The General Assembly,
Lauding the efforts of 451 GA, International Aero-Space Administration, towards bringing about a new era of international cooperation in space,
Yearning to build on the progress it has made by establishing international bases in this vast final frontier, in coordination with the newly-established IASA,
Turning its gaze towards the heavens, the vast final frontier, long the most ancient and natural wonder of sapient species the universe over,
Hence Forth this Assembly,
- Tasks the International Aero-Space Administration, alongside its scientists, engineers, and builders, with providing assistance, where feasible, towards the safe and secure construction of research bases in outer-space, with the goal of making said bases feasibly accessible to every nation, and for the purposes of promoting peaceful cooperation,
- The World Assembly initiates the Intersystem Space Stations Programme, thrusting the following rules and regulations for WA Member Nations, as well as defining it’s purpose:
- Grants member-nations permission to make use of said research bases for non-violent purposes & endeavors, subject to the discretion of the IASA, who shall retain the claim to ownership of said bases,
- Establishes, that member nations with the necessary infrastructure to make use of the stations in a safe and secure manner must fund the project in accordance with the monetary necessities of the construction and planning,
- Further Establishes that member nations will all have access to a station within a reachable distance of their home world with the number of stations in accordance with such,
- Encourages member nations to send builders and workers to work on the establishment of the stations as well as scientists and engineers to work from their home world on their schematics,
- Sets a minimum standard for the safety of the stations, mandating that they must be built with a certain level of safety in mind, This isn't currently part of the actual proposal, just a clause I would look to include some way, suggestions?
- Declares the function of the stations to be helping the peoples of the WA in their endeavors in space, by creating stations for research and cooperation between nations in space,
- Understands that all member states of the World Assembly have permission to use the station to conduct scientific research in a zero-gravity environment,
- Mandates that member states will be allowed to use the stations for their various peaceful endeavors in the final frontier (eg. A place to refuel a spacecraft),
- Clarifies that member states that use the station for endeavors that are decidedly violent (excluding research based ones) or inhumane will be barred from use of the station,
- Appreciates the value this could have for the international community,
Establishes the above, commissioning construction of the Intersystem Space Stations.
