Illegal GA Proposals 2nd edition

Human Rights Secret Immigrants
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Wanchirsi

As we have noticed in recent months a rise in the phenomenon of secret immigration, we propose the following:
1/To establish laws that oblige states to support these secret immigrants as much as possible
2/That criminals are punished according to the laws of their host countries
3/Guarantee their rights over the territory of any State
We therefore demand that the World Assembly implement these laws or establish other laws to guarantee the rights of any person in any country

Approvals: 0

What are "secret immigrants"? Does this actually do anything? And the category seems a bit hinky as well.

People who overstay their visas would be my guess, "we propose" does nothing, and I'm inclined to agree that this seems more focused on humanitarianism than security.

Legalization Of Marijuana For Medicinal Purposes
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.

Category: Health

Area of Effect: Healthcare

Proposed by: Staypuftonia

This World Assembly,

Proposing that Marijuana, also known as pot or weed, be allowed for medicinal uses.

Acknowledging that Marijuana can cure cancer and many other illnesses.

Recognizing that Marijuana has medicinal benefits.

Hereby prohibits not allowing access to Marijuana for illnesses that it can cure,

and confirms sufferers of illnesses, including Alzheimer's, have rights to Marijuana as a cure.

Seems to be the wrong category.


(And marijuana cures cancer and alzheimers? This is acknowledged? By who, exactly?)

Repeal: “Protecting Minority Languages”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#426

Proposed by: Cossack Warplane 6

General Assembly Resolution #426 “Protecting Minority Languages” (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Cultural Heritage) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

This World Assembly,

Recognizing the resigning of many nations from the WA since this bill’s passing;

Alarmed at the infringement of national sovereignty by this bill;

Acknowledging the good intent of the bill in question;

Encourages the WA to come up with a new bill detailing the protection of minority languages;

Hereby,

Expresses it’s hope that native speakers of minority languages will continue to learn and practice their languages;

Calls upon all WA nations to allow such minority languages to be practiced;

Approves of nations with an official language;

Further reminds nations that their official language may still be taught as mandatory subject;

Disapproves of such infringement on national sovereignty;

Hereby repeals Protecting Minority Languages

NatSov only argument, on a resolution that barely infringes on national sovereignty.

[Wallenburg]

NatSov only argument, on a resolution that barely infringes on national sovereignty.

And, although it's rather obvious at a glance that the part saying "Recognizing the resigning of many nations from the WA since this bill’s passing" is crap, I decided to check out the numbers. So far, we've seen about 1,711 nations admitted to the WA, and 1,397 resignations since the resolution passed. That's a net 314 nations entering the WA, not leaving it.

See, there you go again, refuting a perfectly good fabricated argument with facts. You know that just makes them annoyed, and runs counter to good a disinformation campaign.

Abolish The World Assembly
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Stonok

Concerned that the World Assembly endangers the rights of people of any ideology to form communities without fear of government-imposed persecution.

Acknowledging the ability of regional governments to solve internal, international, or inter-regional disputes without need for a higher supranational government.

Also acknowledging the forced lack of ability to repeal WA Resolution #1.

Defending people of any and all ideologies from liberations, condemnations, on the basis of ideology, or the basis of arbitrary morality.

Hereby abolishes the World Assembly as an entity, as well as strips it of all supranational power.

Approvals: 0

i'll take "Game Mechanics" for $200, please.

And contradicting existing legislation, metagaming, and wrong category. May even be an argument for Legislation in a Repeal.

I move to refer to this, the one that tried to ban SC intervention, and others of their ilk either as "Git Gud" proposals or as "Sour Grapes" proposals, and recommend they be added to the list of proposals that get DOS (the proposals, not the players).

Democratic movement act 2018

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Tralanta

This legislative proposal is brought to the house before to further democracy within the game. I believe that better regional communication should be made between large regions such as The East Pacific and small starter regions such as Estrad.

This law is to further the use of embassies and introduce ambassadors from other regions to help the grow and allow the voice of smaller regions to grow especially in the World Assembly.

Delegate ambassadors from regions should be voted on in an inter-regional election held by the founder of said region. Ambassadors will them join smaller regions to help promote and use recruitment structures of larger regions. The ambassadors must hold a regional government position in order to help recruit members. If a deal is not struck with the smaller area them the larger region can pull from the deal if there is a 2/3 majority from that region

This proposal also calls for the abolishment of stamps to send multiple recruitment request out to members as this limits the pace a group can expand therefore limiting the voice of many regions. If abolishment can not be reached a agreed figure of stamps should be supplied before the purchase of any stamps

I here by sign of this legislative proposal

a HELL of a lot of Game Mechanics and Metagaming violations

I like the fact that a one-day-old nation decided to alter the financial model of this website by making stamps free. I don't recall ever seeing that level of chutzpah before.

To Adopt A Single Currency Throughout The WA
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade

Proposed by: Marktania

This proposal hereby calls for all members states of the WA to adopt a single currency, based upon the strongest currency within the WA.
All member states must adopt the currency within a year, and if they do not they are subject to exclusiuon form WA free trade agreements, and even subject to embargo
This proposal would intertwine our economies, which would extremely decrease warfare and skirmishes
This proposal would accommodate nations who wish to exclusive themselves from free trade, but those nations who wish to remain protectionist must adopt the currency in favor of simplicity for their citizens, who wish to travel to other WA nations.
All member states who wish to participate in free trade must adopt this currency, if they do not, within a year, they will be excluded from all further and present trade agreements.
This proposal is not calling for open borders, or a schnegen area within the WA
This proposal is just calling for a greater economic unity within the WA

Approvals: 0

Reposting of a proposal previously ruled illegal for obvious reasons. And still illegal.

