General Assembly Resolutions
Since the rise of the World Assembly from the ashes of its predecessor, the Bureaucracy That Cannot Be Named, WA member nations have worked tirelessly to improve the standard of the world. That, or tried to force other nations to be more like them. But that's just semantics.
Below is every World Assembly resolution ever passed.

General Assembly Resolution # 149
On Expiration Dates
A resolution to reduce income inequality and increase basic welfare.
The World Assembly,
ASSERTING its belief that the people of all nations have a right to live without unnecessary fears of damage to their physical well-being,
RECOGNIZING that many companies produce goods which significantly degrade or cease to function after a period of time,
BELIEVING that the average length of time that certain goods last must be known in order to promote the safety of the consumer,
NOTING that this holds true for items such as medical supplies/equipment and food,
DEFINES, solely for the purposes of this resolution, a "necessity" as any item which is intended for organic consumption and/or an item that, if it was not in proper condition or if it was not functioning, would lead to the deprivation of any sort of bodily activity that is required for the extension of any organism's lifetime,
CHARGES any distributor of any necessity to attain an accurate and average prediction of how long each and every necessity that they distribute will last until it degrades to a level of quality at which it will directly "lead to the deprivation of any sort of bodily activity that is required for the extension of [one's] lifetime,"
MANDATES that the distributors of a necessity provide, in a readily comprehensible fashion, all of the information that they have been charged to acquire by the previous clause to any who wish to view it,
FURTHER MANDATES that any recipient(s) of a necessity be provided with the information on how long the exact necessity that they are receiving lasts by the distributor of said necessity.

General Assembly Resolution # 150
Repeal: “Guns and Mental Capacity”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #134 “Guns and Mental Capacity” (Category: Gun Control; Decision: Tighten) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
THE WORLD ASSEMBLY:
UNDERSTANDS that the aims of this resolution are laudable,
REALIZES, however, that there are far too many loopholes in the resolution text to be an easily enforceable resolution,
LAMENTS the use of definitions within the resolution text that were far too non-specific and general.
"GUNS" would include the following:
Children's toys, such as water guns, paintball guns, marshmallow guns, etc.
Industrial equipment, such as welding equipment, heating guns, hole punchers for leather or sheet metal, etc.
Environmental care equipment, such as leaf blowers, snow blowers, etc.
Self defense or survival tools, such as pepper spray, signal flares, etc.
Spray bottles that contain pesticides, paint thinners, cleaning solvent, etc.
"MENTALLY INCOMPETENT" would include the following:
Young children, who would then be unable to use toys specifically created for their use and enjoyment.
Individuals who suffer from anorexia or bulimia or a similar self-image disorder.
Anyone who has ever had a delusional fever.
Gullible and/or misinformed individuals.
Individuals who are being properly and sufficiently treated for a psychiatric disorder.
REGRETS the passage of a resolution that would outlaw legitimate weapons testing and also the testing of items that are inaccurately categorized as guns for the purposes of this resolution.
NOTES that Article VI references a test for the purposes of Article IV, but that Article IV does not reference the use of any test whatsoever.
FEARS that the tests detailed in Articles III and V are not detailed at all within the resolution text. The lack of specificity or guidelines whatsoever leaves the content and nature of the test(s) entirely up to individual member nations. This would allow for individual national governments to subvert the intent of the proposal by creating test(s) that fit with their own desires.
WORRIES that the publishing of the test(s) on the ULC may allow for individuals to study to their nations test(s) beforehand, thus allowing legitimately incompetent individuals to game the system.
UNDERSTANDS that these shortcomings of the resolution text make this laws enforcement and effect dubious, at best.

General Assembly Resolution # 151
Missing Individuals Act
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.
THE WORLD ASSEMBLY:
UNDERSTANDS that individuals of all genders and ages are reported missing,
REALIZES that most nations have procedures already in place to assist in the safe recovery of all missing individuals,
REQUIRES that all WA member nations have reasonable protocols in place that both prevent abductions of their residents and also aid in the safe recovery of all missing individuals,
SPECIFIES that member states may determine whether runaways from within their jurisdiction should be returned to their home,
URGES for the creation and utilization of a family counseling program to be used in all cases where a runaway is returned to their home,
CREATES the Missing Individuals Archive (MIA) in order to facilitate cooperation between local, national, and international law enforcement agencies with regards to individuals who have been lost, abducted, or run away,
MANDATES that the relevant local and national agencies share relevant information through MIA and also cooperate with other WA member nations whenever it is suspected or known that a missing individual has moved across a national border,
ENCOURAGES the development of strong working relationships between WA member nations and any neighboring nations in order to better coordinate international efforts in the event of an international missing persons case.
STIPULATES that all who were knowingly involved in the abduction of an individual shall be prosecuted to the full extent of national and international law,
ALLOWS for WA member nations to add additional protocols and procedures within their own borders as appropriate for their nation's population and cultural needs.

General Assembly Resolution # 152
Repeal: “WA Environmental Council”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #42 “WA Environmental Council” (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses - Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
APPLAUDS the intentions of WA Environmental Council, and recognizes the benefits of environmental protection,
REALIZES, however, there are several flaws with the resolution which make its efficacy limited, at best,
WORRIES about the goals and aims of the WAEC, as it was established without specifics being detailed within the resolution text,
UNDERSTANDS that member nations are not required to assist WAEC research, cooperate with the WAEC, nor comply with suggestions related to published scientific reports, which further undermines the WAEC,
RECOGNIZES that the WAEC has no legal authority to resolve environmental problems, and is therefore powerless to act in the face of environmental problems,
SUBMITS that the shortcomings of this resolution far exceed the potential benefits,
The General Assembly hereby repeals WA Environmental Council.

General Assembly Resolution # 153
Repeal: “Biological Weapons Conference”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #65 “Biological Weapons Conference” (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
OBSERVING that the definition of biological weapons in the 'Biological Weapons Conference' as "[any] infectious or biological agent of any kind that is intended to cause death, permanent illness, or injury" is very imprecise, and may include innocent substances, such as agents used for pest control and the protection of crops, as well as certain herbal remedies;
FURTHER OBSERVING that the resolution both "requires member states to disarm their biological arsenal" and "allows member nations to use such agents for peaceful purposes", implying a more narrow distinction that the definition of biological weapons in the resolution does not actually make;
FINALLY OBSERVING that core concepts of the resolution such as "disarmament" (the objective of the resolution), "biological arsenal" (the intended target) and "other peaceful purposes" (an all purpose loophole) go entirely undefined as well;
CONCERNED that the Biological Weapons Conference does not explicitly ban Member States from using biological weapons, except if a nation were to use them in response to being attacked with biological weapons;
DEEPLY CONCERNED that the same clause states that nations may respond "with any force necessary" to an attack with biological weapons, actively encouraging the use of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in war;
RESOLVES that the 'Biological Weapons Conference' is poorly worded, self-contradictory and does not help to promote international peace;
REPEALS the 'Biological Weapons Conference'.
