WA-GA World Borders Protection Act Of 2017

A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Trudau

Whereas, the WA-GA will allocate funding for countries that wish to improve their own border security, this includes funding towards:
1. Border Walls
2. Hiring for more immigration agents
3. Improved transports for international efforts in deportations
4. Increased security efforts for port security and the halting of illegal items being trafficked into a nation

Whereas, the definition of Illegal Immigration in the WA-GA is established as:
"Any individual or group who attempts or succeeds in infiltrating a border without said nation's or region's permission, whether the circumstances be innocent or illegally violent in cause."

Whereas, the WA-GA will host a database for illegal immigration worldwide and will strive to end it in well-kept nations that desire a strong border security. The WA-GA realizes that Illegal immigration is unfair to people who use a nation's fair and legal process and it also harbors violent criminals and thieves of jobs which negatively impact international securities and economies.

This is optional

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: The Authoritarian Republic of Lochario

I want to make a free trade alliance for all nations in WA,so that we could make strong economy and be powerful.This resolution might seem risky,but It should have a chance to be accepted.

Format (not written as a law); No Operative Clause (and therefore incorrect strength, too).
The Confrederated Clans (and other Confrederated Bodys) of the Free Bears of Bears Armed
(includes The Ursine NorthLands) Demonym = Bear[s]; adjective = ‘Urrsish’.
Population = just under 20 million. Economy = only Thriving. Average Life expectancy = c.60 years. If the nation is classified as 'Anarchy' there still is a [strictly limited] national government... and those aren't "biker gangs", they're traditional cross-Clan 'Warrior Societies', generally respected rather than feared.

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Regulations

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

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: All Businesses

Proposed by: Becklana

People of the World Assembly,

ACKNOWLEDGING that Climate change, and global warming are a factor that will effect future generations.

NOTING that as a result to Climate change and global warming, sea levels will rise, displacing millions of people.

I HERBY propose the following measures:

1) Net Carbon Dioxide intake/release must be Balanced in every nation.

2) 50% of energy production in every nation must be renewable energy.

3) Out-right ban the use of coal to produce energy.

4) Set up an International Disaster Response Fund for countries effected by Acts of God.

5) All nations must spend at a minimum of 2% of it's budget on the environment.

ACKNOWLEDGE these actions have been recommended by Scientists across the globe.

NOTE that Climate Change & Global warming are happening now. If we act now we can save our countries borders from shrinking as the sea levels rise.

RECOMMEND Nations take further action than proposed in this Resolution.

URGES that future generations will thank you.

Branding, mandating national tax rates.

Protect Our Trees!

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

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: Logging

Proposed by: Pan Europe

Every country should:
1) Protect all forests, woods etc. by classifying them as nature reserves
2) Plant 3 young trees for every old one they chop down.
3) Avoid forests in every road.

Vague, simplistic, and not written like a law.

Seems to violate R4, because it has no clause.

Not written as a law; "every country" would include non-WA nations as well as WA members; No operative clause ("should" doesn't actually DO anything).

Not written as a law; No operative clause ("should" doesn't actually DO anything); and, as it would take effect immediately on being passed (in the absence of any clause saying otherwise) contradiction of GA Resolution #301 because that allows a transition period for phasing-out vehicles that rely on leaded fuels..

There's already been a ruling (or, if I'm wrong on that, a general understanding, nevertheless) on the use of 'all nations' and 'member nations' in that the former is not illegal so long as the latter is not used. Why is 'every nation' substantively different from 'all nations'?

While I am aware that several past resolutions use "all nations", I still maintain that "all nations" means all nations, member or not, even when member nations is not used. It should be illegal for current and future proposals.

We really need a ruling on this ASAP.

Make Snoop Dogg President Of The GA And Smoke Weed

A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.

Category: Recreational Drug Use

Decision: Promote

Proposed by: LimpBizkit

[strike]Observing that the GA has no president as of now.

Appointing rapper Snoop Dogg to be president of GA

noting snoop dogg will be the first black president of the GA marking progress

hingus dingus lingus

the official console of the GA will be the PS Quadruple at the request of C Wizzy

Wii and Xbox user nations should be banned because the PS triple is superior

thanks u

USA USA USA USA


Bolding, underlining, and what appears to be an attempt at a strikethrough are all theirs, not mine. I shouldn't even have to say what's wrong with this one, but branding, real-world refs, attempting to name someone to a position that does not exist, etc.

Edited because I somehow mixed up metagaming and real-world

Trust Factbooks, not stats.

The Ambassador of Essu Beti is Iksana Gayan and he's an elf. He’s irritable and a damn troll and everything he says is IC only. I would never be so tactless OOC.

National News Radio: A large-scale infrastructure project will soon be underway. During this time, for safety reasons, the island will be closed to tourists and foreign news agents. We do expect a minor loss in revenue due to this, but this will be greatly offset by both the long and short-term benefits of the infrastructure project. If your job is negatively impacted by the island closure, please send a letter or verbal message via courier to the Council so that we can add you to the list of beneficiaries of foreign aid.
