The World Assembly

The General Assembly,

CONCERNED that many of the water supplies are contaminated with harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, parasites, viruses, etc.

REALIZING that some individuals, businesses, and nations dump hazardous materials, including biological, chemical, and radioactive waste that can enter water supplies

MOST, if not all of the toxins and harmful micro-organisms can cause illness, long-term health problems, or even death

NOTING that water is essential for most forms of life

ALSO NOTING that there are WA nations that may have a weak economy and therefore are unable to afford purified drinking water

CONCERNED that national populations could become infected by water-borne disease, which could spread to cause an epidemic;

HEREBY:

CREATES the World Assembly Water Purification Treatment (WAWPT) to assist nations in cleaning and treating their water supplies

DECLARES that the WAWPT will create water purification systems to ensure the nations of clean water. If unable to place the water purification systems within their nation, the WAWPT will hire specialists to purify the water manually. If the WAWPT isn't able to purify the water manually, they would ask other nation neighbors whether or not it's possible to build the water purification systems within their land. If the WAWPT is unable to purify water manually, it will ask other neighboring nations for assistance to build water purification systems on their land with due financial compensation.

AFFIRMS that the WAWPT will create a clean universal water system to regulate nations that are low on water and would pump or irrigate water into that nation if it is low. The WAWPT will attempt to persuade and convince other WA members to create and enforce laws against pollution in international waters

PROHIBITS the dumping of toxins/toxic materials in any manner that could possibly contaminate water/water supplies

MANDATES basic education on water toxicity and waterborne disease

OIl Tanker Standards Act
Environmental

RECOGNIZING the need to transportation oil and natural gas across oceans

RECOGNIZING that the transport of oil and natural gas is vital to many national economies

NOTING that many other nations rely on natural gas and oil imports for their oil and natural gas supply

RECOGNIZING the great danger oil spills pose to surrounding animals, plants, and the ocean environment at large

FURTHER RECOGNIZING that double hulled or double bottom ships significantly lower the chances of an oil spill

Therefore, the World Assembly,

ESTABLISHES the World Assembly Oil Transportation Committee to:
1. Ensure oil tankers are kept up to meet requirements
2. To research methods to improve oil tankers and reduce the chance of a spill
3. To research more efficient clean up methods if an oil spill does occur
4. To acquire new technology from member states already possessing it at the member state's consent.
5. To take suggestions of new technology from member states.

MANDATES that every new oil tanker must be equipped with at least a double hull or double bottom to decrease chances of an oil spill;

REQUIRES non-proprietary double-hulled technology be made available to shipbuilders, and that proprietary double-hulled technology be made available at reasonable rate of return for the developer of the technology;

ALSO REQUIRES that all single-hulled tankers are to be phased out and replaced with either double-bottom or double-hulled tankers at the earliest possible time;

MANDATES that each new tanker be equipped with a proper ventilation system for the main tank;

MANDATES that every tanker is to have proper equipment on board to quickly put out fires aboard the vessel;

MANDATES that tanker captains must quickly and promptly report oil spills to the marine and environmental authorities of member states affected so the spill can be quickly contained;

URGES nations to implement other or better safety features aboard oil tankers other than what is specified here
