World 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.

Security Council Resolution # 20
Condemn Greater Tezdrian
A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.
The Security Council,
COMMITTING itself to diplomatic efforts to end international servitude -- a commitment which current General Assembly (GA) legislation demands from member nations,
RECONGNIZING that Greater Tezdrian is the founder and the continued leader of the International Association of Slave Exporting Nations (IASEN),
NOTING that member nations of the IASEN are not obligated to comply to General Assembly legislation as the first clause of the IASEN Code of Rules demands that all [IASEN members] must resign from the World Assembly,
PROTESTING the IASENs marketing and promotion of their so-called noble practice of slavery,
AWARE that the IASEN operates through various storefronts and trade auctions across the world with an excess of over sixty-six million slaves in its possession,
DENOUCING the IASENs variation of National Sovereignty as a flimsy international excuse to abuse and ignore human and civil rights that were protected by anti-slavery GA legislation,
AFFIRMING that Greater Tezdrian and the IASEN have promoted an even worse reputation for national sovereignists regarding human and civil rights,
APPRECIATING the gallant opposition to the IASEN by WA members including Ozymos, Orlkjestad, Kelanis, Uregrea, Windica and former and non-WA members including Ostronopolis, New chalcedon, Questers, Santheres, Allemande, Ralkovia, Marzeron, Hardenburgh and troops from the World Anti-Slavery Organization (WASO) and the Oceanic Defense Coalition (ODECON),
UNDERSTANDING that the aforementioned and highly celebrated upholders of human rights took various actions against the IASEN including
The seizure of slave ships,
Engagements of war,
Trade embargos, and economic sanctions,
Cease and Desist orders,
Anti-Slavery Coalitions,
Financial compensation and incentive for the freedom of the slaves,
ACCEPTING that a condemnation of the IASEN and its unrighteous founder is the very least that the World Assembly can do as an international entity dedicated to improving worldwide human and civil rights,
DEEPLY CONCERNED that the spread of servitude, and the reversal of existing liberties is imminent without early and responsive action towards this growing problem,
HEREBY CONDEMNS Greater Tezdrian.

AWARE that music evolves and changes,
FURTHER NOTING that the preservation of music (both past and present) for future generations is a worthy venture,
RECOGNIZING that an understanding of a nation's music and musical heritage can lead to better appreciation and understanding of said nation's culture,
SUGGESTING that greater understanding of a nation's culture facilitates a greater exchange of art and ideas
HEREBY
ESTABLISHES the Museums of Musical Heritage (MoMH), an association of museums working in cohesion,
DESIGNATES the MoMH as a partnership of museums and institutions dedicated to the compilation, organization, and presentation of music and music related materials, including but not limited to recordings, sheet music, lyrics, and musical instruments,

REQUESTS WITH EARNEST that nations, musicians, composers, recording studios, and music publishing companies donate, lend, share, or otherwise make available the aforementioned materials to the MoMH.

SUGGESTS that nations make access to MoMH facilities and/or MoMHD readily available
FURTHER SUGGESTS that nations work alongside scholars and researchers at MoMH facilities on matters of research and study of the cultural impact of music, musical tradition, and musical heritage.

Security Council Resolution # 21
Commend Imagey Nation
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
THE WORLD ASSEMBLY:
NOTING that, to date, the Free Land of Imagey Nation's extremely successful thread, If you want a seal or logo, has received over 30 000 views and 1 000 responses, to which Imagey Nation has replied quickly, politely, and professionally regarding the creation of nation-specific images;
AWESTRICKEN by the meticulous care, precision, attention to detail, and overall creative genius Imagey Nation puts into his work and also by, not only the artistic and realistic value but the originality of the work,
FURTHER NOTING that Imagey Nation's image thread has been arguably the most successful thread of its kind on NationStates, and without it, images used for role-playing would be both few in number and poor in quality;
ACKNOWLEDGING that these seals, logos, communiqué templates, flags, and other related illustrations produced by Imagey Nation have almost always been received with positive feedback and responses of great thanks, and are still used significantly by the nations that Imagey Nation has been commissioned by;
FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGING that despite being busy, Imagey Nation has had a history of commitment to his thread, and of creating images for the nations that commission him quickly and diligently, and is always willing to further amend his work to suit the ever-changing demands of his patrons, whom he does not charge;
The World Assembly hereby officially presents The Free Land of Imagey Nation with a World Assembly Commendation for outstanding artistic contributions to the international community of NationStates.

