Sound like an ad and not an actual proposal. Also, needs spellcheck.

I may be missing somethings, so I will defer to more experienced WAers to go over this thing.

[Doctor Cyclops]

What exactly does this resolution propose to accomplish? Nations can already choose whether or not to allow gambling, and no amount of "encouraging" is likely to have any effect on that choice.

Gambling is already legal in my nation, i don't have a problem with this proposal but there is a slight problem, something that bothers me about this proposal is that it forces nation's, forces all member states to legalise something that might be illegal in some nation's according to their legislations, national laws or the constitution.

Don't get me wrong here because my nation is in full support of this proposal and gambling is a very huge factor that keeps the economy of the FSSU running.

[Goobergunchia]

We see little point in this proposal. It does nothing except to misleading nations that want to globally legalize gambling into voting for it. However, I am willing to wager the ambassador from Morlago 100 Universal Standard Dollars that it does not eventually become an enacted resolution.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

Make it two million talai, honoured ambassador Darren Funkel. I think member states are going to have very different opinions on legalizing gambling.

OOC: I'm starting to think whether the type of the category should be changed to Tighten and Loosen, rather than Outlaw and Legalize.

[Brewdomia]

Im going back and forth on this one, since Gambling is outlawed in Brewdomia, but change might come, we'll see...

[Morlago]

The thing is that even though gambling may be illegal in your nations, the proposal itself doesn't mandate all WA nations to legalize gambling. It STRONGLY ENCOURAGES it, that's all.

P.S. Ambassador Funkel, this may not be the best solution in the world, but I'm willing to try anything to help it become a better place.
P.P.S. I agree with Charlotte Ryberg. It/We should start a forum on the decision of the category of gambling. Even drug laws only consider tighten and loosen.

Better double check your info there, the Recreational Drug Use category has Outlaw, Legalize, and Promote.

The World Assembly,

Description: Recognises the importance of gambling to a nation's economy
Noting that gambling may increase a nation's income with the money by tourists
Futher noting that gambling is an entertainment enjoyed by many
Also recognising that gambling is a major economic booster and civil right, so all nations should be willing to support it, no matter what the nation's political ideology is
Understanding that children, however, should not be allowed to gamble because of the fact that they may not be able to take care of themselves morally and financially, with children being people below a nation's age of majority

Hereby;

Strongly encourages all WA nations to legalize gambling
Mandates all WA nations who legalize gambling to set up a legal age which the government thinks is appropriate for people to have the right to gamble
Preserves the right to legalization of gambling to each individual WA nation

After some consideration I have decided to add some bits.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

Submitted for consideration:

Alongside the minimum age as already specified, Member states must enact strategies and laws to prevent and tackle gambling addiction, because it is not just the children that will be at risk of addiction.

Where you wrote "Strongly encourages all WA nations to legalize gambling", it should read:

"DECLARES gambling to be legalized in all member states."

(where "Declares" is indeed a mandatory clause)

This is because this proposal is, simply put, a resolution to legalise gambling and that member states cannot opt out of resolutions, which is why now I am drafting a repeal for WA #50 because "Recommends" is not considered to be an mandatory clause.

[Linux and the X]

Alongside the minimum age as already specified

There's not a minimum age; the draft merely says "children". Since it's not defined, it's simply the nation's age of majority.


While we're discussing it...

Also recognising that gambling is a major economic booster and civil right...
Understanding that children, however, should not be allowed to gamble...

Since when are rights given discriminatingly?

[Morlago]

I do not understand what you are trying to say.

Charlotte Ryberg, I have changed the proposal according to your suggestions, but I bet 5000 morlago yarus that most nations would prefer the 2nd draft (this is the 3rd).

[Morlago]

Can somebody PLEASE give me some comments?!

[Linux and the X]

To clarify:
This proposal recognises gambling as a civil right. If, indeed, gambling is a right, people may not be discriminated against by forbidding them from gambling based upon their group.

[Morlago]

Indeed, it is a civil right, but ask yourself, do you really want to see children of 6 or 7 years old to waste their money on roulette and poker? I mean, even in the real world, children in most countries aren't allowed to gamble.

[Linux and the X]

I don't intend to imply a desire to see anyone lose their money gambling; I instead am merely saying that people should be permitted to gamble if they want to.

Incidentally, in many nations, the young have less money with which to gamble. A young person may only have $5 allowance, whereas their parents have a house, a car, and $40K a year.

[Morlago]

Yes, children do get less money, but how much less, that is the question? And anyway, I believe that if this generation children spend lots of their time in gambling, the next generation is bound to learn and imitate them. Yes, the nation will earn a lot of money from the gambing industry, but if all the people are addicted to gambling, who will work in the factories and shops? Who will drive the buses? It will lead to the downfall of the nation!

[Morlago]

Anyway, this has been proposed, so yeah.
