New Resolution Proposal {WA}

Postby Steelers0525 » Thu Nov 17, 2016 7:46 pm

Hello,

My new World Assembly Resolution has just been submitted and I was hoping that you could approve it. The resolution is called The Environmental Act. What it does is limit the mining and automotive industries in hope to bring the global Environment up.

You're probably asking why is the environment important?

The environment is important because with a terrible environment, your nation is more prone to “Super natural” disasters which are disasters which normally do not happen. For example acid rain. Disasters like this are dangerous to the citizens of your country, and the infrastructure within it.

You can view the proposal here (This is also where it can be approved):page=UN_proposal/council=1?start=5

Hopefully you take the time to read through my resolution and consider approving it.

Thanks Delegate,
The Rubik’s Cube Solving Nation of Steelers0525

If you want to view the proposal scroll down:



The Environmental Act hopes to fix up the destroyed environments that plague the countries that they are in. This act will achieve that as long is the WA accepts this resolution. The resolution is conducted as follows:


Understands That all nations have and should have complete control over their government, only voting for resolutions in the WA that agree with what they believe in or if it should be passed for the greater good, even if it might not benefit them.


Realizes That close to fifty percent of nations have either a poor or completely destroyed environment. Which adds the risk of damaging the nation’s infrastructure and industries from environmental disasters.


Hopes That nations care about their environment, as it has a global impact. If in the environment is terrible the odds of all industry infrastructure being destroyed by things such as acid rain are super likely.


Goals The goal of this resolution is to improve the environmental status of all nations around the world.


Recognizes That this is a very hard task to accomplish however it is reachable. Here is how:
Mining and Refining industries can either be reduced or changed to have more regulations
Automotive industry can either be reduced or changed to have more regulations
Government spend can increase their spending on the topic
New companies can be created to boost ecotourism


Plan This resolution would make it so nations must either reduce their mining and automotive industry spendings or must pass laws to put regulations on how they can/cannot contaminate the air and water. Which can be fixed at a low cost. Air and water waste filters are all that are required by this act.
Next nations must increase their government spending on their environmental protection. To either 1.5% or by 0.5% if 1.5% is already being spent on the environment. This will fix the destroyed environments and bring the poor quality ones to ones which a internationally accepted standard.
Last nations can create an ecotourism company which will
Advertize environmental protection
Generate taxable funds for the government
Increase tourism to your nation


Achieves This will ultimately increase the environmental beauty of all of the nations of the world. It will also have a positive effect on the tourism industry. It will also make it so environmental disasters are less likely to occur.


Wishes Nations to exceeded the regulations if they are financially able to. It would provide a boost in the tourism industry. In addition other industries will not ever be damaged from environmental causes.

I think you should read this: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=159348
And look over the list of passed resolutions to get an idea about what GA resolutions look like: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=30

A note, GA resolutions cannot contradict or duplicate prior GA resolutions, but people who are more familiar with GA environmental legislation would be better than me at discussing possibilities for contradiction and duplication.



Plan This resolution would make it so nations must either reduce their mining and automotive industry spendings or must pass laws to put regulations on how they can/cannot contaminate the air and water. Which can be fixed at a low cost. Air and water waste filters are all that are required by this act.

PARSONS: Air and water waste filters are all that are required by this proposal? I don't entirely believe this. But prima facie, explain to me how these air filters would effect meaningful improvement of the environment? Similarly, absent a centralised wastewater disposal system, how would water filters operate? Would they not be extraordinarily expensive without the returns to scale that integration of filters in wastewater plans provide?

Next nations must increase their government spending on their environmental protection. To either 1.5% or by 0.5% if 1.5% is already being spent on the environment.

PARSONS: How? Where would this money come from? (Parsons looks at the cameras recording the discussion, addressing posterity, in a stern tone) This is why we proposed National Economic Freedoms and those other tax-spending bills we have supported for years. But everyone was too scared.

This will fix the destroyed environments and bring the poor quality ones to ones which a internationally accepted standard.

PARSONS: How? In what way are these filters the meaningful tipping point between good and poor environments? Or absent that, how would these filters improve the environment to such a level that it would suddenly come to an internationally accepted standard?

Last nations can create an ecotourism company which will
Advertize environmental protection
Generate taxable funds for the government
Increase tourism to your nation

PARSONS: Governments can already do this. Things not legislated upon by the World Assembly are intrinsically left up for member nations to decide. Given that there is nothing preventing the establishment of an eco-tourism company, nations can do what they will on the topic.

Wishes Nations to exceeded the regulations if they are financially able to. It would provide a boost in the tourism industry. In addition other industries will not ever be damaged from environmental causes.

OOC: I would call this both category and area-of-effect violation (in addition to all the other problems). Also possibly game mechanics or meta-gaming violations, because of the mention of WA resolution voting, and the whole "half of nations have bad environment" and percentages spent on environment, both of which seem to refer to gameside things.

Your chosen area-of-effect (AoE) is Mining, yet you also talk about Automotive Industry in at least equal amounts and don't seem to actually place restrictions on either, merely mentioning that nations can put in restrictions.

Then you jump categories into Advancement of Industry (the polar opposite from Environmental) by talking about ecotourism and starting companies for it, and increasing tourism. Those, in addition to mentioning "environmental beauty" make me again think you're actually talking about gameside stats, not anything the GA could legislate on.

And then the "other industries will not ever be damaged from environmental causes" sounds like you're trying to block off further resolutions in the Environmental category, which would probably be enough to make this illegal all on its own.

I suggest you make a Getting Help Request and ask the mods to pull this off the submissions list, since this is illegal on so many levels, and submitting too many illegal proposals can get you ejected from the WA.

Your proposal attempt is a prime example of why new authors should post their proposal drafts on this forum well before even thinking of submitting, because we could've pointed out the issues beforehand, and you wouldn't have had to bother the mods at all.

I would agree with that assessment. The author need to either choose to regulate mining, or the automotive industry. Not both in the same proposal.
