General Assembly

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 # 180
A Decriminalization of Suicide
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
The General Assembly,
Noting that modern psychiatry has come to recognize suicidal tendencies as a common response to depression or a symptom of mental illness,
Believing that the religious or moral prohibitions of self-murder are not strong enough to justify the sentencing and incarceration of those who attempt and fail to commit suicide, since this punishment may only further damage the subjects mental state,
Hereby:
Affirms that the act of intentionally ending ones own life, hereby defined as suicide, shall not be a criminal offense or breach of law in any member-nation;
a. Additionally, the act of attempting to commit suicide shall not be a criminal offense or breach of law in any member-nation;
b. Member-states shall not impose taxation on suicide or attempted suicide (see cl.3);
c. Member-states shall not withhold inheritance, tax credit or other benefits on the basis that one died specifically by suicide. However, if a member-state is an insurer it may withhold life insurance to beneficiaries if the insured died by suicide;
d. Any ongoing punishment for breaching laws that do not comply with this resolution shall cease immediately;
Requests that member-states and their respective legal systems take care in distinguishing between activities of a potentially careless and/or life-threatening nature (e.g., recreational substance use, failure to use safety equipment) and specific acts that are intended by one to end one's own life;
Demands a state shall not respond to someone who has attempted suicide as it would respond to a criminal offender simply because they acted to end their own life;
a. If a subject committed criminal offenses in the course of an attempted suicide, the subject could be convicted for those offenses but the actual act of attempted suicide would not be a criminal offense;
b. If a subject's suicide attempt directly affects the health and safety of others (e.g., suicide bombing), the subject may be convicted for posing a harm to others but the actual act of attempted suicide would not be a criminal offense;
c. If a suicidal person has not breached the law but is to be institutionalized, this institution must be a dedicated mental health facility, separate from the criminal justice system or penitentiaries;
Recognizes a desire to attempt suicide motivated by many of the common underlying motivations behind suicide (e.g., despair, depression, substance abuse) is a medical emergency which demands therapy and treatment;
Clarifies that nothing in this act shall impact whether member-nations can criminalize the forcing, assistance, aid or abetment of suicide.

General Assembly Resolution # 181
Repeal: “Medical Blockade Restriction”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #74 “Medical Blockade Restriction” (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The General Assembly,
LAUDING the intent of GAR#74 - that being, to allow medical supplies and personnel to freely pass through blockades in order to ensure that individuals are not harmed as a result of political conflict,
WHOLLY AGREEING with the assertion that "[L]ife is fundamentally more important than political or international affairs,"
YET ASTUTELY AWARE that no amount of meritorious intent can compensate for the flaws of any text,
ACKNOWLEDGING that GAR#74 stated, in relevant part:
"REQUIRES any blocking force or forces to grant vessels carrying medical supplies and personnel passage."
APPALLED that such a provision effectively negates the purpose of a blockade, in the sense that any vessel, regardless of its intended content, can be granted free passage through a blockade, so long as it contains medical supplies and personnel.
PERPLEXED by how a World Assembly Statue can be used to guide the searching of delivery vessels, and further contending that such searches are ineffective given that passage cannot be prevented as long as the vessel contains medical supplies and/or personnel, regardless of its other contents.
DESIROUS of a resolution that effectively ensures the transportation of necessities of sapient life, such as medical supplies, while simultaneously allowing nations to enforce their blockades.
Due to these enumerated reasons,
THE WORLD ASSEMBLY THEREFORE REPEALS GAR#74.

General Assembly Resolution # 182
Renewable Research Commitment
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
Description: A proposal to encourage nations to fund renewable energy research.
ARGUMENT:
AWARE that the use of fossil fuels and fossil fuel related products depletes the limited reserves upon planets
UNDERSTANDS that the burning of fossil fuels such as coal to produce electricity releases the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming as well as other noxious compounds that can later cause acid rain as well as other environmental issues,
CONCERNED that this rapid depletion would leave no way to produce energy for future generations,
KNOWS that there are other ways to generate electricity without using fossil fuels. These include, but is not limited to, solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro,
HEREBY:
1) Instructs World Assembly nations to devote sufficient funding in order to make a meaningful and good faith effort towards researching renewable energy
2) Encourages nations to enact policies on fossil-fuel burning power plants to commit a minimum 5% from their expenditure to further renewable energy research and to develop ways to better utilize alternative energy sources
3) Urges nations to take into account and implement results from the renewable energy research
IN ORDER to allow future generations to produce electricity without further polluting the atmosphere.

General Assembly Resolution # 183
Defense of Self and Others
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
The World Assembly,
NOTING the existence of persons who threaten the safety and/or life of other persons,
RECOGNISING that such threats may require those threatened or others to respond with force in order to protect themselves or others,
BELIEVING that those who use such force to protect themselves or others should not be punished for this,
ACKNOWLEDGING the possibility that forceful responses in the defense of self or others may be excessive,
Hereby
DEFINES "reasonable force" as an amount of force within a reasonable degree of the smallest amount of force necessary to protect one's self or others from an imminent threat to safety and/or health by another person or group of persons,
DECLARES that no person who uses reasonable force to defend themselves or others from another person or group of persons shall face persecution or prosecution for the use of this force,
PLACES the duty of ascertaining whether the force used in such situations was reasonable or not in the hands of the judiciary.
