Decrease Number Of Drug Users

Category: Health

Area of Effect: Healthcare

Proposed by: France Republique fr

I would like to propose the creation of an organism to help people with drug problems .
This organism can be fund with the help of the nations .

My goal is to decrease the number of drugs users within 5 years by 50 %

Branding, does nothing

Marked as illegal for those reasons and for 'Format' (not written as a law; insufficient detail about how it would work).

Ban White People

Category: Political Stability

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Harnick

No more white people. It's quite simple actually, because white people suck, and they're all racist, and there I said it!

Branding, trolling, flaming, racist, grossly offensive, category failure ...

Labelled as illegal for 'Grossly Offensive', and then Discarded, and I'll suggest that the Mods 'warn' its author.

Implement Stricter Tabacco Regulations

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

Category: Recreational Drug Use

Decision: Outlaw

Proposed by: Winslow Accord

Recognizing the damaging long term health effects that all forms of tobacco use can have on the body, including, but not limited to, cancers in almost all parts of the body, respiratory disorders and complications, cardiovascular disorders and complications, lower life expectancy and a wide range of other harmful effects;

Acknowledging that many individuals who suffer health effects from tobacco use may not be aware of the health risks, or may simply be too addicted to the nicotine inside the tobacco product to stop;

Concerned by the severe lack of legislation regarding this pressing matter;

Believing that this is both a global and national health issue, given the widespread use and availability of cigarettes and other tobacco products in almost every nation.

Hereby:

Defines “Tobacco Products”, as any product made or derived from tobacco that is intended for consumption, including any component, or part of a tobacco product. This includes, among other products, cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless tobacco. Nicotine extracted from tobacco plants (or related species) falls under this definition, unless it can be shown that the health and addictive effects commonly caused by tobacco products are not also caused by the isolated nicotine extract.

Mandates that WA Members task their appropriate regulatory bodies to require tobacco companies to put warning labels on all tobacco products sold in the nation which inform consumers of potential health and addiction risks.

Requires that WA Members task their appropriate regulatory bodies to guarantee that all future tobacco products claiming to be safe for consumers undergo rigorous testing proving the claim before they can go on the market with that advertising. If proven to be a safe alternative to current tobacco products, the product can qualify for a health/addiction risk labeling waiver. Tobacco companies may retroactively appeal for a health/addiction risk labeling waiver for tobacco product(s) that were in existence prior to the passage of this resolution, but only if it can be proven that no harm to consumers is caused by the tobacco product(s).


Looks like the only difference between this and the previously defeated proposal is the title and proposer. That probably makes it plagiarism.

Regulate The Distribution Of Marijuana

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

Category: Recreational Drug Use

Decision: Legalize

Proposed by: Hadiancor

We need to accept the fact that drugs are becoming mainstream, so we might as well distribute them legally instead of them buying it off the streets. Most of these drugs are laced and will harm a vast amount of all citizens.

No Guns Across Boarders

A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.

Category: Gun Control

Decision: Tighten

Proposed by: HailDonaghy

Recognizing that gun control is a very difficult and politically hot topic.

Understanding there is a need for better security from terrorism in world.

Clause
1. All nation must input data into a new international database of all criminal which allows all governments to deny the access of guns to any criminal from any nationstate.
2. Gun are not allowed travel between boarders, no matter which nation, due to differences between each national gun laws.

Further explanation of clause two.
Any nation is allowed to create its own gun laws. However, every gun purchased by a citizen must remain in the nation of purchase. To help prevent guns from falling into the hand of criminals in other nations, gun will not be allowed to travel between boarders, no matter immigration and trade agreements amongst nations.

