This is especially amusing, and certainly wouldn’t ever be abused.

Death Sentence Legal?
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.
Category: Social Justice
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: DarkenErmine
sorry could not find right category
The Constitution Allows For The Application Of The Death Penalty
- There were, most notably in the 1960s, several attempts made to declare the use of the death penalty unconstitutional based on the fact that it was ‘ cruel and unusual’ and therefore contrary to the Eighth Amendment. The 1958 Supreme Court case of Trop V Dulles while not a death penalty case interpreted the Eighth Amendment as containing an
‘evolving standard of decency that marked the progress of a maturing society’. This statement was used as a basis for the abolitionist campaign
The Death Penalty Allows The State To Exact Appropriate Retribution, Criminals Must Face The Consequences Of Their Actions
-We are taught (or at least we should be) from our earliest years that actions have consequences. Touching a hot stove burns your hand, annoying your parent causes them to punish you etc. Every parent knows that failing to link actions to consequences leads to children who do what they want when they want. The same holds true for adults. We pay our taxes because we don’t want to face the consequences of not doing so. Consequences bring order to our society. The same holds true for violent and dangerous crimes, where someone acts in such a way as to take the life of another they have to be punished, they have to expect retribution, they have to pay the price of their actions and it should be in equal measure.
IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE A PAINFUL AND CRUEL END

Repeal: “Greenhouse Gas Cap And Trade Program ”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#445
Proposed by: The Vetro Islands
General Assembly Resolution #445 “Greenhouse Gas Cap and Trade Program ” (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses - Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
World Assembly. A recent program submitted by the nation Ransium, has recently made it onto the WA floor, and was passed into law. But, that bill was unnecessary in more than one way. For starters, the mentioned green-house gasses, have no current hold on world weather. In fact, the affects are so minuscule they've been only noticed recently, although the green house effect has been happening for around two hundred years. So begs the question, how many more years until the next discovery? Three hundred? Four? We're already feeling the negative affects of this bill. The auto and power industry are being forced to hold back on their production due to this bill, and economies of countries just starting out are not faring well. I propose a complete repeal of the Greenhouse Gas Cap and Trade Program. Although I offer no alternative, I'm sure that the nations of this beautiful world will decide on a new piece of legislation that I cannot even begin to imagine.
Goodnight, God bless you all, and God bless Enadia!

Crack Down On Crime, Save Lives And Time!
A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.
Category: Political Stability
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Alamka
There is much crime around the worlds we live in, and I believe more nations should take my view, where we need to strengthen our police force and military. There are raids and terrorists everywhere... An authoritarian world would really help all of us, and would reduce crime a lot. This is short and is my first proposal, and I hope you guys can support me in my plan to make my world a safer, more equal place to live. Everyone deserves a roof over their head, and a strong leader ready to take the public's interest. Investing in the Military and Law and Order is, in my opinion, one of the greatest ideas. It could also help us trade our arms and strengthen our economies. I wish that we can all help each other reach a safe, and strengthened world.

PROHIBITING FREE ENERGY LAW
A resolution to enact uniform standards that protect workers, consumers, and the general public.
Category: Regulation
Area of Effect: Energy
Proposed by: Heaven Fire
There has been a growing trend of concerns regarding the promise of "Free Energy". Such energy does not exist. Every man-made device, especially electrical inventions, will always require a main fuelenergy source. There is no "getting around" this fact. Just as the world was promised "freedom" within their enslaved lives, this relatively "new" promise of "free energy" has been taking quite a foothold world wide within both the scientifically indoctrinated community as well as within our truth community. Only you will be able to discern for yourself, your own conclusion regarding this topic, however never forget that the World Order always seeks infinite ways to distract you from what truly matters most, utilizing such fake promises of a "heaven" in religion, "freedom" in politics, "peace" in history, or "free energy" in science. It's all part a much larger game played on both your mind as well as your spirit (emotions).
To all the members of The World Assembly we send this proposal of banning using the qoutes of "free energy" in media, books, stoping all founding of sience projects that consern "free energy" study and experiments.
Asking all the members to wote for this law and help us eradicate the "free energy" idea from our world, from our lives. We must work together so this false concept can be forgoten.
Only energy is energy that we make, and it's not free, not given to us, not take from nature, all the energy that we have we made.

I think that the meaning is understood widely enough for it to be legal.Arasi Luvasa wrote:Would the 'gold standard' be a real-life reference? It is not necessarily a standard used by all nations
That would not be an Ideological ban on dictatorships, any more than requiring them to allow freedom of expression or freedom of assembly would be, and in my opinion it wouldn't be one on communist/socialist governments anyway: After all, apart from anything else, nothing there would bar them from abolishing currency (and banning private ownership of gold) altogether...Jebslund wrote:That something would be at least one, possibly two, Ideological Ban(s) (Communism/Socialism is the one that stands out, given the lack of the State planning the economy, as well as a ban on dictatorships by way of explicitly demanding the State give up the "right of monetary control"),
Jebslund wrote:with a side helping of an arguable attempt to affect nonmember nations (Clause I does not specify member nations as Clause II does, and specifically states "All nations of the world", explicitly naming "exists in the world=True" as the group targeted, as opposed to "All nations" full stop, in Clause III, that can be interpreted as implying "all *member* nations".).

I think that that's basically it. The only thing that the GA as such can actually do OOC at present is vote on proposed resolutions, with no coded mechanism in existence for it to do anything else, and it's preferable to leave the OOC and IC versions as similar to each other as possible in order to reduce confusion.Imperium Anglorum wrote:You would interpret grant of authority to the General Assembly to be game mechanics? But if we grant that same authority to a committee, itself created by the General Assembly, it is not game mechanics? What's your justification for that? I can think of one at least somewhat reasonable one, but wholly OOC, that it is preferable to make it clear that the General Assembly (the same name as the IC GA, which can do anything) with which players interact cannot in fact do such things.

Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Elijaia
Realizing the immorality of the death penalty.
Recognizing the hypocrisy of killing someone for killing someone.
Hoping this legislation cuts down on the executions worldwide.
Bans any form of execution, including the electric chair, lethal injection, hanging, or firing squad by any World Assembly Member.
Condemns all countries, WA members or not, that use the Death Penalty, and places sanctions on any countries still executing people.
Ends death row effective immediately, and puts anyone on death row into an ordinary prison.
Seems to explicitly want to effect both WA and non-WA nations.

Defines the meaning of the word "Hi" as: "A way to greet someone on informal situations"
Mandates that governments who restrict the usage of the word "Hi" should face severe sanctions by the international community.

I'd consider the "condemns" bit okay, as it doesn't really do anything (presuming that it doesn't mean SC-type condemnations, anyway...), and telling member nations to place sanctions on non-member nations (which I presume is how that clause is meant to work) if those non-members don't meet certain standards has been ruled as okay in the past as well...
However, i'm calling it illegal for contradiction of existing GA legislation: We're explicitly allowed one capital case per one million people per year, per member nation, after all...
