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 # 363
Preservation of Artefacts
A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.
Esteemed members of the World Assembly,
Acknowledging the tremendous work this esteemed body tirelessly undertakes towards the betterment of the international community.
Proud that years from now, the legislative libraries left behind by this august assembly will leave a historical legacy for the generations to come yet.
Cognizant that whilst our legacy will be preserved, this will not be the case for all nations and their historical footprints.
Resolved to ensuring that no nation simply fades into obscurity.
Hereby;
(I)Mandates that no nation be it occupying, invading, defending or native, or person(s) representing a nation in an official capacity is permitted to destroy an item which, on a reasonable suspicion would lend itself to the belief that this item is of historical significance barring a circumstance of immediate threat to life or limb that would justify said destruction.
(II)Creates the International Historical Archives, a non-profit archive established under and sustained via WA funds thereafter, accompanied by an educational visitor center established as part of this archive, allowing generations current and future to learn of civilisations past and present and to benefit from same.
(III)Mandates that any historical artefact coming to the possession of a government should be;
(a)If native to that land, preserved/displayed in a way seen best fit by the government of the day.
(b)(I)If not native to that land transferred to the IHA for analysis, cataloguing, display and preservation post any scientific analysis deemed appropriate by the discovering party (unless such analysis would risk the destruction of said artefact), without delay or,
(b)(II)If not native to that land and the movement/transfer of such would result in irreperable damage to, or destruction of the artefact in question, preserved in situ until such a time as it can be safely removed.
(c)If an item is discovered by an invading force and would be native to the land in which it is discovered, subsection (b) will apply.
(IV)Clarifies that the purpose of the IHA is purely the preservation of historical items for educational and scientific reasons and that should any national government wish to reclaim an item archived pursuant to (III)(a) the archive will comply with this request.
(V)Further clarifies that if an item is sent to the IHA pursuant to section III(B) or III(C) and subsequent tests reveal it to be an item native to the land of discovery, section (IV) will apply.
(VI)Encourages further national governments to volunteer their own artefacts to the IHA for educational display and preservation purposes.
Defining for the purpose of this act;
Historical Significance as; important in the historical growth, development or understanding of a culture, nation, civilization or person of note.

General Assembly Resolution # 364
Repeal: “Cyber Security Convention”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #360 “Cyber Security Convention” (Category: International Security; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Commending GAR #360's goals of reducing cyber terrorism, and ensuring the security of networks, computers, and other such technologies,
Convinced that despite the good intentions of the target resolution, it fails to meet the standards of quality, and ethics, expected from the World Assembly,
Noting the entirely extraneous definition of 'cyber technology',
Confused by the target resolution's usage of the undefined term 'cyber devices',
Disturbed at the fact that the target resolution forces Member-States to infringe the personal freedoms of their citizenry in regards to the security of networks, computers, and other such technologies,
Further Disturbed by the target Resolution's mandate to "... actively pursue and prosecute individuals or groups actively engaging in or promoting cyber terrorism by any means necessary", effectively forcing Member-States to infringe the rights of their citizenry, while in pursuit of cyber terrorists,
Alarmed by the target Resolution's failure to classify attacks for the purpose of obtaining information as cyber warfare or terrorism,
Extremely Annoyed by the continued and constant usage of the term 'cyber' within the text, and title, of the target resolution,
Hoping that a superior resolution takes its place,
Hereby Repeals General Assembly Resolution # 360, Cyber Security Convention.

General Assembly Resolution # 365
Law Enforcement Education
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.
The purpose of this resolution is to increase the education of both the police and the public on how to maintain a trusting relationship to lower crime and increase safety.
RECOGNIZING The growing distrust of law enforcement by the general public
WORRIED That due to this distrust citizens are less likely to contact and cooperate with law enforcement hence increasing crime
UNDERSTANDING That by educating both the public and the police on how to maintain a healthy and mutual relationship we would resolve this issue
NOTING That the World Assembly supports global stability and the protection of citizens. By educating both the public and the police we will lower crime and increase safety.
ACKNOWLEDGING That this is a two way issue, the public needs to be educated on how to respect the police and in turn the police need to be educated on how to respect the rights of the public.
GRACIOUS For the hard working law enforcement agencies and responsible law abiding citizens
HEREBY Creates a program to lower crime and increase safety by educating law enforcement and the public
1) All law enforcement agencies in participation World Assembly Nations are required to hold public meetings to discuss issues with the public in order to increase understanding and cooperation.
2) Funds will be needed to create educational programs for law enforcement officers so that they will be trained to deal with the public in a responsible and respectful manner.
3) All law enforcement officers will be required to take the above stated educational program.
This Resolution will increase funding to law enforcement agencies to better educate both members of law enforcement and the public on how to maintain respectful relations. By educating the public and law enforcement agencies we will reduce crime and increase safety by encouraging citizens to cooperate with police and teaching law enforcement to be respectful of citizens rights.

General Assembly Resolution # 366
Repeal: “Stopping Suicide Seeds”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #249 “Stopping Suicide Seeds” (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses - Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Convinced that regulation to prevent the exploitation of farmers is preferable to an outright ban of a technology which has considerable utility in limiting the spread of transgenic crops,
Concerned that these restrictions place an unnecessary technological constraint on food production that increases the chance of famine as populations grow faster than food output,
Noting that the target resolution does not ban the domestic for-proft production of these seeds whilst burdening governments with unnecessary restrictions that compromise competitiveness, technological advantages, trade secrets, and national autonomies, and
Believing that 249 GA's ban on a 'genetic modification technique that renders the seeds of a plant sterile' would make it significantly harder to protect native species from the accidental spread of transgenic organisms without prohibitively expensive administrative protocols,
This august World Assembly hereby:
Objects to the ban on 'government funding [of] any for-profit entity that is engaged in GURT or [its] research', as nations should be able to fund those emergent technologies they believe are necessary to maintain their competitiveness in the global economy;
Protests the fact that private companies must disclose trade secrets developed after significant investment to a world agency without any guarantee that their investments will be protected, opening the door for foreign corporate espionage;
Disapproves of the ban on 'transport across a national border, without preapproval from WAFDRA, of any plant or seed that has been modified using GURT' as national governments are quite able to regulate their own foodstuffs without the pre-approval of an inefficient international committee;
Hopes for replacement legislation that corrects these issues without the collateral damage noted to the environment, national competitiveness, technological advantages, trade secrets, and national autonomies;
Repeals 249 GA 'Stopping Suicide Seeds'.

General Assembly Resolution # 367
Repeal: “Preservation of Artefacts”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #363 “Preservation of Artefacts” (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Cultural Heritage) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
This august World Assembly,
Concerned about the failure of adequately define 'historical significance' and establish a bar which would adequately and effectively determine what needs to be preserved;
Cognisant that there are over twenty-five thousand World Assembly member nations and that 363 GA creates an International Historical Archive, which is charged with the creation of a museum which will 'generations current and future to learn of civilisations past and present';
Baffled at the likely projected costs of such a project given the number of civilisations which have existed both in the past and the present;
Certain that the 'WA funds' which are alluded to in 363 GA § 2 are not endless and that the source of those funds originates from member nations, thereby requiring more and more funds over time as history does not end;
Concerned that culturally significant military targets, even if they are currently used as active military installations, are protected from destruction, even if those targets would facilitate the loss of many lives; and
Believing that protection of cultural artefacts is already ensured by 287 GA 'Cultural Site Protection'; hereby
Repeals 363 GA, 'Preservation of Artefacts'.