Includes non-WA nations (no matter which nation)

------------------------
Freedom Of Education Act

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Libertanarchia

The General Assembly,

Whereas, considering The Most Holy and Grand Empire of Christian Democrats' General Assembly resolution Choice In Education was not completely awful in regards to legislative language and could have used some amendments;

Recognizing that children should receive the best education possible and that there should be such a freedom as school choice, much like the freedom of speech among others,

Further recognizing that parents are responsibility and duty to direct the upbringing and welfare of their children, free from unwanted interference and that the role of child rearing should remain to that of the family,

Understanding that diversity in education is beneficial not only to society, but also to combat the intellectual and cultural effects to avoid any wrongful discrimination,

Further understanding that there should be alternatives to government schooling (hereafter known as public schools) in order to develop the free market of education, with the intent for parents to give their children the best education for what they can afford and at the same time be free of any unwanted interference by totalitarian and immoral values,

Seeking to strengthen freedom of choice to reduce a coercive monopoly in the provision of necessary services, and assist all children in developing their minds and potentials,

1. Hereby defines, for the resolution, the following terms:

Public school: a primary or secondary school that is owned or operated by the government;
Private school: a primary or secondary school that is owned and operated by the private sector;
Homeschooling: primary and/or secondary education that is operated within the confines of one's home under the direction of a parent, legal guardian, relative, retired teacher or private tutor;
2. Affirms that parents and legal guardians have a legal right, at their expense, to remove or keep children from public schools to pursue alternate educational options;

3. Further affirms that people have a right, at their expense, to establish and maintain private schools and make zero contributions to public schools;

4. Abolishes excessive governmental authority in regards to unreasonable regulations on education, such as excessive curricular and standardized testing requirements, financial disclosures and any other statist regulations discriminatory toward religious beliefs, morals, political affiliation or economic schools of indoctrination that undermine and endanger private schools and homeschooling;

5. Considers less strict requirements on public schools in fairness to reforms extended to private schools and homeschooling entities;

6. Prohibits the government from mandating that a parent or legal guardian (re)enroll a child in a public school if the child, in rare instances, isn't making reasonable academic progress in a private or homeschooling educational environment, compared to the progress of public-schooled peers. Whereas this is hardly ever the case, most homeschooled students are out pursuing under-graduate college degrees by age 17.

Don't Tread On Me

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: The Revolutionary Armed Forces

ACKNOWLEDGING that factions within the World Assembly have been compelled to create a tyrannical bureaucracy of vast proportions.

NOTING that the conjunction of an immense legislature and broad interventionism is not new, in the Nationstates experience. The total influence, economic, political, even spiritual, is felt in every city, every state house, every office of federal governments.

RECOGNIZING the imperative need for this development, yet we must not fail to comprehend it's grave implications.

FURTHER RECOGNIZING that in the council of governments, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the General Assembly.

REGRETTING that past legislation has hampered the social, economic and political development of less fortunate World Assembly members.

SEEKING to establish a framework whereby the legislature operates in a bipartisan code of conduct, free of the imposing agenda of left/right extremes, "Don't Tread On Me" hereby establishes the following provisions aimed at reducing the executive oversight of the General Assembly in recognition of the inherent right of the self determination of it's members;

(I) The General Assembly shall not infringe upon the monetary policy (or policies) of it's members.

(II) The General Assembly shall not infringe upon the education system(s) of it's members.

(III) The General Assembly shall not infringe upon the health system(s) of it's members.

(IV) The General Assembly shall not infringe upon the social value(s) and/or social norm(s) of it's members.

FURTHER NOTING that the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge bureaucratic institution (World Assembly) with the peaceful methods and goals of it's members.

FINALLY any piece of past and/or future legislation in violation of these provisions is hereby declared null and void.

Trying to repeal without actually repealing anything. Duplication of several as well I do believe.

Legalize All Drugs For Medical Use

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

Category: Recreational Drug Use

Decision: Legalize

Proposed by: Anglo Republics

The World Assembly,
I hereby propose today some legislation of recreational drug usage for medical reasons and leave legalizing it for normal use to the nations of the World Assembly.

Recognizing that prescribed drugs can be abused and sold.
Understanding that all medical practices in hospitals cannot cure all diseases and illnesses.

Clauses:
1. If passed, all nations in the WA must allow recreational drug use for medical reasons in hospitals, doctor practices and other health organisations funded by said nations government.
2. For the drugs not to be taken abroad, as foreign nations will not have the knowledge that they are for medical use.

Elaboration on Clause 2: Before going abroad to another nation, said person prescribed with medical drugs should take consent from the doctor they received the medical drugs from.

