We admit that we are uncertain as to how complicated or simple the text is, how many loopholes there are, and how messy the English is, so any help would be appreciated."
OOC: So... I tried making a replacement, and... I have to admit, I almost got lost in the amount of text there is,
so if anyone needs help, I'll probably need help helping you help me.

Rights of Refugees
Category: Human Rights | Strength: Significant
The World Assembly,
Recognizing its stance in favor of helping refugees,
Aiming to protect refugees from unjust treatment, deportation, and prosecution,
Hoping to strike a balance by not putting a burden on member nations with refugees whom have not granted them asylum,
The World Assembly hereby enacts the following:
- Defines:
- "refugee", for the sake of this resolution, as any person who has been displaced from their country in order to escape persecution, violence, war, unjust prosecution, or disaster, and is neither an objective threat to national or international security unless granted asylum nor justifiably charged of significant criminal activity, and shall hereafter be referred to as "the refugee";
- "nation X" as the nation to which the refugee is in or potential refugee wishes to be considered a refugee in;
- Any person that meets the definition of "refugee" may not be:
- persecuted, receive unjust incarceration, receive unjustified discriminatory treatment, receive any kind of punishment greater than what would be given to citizens for a crime they may have committed, tortured, or receive any other serious violation of human rights, as established by the World Assembly, by nation X;
- forcibly moved to a country that poses a well-established risk of persecution, unfair prosecution, unjustifiably discriminatory treatment, torture, death, or any other serious violation of human rights as established by the World Assembly;
- forcibly moved to a country that is a non-World Assembly member, or non-compliant World Assembly member, that poses a well-established risk of acting against this resolution's mandates;
- socially discriminated against by nation X's government or its civil servants by reason only of their status as refugees;
- denied access to leave nation X if they wish to leave, unless they've broken laws that also apply to said country's citizens;
- denied being in nation X until they are delivered to a nation that has granted them asylum that is also in compliance with the protections given in this resolution;
