Caviar Fishing Protection Act
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.

Category: Environmental

Industry Affected: Fishing

Proposed by: Dizgovzy

The World Assembly:
Recognises: That caviar and the fish they are caught from provide a valuable industry and job sector to many nations.
Acknowledges: That nations and businesses have the right to catch fish for caviar.
Realises: That the amounts of wild fish captured for caviar disrupt the ecosystem and damage the habitat.
Understands: That caviar and their parental fish that are raised in farms provide less harm to the natural ecosystem and therefore businesses should not be hampered from farming their caviar.

Hereby proposes:
That species population for wild caviar stock shall be tallied every five years.
That only fifty percent of females (of the total population) shall be captured every five years to keep the species' population stable.
That businesses and nations shall not consistently capture wild caviar stock-fish to use in farms.
That illegal caviar fishing shall be punished to protect the ecosystem and natural levels of fish.

Authored by Dizgovzy for the benefit of all.

Not entirely sure if "hereby proposes" followed by a couple sentences counts as an active clause or not.

OOC: If they're talking about protecting marine life, then it is already covered by GAR #409. Also, I'm not sure whether the author as named by the proposal-er really let him use his/her name in the proposal, or whether the proposal-er even requested the author to do so.

Death penalty

Notaxias firmly believes in one strong leader instead of a divided democracy.
The death penalty is a great opportunity to scare dissidents and other rubbish people.

Thus,
Notaxias is fully in favor of the death penalty.

Also, contradiction of existing legislation: Setting catch quotas [within nations' own jurisdictions] is a national matter, according to GAR #199 'Sustainable Fishing Act'.

Worldwide Schools Begin Serving Healthier Choices
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.

Category: Health

Area of Effect: International Aid

Proposed by: East Splatonia

Greetings all countries!
I am President/Colonel Jacktropolis of East Splatonia. I wish to call upon all countries to join me in this massive effort that my country has already begun, which is the effort to get schools to offer healthier choices on their food menus. For too long have schools been feeding the students of the future god only knows what. Homemade slop, unhealthy choices, no wonder most countries with said schools have high obesity rates! I for one call the repealing of school lunch boards, and replacing with people who will understand the choices that we provide. This law will also set a standard of healthy choices that schools will need to comply with if they wish to stay a part of this law. Any schools who do not apply will be punished by either fines, or temporary closing. Below this message is a list of what this law will put into action, and what specific rules will be applied! Thank you for reading, and god bless you all!

List of rules/laws for schools to comply with:
-Food with more than a set number of carbs will be banned in school cafeterias.
-More vegetables/fruits will be added to menus.
-Hiring of professional food preparation experts will be in effect, and pay rises will be expected.
-Offering appetizers, course meals, sides, etc.
-Soda, Juices, and Milk (Fat level over 2%), will be banned.
-Lunch periods will be longer (1 hour) to aid in student food consumption/cooperation at lunch tables.
-Lunch tables will also need to pass a health inspection every month for not only food quality, but for overall health quality of cafeterias.
-Glasses of water will be served on trays rather than picking out milk cartons/juice boxes.

Failure to apply with said rules will include:
-Government Fines (From $750 to $2500)
-Firing of school board members promoting unhealthy choices
-Replacement of food members
-Temporary closing of school cafeteria/property

-Present/Colonel Jacktropolis of East Splatonia

Branding, and a complete inability to grasp that nutrition is not some one-size-fits-all list

Repeal: “Promoting Sustainable Timber”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal
Resolution: GA#422
Proposed by:

Abdiwahab
General Assembly Resolution #422 “Promoting Sustainable Timber” (Category: Advancement of Industry; Area of Effect: Protective Tariffs) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

This proposal is ridiculous resolution by Uan aa Boa. This is quite simple. This resolution controls what governments including you can do with your resources. First it is timber than oil and soon they will control your country and do what ever they want. We should repeal this resolution. Furthermore this resolution have increased unemployment as traffis have made it hard for companies both private and government to fire people as they can’t afford to keep them all. So again let’s repeal this resolution together!

Since it's a blogposal and not a law. "Hereby reapeals" works, "So again let’s repeal this resolution together!" is a slogan and a blog remark.

My opinion is that this "clause" is meaningless and I have, therefore, ignored it. I can't quite make out what the point is. "Traffis" make it hard to fire people and this causes unemployment?

I think rather, it would be that tariffs increase costs to doing business, which make firms fire people because they can't afford to keep them all. Making it hard to fire people has nothing to do with it.

Title: Repeal: "WA General Fund"

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#17

Proposed by: Ajit Pai and the FCC

Description:
General Assembly Resolution #17 “WA General Fund” (Category: Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Assembly,

The decision to require World Assembly nations to provide a tax/donation to the World Assembly and Security Council should be repealed and/or restricted for that of reasons.

