2. Making sure this doesn't take various subjects away from school
3. Prohibits political parties from funding schools

The post just above this was this very same proposal.

Section 3 is a valid operative clause.

Scientific And Historical Protection Act

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

Category: Education and Creativity

Area of Effect: Educational

Proposed by: The greater buckeye union

History has shown us that the destruction or prohibition of information can lead to especially
bad outcomes. Knowing this we must set forward regulations ensuring that information is
Open and free to all

1A Historical or scientificInformation may not be destroyed in any capacity

2A Governments may not hide historical or scientific records from the public
(Excluding information that could harm or endanger their nation or it’s populace)

3A Information may not be altered for a countries benefit or reputation

No operative clause. Also numerous typos and it generally doesn't read like what is expected of a good WA resolution imo
edit: just realized this has already been reported 6 hours ago. Still should be changed

In what way are all three clauses not operative?

Curbing Corona Act, 2021
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.

Category: Health

Area of Effect: Healthcare

Proposed by: Clairvoyant

The country of Clairvoyant moves to the General Assembly asking for stringent actions in regards to curbing the coronavirus. Already a full blown pandemic the disease has caused many unnecessary deaths.

The deaths should not be pinned on the government, and the citizens of the world should take up the standards of moral decency. Clairvoyant with this bill suggests stringent actions against these idiotic miscreants.

The charged with a hefty fine of $250, if found not wearing mask, or wearing the mask in an inappropriate way. Inability of payment of fine would attract Attempt to murder charges as the miscreant would purposefully put others at risk of contracting the disease.

Clairvoyant asks the General Assembly to pass this project.

Branding, not written from WA's perspective, proposal basics

[Jedinsto]

This was written by the same person who wrote "Make all of drugs legal"-

Bruh, we can gather a bunch of prisoners, launch them to the moon, and have them like try to survive in a sort of gladiator gameshow type of thing. We could call it "Bonerville" Throw some tigers up there, and have Pamala Anderson host it, bruh we would make a shitload of money. We could use that money to find the cure for cancer or obesity. It'll be wicked sick.

Proposal basics, rl reference, doesn't do anything, possibly breaks site rules (I doubt it), etc.

[Senissimi]

The same person as Jedinsto's report is at it again. Breaks Rules 1, 2b2, 5a, 5c, and possibly more.

Set A Basic Standard Of Healthcare
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.

Category: Health
Area of Effect: Healthcare
Proposed by: Layeton
Many nations have bad healthcare. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. We need to set a basic healthcare standard for all members, and put a limit on how poorly healthcare can be.
DISGUSTED on how underdeveloped some nations are in healthcare.
SHOCKED on how nations can get away with a lifespan of 14 years of age.
CERTAIN that this needs to stop and members need to have good healthcare for their citizens.
Hereby sets a lifespan standard of 21, a health standard of 1, and a public healthcare standard of 700 (these standards may change.)

Approvals: 1 (Tinhampton)

GenSec Status: LEGAL
Info
Status: Lacking Support (requires 60 more approvals)

General Assembly Resolution #545 “Military Death Penalty Ban” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Recognizing the intent of GA#545 "Military Death Penalty Ban" as noble in seeking to improve worldwide civil and human rights;

Concerned that the implementation of such principles as:

1.) abolishing the death penalty for all crimes under the purview of military law;
2.) prohibiting states from deporting persons to states that may seek the application of the death penalty against them;
3.) forcing a written contract assuring the specific exclusion of extradition of a [convicted] criminal suspect to death-row;

directly interferes with the principle of criminal deterrence in that the resolution:

does not discourage members of society from committing exceptionally heinous acts out of fear of violence;

does not consider the principles of lex talionis under which a significant number of nations operate;

does not value the lives of one or more humans as equivalent under the eyes of the law;

whereas it furthermore:

directly interferes with the core concepts of Westphalian sovereignty in that the resolution also:

removes sovereignty over a state's territory and domestic affairs;

does not exclude all external powers;

violates the principle of non-interference;

violates the principle of state-equality (id est all states are equal in the eyes of international law).