General Assembly Resolution # 87
Meteorological Cooperation
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.
The World Assembly,
Understanding that accurate forecasting of the weather and of changes in the climate can be very useful for the agriculture, fishing, tourism, and transport industries, as well as for nations populations in general;
Noting that weather patterns are unlikely to fit neatly within national borders, especially when types of weather with potentially serious effects are involved; that climatic changes can have world-wide effects; and that the more information is available, the more accurately weather-forecasting models can be designed and used;
Realising that for national governments to hinder the flow of meteorological data internationally, whether by policy or neglect, therefore hinders not only other countries meteorological efforts but also those industries for which accurate information about the weather is particularly useful;
Understanding that nations may be reluctant to share information about their current and predicted weather when they are at war, in case that information is of use to their enemies;
1. Establishes a WA Scientific Programme [or WASP], to administer and coordinate whatever agencies are placed under its jurisdiction so as to promote cooperation and reduce wasteful duplication between them;
2. Creates an agency within WASP that is named the International Meteorological Organisation [or IMO], whose duties shall consist of _
A. Collecting information about weather, climate changes, and methods for forecasting these;
B. Conducting and sponsoring research into the development of better forecasting methods;
C. Disseminating this information promptly to any cooperating WA member nations' governments that request this service, with especial promptness when it concerns information about potential disasters, and also providing any WA member nations that request such help with the best possible advice about how to create or improve their own meteorological agencies;
D. Providing actual meteorological services within any WA member nations that currently lack adequate agencies of their own for this duty, if those nations governments request this, in which case reasonable fees may be negotiated depending on those nations abilities to pay;
3. Strongly urges all WA members to cooperate with the IMO by supplying it with all of the relevant information that they possess;
4. Strongly urges any WA members who choose to restrict the spread of relevant information during wartime to save that information and then to send it to the IMO for research purposes after hostilities have ended;
5. Strongly urges any WA members who currently lack adequate meteorological agencies of their own to seek aid from the IMO in this matter;
6. Strongly urges all WA members to have adequate plans in place for dealing with weather-related emergencies;
7. Instructs the IMO to cooperate with any other WA agencies that also have an interest in these matters;
8. Offers the services of the IMO to nations that are not members of the WA too, if their governments are willing to pay negotiated contributions towards its expenses and to send it all relevant information that they possess, except if and when those nations are at war with any WA members;
9. Requires that anybody receiving information originating from IMO must only pass this on to any subsequent users free of charge, rather than sell it.

Security Council Resolution # 22
Condemn Ninja Pirate awesome town
A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.
The World Assembly,
NOTING that Ninja Pirate awesome town has recently created well over 250 puppet nations, boosting their region's ranking of population in the world to 18;
UNDERSTANDING that this move is legal, yet disappointing, unsportsmanlike, and dishonest to others;
NOTING that through two main "puppetmasters", Ninja Pirate awesome town has been using these (at the very least) 250 nations to release false propaganda and spam other regions, nations, and message boards several times, decrease other regions' integrity, and threatening other regions' cultural heritage;
FURTHER NOTING that among the regions affected by this is Imperium Sine Fine;
FURTHER UNDERSTANDING that spam and harassment shouldn't be reasons for a condemnation, as there have already been several bans on this issue, but, rather, the other actions of the region, such as the irritating puppet nations and constant annoyances in general;
BELIEVING that the actions of Ninja Pirate awesome town should be condemned;
HEREBY CONDEMNS Ninja Pirate awesome town for utilising unfair advantages, spam, harassment, and false propaganda.
