World Assembly, Thinking of great world powers, it has occurred to me to add a law against the abandonment of animals in the streets. It would be something very simple and we would avoid such ugly and sad situations. The following would be fulfilled:
1- Anyone who wants to abandon an animal for any reason would have two options:
A) Leave it with a family that is known to take care of them
B) Leave it in an animal adoption center
2-If for any reason neither A nor B of point 1 is met, leaving him in a street situation or animal abuse would imply a large fine plus a crime of animal abuse
3-The financial fine would vary depending on the seriousness of the matter. From the severity of issue 1 to 3:
I- Abandon it in a habitat not recommended for the living being
II- Leave it in a street situation
III- Animal abuse home
Thanks for reading, Neurks Boodal

Act Of 2021
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.

Category: International Security

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Free Domelec Gorjicartlan island

BE IT RESOLVED THAT THESE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD ASSEMBLED
CONSIDERING that by boosting police and military budgets helps the international community to stop riots
ASTONISHED that other nations barely spends their economy on defense,law and order
HEREBY tasks nations:
1. To boost military and police budgets
2.Boost salaries for the police and soldiers
3. and spend more on the arms manufacturing industry
the World Assembly and its nations hereby enactes the act of 2021


I'm thinking this specifically falls afoul of the rules on the basis of metagaming.

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

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: All Businesses - Strong

Proposed by: Gardarea

Understanding that fossil fuels can affect the environment.
Believing that by limiting fossil fuels, the environment will be saved for future people
Concerned that by letting businesses use as much fossil fuels as they want, they will destroy the environment.

Potential Laws in this act

1. Increases Fossil Fuel Safety standards on businesses
2. Cracking down on businesses that do not meet the current or new standards.
3. Understand that developing countries need fossil fuels to survive.


The 'potential laws' makes it seem like they intend to amend things later, and so I'd say this law does nothing on its own.

Media plays very important part in our everyday life-from politics, to entertainment. But a lot of countries impose all sorts of regulations on it. Sometimes, those regulations are justified, like banning newspapers that mislead the public. But often leaders ban TV programs, newspapers, websites, for little, or no reason, like criticism of the government. This is the violation of the freedom of the press and of the right to free speech.

To protect those rights, this proposal will:
1. Prevent different sorts of press and media (like internet, oppositions' TV programs/newspapers, etc.) from being banned, by intervening (first economically, then, if nothing is being done, militarily) into the country, that banned/blocked/etc. any type of media, without a clear, or justified reason.
2. Prevent crackdowns on free speech, by placing sanctions and embargoes, on countries that violate rights to the free speech press, etc.

Effects this proposal will have:
1. Nations that do not respect the right to the free speech, will have to change their policy, to avoid economic, and military sanctions.
2. Nations that currently have internet banned, and no political freedom, will have internet re-introduced to the country (through issues), and will have to rase level of political expression to average (also through issues), or the will have economical, sanctions imposed. Those nations that will continue resist this proposal after the implementation of economic sanctions, will face military sanctions.

Metagaming

Also probably breaking some rule by imposing "military intervention into the country that banned/blocked/etc. any type of media." Also states that those who "continue to resist this proposal" will face "military sanctions"

Repeal: “Stock Exchanges And Foreign Investment”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#401

General Assembly Resolution #401 “Stock Exchanges and Foreign investment” (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Recognizing that free trade, as a concept and policy, can only be conducted with the mutual consent of two or more parties.
Acknowledging that free trade via stock as defined by "Stock Exchanges and Foreign Investment" is a financial transaction undertaken by sovereign states.
1. Repeals General Assembly Resolution #401; "Stock Echanges and Foreign Investment"

Honest Mistake, as it seems this repeal doesn't actually make an argument for why the proposal should be repealed? Or am I missing something?

You can repeal a resolution by means of general statements. Eg Repeal "Freedom of expression", which stated basically that unfettered corporate speech was bad and then repealed. Sometimes a repeal is oblique in its relation to the target. It is not necessarily an honest mistake to be oblique.

Tsaivao wrote:Also probably breaking some rule by imposing "military intervention into the country that banned/blocked/etc. any type of media." Also states that those who "continue to resist this proposal" will face "military sanctions"

There is no longer any 'no WA army/police' rule. Today, such a prohibition emerges only from GA 2's neutrality clause.

"arguably not understandable English". I think I understand it. "duplications". Of what? "possible contradictions". Of what? Re "All resolutions take effect immediately": is this a rule still enforced? Because we've already got the legal fiction in the leaded fuel resolution of 'Nations must start at once to do X in five years', it doesn't seem that radical to dispose of it.

