Restrictions On Nuclear Activity

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: He Qixin 2

The World Assembly:

Understands that nuclear activity would cause a nuclear apocalypse throughout all nations in the world.

Frightened by the massive radiation and widespread devastation a nuclear apocalypse would cause.

Also considering the fact that there are way more WA nations than non-WA nations.

Learning the need to safeguard nuclear weapons as stated in GA Resolutions #391 'Securing Nuclear Materials from Dastardly Menaces', #351 ' 'Nuclear Material Safeguards' and #418 'Safeguarding Nuclear Materials'.

Implying that nuclear weapons are dangerous because they are the main causes of nuclear activity, and cannot be used without government approval.

Further implying that nuclear weapons in non-WA members may affect member nations.

Therefore limiting nuclear activity done in all nations.

Clarifying that such "nuclear activity" does not include the annual nuclear war.

And hereby:

1. Allows any member nations to use nuclear weapons to do nuclear activities, but in a safe way and must be approved by the government.

2. Maintains a careful procedure whilst doing any nuclear activities.

3. Mandates member nations to monitor their country for nuclear activity, and check for suspicious actions.

4. Prohibits any unauthorized nuclear activity, which is not approved by the government as stated in Clause 1, to be carried out.

Trying to affect non-WA nations. Meta-gaming, it acknowledges the N-day event. Since it's He Qixin, probably also contradiction.

Also legislating on top of previous legislation.

Does nothing

Increase Nation Security

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

Category: International Security

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: The Liberation States

Due to increased terror attacks and threats to the peace and security of our law-abiding nations, the WA imposes that all WA members must increase their defense budgets. Increasing defense budgets will protect our citizens and protect the national interests of the WA.

Does nothing

Wrong on both accounts.

[Essu Beti]

The latter is branding and bloggy though. Also really stupid. Proposals need to do something other than just propose stat changes.

Repeal: “Restrictions on Child Labor”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#4

Proposed by: KingMaker

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

Repeal “Restrictions On Child Labor”

Nations should have liberty to govern over their own population and build their own economy without being harnessed by international law like this one. A 15 years old should be able to go to work without being considered as child laborer.

Natsov only

Repeal: “Safeguarding Nuclear Materials”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#418

Proposed by: Hokkaido Honshu Kyushu and Shikoku

General Assembly Resolution #418 “Safeguarding Nuclear Materials” (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

I think instead of completely banning usage of nuclear weapons it should be proposed the policy of NO FIRST USE. If anyone uses nuclear weapons the other nation completely has the right to use nuclear weapons but Think Before You Leap

Branding, legislating in a repeal

End of Greed and Hoarding, Beginning of Benevolence

A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Absentius

In order to further boost HDI and GDP per capita of every nation in this assembly, we must further put down any policies and actions conducted by governments to take advantage of poorer nations or close their fruitful economies away from countries who may depend on such exports to their countries to survive.

This proposal calls for:
Complete repealing of anti-foreign aid policies
Increased spending on Industry and Foreign Aid
Decisions enacted to increase HDI

If these are to be implemented, then new lives may be constructed in rich countries and lives donated to poorer countries.

This resolution will help advance the world into an era of luxury, agree with it and you will shine...

Branding, very vague.

Repeal: “Restrictions On Child Labor”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#4

Proposed by: Rujero

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

The World Assembly,

Reminding itself that (i) legislation passed by the World Assembly cannot be amended or changed, only repealed, and that any correction of the problems noted in the target resolution would first require passage of a repeal, and (ii) there are no real good reasons to keep ambiguous legislation around,

Observing that the target resolution, GAR #4, creates no practical protections beyond those already established by member nations,

Understanding that the World Assembly Defines a 'minor' as a person below the legal age of majority as defined in their nation,

Realizing that the current law fails to adequately define what a minor is as each nation sets its own standards creating a system of abuse in many nations,

Troubled by the imposition of a law that has no means of enforcement due to ambiguity,

Concluding that repeal of GAR#4 will have no real effect on member nations and the protections according to minors,

Calling for the replacement of this legislation with stronger protections that clearly define a minor in a manner that can be enforced universally between nations.,

The World Assembly thus: Repeals Restriction on Child Labor GAR#4

(Dis)honest mistake. Always nice to see IA cramming his mannerisms down impressionable writers' throats, too.

[States of Glory WA Office]

Always nice to see IA cramming his mannerisms down impressionable writers' throats, too.

