Note: This 'last call' on a new thread is because I wanted to have this thing in a place where it would be noticed and also because I wanted to start on a clean slate. I do hope it's not prohibited or anything...?

SHOCKED at the lack of legislation regarding the sterilisation of manned spacecraft,
ACKNOWLEDGING that many a WA nation has a space program,
WANTING to ensure public safety by sterilising returning spacecraft so as to remove all potentially harmful alien organism species that may or may not have arrived on a planet or other celestial bodies inhabited by a sapient species via spacecraft,
Defines, for the purposes of this resolution,
a. Spacecraft as any sort of manned or unmanned craft intentionally launched into space or otherwise manufactured fully or partially in space, and has landed on or had contact with foreign objects, and successfully made reentry through the above-mentioned planets’ or celestial bodies’ atmosphere,
b. Sterilisation as the complete removal, containment, and/or disinfection of any foreign, non-sapient, unapproved organisms found on the craft,
c. Unapproved as without the explicit written permission or approval of the relevant authorities to bring back certain organisms upon the spacecraft, such as the nations' space program management committee or government,
Hereby,
MANDATES that WA member nations with space programs
a. purchase at least basic sterilisation equipment on a scale suitable to that of their space program,
b. establish effective sterilisation procedures and protocol, and enforce them upon the relevant parties,
c. spread awareness about the danger of potentially harmful alien organisms on the ecosystem and the dominant sapient race(s) inhabiting the planet, if either is applicable,
d. additionally burden the IASA (International Aero-Space Administration) with the duty of establishing and enforcing sterilisation standards of said returning spacecraft across all WA nations with a space program.
