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 # 269
Repeal: “Against Corruption”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #248 “Against Corruption” (Category: Political Stability; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Understanding the inherent problems of bribery and corruption,
Respecting the intent of "Against Corruption"(GA #248),
Noting, however, that the clause on the subject of individuals and organizations contains an error which was acknowledged after GA #248 was already at vote,
Further noting that the error(using the word "nation" rather than "organization") creates a severe flaw in the resolution, forcing organizations to be responsible for the independent actions of every employee, rather than protecting them from rogue actions as intended,
Believing that the appropriateness of gift giving is much easier to ascertain on a local level than through international legislation,
Hereby repeals "Against Corruption"(GA #248).

For: | 10,679 | 85.2% |
Against: | 1,850 | 14.8% |
General Assembly Resolution # 270
Repeal: “Rights of the Disabled Act”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #227 “Rights of the Disabled Act” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Noting that GAR #227, the "Rights of the Disabled Act," is well-intentioned and seeks to protect the mentally disabled; but
Concerned that numerous problems in the text of "Rights of the Disabled Act" make it ineffective and sometimes even harmful;
Troubled that "Rights of the Disabled Act" classifies people as "mentally disabled" based on an arbitrary "two-out-of-four" system, rather than solid medical science and/or the professional opinion of a doctor;
Worried that such a system may be both over-broad by including individuals who are not truly mentally disabled and under-broad by failing to count others who are;
Also Troubled by the mandate in "Rights of the Disabled Act" requiring that the rights of mentally disabled people be exercised by a responsible adult in "necessary cases," without needed clarification about what constitutes a "necessary case" and without any regard to whether the mentally disabled person is able to make sound decisions despite their disability;
Worried that the ambiguity in such a system may result in mentally disabled people being wrongfully denied the ability to exercise their own rights;
Deeply Troubled by the flawed definition of a "responsible adult," which allows an uninterested, non-family member to exercise the rights of a disabled person "in lieu of a suitable candidate;"
Convinced that the many flaws in "Rights of the Disabled Act" render it problematic, unworkable, and sometimes harmful to the very people it is supposed to protect;
For all the forgoing reasons, THE WORLD ASSEMBLY HEREBY REPEALS: General Assembly Resolution #227: "Rights of the Disabled Act"
Passed: |
For: | 10,464 | 84.4% |
Against: | 1,936 | 15.6% |
Security Council Resolution # 123
Commend Luna Amore
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
RECOGNIZING Luna Amore as a nation with incredible accomplishments;
AWARE that Luna Amore controls many unique nations, such as:
1. Luna Amore, the only benevolent dictatorship with an economic rating of imploded.
2. Stella Amore, the only Free Market Paradise with an economic rating of imploded.
3. Galassia, the only Conservative Democracy with an economic rating of imploded.
4. Hovertanks, the only Tyranny by Majority with an economic rating of 100.
5. On beyond zebra and H-, two nations with economic, civil rights, and political freedom ratings of 100.
DULY NOTING that while Luna Amore is not the first nation to register that last accomplishment (a title that instead goes to Tommy Bahama), the achievements are no less impressive;
COGNIZANT that Luna Amore was the nation that originally realized that the previous myth of population growth was incorrect and that population gain followed a different pattern, sparking further research on the issue by Ballotonia;
APPLAUDING Luna Amores efforts to free its region, Free Thought from invasion;
ADMIRING the refounding of Free Thought by Luna Amore to ensure its continued security;
IMPRESSED at how Luna Amore finished off the job by repealing the Liberation resolution with another puppet nation, Revert;
ACKNOWLEDGING Reverts contributions to Osiris since the first few days of that regions history, serving as a major force in bringing the region to the heights it enjoys today;
BEARING in mind these contributions, the Security Council, with great pleasure:
HEREBY COMMENDS Luna Amore.

Security Council Resolution # 124
Commend Bears Armed
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The Security Council;
Determined to see the worthiest nations in existence enshrined in the records of this esteemed council;
Believing that the nation of Bears Armed has made a tremendous positive impact on the international community since it opened itself to outsiders, involving itself in international affairs through the medium of cultural events, sporting competitions, and the WA itself, despite finding itself to be one of the few mainly-Ursine countries in a predominantly Human universe;
Praising the fact that Bears Armed has not fought a single war of aggression since its current constitution was adopted more than two centuries ago, and that despite this it still maintains adequate armed forces not only for its own defence but also for helping to protect its neighbours;
Applauding the Urrsish people and government for the skill with which they have made their nation a very pleasant one in which to live, for example by managing to keep serious crime at a minimal level whilst still allowing high levels of personal freedom, by demonstrating that economic growth need not ruin the environment, and by their support for cultural activities, so that international surveys consistently place it in the highest percentile both for most cultured and for happiest citizens;
Cognizant that Bears Armed has extended this approach to governance to the international stage for the betterment of others through the actions of their World Assembly division Bears Armed Mission which to date has authored the resolutions;
GA#87 - Meteorological Cooperation,
a resolution which formed the International Meteorological Organisation with the purpose of collating and disseminating information regarding weather patterns and anomalies to all member states;GA#168 - Law of the Seas,
which ultimately defined sea borders and helped provide means and ways to resolve international disputes pursuant to same;GA#224 - Promotion of Bee-Keeping,
which not only promoted an avenue of international trade for many nations but also increased the potential for flora and fauna to flourish;and most recently GA#267 - Sensible Limits on Hunting, which, in conjunction with the Resolution GA #199 - Sustainable Fishing Act (the contribution to which by Bears Armed Mission was sufficient to earn them recognition as co-author), helps to guide nations in protecting both their ecosystems and their food supplies;
Further appreciating that while the Urrsish delegation to the esteemed World Assembly has directly produced the above resolutions for international betterment, they have also been instrumental in the refinement of a number of other proposals brought before the General Assembly;
Believing that Bears Armed's contribution to the international stage exceeds the minimum needed to meet the criteria for commendation of "outstanding contribution by a nation" and resolved to correcting this oversight;
Hereby;
Commends Bears Armed.

General Assembly Resolution # 271
Repeal: “Protection of Outer Space Act”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #63 “Protection of Outer Space Act” (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses - Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Applauding efforts to reduce the number of hazardous objects in the orbit of celestial bodies which either do support or may support life,
Understanding, however, that "Protection of Outer Space Act,"(GA#63) contains a number of flaws in its text including, but not limited to:
* Treating outer space as an "environment" to be "polluted," rather than protecting habitats from space borne debris,
* Failing to account for the fact that problems during recycling may be "unnecessary" while also being unintentional and unavoidable,
* Requiring recycling efforts to use methods that are "least likely to cause unnecessary risk" without expanding upon what unnecessary risks it is meant to reduce,
* Urging nations to "remain outside of Outer Space until their crafts and crew are compliant with its(COSC's) standards" without any regard for the fact that development of such technologies is often achieved during the early stages of space exploration,
* Restricting protections to planets that contain nations only, rather than those containing life or life supporting environments,
* Defining the term "outer space" in such a way as to include the space occupied by orbital habitats(while not necessarily protecting their surrounding area from space borne debris) and preventing any future resolution on that topic,
* Further defining the term "outer space" in such a way as to require the "Coordination of Space Consortium(COSC)" to be responsible for most of the observable universe(or approximately 4.077 times 10 to the 32nd power, cubic light-years of space),
Believing that, while the immediate area surrounding habitats and heavily traveled routes deserve some protection, it is lunacy to attempt protection of all of space and ultimately unneeded,
Hereby repeals "Protection of Outer Space Act"(GA#63).