Are you sure? I don't see 'whereas' or 'by the consent of blah blah blah'.

"Reminding itself that (i) legislation passed by the World Assembly cannot be amended or changed, only repealed, and that any correction of the problems noted in the target resolution would first require passage of a repeal, and (ii) there are no real good reasons to keep ambiguous legislation around,"

Which actually reminds me that this proposal is also illegal for plagiarism, unless IA publicly expresses his consent to its use in this...thing.

[Imperium Anglorum]

Always nice to see IA cramming his mannerisms down impressionable writers' throats, too.

I didn't okay that copy of my catchphrase right there. That's plagiarism. Now, I won't play this stupid game of trying to get people ejected for next-to-meaningless rules violations, so I'm not going to run after this chap. Also, I similarly have no control over a writer's desire to emulate a successful author.

I don't think they do ejections for this sort of thing anymore. I could be wrong, though.

Actually, plagiarism is a OSRS violation and can get you ejected, but considering that IA seems to be giving permission for it after the fact, the mods are unlikely to act on it. If I remember correctly, plagiarism should be reported via GHR, due to game mods being needed for removing the proposal and ejecting the account from WA.

Refugee Allowance Act

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Southern Lamtonia

The Nation of Southern Lamtonia proposes,
The Refugee Allowance Act

This law would make it compulsory for all nations considered first world to import a MINIMUM of 15,000 Refugees a year. The nation may choose the location from where they collect the refugees from.

IMAGE: By the year 2020 all 1st world countries will have at least 50,000 refugees in them.
BY PASS: Nations may choose to appeal to this because of space limitations, lack of resources, ect by sending a appeal to the high ranks of the WA.
I hope we can stop the refugee problem we have today...

Branding, and is "1st world" a real-life reference? It also begs the question of what happens if, by some miracle of peace, there are no refugees in a given year to "import."

Branding; yes, "first world" is a RL reference; and also Game Mechanics, because there's no mechanism in place for "the high ranks of the WA" to hear such appeals. (I've explained to the author that they need to give this job to a committee.)
I did consider the last point, and although it's a theoretical possibility I think that the odds against are probably enough that the situation wouldn't actually arise.

Adequate Funding For The Education And Art Sector

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

Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Artistic

Proposed by: United States of Medford

I humbly propose for the development and adequate funding of education and arts. Education has no doubt been the cornerstone of societal advancement and stability.

This proposal will be of immense benefit to both developed and developing nations in the areas of creative art works,boom in movie industry, human development index,tourism and other economic spheres. Quality education tends to increase literacy rates and reduce crime rates. The proposal will also help to promote the world cultural heritage and increase tourism productivity.

Weak nations should be provided with funding such as grants and aids to be able to execute this proposals and enjoy its benefits. The proposal will also help to reduce poverty levels due to the fact that literate citizens tend to be self reliant and not always depending on government jobs. They will instead provide jobs for their respective nations with government support such as business friendly policies.

I sincerely request for the approval of this proposal for the global interest.

Thank you,Fellow Learned Colleagues.

In that respect, the following acts of parliament that will guide the proposal are as follows:
1. Each country shall establish creative acts council to regulate and fund art and education institutions.
2. This council shall be headed by a Minister who is appointed by the country leader for a specified period.
3. The council shall be funded by the government and private sector.
4. The General Assembly shall establish monitoring committees in conjunction with regional governments to evaluate and track the activities of the council in other to meet world standards.

I sincerely request for the approval of this proposal for global interest.

Thank you,Fellow Learned Colleagues.

Still Branded. Could well be RL references as well (Parliament, Minister), Game Mechanics (sanctions by the GA), and some metagaming (regional governments)

Anti-Gambling Enforcement Act

A resolution to legalize or outlaw gambling.

Category: Gambling

Legalize/Outlaw: Outlaw

Proposed by: Itheyeodal

Gambling Ban Act
A resolution to ban the activity of gambling

RECOGNISING that gambling is a threat to the individuals way of life and economic well-being,

NOTING that capitalist, socialist, communist, and other economic systems are fully capable of outlawing it with easy regulations and strict enforcement,

DEFINES "gambling" to include the the entire spectrum from Casinos to Online Gambling to Horse Racing etc,

FURTHER DEFINES "gambling" as the partaking of extremely risk orientated actions in the hope of a desired result, which is harmful in socio-economic terms, where the 'House' running the gambling always wins. Noting that this definition only applies for the playing of games for a chance of money,

