World Assembly Non-Compliance Act
A resolution to improve world security by increasing the powers of the World Assembly Compliance Commission.
Category: International Security
Strength: Moderate
Proposed by: Eriadni
The World Assembly,
Acknowledging that GA Resolution #390 has granted the World Assembly Compliance Commission (WACC) powers to investigate contraventions of WA law,
Noting that GA Resolution #390 makes clear the jurisdiction of the WACC in regards to war crimes and crimes against humanity,
Reiterating that WA membership is purely voluntary and requires an agreement to act in accordance with WA resolutions and regulations,
Recalling that the WA has a limited mandate over the sovereignty of its member-states,
Further recalling that some WA member-states are incapable of complying with WA resolutions and regulations,
Observing the existence of WA member states which are capable of compliance but refuse to comply with WA resolutions and regulations as they see fit,
Concerned that this disregard for WA authority by member-states ultimately undermines the authority of the WA as a whole,
Further concerned that member-states which are non-compliant with WA rulings, either in part or as a whole, are able to propose and vote on resolutions that affect others,
Determined to apply WA regulations and resolutions in a fair and equitable manner,
The World Assembly hereby:
1. Extends the mandate of the WACC to:
a) Advise WA member-states on how to best comply with WA resolutions and regulations,
b) Act with local government and law enforcement to assure compliance with WA resolutions and regulations,
c) Publish the names of member-states that are willfully non-compliant with WA resolutions and regulations until those states identified are in full compliance with WA resolutions and regulations,
d) Publish the names of member-states that have been identified under the provision of 1c and have been uncooperative in assuring compliance with WA resolutions and regulations;
2. Recommends that member-states vote against resolutions proposed by states identified under 1c and 1d,
3. Guarantees states identified under provisions 1c and 1d the right to negotiate with the WACC in order to best comply with WA resolutions and regulations;
4. Clarifies that any ruling made by the WACC regarding member-states identified under the provision of 1c and 1d as final;
5. Strongly encourages member-states to certify compliance with WA resolutions within their area of local power
6. Affirms the right for WA member-states to govern themselves in areas where WA resolutions and regulations are irrelevant;
7. Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.
Couple of points regarding our intentions here.
1. There are nations that don't comply with WA resolutions for various reasons. Some are fractured governments, others are constitutionally not allowed to or whatever. The issue Eriadni has with this is that these states are still permitted to influence the affairs of others whilst disregarding resolutions they don't like.
2. OOC legality: I imagine this would be the major contentious issue, particularly given clauses 1 and 2. AFAIK the #390 ruling says the WACC can exist and has a place but the extension of mandate I am not too sure about. Any assistance with this side would be much appreciated.
Any suggestions that address point 1 without violating point 2 are more than welcome!