1) In order to keep a nations economy stable, thriving, functioning, and prosperous, we should eliminate the tax which could bring down a government in time of need for having to be apart of the World Assembly.

2) Providing a tax for the World Assembly, a branch that helps nations overcome economical and political feats, is like a hurricane victim giving money to F.E.M.A. who uses that money to help the hurricane victims with money. It's completely illogical and unnecessary.

3) It's inappropriate for this taxation to occur since it's like stealing the taxes from a countries own taxes. The countries that tax, are getting taxed, so basically the money runs through one line. From the hands of citizens in the World Assembly nations, straight to the World Assembly, whether they like it or not.

4) Allowing nations to bar taxes on other nations is discriminatory in itself. The bill preaches a source of justice towards discrimination when it's be discriminatory, it's hypocritical. Religious wars have been going on for years, so what if a religious country places a bar of taxation on those of an opposing religion? Another holy war.

Rule(s) Violated:
1. Clauses 1-3 violates the NatSov only repeal rule.
2. Operative Clause ("we should" does nothing).
3. Clause 1 violates the legislation in a repeal rule.


Title: World Education Act

A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.

Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Educational

Proposed by: Nepe Nepe

Description:
Stating:
All children and young adults have a right to education.
Reminding:
Every generation propels every country farther into a more prosperous area.
Calling for:

(A) Setting a standard for schools internationally for the progress for the globe as a whole, not benefiting any one country.

(B) Mandating an international competition between any age level enrolled in a country's education program, expenses paid for by the host country, to show an importance and need of education worldwide.

(C) Setting a guideline for a countries education program, but one that is malleable and able to fit any culture or religion in the world.

(D) Setting up an international education bank for graduates to make it possible for any student, that is able, to be recognized by another nation and have the ability to apply for a work visa that is accepted instantly by the new host country.

(E) Giving a student who feels is not gaining the education set in these guidelines to flee the country, with a reason of educational asylum, and report the said country to the WA for an education reform in said country. The original host country cannot stop the student for leaving unless there is no discrepancy in the country's current education system.

Rule(s) Violated:
1. Duplication (GAR #80 already deals with giving basic education for all).
2. Contradiction [Clause (E) contradicts GAR #35 Article 1, Clauses (a) and (b).]

When you're posting in this thread you might keep your comments outside of the box tags so that they stand out.

Regarding the first one, I'd look at it violating the legislating in a repeal rule first. If it does that, I wouldn't bother with what the operative clauses in the attempting legislation do. In this case, I'm not sure it is actually legislating in a repeal. Clause 1 appears to be a standard "repeal this and the WA can do X" type reason for repeal but stated in an unorthodox fashion.

Overall, the only violation I see is the RL references rule ("F.E.M.A." in clause 2).

Also, the NatSov only rule only applies when all the non-fluff clauses are based on NatSov.

Regarding the second, the clauses A to E are preceded by "calling for". This is not a valid operative clause. If those clauses actually did anything, I'd agree that there's duplication of GAR#80. Clause C duplicates the major part of GAR#80. E contradicts other resolutions which give the right to or oblige member states to restrict travel of individuals, such as GAR#279 and GAR#389.

The originally-submitted version only ran to the end of clause 3, lacking everything from "Therefore" onwards, and so I marked it as illegal for 'Committee Only': This was the author's attempt at fixing that problem.

Proposed by: Saugeria

Dictatorship is still currently running in some nations,we the democratic nations should come together to eliminate millitary and dictatorship rule

And effectively contradicts GAR#2's ban on WA-organised military activity (because how else could that objective be reached?) as well.

Repeal: “WA General Fund”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#17

Proposed by: Ajit Pai and the FCC

General Assembly Resolution #17 “WA General Fund” (Category: Furtherment of Democracy; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Assembly,

The decision to require World Assembly nations to provide a tax/donation to the World Assembly and Security Council should be repealed and/or restricted for that of reasons.

1) In order to keep a nations economy stable, thriving, functioning, and prosperous, we should eliminate the tax which could bring down a government in time of need for having to be apart of the World Assembly.

2) Providing a tax for the World Assembly, a branch that helps nations overcome economical and political feats, is like a hurricane victim giving money to hurricane relief organizations who use that money to help the hurricane victims with money. It's completely illogical and unnecessary.

3) It's inappropriate for this taxation to occur since it's like stealing the taxes from a countries own taxes. The countries that tax, are getting taxed, so basically the money runs through one line. From the hands of citizens in the World Assembly nations, straight to the World Assembly, whether they like it or not.

