Nonpartisan Elections Act
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Civil Rights
Strength: Mild
Proposed by: Akehurstland

The Nations of the World Assembly,

CONVINCED that political partisanship in elections should be outlawed by the State.

CONVINCED that political partisanship is creating more problems than solving.

BELIEVING nonpartisan elections can reduce crime by removing the party labels candidates
have.

BELIEVING politicians should be voted for based on merit and not their political affiliation.

The following articles are requirements, not suggestions.

Article 1
(a) Politicians and political candidates can still express their political affiliation but it will not be labeled next to their name at voting booths.
(b) Politicians who are elected into office cannot change their title to label themselves as a part of a political party.
(c) Political candidates must provide a brief description of themselves to be shown for the benefit of voters at voting booths. Three policies the candidate supports and three policies the candidate does not support must be included in addition to the brief description.

Article 2
(a) Voters will compulsorily vote for candidates running for election by first choosing the candidate they want to vote for and second by rating the top five leadership abilities in a political candidate.
(b) The top five leadership abilities will be chosen by a follow up proposal to the General Assembly after this proposal is submitted.
(c) Any nation willing to propose five leadership abilities that voters will vote on may do so as long as the proposal is submitted no longer than two days after this proposal to the General Assembly. The five leadership abilities must be added to Article two section g after future follow up proposals.
(d) The top five chosen leadership abilities will be voted on a scale of one to ten to compose a candidate merit score.
(e) The candidate with the highest number of votes and/or the highest merit score will be the winner for each individual election.
(f) The electoral college for all nations will be abolished.
(g)

GenSec Status: ILLEGAL — HELD
Illegal (1): Bears Armed
Seconds ago: Bears Armed: Illegal — Category incorrect (Restricting a nation's ability to choose & change its own form of government is NOT 'Civil Rights': in NS terms it is probably 'Political Stability'); Meta-gaming (in thsi case, the fact that Articles 2.a-c. would REQUIRE further GA action, which resolutions can't do... and the "follow up proposal" that you mention there would almost certainly be illegal under the 'House of Cards': in fact, those clauses arguably make THIS proposal illegal under that rule!)... and resolutions cannot be amended once passed, so filling-out Article 2.g. as you specify wouldn't be possible anyway. If you want to continue with this project then I suggest strongly that you take it to the GA forum for re-drafting &d feedback, but I advise you in advance that getting anything like this getting passed would probably require a miracle.

General Assembly Proposal
ID: kyundao_1581422799

Abolition Of Tariffs Act
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.

Category: Free Trade
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Kyundao
The Republic of Kyundao recognizes that tariffs are detrimental to free trade and free markets, hence this proposal. To elaborate, the reasoning goes as follows:

Tariffs, as taxes on exports and imports, can be lowered or raised at any time. This has the potential for abuse as any member of the World Assembly who harbors an intense hatred towards other members regardless of various differences can use tariffs as weapons against the member nations being targeted. Additionally, tariffs would discourage businesses and traders from doing business in nations who have tariffs in place, harming both economic growth and the spread of ideas that member nations may need in the future.

Tariffs, if applied to exports, would also prevent domestic producers and businesses from selling their products abroad whether those products be food or raw materials that other nations may need. In the process, this would not only create what would essentially be economic isolation, but it would diplomatically alienate one member of the World Assembly from its allies as well. Even worse, such tariffs would also result in member nations suffering from humanitarian crises.

With this in mind, it is in the best interests of all members of the World Assembly to do away with tariffs completely.

Workers Rights
A resolution to develop industry around the world.

Category: Advancement of Industry

Area of Effect: Labor Deregulation

Proposed by: Bagstrom

After observing the treatment of workers in most countries, legislation should be passed to sanction the fair treatment of workers nearby. This should establish several rights that will be directed towards the workforce of the world.

1. Establish a minimum wage; each country will decide on it’s minimum wage in the currency that is in place in that particular country.

2. Give workers healthcare; workers of all professions deserve to be given the right to healthcare

3. Workers should be given less hours a day; reduce the hours of workers to give them ample time to be with family or other matters

4. Give workers vacation days; these can be utilized to take breaks from the workplace as they choose

Area of effect is wrong based on the content: "labor deregulation"...

Illegal - Category/Area of Effect incorrect (This is not DEregulation...); No Operative Clause (because should" doesn't DO anything); and if it DID do things then there would be significant overlap with existing resolutions...

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#9

Proposed by: Trumpernia

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

Stronger Leaders And Elections
A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.

Category: Political Stability
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Catowe
It has come to my attention that many leaders don’t have much control over their nations. Sometimes I will see states with total and complete freedoms. Although I am not arguing that we take people’s rights away I do believe there needs to be some order and rules.

My nation will be used as an example of what others should become. I am a state that is ran by one figure head and is in complete control until they die.

I am not saying that we all must have a political system like this but I do think that having a powerful leader is important.

Here are some options I am suggesting
1. Have a pyramid system where one person has control and than the power level goes down like a triangle until you get to the base, the homeless
2. Have rules on elections like how you must be a legal citizen of the state to run or how you must be old enough
3. Keep it in the family you as a leader but make sure you and your loved ones stay in control
4. This is my favorite and believe that every country should follow: Before passing the leader should make a legal document of the top three people they want in charge, after passing one of these people will take control and become the new leader

I hope you consider these becoming the new options for elections and who has the power. I know the nations with more freedom might disagree with me but please think about the crimes that happen in your own home, your state. Please put the right people in power and make these states better.

I really do hope you consider this, it will greatly benefit the law and order of countries

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

The World Assembly,

ACKNOWLEDGING that the World Assembly fundamentally deserves an international headquarters for the sake of globalized diplomacy.

DECRYING the creation of the bureaucratic mandate system, the World Assembly Office of Building Management, introduced by GA Res. #8.

BELIEVING in the expectancy of etiquette, which is lacking in multiple facets of GA Res. #8, within the World Assembly.

UNDERLINING that the passage of GA Res. #8 was by a narrow vote of 4,918 to 4,499.

CONSIDERING the integrity of the resolution to be further compromised as the architect, Omigodtheykilledkenny, has since been condemned under Security Council Resolution #17 on the basis of corruption and defiance of General Assembly ordinance.

APPALLED that the ratification of GA Res. #8 has endured for nearly twelve years and must not stand from this moment further if the World Assembly is to remain a thoroughly respectable delegation.

DEMANDING that the existing World Assembly Headquarters, established by GA Res. #8, must be decommissioned immediately then eventually replaced with an incorruptible and honorable successor.

Also branding for mentioning a nation's name.
The same question for the votes might be asked for the '12 years'? Is IC time equal to OOC time?

Repeals can ONLY Repeal. You could be HOPING for a replacement, but that "DEMANDING" clause crosses the line. Also, you can't mention the SC in GA proposals (which counts as Meta-gaming). Under current interpretation of the rules, even mentioning the target's authoring nation by name almost certainly falls under 'Branding'. And although I personally am not bothered by your inclusion of voting numbers, or the length of [RL] time since the target passed, I advise you that other GenSec members might disagree on these points. If you want to continue with this project then I suggest strongly that you take it to the GA forum for re-drafting & feedback.
