Category: International Security | Strength: Mild | Proposed By: Unibot
The General Assembly,
Understanding that international sporting events unite the world by demonstrating that sportsmanship need not conform to territorial integrity,
Recognizing the cultural awareness that international sporting events facilitate, as citizens of all countries participate with equal opportunity for athletes to succeed,
Noting that the World Assembly is the most influential international institution, and has both the resources and the international participation to commit to organizing a semi-annual, apolitical sporting event for the world,
Hereby,
1. Declares that no member-nation shall send a particular athlete or personnel to any international sporting event for the purposes of espionage, assassination or any violent means of foreign policy;
2. Outlaws any government policy that punishes or blatantly ignores the punishment of (via incarceration or physical injury) someone for theirs or someone else’s performance at an international sporting event;
3. Establishes the World Assembly Sporting Council for the purposes of organizing and conducting an annual international sporting event that meets the following stipulations, said event:
• Is held semi-annually (to accommodate sports that feasibly require certain climates) at the same general location, in neutral and apolitical territory that is easily accessible by conventional forms of transportation and geographically appropriate for the sports involved in the event -- in addition to not being subject to the jurisdiction of any nation;
• Includes venues for sports that are (1) recognized and commonly played in multiple regions of the world, (2) generally inoffensive to most cultures;
• Should be open and able to accommodate all members of the press and broadcasters within reason;
• Cannot discriminate athletes on the basis of any arbitrary categorization such as age or race;
• Utilizes politically neutral referees and judging personnel for the venues, who are forbidden from accepting bribes;
• Opposes the modification of an athlete’s body or mind via manufactured chemicals to improve their performance, by conducting random drug screening of athletes and imposing punitive measures such as disqualification, interdiction and demonstrating international disapproval against the athletes and any relevant parties;
• Is open to all member-nations that wish to represent themselves in the event;
• Will have the necessary security provided by the World Assembly Office of Building Management (OBM) to secure the safety of all its attendees;
4. Affirms that it is the duty and the responsibility of the World Assembly Sporting Council to manage all rulesets of venues, the dissemination of the rulesets and any appeals to the rulesets;
5. Permits the right of protestors to nonviolently protest outside of an event’s facility, so long as said protest is not a physical impediment to the event;
6. Encourages further legislation to provide economic opportunities to the athletes of impoverished nations.
*shrugs* It's an attempt, at-least.
Anyway, is 'biannual' once every two years or twice a year? I've always used it for once every two years, and semi-annual for twice a year, but it looks like you're using it differently.)