Duplicates Civil Rights Charter at the very least, that's the only one I can specifically recall. Considering the amount of civil rights resolutions around these days, I'm sure there are others. Contradictions: I made this point because of the " may not interfere on business" part which seems to contradict practically anything relating to regulating businesses, but on a second look at this that's probably incorrect because it's talking about national governments.

As for the all resolutions take effect immediately, I haven't actually seen it enforced but I've seen Sep mention such a rule in a proposal thread somewhere that included "takes effect in x."

Internet Protection Act
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.

Category: Furtherment of Democracy

Strength: Strong

Proposed by: CCCP 2 0

Every person has the right to free speech. But this right is severely undermined in many countries. To suppress this right, many countries ban internet. This prevents many people from expressing themselves, and accessing information. Also, banning internet may easily make democracy die off, because it makes much easer for governments to control media, and information. To prevent this from happening, Internet Protection Act (IPA) will protect various media sources by:

1. Preventing governments from banning Internet.
2. Preventing governments from shutting down independent newspapers, TV channels, etc.

If any government will refuse to comply under IPA, international community will enforce economic sanctions and embargoes on that particular country. If it will continue to resist, WA will have full rights to military intervention to enforce IPA.

Doesn't the bolded part go against GA rules of gameplay mechanics?

The Modern World Wide Industrial Revolution, MWWIR
A resolution to develop industry around the world.

Category: Advancement of Industry

Area of Effect: Commercial Enterprise

Proposed by: Andixum

This proposal, in its form, is to bring together nations of the world and open up their closed economies and together as nations advance our industrial production to create the most modern and advanced industrial world in history. We will stand together to create this advancement and create industries that were seen as not possible, we will create new markets and be known as the nations that created the most advanced civilization to ever live on Earth.

This proposal will not force nations to cooperate, but if chosen to cooperate the industries can purchase valuable information and intellectual property. Innovation can be sold on a world wide level. Countries and nations if chosen to cooperate can create and innovate and create a better world. No nation shall be left to be underdeveloped in this proposal. Any developing nation can ask for intellectual and physical property and inventions that can be bought to develop their economy and develop their nation.

This proposal, in its form, will create a world wide industrial board with head of nations to come together and show and cooperate industrial innovation and creation so that the world can see for its self what it can be capable of doing.

I'm not sure if this duplicates previous resolutions, but the broad topic area suggests it does.

The World Assembly should be able to send police officers into WA countries, for people in some countries with high crime rates are obviously not safe enough. Crimes like murder, kidnapping, and other highly illegal crimes should be completely outlawed. In anarchic nations, there are mass murderers who have not been punished at all.

I just so happen to think that this is completely unacceptable in the great countries of NationStates. Countries are much better than this. No punishments for mass murderers?

General Assembly Resolution #553 “Protecting Native Prairies and Grasslands” (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses - Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

The 5th Bartelsic Empire proposes to repeal the aforementioned enactment for reasons as stated:
- The 5th Bartelsic Empire and its environment is considered to be a desolate and a barren wasteland with little to no grasslands. By having to act in compliance with this bill the only outcome will be increase costs for the government without any return on investment.
- The 5th Bartelsic Empire is a new nation and does not have the needed funding in order to properly ascertain any data for submission when requested. This bill would then be considered as discriminatory against newer and poor countries.

Due to the reasons listed above the legislature of The 5th Bartelsic Empire formally emplores a repeal on this newly found law.

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

Category: International Security

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Avilglerosia

Nations across the world have always been raiding each other. This has been going on since man has made the simple spear. Alas, some regions crumble very easily, whilst others put up very stiff resistance. Now, when a region gets raided, they usually can't defend themselves because of their military. It isn't strong enough to withstand an attack. Usually, poor regions don't have the resources and manpower to defend themselves since they're...well, poor. Well, this needs to change. A resolution needs to be passed stating that every country and region should have compulsory military service and must have a minimum amount of government money set aside for Defense purposes. Therefore, poor regions and countries can actually have a chance to defend themselves and their interests from enemy nations. But what if the poor regions and countries can't afford Defense tech ? Well, other nations in that region will provide aid to help them withstand attacks from other nations. This proposal must pass in order for other regions and nations to have a fighting chance to defend themselves and to conquer others!

No operative clause, maybe a smidge of metagaming?

Section 54 (a) of what? Is this taken from something else?

Also: 'should' is used as operative terms, therefore I think that falls under 'doesn't do shit'.
