Illegal GA Proposals 2nd edition

[Frisbeeteria]

wrong forum. You want the security council. So, *Really* wrong category

Also, it's always a bad idea to multi so you can post a proposal. This is far more common that it should be, given that the proposal is virtually always illegal.

[Bears Armed]

Blogging, also isn't this covered already in a more expansive resolution? Oh yes also RL reffrences.

Branding, too.

Here's the full list of reasons that I gave for calling it illegal:

Illegal — Proposal Basics (Format: Proposals must be written as laws); Duplication and contradiction of existing legislation (see GA Resolution # 35); arguably Ideological Ban (by forcing member nations to allow ANY voting); Meta-gaming (that "Condemn" with a capital 'C' seems to refer to the SC function); RL references; Branding (use of I"; proposals must be written from the viewpoint of the WA as a whole, rather than that of an individual nation or person, and can't even MENTION any individual nation or person); No Operative Clause ("This proposal is to" and "let's see if this passes" don't actually DO anything).

Almost a textbook case of what not to do...

THE PEOPLE

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Civil Rights

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: The Endorian state

The World Authority recognises each nations sovereignty, as a result each nation is free to decide the laws within their borders. However there is one thing that links every nation within this world, people.

Therefor it is imperative that people, no matter thier identity, must have basic rights.

As a result this constitution shall outline the minimum political and social liberties that every person is entitled to.

A) Every person must have the right to decide their own lives, unimpeded by government or other authorities.

B) Every person must have the right to voice their opinions in a peacefull manner. Regardless of that voices message or intent.

The World Authority should truly beleive in these words. As this constitution will help bring liberty to those which have not yet tasted it's sweetness.

Contradiction and/or duplication?

Combating Desertification

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

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: Logging

Proposed by: Sarr land

The General Assembly,

Aware of the natural process of desertification which is defined as the process by which fertile land becomes desert, typically as a result of drought, deforestation, or inappropriate agriculture,

Acknowledging the urgency of protecting regions and countries conflicting with the spread of desertification,

Noting the lack of attention spread around this issue,

Further noting the absence of any institution created by the GA tasked with combating desertification,

Understanding that desertification is a natural process that isn’t encouraged by one distinct source but many,

Reaffirming that desertification can be fought by planting trees and enriching/maintaining strips of land that act as ‘buffers’,

Calls upon the Assembly to,

1. Establish an institution known as the Center of Desertification Preventative Initiative (CDPI),

2. Encourage member regions and nations to contribute monetary resources and willing manpower to the CDPI,

3. Define the CDPI as an entity that is an extension of the World Assembly and follows any/all regulations and resolutions set by the World Assembly,

4. Prioritize CDPI attention on the deeply affected nations that ask for CDPI care and follow the World Assembly,

5. Reassure its members that the CDPI is not a foreign occupier and is subject to the laws of any/every nation it operates in,

6. Spread awareness of the consequences of desertification,

7. Do its duty of protecting its member states/regions by declaring the creation of the CDPI.

Here's another textbook "What not to do" example, which was probably discarded before most of you saw it:

Social Justice
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.

Category: Social Justice
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Capitalistic Russia

So when they accuse someone of something this big you would think they would have some hard proof but do they no!
I think they are just afraid of him and they want to kick him out because he's a liked representative and he's to popular and has to much "power". Blasphemy I say it's all bullshit I say he's a good citizen and so what if he has a diplomatic relationship and nukes someone. 'Ahem' Example, America and Russia were allies in World War Two and they went into the cold war the race to stockpile nukes and aim them at each other. But in the end of the dispute we came out stronger and more or less diplomatic partners so... so what if he has nukes it his job and priority to protect his region or regions and the nations inside of them.

This concludes my proposal JUST SHUT IT DOWN.

Heealthcare

A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.

Category: Health

Area of Effect: Healthcare

Proposed by: Capitalistic Russia

We as a community think that we should have healthcare right?

Well I think it should be mandatory for everyone to at least have 20 to 25 percent of their funds to go to healthcare.

I also think healthcare should not be so expensive for us countries that citizens only get about 30 grand a year from various jobs such as mining, farming of any sort, the factories and the military men and women. And they may not be able to afford it.

As a communist state I think everyone should get equal shares, but since i'm also a capitalist I'm not a greedy overlord and not one person works harder or less for money if they do they get paid less if they dont they get paid more.

I think the world as a whole should work n this and i hope with gets passed. Thank you, Capitalistic Russia.

Sasquatch Protection Act

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

Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses - Mild
Proposed by: South Sulphur
Whereas, there is evidence to indicate the possible existence of an undiscovered species a primate mammal variously described as Bigfoot, Sasquatch, an ape-like creature or a subspecies of Homo Sapiens.

Whereas, reported recent and past sightings, research by anthropologists, primatologists, biologists, forensic experts, cryptozoologists, independent organizations, private individuals and multiple researchers support this possibility.

