Stressing that financial transparency from national governments and organizations leads to a financially self-aware populace that can attain better economic success,
Emphasizing that financial planning is a key component of sustained economic well-being for people of all socioeconomic classes,
Understanding that economic prosperity for individuals substantially increases their well-being, which benefits their communities and their nations,
Also reaffirming the right of all WA citizens to be informed about financial concepts,
The World Assembly, therefore,
Defines “financial planning,” for the purposes of this resolution, as the process of analyzing necessary financial information, such as savings and investments, in order to achieve certain financial goals for individuals, such as retirement.
To allow for adequate financial planning,
Establishes the World Assembly Financial Planning Board, or WAFPB, that sets standards for and certifies professional practitioners of financial planning internationally, which both increases public confidence and protects consumers. The WAFPB certification framework includes competency and education requirements, ethical standards, and general practice standards.
Mandates that World Assembly nations notify any citizens, where applicable, of necessary tax return information at least 60 days in advance of the completion deadline.
Mandates that World Assembly nations that control a portion of their respective credit system(s) make credit information that is owned by their national governments accessible to the public.
Mandates that World Assembly nations disseminate information to the public regarding aforementioned financial tools currently provided by their national governments, free or otherwise, and further encourages nations to share those resources with other nations.
Encourages World Assembly nations to provide free financial tools and educational resources to the public, such as terminology, analytical methods, and mathematical concepts, among others.

Thanks for the input! I'll look over your suggestions in more detail when I redraft this. Obviously needs some work. But, for now, do you think that the mandates are on the right track (and just need to specify further), or that this proposal is unnecessary as a whole?

OOC: As written, it appears pretty unnecessary, nor am I sure the category AoE matches the text. What are consumers protected from? Themselves?

If you wanted to emphasize the whole "professionals doing financial planning" thing as a business, you could even switch categories into advancement of industry (or whatever it's called these days), but you'd have to do a complete rewrite and intentionally write it to fit the Category-AoE combo chosen.
Right now it feels like you're offering a solution to something that isn't a problem. Or at least isn't a problem so large that it needs international law to deal with it.

I mean, yeah. The lower classes might still be screwed even with financial planning, but sure.

And this is where you lose a lot of people - many countries establish retirements for all of their citizens. On top of that, the private sector is nonexistent.

This seems...unnecessary? Financial planning from a "professional" is something that is only accessible to the upper classes. The standards for being in a job like that are not going to be equal throughout the world either.

I mean, okay, but again, not as many countries have that type of system as you might think.

What if they control all of it? What if it's entirely private sector?

What is a "financial tool"?

I applaud the author for wanting to provide the public with life-saving information such as "terminology", but this proposal is incredibly vague and it doesn't do a whole lot. Where it does do something, it's lacking in definition and specificity, killing any level of effectiveness. Plus, it's useless to many countries.