In conclusion, recreational drugs should be legalized for medical uses and leave it up for the nations of the WA to legalize it for personal usage. Also, prosecute people caught taking drugs that are not medically prescribed to them to crack down on illegal drug use that may result in death to not just the taker, but innocent civilians.

Regards for reading.

The Global Disarmament Act

A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.

Category: Global Disarmament

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: United Mundisch

WHEREAS many WA Nations possess Nuclear Weapons, Chemical Weapons, or other Weapons of Mass Destructions.

WHEREAS such weapons are highly devastating and can cause many harmful effects.

WHEREAS if used enough, effects of such weapons could be Global.

BE IT HEREBY ENACTED:

1. No WA Nation may possess any Nuclear Weapons, be them Atomic Bombs, Hydrogen Bombs, or any other type, nor may they produce, buy, or sell said Weapons.

2. No WA Nation may possess any Chemical Weapons of any type, nor may they produce, buy, or sell said Weapons.

3. No WA Nation may possess any other type of Weapons of Mass Destruction, nor may they produce, buy, or sell said Weapons.

4. Any WA Nation that is in possession of said Weapons must turn over all of said weapons to the WA as soon as possible.

5. No Company, Corporation, or other entity that is located in a WA Nation may produce, buy, or sell said weapons.

Duplication and contradiction of many resolutions.

Removing Political Apathy In Youth

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

Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Educational

Proposed by: Centuronia

SEEING that the youth of today are growing apathetic due to lax government

ANTICIPATING that government will continue to grow more corrupt

COMPELLING for the government to take a more active roll in visible areas

ADJUDICATING that for the sake of self-sustenance, governments must work to inform youth of the aspects of government they find appealing, and to strive to reduce overall political scathing everywhere

Reads like a daily issue selection, and doesn't fit the category.

Repeal: “World Assembly Headquarters”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#8

Proposed by: The Revolutionary Armed Forces

General Assembly Resolution #8 “World Assembly Headquarters” (Category: Political Stability; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

In the council of governments, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought by the General Assembly. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist;

-"selling contracts to vendors, retailers and other service providers to offer products or services, or operate local chapters, offices or franchises, within WA-controlled territory"

This is a blatant example of the merger of state and corporate powers. Because any corporation at odds with the World Assembly isn't likely to be favored for a store opening. Conversely, corporations favored by the General Assembly will buy their way into WA controlled territory. In recognition of these statements, the World Assembly should stick to international legislation and military operations, not picking the winners and losers in the economy.

-"Declares that the headquarters for the World Assembly shall be located on international neutral territory, and that regular WA facilities shall not be subject to the jurisdiction of any nation"

This is absurd! An international body not subject to the jurisdiction of the nations that run it!? The World Assembly is a platform, not an end in of itself.

-"Stipulates that fair compensation must be granted to nations who willingly, per international agreement, cede part of their territory for this purpose"

The idea of the World Assembly owning it's own territory is dangerous. Dangerous to the foundations of national sovereignty and the democratic processes of individual nations.

-"Determines that in addition to its regular duties the OBM, as a self-sustaining entity, shall determine fair and reasonable rental fees for all nations who maintain office space at WA Headquarters, and additional fees for nations who regularly use WA facilities"
-"Grants the OBM exclusive authority to increase, decrease or waive these fees as circumstances warrant"

APPALLED over the OBM determinations. This is a monopoly on World Assembly Headquarters. An international entity is going to dictate price controls for nations, the same nations that keep it "a self-sustaining entity"

This legislation is a blatant acquisition of unwarranted influence.

This is written like an Op/Ed

Politician's Pledges should be Implemented

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: CommunistAnarchicDemocracy

WHEREAS Politicians in most representative electoral democracies tend to make no concrete pledges,
WHEREAS Politicians have too much leeway to not implement any promised change,
WHEREAS Politicians initiate change that the voters never approved,
The World Assembly thus HIGHLY RESOLVE:

(1) This Law applies to all Representative Electorial Democracies.
Politicians are defined as any candidates for any election.
(2) During politicians' campaigns, all promises made will be recorded.
(3) Politicians must publish publications which state the policies that should be passed and how the policies are coherent with the promises made. It should also include when these policies should be implemented. These publications should not be contradictory to any promises made. All promises made should be represented by policies in this publication.
(4) When a politician is elected, they must pass all policies written in the said publication.
(5) If an elected politician decides to pass a policy that is not written in the said publication, a public referendum would be triggered. If the result of the referendum opposes the policy, the policy would be repealed.
(6) If an elected politician decides not to implement a policy he/she proposed, a by-election would be triggered.