They did make significant changes (improved format; replaced the "exclusion from the WA" with "exclusion from WA free trade agreements") before submitting this version... but, yes, still illegal.

Deregulation of Economic Regulations

A resolution to develop industry around the world.


Category: Advancement of Industry

Area of Effect: Environmental Deregulation

Proposed by: Neo American Union


Overall Deregulates environmental regulations from the international community. Promotes economic development internationally.

Procedure Allows nations to develop industrialization to develop the nation's human development index, strengthen national unity, and increase wages.

Action

1). Allow corporations or government corporations to purchase land without the presence of any form of tax on undeveloped land.

2). Tax on developed land can't go beyond 1-2% of nation's GDP.

3). Allows nations to decrease land area of international natural reserves or international parks by 50% upon claim on specific acres of land.

4). Allows nuclear plants to be built along rivers with basic infrastructure without international regulation.

Concluding that a Nation's right to economic development shall not be limited to international politics or regulation.

Possible metagaming (the stats mentioned), and veers awfully close to a NatSov-only argument.

Repeal: “Protecting Minority Languages”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.


Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#426

Proposed by: Socialist Republic Of Assam


General Assembly Resolution #426 “Protecting Minority Languages” (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Cultural Heritage) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

World Assembly,

Declaring that languages are an identity for some nations. Protecting minority languages would destroy the language spoken by the majority. Not only that, protecting minority languages leads to difficulty of adjustment in the society and also is an economic burden for some reasons. What majority speaks, should therefore be the National Language.

Honest mistake: The targeted legislation does not, in fact, say, anywhere in its text, that there cannot be a National Language, or that the National Language cannot be taught.

NOTING that the Central Banking System of member nations have a significant impact on worldwide human rights by collecting mass amounts of funds while contributing to income inequality.

FURTHER NOTING that this resolution shall be called "The Banking Regulation Act"

FURTHER NOTING that this resolution shall be called "The Banking Regulation Act"

CREATES a World Assembly committee on Banking Regulations to limit the amounts of funds that a central bank can collect and store in member nations.

FURTHER NOTING that this resolution shall increase income equality and basic welfare of all member nations populace.

Committee only

I know this isn't the point, but I'd like to point out that, even if it weren't illegal, all that committee would be doing is forcing the wealthy to store their money in different banks and limit the profits of bankers, which, while considerable, is a drop in the bucket compared to the super wealthy. This proposal would have literally no effect on income equality, so, really, the strength is wrong, too.

This is a proposal to make it mandatory for murderers to recieve the death penalty if found guilty with strong proof. I think it is only fair as these rotten criminals are killing others, and they deserve a taste of their own, foul, medicine.

Deaths Due To Unjust And Unfair Policy
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Wambezzi

The sun. The glorious sun. It provides us life, it provides us energy, it provides us the very reason there is life on our planet.

But... there is a downside. If you stay in the sun for too long, you get sunburn. If you are in the sun for too many hours as a youth, you get cancer. And yet there are countries that ban the use of the most effective protection against these harmful side effects: Clothing.

Clothing blocks light, hats keep us from getting sunburn. In the winter, clothing keeps us warm and healthy. And yet some nations ban the use of this wonderful invention.

In a small, burgeoning nation with a mere 8,000,000 population, 200,000 people die every year because of extreme sunburn alone. This number would be much higher if cancer rates and extreme cold were taken into account.

It is time to act against this horrible act being forced upon the people of thousands of nations across the globe- The banning of clothing. Millions, if not billions of people die every year because of this preventable factor. Many feel that forcing these humongous numbers of people to burn to death in the heat of the sun is an atrocious act against humanity.

Let people live with the looming risk of death and disease if they wish- but do not force them to. Clothing should never be banned. Let people make the choice for themselves- it saves lives.

We Need To Stop Making Nukes

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Jooshua

We should stop the production of nuclear weapons because they pose a threat to global security.
We also want to dismantle all remaining weapons in order to guarantee a future for humanity. If we don't do this the world could go to nuclear war which would end the world as we know it.
And this line is here for no reason but to make this longer.

Branding, OpEd Blog, Questionable category, appears to be in response to a daily issue.

It was originally submitted with more branding (actually naming that "small, burgeoning nation"), and as Moral Decency: When marking that version as illegal for those & other reasons I told the author that giving people the right to wear clothes should be Human Rights instead, but unfortunately they didn't make enough other changes to clarify the argument.
One of my colleagues has marked this version as illegal not only for Format (on which I agree) but also for 'No Operative Clause': On the latter point, I'm considering whether the "Let people make the choice for themselves" just before the end of the proposal is enough...

Repeal The Barbaric Acts Against Nazi Europa

Category: Moral Decency

I write this proposal out of growing concern and disgust at peoples lack of open mindedness.

Concerned at the propsals to so called "liberate" places like Nazi Europa

Disgusted at people's hiporcsy about raiding, do they not realise by breaking down these walls and flooding the region's with anti-facists and expelling facists , they themselves become raiders.
I propose that it be banned to do this barbaric acts against facist nations to stop a repeat of places like Westphalia on the nazis
