's wrong with the resolution in question" part of the repeal. *scratches head in confusion*



Also:

Firearm use while intoxicated
A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.
Category: Gun Control | Decision: Tighten | Proposed by: Alghanistan

Description: DEFINES: controlled substance as: "A drug deemed to be illegal by a government except for very limited professional testing purposes"

RECOGNIZES: The use of firearms, controlled substances, and alcohol may be legal.

CONCERNED: The use of firearms while under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances will endanger the well lives of both the firearm handler and those in the vicinity.

PROHIBITS: The use of firearms while under the influence of alcohol, and/or controlled substances.DEFINES: controlled substance as: "A drug deemed to be illegal by a government except for very limited professional testing purposes"

The inclusion of the "definition" twice makes me laugh. And I"m kinda curious as to what "professional testing purposes" entail.

Also/And OOC: As a RL pharmacist, this definition of "controlled substance" is totally not at all what I'd go with. This means that if pain meds and/or alcohol and/or other drugs are legal for use in a given nation, they can be used with firearms. So ... I'm kinda wondering what substances would be illegal to use with firearms. Substances that are ALREADY illegal to use in the first place? Seems somewhat redundant to me.

We gots us a three-fer from a single person here

Repeal "Freedom of Assembly"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation


Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#27
Proposed by: Luthiland

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #27: Freedom of Assembly (Category: Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: REALIZING that Freedom to assemble peacefully is considered a basic human right.

APPLAUDING the Freedom of Assembly resolution for recognizing and protecting the right to assemble peafully

CONCERNED that the resolution makes no provision for policing assembled peoples or protecting assembled groups from harm.

AND FURTHER CONCERNED that section 1 of the resolution may be abused by persons or groups for illegal activities

The WA hereby REPEALS General Assembly Resolution #27.

Pretty piss-poor and paranoid reason to repeal the Freedom of Assembly.


Repeal "The Landmine Convention"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation


Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#40
Proposed by: Luthiland

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #40: The Landmine Convention (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: RECOGNIZING that land mines, like all other weapons of war, have a potential to cause injury or death to non-combatants

NOTING that land mines, when implemented with care and precaution, act as a superior defensive tool to secure a nation's borders from possible aggression without a noticeable rise in civilian casualties.

OBSERVING that an absolute ban on land mines places an undue burden on the economies and militaries of WA member nations.

FURTHER OBSERVING that while legislation is needed to define precautionary measures to be taken when deploying land mines, an full ban does more harm than good.

The WA hereby REPEALS World Assembly Resolution #40.

This ban burdens economies? really?



Repeal "Biological Weapons Conference"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation


Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#65
Proposed by: Luthiland

Description: WA General Assembly Resolution #65: Biological Weapons Conference (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: RECOGNIZING that biological weapons, like all other weapons, have a potential to cause injury or death to non-combatants.

NOTING, however, that the mere possession of biological weapons may act as a deterrent to aggression by other nation.

APPALLED that an absolute ban on biological weapons places an undue burden on WA member nations who must defend themselves against non-WA nations that may possess biological weaponry without the aid of such weaponry.

The WA hereby REPEALS General Assembly Resolution #65.

ANOTHER undue burdon? :palm:

National Sovereignty Lock

Category: Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: UK Independence Party

Description: This act recognises the importance of the World Assembly in tackling global poverty and improving global security.
The compromise and agreement between nations shows the democratic component of such assembly.

However, there seems to be something profoundly undemocratic when a nation votes against a specific resolution/act, but yet it is still pushed into that independent, sovereign nation's law.

This can be shown as nothing more than a violation of democracy. It is solely up to the leader of the nation if the act is duly enforced in their own nation.

If you vote for an act, that specific law should be practised whereas if you vote no, you are not obliged to enforce such legislation.

I am a fan of the World Assembly and wish to see it prosper as it helps with many of global issues, but, sometimes, it may supercede sovereign decisions which is regrettable for a seemingly democratic assembly.

I propose that it should be down to the country to decide their laws based on the vote given in the resolution at hand.

Illegal for trying to change compliance mechanics.

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


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

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: The people of North Walden Emirates would like to move for a clarification on the

Nuclear Arms Possession Act
.

They feel that this act is very ambiguous in that:

1) It does not account for intra-WA conflict.

2) Does not account for the governing law of Regional bodies, only those of the individual nations have been taken into account.

3) Does not specify "whose hands the wrong hands" are. How can a small, capitalist nation, such as The Dictatorship of Liebergooch, be expected to know which nations NOT to sell nuclear arms to?

The people of North Walden Emirates would like to propose an amendment be made to this act. This should:

1) Recognize that not all WA member nations are peaceful with one another

2) Take into account the power, or lack thereof, of regional governmental bodies

3) Clearly define the characteristics of a "wrong hands" nation or region.


Ammendements are illegal. Trying to turn NAPA into a dictionary is just plain stupid. Lets not forget branding either. It almost seems that the author went point by point on what makes a proposal illegal and used that as a guideline for writing.

[violet] gave us a Preview button, right? It's not like that disappeared, magically, when the proposal list was empty, right?

Petroleum Tanker Standards

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

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: All Businesses

Proposed by: North Davku Company

Description: RECOGNIZING the need to transportation oil and natural gas across oceans

RECOGNIZING that the transport of oil and natural gas is vital to many national economies

NOTING that many other nations rely on natural gas and oil imports for their oil and natural gas supply

RECOGNIZING the great danger oil spills pose to surrounding animals, plants, and the ocean environment at large

FURTHER RECOGNIZING that triple hulled or triple bottom ships significantly lower the chances of an oil spill

Therefore, the World Assembly,

ESTABLISHES the World Assembly Oil Transportation Committee to:
1. Ensure oil tankers are kept up to meet requirements
2. To research methods to improve oil tankers and reduce the chance of a spill
3. To research more efficient clean up methods if an oil spill does occur
4. To acquire new technology from member states already possessing it at the member state's consent.
5. To take suggestions of new technology from member states.

MANDATES that every new oil tanker must be equipped with at least a Triple hull or Triple bottom to decrease chances of an oil spill;

REQUIRES non-proprietary Triple-hulled technology be made available to shipbuilders, and that proprietary Triple-hulled technology be made available at reasonable rate of return for the developer of the technology;

ALSO REQUIRES that all double-hulled and single-hulled tankers are to be phased out and replaced with either triple-bottom or triple-hulled tankers at the earliest possible time;

MANDATES that each new tanker be equipped with a proper ventilation system for the main tank;

MANDATES that every tanker is to have proper equipment on board to quickly put out fires aboard the vessel;

MANDATES that tanker captains must quickly and promptly report oil spills to the marine and environmental authorities of member states affected so the spill can be quickly contained;

URGES nations to implement other or better safety features aboard oil tankers other than what is specified here


Haha. Why didnt the WA use this one instead of the double hulled tanker?

It's like razors man, they just keep adding blades/hulls.
In a year we'll be seeing proposals trying to mandate quadruple-hull tankers.
