Proposal text:
International Aviation Act
Category: International Security
Strength: Strong
Proposed by: Ayeris Islands
Description: The World Assembly ,
Reaffirming that terrorism in all forms constitutes one of the largest threats to international peace, security and stability and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their motivations,
Noting that the WA and member states are dedicated to fight this scourge on a global level, evident from the previous resolutions passed,
Recognizing the vital importance of the global aviation system for economic development and prosperity, and of all States strengthening aviation security measures to make a stable and peaceful global environment,
Expressing concern that terrorist groups continue to view civil aviation as an attractive target, with the aim to cause substantial loss of life, economic damage and disruption to connectivity between States, and that the risk of terrorist attacks against civil aviation may affect all regions and member states,
Hereby:
Reaffirms the WA's call upon all States to join the relevant international counter-terrorism conventions and protocols in their region if it has them as soon as possible, and to fully implement their obligations under those to which they have joint,
Affirms that all States have the responsibility to protect the security of citizens and nationals of all WA nations against terrorist attacks on air services operating within their territory, in a manner consistent with existing obligations under international law;
Affirms also that all States have an interest to protect the safety of their own citizens and nationals against terrorist attacks conducted against international civil aviation, wherever these may occur, in accordance with WA international law, including international human rights law and international criminal law;
Hence,
Advises States to ensure that effective measures are in place at the airports within their jurisdiction, including through enhancing screening, security checks, and facility security, to detect and deter terrorist attacks against civil aviation and to review and assess such measures regularly and thoroughly to ensure that they reflect the ever-evolving threat picture and are in accordance with international standards;
Advocates that all WA member nations take necessary steps to ensure that these measures are effectively implemented on a continuous and sustainable basis, including the provision of the required resources, use of quality control and oversight processes, and the promotion of an effective security culture within all organizations involved in civil aviation;
Enacts International Aviation Act (2016)

Rules violated:
- Meta-Gaming: using "all States" instead of "member states" is an attempt to legislate on non-member nations
- Strength: it has been submitted as "Strong", yet the active clauses are optional language, "Advises" and "Advocates", more suited for a Mild strength.