Appalled that such blatant overstepping of sovereign authority by the World Assembly was even considered.

Clarifying that the death penalty is in fact not "…a draconian judicial punishment often used in the name of revenge and wrongfully rationalized as justice…." and

absolutely condemning the use of ad hominem arguments in the context of a legal setting, even as far as in the very text of a law itself;

shocked that the only enumerated rationale for the Death Penalty in GA#545 is "…to produce fair and effective justice for victims of heinous crimes…":

the World Assembly hereby repeals GA#545.

The bolded parts simply are links to their factbooks, so this would fall under some illegality I would assume (with one of them even referencing a link to Westphalian Sovereignty which not only is metagaming but also merely a natsov argument)? The author also has a history of spamming the notices by submitting and withdrawing the proposal a few minutes later, resubmitting it and then withdrawing it once again.

[Imperium Anglorum]

There is no rule against including a NatSov argument in a repeal. The rule is against a repeal which consists only of a NatSov argument.

[Outer Sparta]

There is no rule against including a NatSov argument in a repeal. The rule is against a repeal which consists only of a NatSov argument.

Wouldn't there also be the whole metagaming aspect and that they linked to their own factbooks? I've never seen that done in a proper resolution.

[Jedinsto]

Wouldn't there also be the whole metagaming aspect and that they linked to their own factbooks? I've never seen that done in a proper resolution.

There's a rule specifically against linking dispatches, I'm not sure it falls under metagaming though.

Edit: Oops that might only be an SC rule.

General Assembly Resolution #545 “Military Death Penalty Ban” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Hereby The Sacred Empire of Venethort states:
A. The sovereign right to extradict (or not) any not-citizen person to the state of citizenship of named person, due to the verdict of the Court
B. Any person on the territory of the State is under full force of the sovereign legislature and could be sentenced to any legal penalty, due to the verdict of the Court

All rights reserved] is, "A theory that criminal laws are passed with well-defined punishments to discourage individual criminal defendants from becoming repeat offenders and to discourage others in society from engaging in similar criminal activity") in that the resolution:

does not discourage members members of society from committing exceptionally heinous acts out of fear of violence;

does not consider the principles of lex talionis (which is, according to A Law Dictionary, Adapted to the Constitution and Laws of the United States [By John Bouvier…(1856)], "The law of retaliation in kind") under which a significant number of nations operate;

does not value the lives of one or more humans as equivalent under the eyes of the law;

whereas it furthermore:

directly interferes with the core concepts of Westphalian sovereignty (this term is defined by Boundless World History [a Lumen Learning collegiate course] as, "The principle of international law that each nation-state has sovereignty over its territory and domestic affairs, to the exclusion of all external powers, on the principle of non-interference in another country’s domestic affairs, and that each state [no matter how large or small] is equal in international law; the doctrine is named after the Peace of Westphalia, signed in 1648") in that the resolution also:

removes sovereignty over a state's territory and domestic affairs;

does not exclude all external powers;

violates the principle of non-interference;

violates the principle of state-equality (id est all states are equal in the eyes of international law).

Resubmitted and links to the factbooks removed, but still contains a lot of RL references which are all bolded.

[Bananaistan]

No operative clause. If there was one, the legislation wouldn't do anything (not illegal, just the biggest loophole I've ever seen).

Optionality is illegal.

[Tsaivao]

General Assembly Resolution #545 “Military Death Penalty Ban” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

(Genreal Assembly Resolution #545 category:Civil Rights) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

To the assembly,
Abolishing the Military death Penalty will let war criminals who have cimitited crimes aginst humanity free from the punishments desverved for said crimes.If Certain States deem this punishment appropriate they should be allowed to do so It would be unfair for people that have done unspeakable acts aginst another human being without a justifed cause,but that be desided by the state of which the crime was cimitied in.If the leader cannot choose on a punishment the criminal will face a Grand jury.