4) Allowing nations to bar taxes on other nations is discriminatory in itself. The bill preaches a source of justice towards discrimination when it's be discriminatory, it's hypocritical. Religious wars have been going on for years, so what if a religious country places a bar of taxation on those of an opposing religion? Another holy war.

legislating in a repeal, running towards blogtastic.

Title: Repeal: “Promotion of Bee-keeping”

A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#224

Proposed by: Kiengi

Description:
Resolution: GA#224

Proposed by: Kiengi

General Assembly Resolution #224 “Promotion of Bee-keeping” (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Repeal "Promotion of Bee-keeping"
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Category: Repeal
Resolution: 224
Proposed by: Kiengi

Description: WA Resolution #224: Promotion of Bee-keeping (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: The World Assembly,

Enthusiastically commending the intent to protect the environment,

And acknowledging the important role played by bees in producing honey,

But considering the existence of other sweeteners, including but not limited to: date syrup, grape syrup, corn syrup, maple syrup, sugar cane, sugar beets, molasses, treacle, artificial sweeteners, etc.

Recognizing the possibility of economic competition between producers of honey and producers of other sweeteners,

Noting that several WA member states are economically dependent on the production of those other sweeteners,

Concerned by the unfair competitive advantages given to honey-producing states under the existing legislation, namely:

-The prohibition on restricting the import of bees and "products of bee-keeping" such as honey,
-The prohibition on placing restrictive "customs duties, tariffs, or other taxation" on "products of bee-keeping" such as honey,

Therefore believing that honey-producing states are given an unfair advantage in the international market for sweeteners,

Deeply concerned that the competition between honey and local sweeteners will hurt the local industries of WA member states,

Seeking to preserve the spirit of fair competition and economic diversity among WA member states,

Hereby repeals Ga #224 "Promotion of Bee-keeping"

Title: Environmentalist urbanization Act

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Mild

Proposed by: Virsperia

Description:
Dawn is host too many nations with many great cities. Cities are often built of tall standing towers of pavement cement and metal bars. There are too many cities with the bleak enclosed greys and shadows of monolithic buildings and not enough spaces in the world around them that feel comfortable and natural. In an effort to improve upon the beauty of urban civilization and the mental stability of urban citizens the Environmentalist Urbanization act pushes for the creation of more parks, open spaces, urban flora, and wider-open streets. These projects will provide calm and beauty to every city in Dawn.
Environmentalist Urbanization act compliance requirements:
-All cities must include at least one new natural park environment of 300 m²
-All cities must include at least three small plazas of 18 m²
-All cities must include at least one road with new decorative flora

That way it's immediately obvious what parts of the text are your comments and what belong into the proposal, without the need to click through spoilers.

Repeal: “Promoting Sustainable Timber”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.

Category: Repeal

Resolution: GA#422

Proposed by: Starabia

General Assembly Resolution #422 “Promoting Sustainable Timber” (Category: Advancement of Industry; Area of Effect: Protective Tariffs) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

I refuse to lose my forests for this. I am sorry but this is not a good idea for most nations.

Branding and sloganeering.

Gun Limitation
A resolution to tighten or relax gun control laws.

Category: Gun Control

Decision: Tighten

Proposed by: Asterguard

Gun usage is hereby limited with the purpose of promoting exceptional lower crime rates, and restore public confidence on world gun affairs.

Government officials, and World Delegates, as well as military units, are hereby granted exclusive usage of guns, or otherwise lethal machinery or weaponry.

The General Assembly condemns outside usage of the above approvals and can result in suspension of World Assembly membership, as well as citizenship.

Game mechanics (suspension of World Assembly membership)
Contradicts This, and probably This. This don't count but the argument (exceptional lower crime rates) is rather spurious as well. (because there was never any crime before guns, right?)

Regulate Porn
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category: Human Rights

Strength: Significant

Proposed by: Lermant

Acknowledge that porn is an form of dependency for some and should be regulated, to prevent dependency.

Porn Videos, Requires, the information of age to watch it, ages from 13 to under will not be allowed to watch.

Porn Videos, that clearly represents the act of rape, pedophilia, kidnap or incest will not be tolerated and should be banish, those acts are crimes of high level, and shouldn't be shown to the public.

Porn Videos, that show blood, piss will no be tolerated, these types of porn fetish, are hurtful to those involved, and also disturbing, to those not affiliated to watching these types of videos.

Porn Viewers, They should pay to have an account, because that will stop majority of the children form watching porn, and this will result in les dependency from people to use porn, because people that started watching porn since young, should have more chances of being dependent.

Websites, That shown the leaked intimate images from anyone, will be banished, because spreading those images is a total disrespect and humiliation for the victim. And those that spreads that 'content' will also be considerate a criminal.

Websites, that already exists will be analyzed and decided if they meet these requirements will be allowed to exist, and if not they will be terminated

How is this "Human Rights"?
