General 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 # 378
Digital Network Defense
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.
The World Assembly,
Recognizing the importance of digital devices in many nations, and the potential threats they pose in day to day life, especially in terrorist operations,
Seeking to prevent the occurrence of crimes committed on digital devices, and secure such devices for safe use by both military and civilian users,
Defines, for the purposes of this resolution,
"digital device" as any artificial equipment that utilizes information in numerical form.
"network" as any group of digital devices which are connected to allow the transmission and receiving of numerical information between devices in the group.
"cyberattack" as any act of unlawful access to or alteration of numerical information stored on digital devices. For the purposes of cooperation with other WA legislation, such acts are to be considered acts of violence.
Encourages nations which possess digital devices to assist in securing such devices against cyberattacks;
Requires nations to make a reasonable effort to secure networks against the threat of cyberattacks;
Prohibits member nations from engaging in cyberattacks themselves, with the exception that member nations may utilize cyberattacks against networks belonging to foreign combatants with which they are in conflict, or against government networks of nations they reasonably suspect pose a real threat to their nation;
Mandates that nations establish cyberattacks as criminal offenses, and ensure individuals caught committing acts of cyberattack are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law;
Reserves the right of member nations to monitor networks for digital security threats, should national law allow them to do so.

General Assembly Resolution # 379
Repeal: “Nuclear Arms Protocol”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #308 “Nuclear Arms Protocol” (Category: Global Disarmament; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Recognizing that it is the foremost duty of this World Assembly to preserve the peace that allows this organisation to arbitrate between the nations of the world and create greater happiness and fulfilment;
Noting above all that it is the risk of total war that ultimately hangs over the international community and is the principal enemy of peace and fulfilment; in particular, the further expansion and use of nuclear weapons does not minimise this risk and the damage of war but in fact aggrandizes it;
Realising that not only do forces against international cooperation strengthen this threat, but also well-meaning acts that in fact stand between this World Assembly and greater peace: namely, legislation of the General Assembly that does little to confront this issue and rather prevents any real actions being done to confront the issue, on the basis that this legislation nominally accomplishes what is required;
Thus recognizing that if we wish to achieve real action against aggressive stockpiling and use of nuclear weapons by member states, repealing GAR#308 will be a step in the right direction, due to a number of key and disturbing defects in this piece of legislation, namely:
I: The exact circumstances defined in Item 2 remain distinctively unclear, and can allow belligerent nations to target civilian areas with nuclear weapons on the basis that any military assets are situated there, with no way of establishing whether the other nation deliberately established a policy of concealing ‘key strategic military assets’ within civilian areas;
II: Furthermore, the repercussions of this flaw affect Item 3, which removes all the restrictions provided in this Act in the event of one nation breaching them by deliberately targeting civilian areas, thus creating the potential of both sides being restricted in no way in their use of nuclear weapons in the event of such an incident described in Article I;
III: Above all, this legislation – though no doubt proposed with noble intentions – provides no way of enforcing the rules set out post facto, in the event of one of the accords being breached by a belligerent, particularly if it was breached under circumstances which are unclear whether they are permitted under Item 2.
Above all, this World Assembly must recognize that repealing this faulty piece of legislation will allow nations to establish new rules of warfare in a real and genuine effort to end international conflict, in an effort in which clearer terms may be set down.
Therefore, this World Assembly shall repeal General Assembly Resolution 308 "Nuclear Arms Protocol".

