May this be the beginning of a new era where the basic human rights are enforced.


WA Fat of the Land Act
A resolution to abolish world hunger.

Category: Human Rights
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Creedless

Description: The World Assembly, believing that the human rights are to be actively endorsed, will engage steps to ensure the abolishment of hunger in the world. This legislation is presented with the guarantee that todays world will be able to feed itself without any members being neglected or any supply of food going short. It is sad to experience food for millions becoming waste when the world is starving forcing the World Assembly to take action thus; hereby:

1. RESOLVES that all WA member nations must recognize and ensure the production of food necsessary to feed all members within it's borders and to stock enough to manage variable scenarios including drought, floods, eruptions or other non-nature related incidents

2. ESTABLISHES a duty to WA member nations to all assist other WA Member nations in any hunger related peril free of charge granted the recieving nation assists to it's full capability in the logistics and distribution of such relief.

3. DECLARES that

a. The government of each nation is responsible for enfocring this resolution in accordance with current WA guidelines

b. All current buisnesses with in the food branch will remain profitable whilst new organisations must be founded to meet the new demands of the Fat of The Land resolution.

4. AFFIRMS that all nations can choose freely in what way they will meet the new proposal. Increased imports will suffice for low production of food and thus Import and export relations should remain fairly in place. If a nation suffers from this economically it shall be taken into consideration investigated and dealt with although it might be a natural effect of an adaptation stage that some nations might experience changes to it's economy.

5. FORBIDS any form of food production that intentionally sacrifices its quality for the sake of production or any other agenda. This will be enforced by a new establishment for food quality control. The WA-FQC (The World assembly Food Quality Contol, allowed to hire local services for achieving it's purpose effectively and smoothly)

6. DECLARES that enforcement of this resolution must abide by national law, and that national laws shall not be made to impair the guarantees provided for in this resolution.

At least its proportional porn.

Ah the Greeks..

The appropriate place to ask that would be the getting help page.

The pic was not pornographic, it was just a penis. However, the flag has been removed, for reasons which Creedless can learn by checking his TGs. In future, please follow Flib's advice about Getting Help requests, or take the matter to the Moderation forum.

Exactly. For starters, I think you could do without 3(a) and 6, because they're implicit in any WA resolution. It's also a good idea to have "ESTABLISHES the (WA-FQC, or whatever committee, council or group)" as a specific clause, then give its duties.

These are very general comments. I'm not going to go into the legalities, because I don't have time to do it for everyone's proposals, but I'm sure other players will have opinions on what could get your proposal deleted before it gets to vote and how it could be improved.

OOC: Indeed, and I apologize. To be honest I wasn't yet looking for moderation on the issue; I was asking.

"2. ESTABLISHES a duty to WA member nations to all assist other WA Member nations in any hunger related peril free of charge granted the recieving nation assists to it's full capability in the logistics and distribution of such relief."
I am not without compassion, Ambassador, but I find this proposal to be slightly communist. Keep in mind that I don't use that word as an insult. If it weren't for my belief that 'power corrupts absolutely,' I would be largely in favor of such a thing. That being said, I'm aware that resolutions aren't necessarily open to corruption, and shall try to approach this less philosophically (at the risk of sounding like a jerk, I'm sure.)

I do not think it is the duty of anybody to supplement another nations' failure. Which is to say, at the very least, that I'd like to see included in this proposal a defintion of 'hunger related peril.' Natural disasters, perhaps, constitute such. Otherwise I do not see why a prospering nation must freely give away its surplus. I find this to be endeavoring towards some global plataue(sp?) rather than any particular height.

"b. All current buisnesses with in the food branch will remain profitable whilst new organisations must be founded to meet the new demands of the Fat of The Land resolution." ......
"5. FORBIDS any form of food production that intentionally sacrifices its quality for the sake of production or any other agenda. This will be enforced by a new establishment for food quality control. The WA-FQC (The World assembly Food Quality Contol, allowed to hire local services for achieving it's purpose effectively and smoothly)"

First of all, while I can appreciate your attempt at appeasement, I don't see why existing businesses should be exempt. Secondly, how do you expect a business to produce non-profitably without sacrificing some of its quality? You should supply a definition of quality that helps clarify, as I think you intended, that quality coincides more with safety than with taste. Then again it's already been pointed out that you should better define what your established organization does.

I do not feel that any resolution that mandates that all new food production businesses be non-profit organizations is a good one. That sounds just a little too close to mandating that all governments become socialist whether they like it or not.

Precisely! I believe I said communist... socialist was probably a better word.

By enacting this proposal to be a resolution, businesses will soon begin to be bankrupt and then the situation of world hunger will only become worser in the long run as more and more businesses are loosing profit and going bankrupt because of this resolution forcing all food processing businesses to give out free food for those that cannot afford it, it is poorely written and utterly a silly proposal.