Whereas, the absence of specific laws covering the slaying, taking, trapping or harassing of said specimens encourages laxity in the use of firearms and other deadly devices and poses a clear and present threat to the safety and well-being of persons living or traveling within the boundaries of the creatures habitat as well as to the creatures themselves.

Whereas, for the safety of all, the carrying or dispersing of firearms requires a sense of responsibility to all surrounding individuals and animals. It is the shooters full responsibility to correctly identify the species before the taking of aim and or the killing of a species, therefore ignorance will not absolve the shooter of said charges.
Whereas, be it resolved that any premeditated, willful and wanton slaying harassing or any malicious activities upon such creature shall be deemed a felony punishable by a fine not to exceed One hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and/or imprisonment, not to exceed ten (10) years.

Whereas, in the event of the slaying or capture of said creature any and all (moneys) proceeds and revenues shall be donated to a state college for future studies and or the protection of said creatures. The rights and physical possession to the said creature shall also be immediately donated to a state college, for further studies.

Repeal: “Reproductive Freedoms”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#286

Proposed by: Karzekistan

General Assembly Resolution #286 “Reproductive Freedoms” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

General Assembly #286; "Reproductive Freedoms" should be repealed on the basis that this resolution is a violation of national sovereignty, and it fails to understand the different situations, cultures, and beliefs of the peoples the resolution claims to protect. It is the right of the state to decide what laws it shall enact, not the General Assembly, for it cannot hope to understand all of which it governs regarding enforcing law onto sovereign states.

Natsov only, I want a repeal of this nature to go through but one that actually deals with the problems. Well one could also add religious or cultural sovereignty as well, regardless only based on violating sovereignty.

The Big Nibba Proposal
A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.

Category: Moral Decency

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Me-Ow

This World Assembly,

Recognizing that certain legal persons may currently take offense to the term,

Noting that the word "Nibba" is far enough detached from its offensive ancestral roots (to which will be merely alluded),

Advocating that each World Assembly member become more culturally united, while still distinguishable, so as to make friendlier relations between each member-region,

Hereby requires that each member of the World Assembly addresses fellow members with the prefix ""Big Nibba."
Each member may choose to keep their current title as well (e.g., king, sultan, dictator, president, prime minister), but it must follow the prefix "Big Nibba."

I would assume this is in the wring category, also not sure if it would be considered to actually affect member nations. Also seems to be a joke proposal. Not sure if it would be considered meta gaming.

Nuclear weapons are dangerous and should be banned

No Operative Clause, Does Not Address the Target Resolution, Proposal Formatting.

Side note: I would *hope* bombs and missiles are dangerous... The whole idea of them is to kill the poor sods they're dropped on/fired at. Not much use in firing a missile that just glares and thinks angry thoughts at the enemy, now is there?

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

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: All Businesses - Mild

Proposed by: Discaria

Expressing concern about the documented environmental degradation and
the negative impact on nature resulting from human activity,

Recognizing that gross domestic product is not an adequate indicator for
measuring environmental degradation resulting from human activity,

Recognizing also that many ancient civilizations and indigenous cultures have
a rich history of understanding the symbiotic connection between human beings and
nature that fosters a mutually beneficial relationship,

Recognizing further the work undertaken by civil society, academia and
scientists in regard to signalling the precariousness of life on Earth, as well as their
efforts to devise a more sustainable model for production and consumption,

Considering that sustainable development is a holistic concept that requires
the strengthening of interdisciplinary linkages in the different branches of
knowledge,

Request that WA delegates make efforts towards reversing the degradation of the environment.

No operative clause, or at the very least does nothing.

Agreed. At the very least, it needs to make its request of the member nations rather than the WA delegates. Also, as the rules are currently interpreted, mentioning the WA delegates counts as meta-gaming... Oh, and "Earth" is a RL Reference because NS nations don't have to be on "Earth"...

Refugee Protection Act
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Civil Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Devary

The World Assembly,
There has been an increase in nations that have refused refugees by denying immigration. This proposal aims to help refugees (and many more) find safety. It is known and is true.

This is a moral sin that must be taken into account. A country should take action on helping refugees, as they are likely fleeing for a reason, such as a civil war.

This proposal is a call to protect refugees. It is a call to nations that care and would be willing to help. As such, this would be a triumph for civil rights.

This is what this proposal states:
I: Refugees shall be accepted at borders, whether they have filled all the requirements or not.
II: Refugees, if turned down, must be contacted and then sent to the nearest border checkpoint. From then on, the individual(s) will be sent to a refugee center. They will thenforth be take to a naturalization center and enter the process.
III: Under no circumstances should a refugee be harmed while crossing a border. To do so will result in a hefty fine for the nation involved.
IIII: Refugees will become citizens directly after naturalization. No waits, delays, or exceptions.
V: If a refugee commits a heinous enough crime, they must be deported and may be taken care of in their own country.
VI: A refugee from a country you're at warwith must be accepted. There can be no exceptions.

This proposal is one that would greatly improve outlooks on the World Assembly. It is of hope it will be approved and accepted.
