Ideas for General Assembly Proposals

GA #560

How about regular workers?

Perhaps you might search prior resolutions and see if that is already covered. That being said, I think there is a resolution that covers regular workers.

Won't bother, seems common. Maybe a legislation on border disputes?

Again, instead of clogging the thread up and asking endless questions, why don't you look for yourself on what resolutions have been done and such on your topics. Or go ahead and post a draft and get community feedback.

Okay, so far I've seen nothing about it, maybe it'll start a good foundation.

A proposal To Make It Illegal To Outlaw Private Industry

A proposal To Make It Illegal To Outlaw Private Industry

This would most certainly be illegal under GA rules as an ideological ban.

Does anyone think it would be a good idea to repeal GA #267 'Sensible Limits on Hunting'? It's a good resolution but it blocks future WA legislation about protection of non-endangered species inside a nations territory and Exclusive Economic Zone. And someone would fairly quickly make a replacement with such an exception clause.

[Imperium Anglorum]

Do it.

It's a good resolution but it blocks future WA legislation about protection of non-endangered species inside a nations territory and Exclusive Economic Zone. And someone would fairly quickly make a replacement with such an exception clause.

Why, in your opinion, is further "WA legislation about protection of non-endangered species inside a nations territory and Exclusive Economic Zone" needed? What measures along those lines do you want to pass? In my opinion, as #267's author, it already does (in conjunction with #199) enough in that respect... and it's meant to be a blocker, to prevent wider bans on hunting.

[Yaak]

A resolution on military deserters.

[Bears Armed]

A resolution on military deserters.

Apparently there's nothing yet... but why should they be a subject for international legislation?

[Untecna]

I have some resolution ideas:
-A resolution on the assistance of fragmented animal populations (essentially, when a population of animals is fragmented, it is split by natural and artificial blockers, which can slow or even remove growth of a population, so the target would be to create ways for those animals to access areas of food and mates)

-A resolution on international plumbing standards (fairly self-explanatory)

Edit: If the first one is legal (and is possible), I'd like to coauthor it with somebody.

More flexible protection is in my opinion required. I'll have to check out #199, though. Also, I was mainly referring to migratory species.

I could help you with it, if its legal. If it is, and you want to, I'll telegram you with my discord.

You'll want to do some research into existing resolutions that might be adjacent to your proposal (or even in its way). Maybe start here?

OTOH, "international plumbing standards" sounds like a NatSov caricature of the most coked-up IntFed that never existed. How on earth could plumbing standards be international in nature? At best you could prohibit the production of lead pipes or that kind of thing. Make sure there's not an existing resolution on, say, heavy metals; or toxins (that might have physical contact with consumables) generally. If your intent is truly to mandate standards of e.g. pipe diameter or dwelling inflow, those provisions are national- or market-level standards and most likely not worthy of the WA's attention.

I personally would like to see a resolution regulating the size of toilet seats. I would vote for that in a second.

[Yaak]

Fishing regulations.

Hey, just some ideas. Never said I would use them.

Alright then. I'm going to check and make sure that it's legal though. Can't be making proposals if they are illegal (though I have before without knowing)!

[Untecna]

Hm. In terms of preventing animal fracturing it would seem that GA#290 would be a big threat, but I don't believe it is. I think then that a proposal on the prevention of fracturing animal populations would be legal.

If the species is endangered then there's already a resolution that covers it.
If it the species isn't endangered, but is hunted, then Res.#267 'Sensible Hunting Act'

2. Requires all member nations to regulate hunting within their borders, according to relevant expert advice, so as to keep the animal stocks involved at sustainable and environmentally suitable levels (except that they need not protect ‘invasive’ species, species parasitic on people or domestic livestock, or species carrying agents likely to cause serious epidemics in people);

... and, as I read it anyway, fragmenting the range would split the former united stock into several smaller stocks (one per fragment, essentially) so that each & every fragment's population of the species would have to be given that protection.
So, you would need to consider only those species that are neither endangered nor hunted

Fair point, but this resolution could also serve as an enhancement or support for the endangered species one, while also covering all animals in general. Hunting does not really contribute to that at all, so I don't see 267 as a barrier.

I've never written a resolution before, and while I tried to follow the proposal rules as closely as I could, I decided that it would be a good idea to get feedback from more experienced players.
With all that said, here's my proposal:

Banning the commercial sale of firearms

The World Assembly,

Acknowledging that homicide is a serious issue,

Observing that the majority of homicides are performed with a firearm,

Further observing that stricter gun laws are closely tied to lower homicide rates,

Hereby:

1. Defines the following terms for the purposes of this act:

a. "Automatic firearm" as any firearm capable of firing multiple projectiles with a single pull of the trigger.

b. "Commercial sale" as a sale to a party not affiliated with the government.

2. Prohibits any private or government arms seller from making the commercial sale of automatic firearms.

3. Provides an exception to any business that intends to use an automatic firearm for hunting, but strictly forbids said firearm from being moved off of the hunting grounds.

4. Requires that any retired soldier, police officer, ect. that was at one point eligible to be in possession of an automatic firearm, but no longer is, to return said firearm to their original supplier.

First, welcome. Please make drafts in the proper place, as this thread is for ideas.
Second, not of international importance.
Third, probably illegal.

1. sorry. where should I post drafts?
2. please clarify what you mean by that.
3. why? like I said, I'm very new to this, so any feedback is greatly appreciated.
