Article 5 of General Assembly 399 has effectively prohibited any such restrictions:Dragocia wrote:So, are we allowed to propose regulation against weapons?
You will need to work within the confines of a resolution that expressly leaves internal policy to be decided by member nations. There isn't much that you'll be able to do with that, and many will likely oppose it anyway.from GA#399 wrote:5. Assures member nations of the exclusive right to determine purely internal arms trading and firearm policy, excepting:
- those regulations recognized by the terms of this resolution or extant international law,
- future regulations which seek to prevent firearms from being sold to or used by individuals that pose a danger of performing imminent lawless action, or
- future resolutions which seek to relax regulations on purchasing firearms for recreational reasons only;

Tinfect raised this point a few times and it's kinda wordy to write that in although I don't disagree with her premise on this.
For example, if your member state doesn't have a stock exchange (for whatever reason, too small or you ban capitalism), the next resolution I write on the stock exchange ESG governance won't apply anyway and I don't have to explicitly state that it won't. iA's one on Deposit Insurance also shouldn't really apply (I know he didn't state so very explicitly) to member states that don't have either deposits or insurance. I know it will still have a statistical effect but most WA resolutions don't really have dramatic effects for starters anyway.

The General Assembly and Security Council are chambers of the same World Assembly, so all WA members are also party to the GA. If you want to participate in forum RP here, it's advisable to develop a character with which to do so, but plenty of players get by participating without any specific character.

If a resolution states that beekeeping must be regulated in such and such a fashion, then it does not need to specify that this only applies to nations where bees are kept. It is simply assumed. A member-nation with no bees is automatically in compliance. There are lots of resolutions on wartime conduct which would be entirely irrelevant to states with no standing army, but those resolutions are entirely legal.

It's not necessary to explicitly state this, IMO, and in fact I believe stating so might be confusing for new authors who might contrast it with "but the rules say all resolutions apply to all nations! Are you saying optionality is OK???" No, we're not, but that's a potential source of confusion. It is why I wouldn't make a big deal about "if your country doesn't have an ecosystem, environmental regulations don't matter to you." It's just not worth the bother.
