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.

General Assembly Resolution # 347
Foreign Patent Recognition
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.
Recognizing that many World Assembly member states use patents to encourage scientific and technological innovation,
Believing that the international recognition of patents will incentivize the creation of new inventions throughout all member states while providing inventors with a fair reward for their labours,
The General Assembly,
Defines "invention", for the purposes of this resolution, as a device, method, composition or process that is useful, novel and nonobvious, even to others skilled in the same field;
Further defines "patent", for the purposes of this resolution, as the set of exclusive rights granted to the creator of an invention, including the right:
to use, manufacture, offer for sale and import or export the invention,
to sell or license any of these rights to others,
to seek an injunction and fair damages against any entity that infringes upon these rights, and
to extinguish any of these rights;
Further defines "foreign patent", for the purposes of this resolution, as any patent granted by another member state;
Mandates that each member state recognize the exclusive rights associated with foreign patents for the lesser of the following: ten years after the date on which the patent was granted, or the period used by the member state that granted the patent;
Encourages member states to extend patent terms for inventions which are subject to lengthy regulatory approval processes and other delays that reduce the effective period of protection for such inventions, such as pharmaceuticals;
Authorizes member states to create reasonable limitations and exceptions to the exclusive rights associated with certain foreign patents when:
a substantially similar invention to the invention that is the subject of the foreign patent has been patented by a different inventor in a member state, and the date on which the substantially similar invention was first granted a patent by a member state is prior to the date on which the invention that is the subject of the foreign patent was first granted a patent by a member state,
the invention that is the subject of the foreign patent is not currently being exploited in that member state, and the inventor has no good faith plans to exploit the invention in that member state in the near future,
the member state in which the invention that is the subject of the foreign patent was first granted a patent did not release the relevant patent application in a timely manner, and
such limitations and exceptions are necessary to enforce any additional reasonable and appropriate patent regulations created by that member state, including but not limited to regulations regarding the interpretation of clauses 1 and 2 of this resolution, so long as such regulations remain consistent with the object and purpose of this resolution;
Specifies that international intellectual property disputes, including but not limited to international disputes on copyrights, trademarks, or patents, constitute international trade disputes for the purposes of international law;
Clarifies that nothing in this resolution should be interpreted as requiring member nations to recognize any patents other than foreign patents, nor any patent in respect of an invention that is itself in violation of regulations unrelated to patent law, such as health and safety standards for manufactured goods;
Further clarifies that nothing in this resolution should be interpreted as limiting the World Assembly from further legislating on patents.

Security Council Resolution # 183
Commend Haiku
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
Admiring afar
The peaceful lands of Haiku
Flowing gracefully
For over six years
They have written poetry
Uninterrupted
With five seven five
Three phrases in basic prose
They reveal the world
Calmly and simply
Recording all emotions
For a well lived life
For showing wonder
The Security Council
Thus Commends Haiku!

