General Assembly Proposals

The World Assembly,

Praising the work already done to unify safety standards for commercial transport, as well to establish regulations for the cleanup of hazardous spills and leaks,

Aware that inconsistent requirements for the labeling of hazardous material creates legal, technical, and practical obstacles to free trade,

Concerned that the current lack of regulation allows for inadequate markings, markings which vary by nation or even province, and markings which are not internationally understandable,

Conscious that confusion regarding hazardous goods increases the danger and likelihood of an accident during transportation,

Troubled by accidental spills impact on free trade through the full or partial closure of roadways, ports, and other trade routes,

Noting that when accidents occur involving hazardous materials, first responders' optimal actions depend on the precise nature of the hazardous good, particularly with regards to flammability, reactivity, and toxicity, and that improper actions of first responders can increase damage to trade infrastructure, and puts the lives of those in the vicinity of the accident at risk,

Hereby,

Entrusts the International Transport Safety Committee (ITSC) with creating a labeling system to communicate the important risks and dangers of materials in a manner that is both noticeable and as universally recognizable as possible;

Further entrusts the ITSC to establish vessel specific standards as to the optimal size, number, and placement of warning symbols;

Charges the ITSC with the responsibility of periodically reviewing the labeling system for modernization or other improvements, while balancing the benefits of consistency;

Mandates nations adhere to the ITSC's standards when transporting hazardous materials across international borders, except where compliance interferes with national security;

Empowers the ITSC to levy punitive measures on responsible organizations or government bodies for non-compliance, including mandatory training or fines (the proceeds of which shall go to the WA General Fund);

Urges vessels also adhere to the ITSC labeling guidelines for the transportation of hazardous materials in non-mandated situations;

Requires ITSC disseminated training materials be given to relevant professionals and other interested parties;

Suggests the display of ITSC labels in areas used for the long term storage of hazardous goods.

General Assembly Resolution #128 “On Abortion” (Category: Human Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

GA Resolution #128 shall henceforth be rendered inactive, due to its insistence, in clauses 1a, 1b, and 7, that it be mandated upon WA member nations to allow the option of abortions in what are possibly unjustified situations that inappropriately take that which can potentially be considered a human life.
The Resolution further dictates in clause 7 that such life CANNOT be protected by law from actions that would perverse its rights (e.g: the seeking of abortions for reasons not addressed in clause 1 of the Resolution), and as such forces WA nations to condone what is possibly an evil.

Defining An Animal as a non-human mammal, bird, reptile, or amphibian

Defining euthanasia as the purposeful killing of an animal for reasons other than harvesting of flesh, or for reasons of self-defense or defense of others;

Acknowledging that In many nations, Animals can be euthanized for attacking humans who have signifigantly provoked them, and/or they can be euthanized legally on an owner’s command, even if a veterinarian deems it unnecessary, this Resolution Commands the following:

1. Natural instincts (e.g. protection of young) shall not be grounds for euthanasia of an animal. If an animal is endangering human lives as a result of natural instincts, non-lethal methods must be used.

2. An animal that has suffered animal cruelty as defined by law, shall not be euthanized for attacking the person(s) that have/has abused that animal.

3.In regards to euthanasia for humane reasons, A minimum of two certified veterinarians must give written proof, that in their professional opinion, euthanasia is the most humane option, and that no other treatment options are available.

The WA takes away the freedoms from it's member states!
The WA does not let nations rule themselves!
The WA forces nations to abide by passed laws even when it goes against a nation's beliefs!

Free The Nations And REMOVE THE WORLD ASSEMBLY!
