That's not true. GA#2 doesn't ban the WA from disarmament actions (many resolutions do this), doesn't ban the WA from being involved in ceasefires (at least one resolution does this), and doesn't ban WA member nations from using force to uphold such actions (in fact, explicitly allows member nations to be involved in conflict). That's all my proposal does.
Again: which clauses, were they included in any other proposal, would make them illegal? You can't say a proposal is illegal and refuse to state which clauses fall afoul of the rules.
Such an annoying title is likely to get a legality challenge. I'm giving you fair warning now so that you can change it before you submit the proposal.
I hope GenSec throws out such a challenge immediately. What rule would it violate?

Does it, by relying on Committees established in prior resolutions, constitute a House of Cards violation?
Yes, in my opinion, giving a committee a supervisory role over any existing committees that were created without explicit provision being made at the time[s] of their creation for the later addition of such supervision would count as an amendment of the resolution[s] establishing those other committees.
1) What precedent is there for such a ruling?
2) Can you then state that the following would be illegal:
GA#44
5. EXPANDS the mission of the World Health Authority and its offices in WA member states to include:
a. providing universal access to abortion reduction services in accordance with national and local laws,
b. actively researching the subjects of the epidemiology of abortion and abortion reduction services and making public the results of such research in a non-political manner,
c. facilitating the sharing of technology among member states concerning abortion reduction services
GA#288
EXPANDS the mandate of the World Health Authority (WHA) to include the following:
a) Directing all appropriate funds towards investigating the causes of poor sanitation in member nations, researching solutions, and utilizing all appropriate resources to assist member nations in dealing with poor sanitary conditions and the consequences thereof,
b) Sharing all research and relevant information with member nations in an effort to mitigate the causes of poor sanitation,
c) Advising member nations based on the aforementioned research measures,
d) Funding and directing education measures, in coordination with the governments of member nations and other relevant institutions that promote improving sanitation;
GA#346
4. Expands the duties of the World Assembly Science Program (WASP) to include:
a. Monitoring global climate changes to identify unique ecosystems under threat, and to notify nations of said threat to their unique ecosystems,
b. Storing and providing access to raw data from nations who have shared with the WASP,
c. Raising and providing funds and scientific support for nations who do not have the capacity to conduct a reasonable scientific expedition;
GA#369
5. Expands the mission of the World Health Authority to include assisting member states in the adequate education of sapient beings on reproduction, in order to minimize the risk of international epidemics caused by pathogens communicated through reproduction;
6. Directs the World Health Authority to allocate sufficient funds toward reproductive education in those member states that are unable to meet the mandates of this resolution, even in a good faith effort, without supranational aid;
GA#386
Expands the remit of the Global Emigration, Security, Travel And Passport Organisation, hereafter referred as the Passport Organisation, to include the issuance of World Assembly identification documents and passports to the former nationals of member states who have been deprived of their nationality by their government;
I will make further note that this is not even the first time the WADB had its role expanded, you even did it yourself in GA#296:
3). Instructs the WA Disaster Board to study and to distribute as appropriate information about fire hazards and fire-control methods; urges member nations to share all relevant data that they possess with the WADB; and offers this service to any non-WA nations that are interested (and are willing to pay reasonable fees, share their relevant date with the WADB, and meet clause #1’s terms to the same extent that would be necessary if they were WA members) too.
And another GenSec member:
GA#354:
4. Instructs WASP, ULC, and WADB to offer consultations with WA states on best practices of machine/network security and command & control dependability, including programming and construction assistance; and to run wargames and bench tests for heavily networked nations to test response scenarios to runaway mechanisms, matter, or hostile AIs;
In other words, overwhelming precedent for expanding the role of committees exists. Why would it not be legal to expand the role of the WADB in this case? Also note that a GenSec member recommended I use the WADB.
