This act will formally declare Stolen Valor a criminal offense worldwide. However, the punishment(s) of this crime shall be decided by each nation individually.

OOC: The biggest issue is that a lot of us don't see the international aspect, because it's just dealing with your own citizens claiming soldier status in your own military, fighting in your own wars. One way to make it an international issue would be to make it illegal to claim service in another country's military, or you can write a proposal about international cooperation in litigating "stolen valor" cases, etc. The point is just that it needs to cross borders to be an international issue.

"Ambassador," Blackbourne begins, "those freedoms are in place by the World Assembly to protect the rights of your citizens, not in your own nation, but when traveling abroad. The reason our citizens are safe if they visit Sierra Lyricalia is because we know that the World Assembly guarantees to them certain rights for their protection. That's what makes it an international issue.
"The exception is abortion. That was a failure of the international issue argument."

"Nah, not buying that. We (as in the GA in general) don't do what we do in the realms of domestic human rights issues to protect tourists. We do it because we feel that certain rights are worthy enough to be enshrined in international law even when they are not, on the face of it, international issues."