ENCOURAGES individuals, groups of individuals, and national governments to engage in the outlawing of these activities and any forms they may come in,

ALLOWS national governments to regulate gambling within their jurisdiction, as long as it is outlawed,

REQUIRES national governments to take legal action towards any individual or group of individuals, seizing the money made illegally by these practices in order to ensure it's complete regulation,

CREATES the International Gambling Regulations Committee to investigate, mediate, and arbitrate any nations that do not comply with this act,

NOTES that this legislation does not affect any interpretation of fines, legal sentence or forms of punishment that can be imposed onto individual within a nation found guilty of these crimes,

REQUIRES that no continuation gambling be generally allowed by the WA unless:

1. Amended by future legislation, or
2. Protection by past legislation towards certain nations.

Pretty sure that something that basically says “this proposal can be amended by future proposals” isn’t kosher. And I have no idea what “no continuation gambling be generally allowed by the WA” or “protection by past legislation by certain nations” are supposed to mean.

Also something that amounts to “you can regulate this as much as you want as long as it’s completely outlawed” is a pretty pointless thing to put in a proposal.

Yes, both CD and I have marked it as illegal because the bit about Amendments falls foul of the 'Game Mechanics' rule.
CD has also called it illegal for contradiction of GAR #68, but I think that the "RECOGNISING" clause is meant to meet that resolution's "extreme hazard" requirement and it might be enough for that. The author has certainly read GAR #68, because they've borrowed heavily from its structure... and, in the start of the "NOTING" clause, from its wording as well! Not quite enough for me to insist on labeling it as Plagiarism, but I've posted advice for the author to be more careful about such matters in future...

On International Law Enforcement
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Gratissima

The World Assembly,
NOTICING that dangerous criminals have been escaping more frequently,
FURTHER NOTICING that said criminals often completely flee their nation of origin and thus are able to completely escape justice,
FURTHER NOTICING that said criminals will often continue to commit more crimes in the nations they have fled to,
HEREBY:
1. REQUIRES that member nations who have had a convicted felon escape from their borders notify the surrounding nations and possible nations the escapee may have fled to of the situation, including all crimes aforementioned escapee has been convicted with.
2. FURTHER REQUIRES that if a nation chooses to exile a convicted felon from their nation as punishment, fully notify the nation the criminal has been exiled to of all crimes aforementioned felon has ever committed, including convictions in foreign nations, if applicable, and advise nation on safety measures to take.
3. ALSO FORMS a committee to explore the possibilities of an international law enforcement agency for the purposes of regulating agreements regarding law enforcement and criminal justice between nations and performing actions of extradition.

Duplication
Also problematic
Perhaps more, but I got bored and stopped reading.

Not sure about the clashes with those other resolutions that you suggest, without spending longer reading & comparing than I can do right now, but I've called it illegal on the basis that as all it actually requires is some [potential] sharing of information there's no way that it's stronger than [verrry...] Mild.

Repeal: “Prevention of Torture”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#9

Proposed by: The Legion Imperial

General Assembly Resolution #9 “Prevention of Torture” (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

World Assembly,
Recognizing that GAR #9 had noble intentions.

Understanding that this topic is controversial.

Understanding that the number of Terrorist cells, and anti human groups have risen since the passage of GAR #9.

Proposing that in this time, enhanced tactics are needed to extract information, from such groups, who may hold onto such information throughout imprisonment.

Seeing that such tactics may be classified as physical or psychological torture.

Understanding that as stated above, such tactics are sometimes vital.

Knowing that the information could save lives.

Knowing that torture is most often used not as a way of controlling the populace, but for extracting important information from persons who wish to do harm to others.

Asking that member nations only use torture as a last resort.

Asking that members consider the "Ticking Time Bomb Scenario" in which your police capture a terrorist who has planted a time bomb somewhere in the city.

Asking that the World Assembly Repeal "Prevention of Torture.

I don't think "Asking" is an operative clause, so it lacks that. If it is an operative clause, it tries to legislate in a repeal (With the three "Asking"s).

[Araraukar]

I don't think "Asking" is an operative clause, so it lacks that. If it is an operative clause, it tries to legislate in a repeal (With the three "Asking"s).

Actually, this alone makes it legislating in a repeal:

Asking that member nations only use torture as a last resort.

If it was "hoping" or "wishing" instead, then probably no problem, but I read "asking" like "requesting" or "suggesting", aka mild strength active clause language.