Understanding in the status quo, politicians are not accountable and have the incentive to be dishonest.
Rationalizing dishonest politicians who betray their promises and the people who voted for them serve no interest of good.
Realizing a democracy needs accountability in order to represent the public opinion and stay truly democratic
Believing democracy is a vital part of the core values of the World Assembly; the disappearance of democracy and the replacement of corrupt systems is immediately and significantly detrimental to the civil rights, economic freedom and political influence of the common civilians.
Furthermore believing this resolution will safeguard the accountability and ultimately prevent democracies from decaying into plutocracy/corporatocracy/oligarchy.
The resolution must and will stand for the sake of democracy.


Does not apply to all member nations in section 1. There are WA members who are not democracies at all, electoral or otherwise.
Ser Aegon Snow: Chief Ambassador of HM Government to the WA.
Ser Dawrin Stone: Assistant Ambassador of HM Government to the WA

Please note that Ser is a title not a name. It denotes that both of these gentlemen have been knighted


We creatively comply with a number of WA resolutions, check out our factbook on the matter if you'd like to know more.

Agreed, and I've declared it illegal for that reason.
It could be re-written to get around that, simply by having it apply to all "democratially elected politicians who are in government" themselves (in which case the fact that some nations don't have those would have no more effect on legality than the fact that some nations are landlocked has on the legality of proposals about maritime matters...).
It's a bit short-sighted, anyhows, though: After all, with this in place democratically elected governments could find it rather difficult to respond to unforteeen problems such as natural disasters or foreign attacks on their nations...

The version in the list at present has fixed that illegality. Now "(1) This Law applies to all Political Candidates who Stands for Election", which is okay even though some member nations don't have elections (just as proposals on maritime matters can be okay although not all member nations have coasts, for example or proposals about the safety of nuclear power-plants can be legal even though some member nations don't use nuclear power).

Weapons Of Mass Destruction Saftey

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

Category: International Security

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Moskava

Recognizing

that humans have developed the ability to easily eradicate the entire human species.
that many nations wish to hold on to weapons of mass destruction(WMD) to deter other nations form taking military action against them or any members in their regions.

Defining Weapons of mass destruction or WMDs are weapons with the ability to end the lives of many people quickly and easily.

Mandating that WA member states store and safely contain any WMDs in at least 50 miles away from any big civilian centers.

Suggesting that WA member states provide bomb shelters in the case of a WMDs strike

Creating the WA WMD Regulation Committee and giving them the following jobs and powers

Limit and regulate the ability of WA member nations to own or use WMDs
Enforce restrictions on WMDs by military force if necessary

Requesting that WA member nations only use WMDs in a responsible way.

This appears, on first glance, to contradict and/or run afoul of any number of current resolutions.

Abolishing Harsh And Racist Slavery

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: Koasta

Slavery, if used in a very calm manner, and in a non racist way, could benefit the nation using the calm slavery. Unfortunately, most nations who use the ancient technique use it in very harsh and racist ways. I, as a nation of the people, want to abolish this harsh way of economic growth. I understand that nations should be able to enforce its economy in the way it wants, but the way slavery is used in modern nations today should be a violation of the rights of a human. So, I ask my fellow nations to join along me, and end the cruel side of this technique, and open a more calm and peaceful side of the ancient art.

Slavery is already illegal, so, bad duplication. Oh, and branding, too.

"Calm slavery"? Seriously?

WA would Initiate a World Minium Wage

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: CommunistAnarchicDemocracy

Whereas the typical lifestyle of wealthy classes of developed nations are dependent on labor and raw materials from developed and developing countries while the civilians and workers who work for full hours to make the said consumer products in may extreme cases cannot afford to live in an acceptable way that is not detrimental and insulting to the 'inalienable' human rights and human dignity,
WA declares the global minimum wage.