General Assembly Resolution # 348
Convention on Ceasefires
A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.
Recognizing armed conflict and the resolution of such has a variety of nuance;
Desiring to enforce traditional customs of peacekeeping and negotiations with World Assembly authority without crippling the political advantages military conflict provides, and;
Striving to provide rules of fair conduct for such, that aggrieved parties might find recourse;
Hereby,
1. Defines an armistice as an agreement for the formal cessation of hostilities between armed parties, conditionally or unconditionally, for the purpose of negotiating a lasting peace, that does not necessarily require a halt in armed conflict in the interim;
2. Defines a ceasefire as an agreement between armed parties for the immediate and temporary halt in combat;
3. Strongly encourages member states to agree to a ceasefire for the duration of armistice negotiations, to provide civilian noncombatants the opportunity to voluntarily flee a potentially dangerous area, or to otherwise facilitate peaceful or humanitarian operations within the conflict area.
4. Permits member states to resume hostilities during a ceasefire agreement if:
-
a. There is no fixed duration of the ceasefire, or the fixed duration expires, provided prior notification to a relevant representative of the opposing force is made, or;
b. The ceasefire agreement is declared void due to an opposing partys violation of the terms, provided immediate notification to a relevant representative of the opposing force is made.
5. Binds member states to not violate a ceasefire agreement without an aforementioned legitimate provision.
6. Requires member states negotiate in good faith with their counterpart(s) during an armistice agreement.
7. Mandates member states ensure that representatives who are directly or indirectly participating in armistice or ceasefire negotiations be protected from unlawful injury, assault, or detainment for the duration of the negotiation.
8. Declares that, should the negotiations fail and hostilities recommence, the aforementioned representatives shall have their protections outlined in Clause 7 extended and safe passage granted until such time as they are returned to safely to their territory such that they are not in immediate danger from the conflict.
9. Specifies that the protections and provisions outlined in Clause 6, 7, and 8 may be considered void if clear evidence that an involved party has violated the above provisions comes to light.
10. Further specifies that violation of any of the above clauses without the mitigating circumstances of Clauses 4 or 9 shall be considered a war crime by member states, and violators shall be prosecuted accordingly.
11. Tasks the International Mediation Foundation (IMF) to, upon request, supply impartial arbitrators and locate neutral meeting locations open for all involved parties to access, and shall issue binding arbitrations, with an appeals process, for all participants.
12. Member states shall extend the protections outlined in Clauses 6 and 7 to IMF arbitrators and staff operating in the capacity of their duties at all times.

Security Council Resolution # 184
Commend The Red Fleet
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Noting that The Red Fleet has been active since 2010 as an anti-fascist military dedicated to combating fascism and protecting leftist regions from reactionary aggression,
Aware that The Red Fleet, while a leftist military, maintains a policy of not targeting capitalist regions that are not themselves aligned with aggressive raiders,
Acknowledging notable contributions by The Red Fleet to defending their allies and fighting fascism, including:
coming to the aid of The Internationale after its founder was destroyed by an act of God in November 2013 and assisting with the successful re-establishment of its community in June 2014.
participating in the June 2014 destruction of NAZI EUROPE, an aggressive region that had previously been condemned by this august institution;
organizing Antifa soldiers and sailors in the December 2014 liberation of Anne Frank from Nazi troops, which stands as one of the largest joint operations between imperialist, defender, and anti-fascist militaries in history;
breaking up the Greater German Reich's false-flag raid against Leninist Russia in January 2015, causing embarrassment to the Nazi military;
leading the ongoing operation to destroy the Greater German Reich, a notorious Nazi region whose condemnation by the Security Council is still in effect.
Applauding The Red Fleet's tenacity for surviving the decimation of its Admiralty Board in November 2013 and subsequent nadir in early 2014 to become one of the generational leaders of anti-fascist action,
Hereby Commends The Red Fleet.

Repeal: “Condemn the Greater German Reich”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Security Council Resolution #56 “Condemn the Greater German Reich” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The Security Council,
Recalling that the Greater German Reich was once a Nazi region that disrupted the peaceful activities of regions across the world;
Emphasizing its disgust for the actions undertaken by the previous administration of the Greater German Reich;
Deeply aware that many members of the Greater German Reich, whose actions remain condemnable, have fled to other sympathetic regions;
Further deploring the continued violation of the peace by these criminals;
Lauding the international effort, led by The Red Fleet, to dismantle the destructive regime that had once inhabited the Greater German Reich;
Expressing its appreciation to Danger Zone, DEN, the Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army of The East Pacific, the Europeian Republican Navy, Federation of Anarchist Communes, Fort Chernyi, the Korean Peoples Army of North Korea, the North Pacific Army, the People's Revolutionary Armed Forces of The Communist Bloc, the Royal Navy of The Kingdom of Great Britain, Taijitu Citizens' Militia, The Black Hawks, the Democratic Socialist Assembly, Libcom, the Democratic Socialist Union, The Internationale Brigades, The MT Army, The Mafia of Equinox, and the International Republican Union for their contributions to the aforementioned international effort;