General Assembly Resolution # 380
Humanitarian Aid Expansion Act
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.
Concerned by the disturbing rise and phenomenon of natural disasters in many areas and the lives lost as a result; yet,
Aware that natural disasters will always occur, with or without government intervention; however,
Hopeful that at the very least, more lives can be saved with increased humanitarian aid to the rising number of afflicted areas near or around natural disasters;
The World Assembly hereby:
Defines “natural disaster” as a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society, caused by naturally occurring phenomenon and involving widespread population, material, economic or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources.
Further Defines "security check" as any measure(s) a host nation chooses to take to verify the identity, authenticity, and/or lack of a security threat of personnel and aid that are requested to enter the borders of the host nation in order to fulfill their duties as mandated by the International Humanitarian Aid Coordination Committee.
Highly recommends that the host nation attempt to provide efficient distribution of and easy access to any available domestic or foreign humanitarian aid with assistance from nearby member nations if the host nation is unable to support itself. All humanitarian aid originating from outside the borders of the host nation are subject to any extensive security checks imposed by the host nation in order for it to be sent to the afflicted areas.
Mandates that host nations allow any personnel working with humanitarian organizations that are involved with the relief effort to enter afflicted areas, with all personnel being subject to any extensive security checks imposed by the host nation. If the personnel pass the security checks, the host nation must provide transportation so the personnel can reach the afflicted areas, if deemed necessary.
Requires the maintaining or rebuilding, if necessary, of essential infrastructure in threatened areas, such as hospitals and distribution centers, which is necessary to provide effective disaster relief in times of crisis.
The International Humanitarian Aid Coordination Committee shall be expanded to:
Be granted authority to send out unbiased inspectors, who are appointed by the powers within the WA, to conduct inspections of the essential infrastructure and supplies stockpiles, without interference from the host nation, within threatened areas inside host nations, especially during times when a natural disaster is believed to be imminent.
Grant funds to international humanitarian organizations based in member nations which are involved in active disaster relief operations in order to ensure that the necessary resources are present.

General Assembly Resolution # 381
Repeal: “Humanitarian Aid Expansion Act”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #380 “Humanitarian Aid Expansion Act” (Category: Health; Area of Effect: International Aid) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The General Assembly,
Confident that humanitarian aid has already been expanded by passing such resolutions as 340 GA "Access to Humanitarian Aid" and 51 GA "Humanitarian Aid Coordination";
Concerned about a number of issues with the resolution that cause unintended consequences, most of which were not picked up due to the premature submission and passage of the target resolution;
Conceding that repeal is the only option, as it is impossible to amend legislation and patch these issues;
Worried about the incredible costs associated with:
forcing governments to expand their public sectors and subsidise rebuilding efforts when a nation may simply choose to move people out of harm's way via evacuation and
transportation to and fro for foreigners at the national expense;
Troubled by the possibility of using this resolution to bypass quarantine regulations, since the resolution fails to provide any clauses allowing nations to prevent aid workers from entering quarantine areas; and
Flabbergasted with the requirement in 380 GA § 6(b) of rewarding nations which are unwilling to help their own citizens by wasting World Assembly funds in paying private organisations to provide 'aid' without any necessary oversight to ensure that World Assembly contributions are not wasted, squandered, or used to commit crimes against the people which this resolution would ostensibly help; hereby
Repeals 380 GA "Humanitarian Aid Expansion Act".

General Assembly Resolution # 382
Environmental Warfare Act
A resolution to slash worldwide military spending.
The World Assembly,
DISMAYED at the damage caused to ecosystems by the introduction of invasive species,
RECOGNIZING the suffering of nations whose ecosystems are affected by these species,
FURTHER RECOGNIZING the major national security threat such species could represent,
Hereby,
1. DEFINES, for purposes of this resolution:
"Invasive Species" as a non-native, non-sapient species whose behavior results in extreme harm to ecosystems into which it is introduced,
"Environmental Warfare" as the intentional introduction of an invasive species into a foreign ecosystem for purposes of damaging it,
2. PROHIBITS member nations from carrying out acts of environmental warfare against other nations,
3. MANDATES member nations take reasonable action to prevent those in their nation from carrying out acts of environmental warfare abroad, and to guard against such acts within their own borders,
4. EMPOWERS the World Assembly Commission on Biological Agents to:
Ensure nations remain up-to-date on the latest information regarding identification and prevention of invasive species, and
Aid civilian populations who have been subjected to a environmental warfare attack in mitigating and reversing the effects of such.