(1) The global minimum wage applies to all nation-states and regions. Employers must pay as much as or more than the minimum wage AND regional/national minimum wage.
(2) The global minimum wage (hourly) is calculated by the following equation:
(Minimum Wage per Hour*8*5/7) - wage deduction = the (local) market price for (1.9 liters of water + 8,700 kJ of energy + 70 grams of fats + 2,300 milligrams sodium + 50 grams of protein + 310 grams of complex carbohydrate, rent for basic safe housing per day + minimum monthly spending on clothing + basic public transportation fee per day + retire saving plan + medical insurance)
(3) The governments should impose a tax on corporations that pay minimum wage or any amount of wage that is within the 110% range of minimum wage to any of its employees to implement free basic insurances for minimum wage-employees.
(4) The governments can fine (by percentage of stock) and/or jail employers. If the employer is a multinational corporation, the government may jail or/and fine stockholders and other decision-makers in the corporation who did not oppose exploiting workers.


Illegal on so many grounds. First contradiction of GAR#68 which stipulates that member states will regulate their own economies, this includes minimum wages, if any.

ALLOWS national governments to regulate commerce within their jurisdiction,
==GAR#68

Second, duplicates GAR#344. The intention behind this proposal is to provide for a minimum standard of living (for humans apparently) something that the WA has already legislated on.

Third, the equation is based on human needs and may constitute a real world reference. After all 8700 kJ of energy, 70g of fat, 2.3g sodium, 50g protein, 310 complex carbohydrate may be far above or below the needs of other sapient species.

Fourth, it should be noted that a far less draconian law, and a better written one if I must say, was repealed on this topic already. (GAR#21)

Finally, this whole proposal even if it wasn't illegal on the first two grounds is extremely short sighted, so much so as I'd actually consider it to be "bloody stupid".

We creatively comply with a number of WA resolutions, check out our factbook on the matter if you'd like to know more.

Electrical Car Act

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

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: Automotive

Proposed by: Gintral

The Effect of this act passing will help the environment, and the citizens of a nation

What Is In It For The People is that for each electric car that a family or house hold owns will get a 2.5% tax break of what ever they are paying, though the most amount of tax break will be 10%

This Bill Will Help The Government by not buy as much gasoline to give to the people, which will provide more money to focus towards defense.

Does nothing. Mandates taxes.

Ban The WA

A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.

Category: Political Stability

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: The Liberal Nation of Rapidash

The WA is a complete waste of time. Any proposal that goes through is almost immediately asked to be repealed and 9 times out of 10 is repealed.

The only way to prevent fruitless waste's of time furthermore is to ban the WA.

Blog, no operative clause

Damnatio Memoriae

A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Simeonia

Introduction
Considering that many years have passed since the disappearance of an autocratic and dictatorial nation called Francos Spain and feeling that the new generation is unaware of the serious errors of Francoism, it was decided to make this resolution!

Remembering: that Francos Spain was a nation that brought chaos to the Pacific region and stablished the so called New Pacific Order in 2003.

Aware: that this nation ceased to exist on 14 July of 2004 but is spirit endured through is followers.

Recognizing: all the brave nations that fought agains this despotic autocrat.

Urging that this resolution is passed so that the memory, the horror and all the grave pain inflicted by this nation shall never be forgotten or forgiven and never again a Francos Spain rises again.

Does nothing

Should All Nations Embrace Secularism?

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

This proposal would make all nations require to become secular, and have absolutely no religious favor. This also includes government-funded religious projects and spreading of faith(s). State churches would be obliterated.
Any current religious rulers (including arch-prophets and arch-prophetess's will be removed from power and replaced by a new ruler. There can be no papal orders, divine rule, or other government affiliations with any given faith.
Nations founded around one faith have the choice to drastically change or dare to bid against the World Assembly. This applies to Emirates, Sultanates, Holy Sees, Serene Republics, Theocracies, and Divine States.

Written like a blogposal. Ideological ban.