Other than the atrocious spelling and formatting, this is legislating inside a repeal.

The World Assembly,

Noting that the average world trend has been relatively constant for "Scientific Advancement", this resolution would call for an increase funding for Overall Research which would significantly increase the Scientific Advancement rating for nations. The resolution would also call for an increase in issue drafting relating to Scientific Advancement.

To clear any misconceptions, the following will be defined:

Research: The systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
Oxford Languages

Overall Research: Research of any and all topics which would provide a nation with a higher rating for "Scientific Advancement and would lead to an overall increasingly developed nation.
Cajland

This resolution does acknowledge the following constraints concerning research:

Research can be costly and can affect a nation economically.

Research is a specific issue and nations do not have many chances to influence changes on this topic.

Even with these constraints, it is still possible to affect the overall influence on scientific advancement and to still keep a decent economy. This would be possible through increasing research in areas where revenue can be made.

Relating to issue drafting, this resolution calls for drafting issues that relates to the funding for research and the possible outcomes.

This one also has branding (citing second definition as themselves), metagaming (requesting additional issue drafting for scientific advancement in opening clause), and operative clause rule

Legalize Marijuana
Proposed By: Philipastan
Category: Health
Area of Effect: Healthcare
ID: philipastan_1617737955

The General Assembly,

Noting that marijuana is a form of medicine and is NOT a drug,

Concerned that the rights of many citizens to take this medicine has been taken,

Confused about what else to put next because I'm a little too high,

Hereby:

1. Legalize marijuana in every WA complying state

Rule Broken: Branding ("I'm a little too high")

Repeal: "Military Death Penalty Ban"

Rules Broken: Proposal Basics (not addressed to the GA), bloggy, not proposed as law, no operative clause

This is literally addressed “to the assembly”, but that’s not a rule anyway. Sometimes under the branding rule or proposal basics, we rule a proposal illegal if it’s clearly not written from the POV of the IC GA. That’s not clear in this case. It would harsh to rule it illegal just because the author included because of this opening.

I don’t think it’s bloggy either. It has arguments for repeal set out.

I’m not sure what you mean by “not proposed as law”. This is a repeal so the full weight of the proposal basics rule doesn’t apply but repeals still have to be somewhat law like. I think this is.

Repeals don’t require an explicit operative clause, the automatically generated text “... shall be struck out ...” is sufficient.

I’m not having a go at you here, I generally appreciate reading players’ opinions in this thread. Just in this case I’d struggle to rule this illegal.

General Assembly Resolution #141 “Permit Male Circumcision” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

While understanding that male circumcision may be performed for a range of medical and religious reasons, it is also conceivable that this practice, when performed on minors without their consent for non-medical reasons, can be construed by Member Nations as genital mutilation and torture.

As such the World Assembly declares that male circumcision may be outlawed by a Member Nation when performed on minors for non-medical reasons.

This resolution does not obligate Member Nations to institute a prohibition on non-medical male circumcision performed on minors.

The ban on outlawing male circumcision on adult males- for whatever reason- shall remain in place.

Are they trying to legislate within a repeal?

[Tsaivao]

General Assembly Resolution #141 “Permit Male Circumcision” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

In recognition that some member nations may view circumcision of minor males for non-medical reasons as genital mutilation and torture, GAR #141 is hereby repealed

This seems to me like a NatSov-only repeal

I have a idea to plan a guard scheme to keep the peace

Violates so many things such as proposal basics, does nothing, branding, etc.

[Tsaivao]

I hereby propose that all employers protect their employees when they are at work within the company and also they should have duty of care to their customers and to the general public in the store. So I propose to bring in legislation to beef up worker,s rights and the rights of the consumer,s in the store.

I implore all nations to support this bill as this will beef up worker,s rights and the rights of the consumer,s . So please support this legislation.

Branding, no operative clause, duplication of like 6 other resolutions
