General Assembly Q&A

[The Rhenish League]

Consensual only means OOC consensual though right?

No. WA resolutions are IC. So the requirement is IC.

Yes. Nations agree in an OOC manner on whether or not to war each other IC - it isn't really different if within or outside the WA.

That was the intent, but it doesn't square with the IC nature of WA resolutions.

Okay, we might have misunderstood each other - of course, WA resolutions are IC, and so are all requirements to comply with them. I just (mis?)interpreted the question whether war declarations are consensual depending on WA Membership.

So someone role plays agreeeing to have their country invaded?or is it just that they agree to the RP oocly?

Hello I had a question regarding Co authorship.
In this resolution:

https://www.nationstates.net/page=WA_pa ... /council=1

Charlotte Ryberg is listed as having "Edited" the resolution. Does this mean they were co author since they had some hand in the resolution?

I was just wanting to know because I was considering mentioning it in a SC Resolution.
Since its a GA resolution in question I thought I would ask here.

Thank you

Yes, that counts as a Co-Author credit. Its a little more standardized now, as things often become over time.

Could we make the IC ruling that Belligerent Actions with any nation by a member state may not occur without a formal Declaration of War made either in a public setting or given directly to a government's head of government, head of state, or the heads of foreign and defense ministries or equivalent branches of that tasking. Basically no Pearl Harbors.

GenSec doesn't issue In Character rulings. That isn't how it works.

Are racist and Islamaphobic wars illegal?

[Separatist Peoples]

Are racist and Islamaphobic wars illegal?

No. There are no laws regarding causes of war.

[Saranidia]

Are racist and Islamaphobic wars illegal?

No. There are no laws regarding causes of war.

But wouldn’t it come under laws about discrimination generally?

[Separatist Peoples]

No. There are no laws regarding causes of war.

No. They would not.

[Saranidia]

No. They would not.

How would they not?

[Separatist Peoples]

No. They would not.

How would they not?

Because there are no laws governing causes of war, and cause for waging a war doesn't inherently rise to the level of discrimination. Actions taken in promulgating that war may, but declaring a war for religious rationale doesn't itself violate GAR#35.

What does constitute discrimination then?

You should search through the Passed Resolutions to find out. Pay extra close attention to GAR#35, which I noted explicitly in the post you quoted.

[Araraukar]

And also GA #38.

Is it possible for someone to translate the WA proposals into English for me? It might just be me but WA proposals seem increasingly dense and full of legalese. I have trouble understanding what they are actually saying.

Translating legalese? Have you tried checking to see if you've installed the SLIS formula into xkoranate?

[Danubian Peoples]

Are you allowed to write a proposal and have another nation submit it on your behalf? I'm asking because I don't wanna join the WA for security reasons (it requires my email y'know), but at the same time I want to write proposals.

[Bears Armed]

Are you allowed to write a proposal and have another nation submit it on your behalf?

Yes.
(For one precedent, see GA resolution #20 which has its actual Author -- rather than just a Co-Author -- named at its foot.)
