Believing that it is prudent for residents of all states to have access to critical information before, during, and after emergencies,

Noting the creation of international standards regarding emergency broadcasting was urged in GA #570 "Disaster Precautions and Responses", hereby:

1. Defines "emergency event", for the purposes of this resolution, as any serious, unexpected, or dangerous situation requiring immediate action to avoid widespread property damage, injury, or loss of life.

2. All member states must create emergency communications systems which shall be utilized to communicate with their residents regarding emergency events.

3. Member states shall utilize a variety of means to communicate with their citizens during an emergency event. These means shall be commensurate with the technology available in each member state.

4. If an emergency event threatens another nation, the member state first affected must notify that nation of the event so they can promptly communicate with their citizens regarding the emergency if the disaster would otherwise be likely to surprise the other nation.

5. Member states shall prioritize the broadcasting of localized or regionalized messaging in emergency events if practical under the circumstances.

6. Member states are required to undertake regular testing of all emergency communications systems and to ensure that the equipment used, if any special equipment is used, is in good repair.

General Assembly Resolution #357 “Promotion of Clean Energy” (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses - Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Recognizing that GAR#357 “Promotion of Clean Energy” is an important piece of legislation that seeks to promote the use of clean forms of energy in order to reduce and counteract the negative health and environmental impacts of burning fossil fuels,

Noting, however, that GAR#357 fails to adequately provide the milestones and mandates necessary to guide member nations through the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy sources,

Observing that GAR#357 also fails to establish concrete international efforts or collaborative strategies to promote clean energy use amongst member nations,

Believing that any legislation seeking to promote the utilization of clean energy sources should be grounded in international cooperation, research, and technology development,

Convinced that a replacement resolution is necessary to provide member nations with the comprehensive framework and international cooperation needed to drive the switch in energy reliance from fossil fuels to clean energy sources,

Hereby repeals GAR#357 “Promotion of Clean Energy.”

General Assembly Resolution #247 “Rights of Crime Victims” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Believing in the intent behind Resolution 247, “Rights of Crime Victims”, in protecting the victims of crimes from the accused perpetrators, and in securing various rights that victims necessarily should have,

Concerned that several flaws present in Resolution 247 may render it doing a net harm to society and government in member-nations, notably:

1. Ambiguities in clause one that lead to a not-unreasonable interpretation that crime victims must be updated on critical stages of prosecution, regardless of their actual desire to know of the ongoings, which may lead to further trauma or harm to their psyche,

2. The failure of the definition of “the accused”, resulting in all clauses regarding the accused to apply to acquitted individuals, due to the phrasing of the clause possibly meaning “any person who has been charged in the past with a crime”,

3. The failure of the resolution to connect “the accused” with the “crime victim” explicitly, possibly allowing any person considered a crime victim to be afforded all the rights in the resolution against any person considered to be the accused, even if the cases are wholly unrelated,

4. Not inherently allowing the immediate family of a crime victim to be afforded the rights as listed under Resolution 247 if death or incapacitation falls upon the crime victim, but is unrelated to the crime in question, which may lead to awkward, unfortunate, or otherwise harmful situations to the families of incapacitated crime victims,

Certain that while a resolution can be written in order to further protections of victims, Resolution 247 fails to uphold a standard ensuring a fair trial to all, as well as having notable ambiguities that make the proposal ineffective in tempering malicious or otherwise incompetent nations,

Hopeful that most reasonable member-nations will impose rights similar to those intended to be applied by the target, and unfortunately knowing that due to subpar writing, unreasonable or malevolent nations can find holes to bypass the intent of the resolution and further their own agenda regardless of this legislation on the topic,

Hereby repeals Resolution 247, “Rights of Crime Victims”.

General Assembly Resolution #584 “Paid Leave Act” (Category: Regulation; Area of Effect: Labour Rights) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The General Assembly,

Praising GA#584 Paid Leave Act's noble intent to let workers have both social lives and work lives, yet saddened by a few unfortunate provisions,

Dismayed that Clause 4 of GA#584 potentially allows employers to quickly fire workers giving notice of their upcoming requests for paid leave as the clause fails to protect workers from retaliation after alerting their employer that they might take paid leave soon, but before the actual paid leave is, and Clause 3 unfortunately only protects workers from retaliation while they are on paid leave or because they filed for paid leave; since alerting an employer of future paid leave is not equivalent to filing for paid leave, workers receive zero protection from losing their job right before a period during which they cannot work, an unfortunate tragedy and a resolution-sinking loophole,

Outraged that Clause 5 of GA#584 places the burden of paid leave financial compensation on unrelated member states, as it “allows any employer of a worker filing for paid leave to require that worker's first member state of citizenship to provide any financial compensation throughout that paid leave”, hurting developing countries as oftentimes those of developing countries move to developed countries to work; it is utterly nonsensical for a member state that receives no tax money from a worker to pay a worker’s paid leave financial compensation,

Appalled that Clause 5 of GA#584 incentivizes employers to stop after employing 49 workers by placing the burden of paid leave financial compensation on member states of employed workers “if [their] employer employs less than fifty workers”, hurting growth and slashing all opportunities for further job development due to this effective economical cap at 49; it would be a tremendous blow to the profit of a small business to suddenly pay all of the paid leave financial compensation of at least 50 workers suddenly,

Disappointed that Clause 5 of GA#584 fails to take into account any social insurance funds of member states allowing employers to take out funds to pay off the compensation, even if that employer has over 49 workers,

Believing that the above offenses act against the intent of the resolution, and in good standing cannot remain in such high-profile law,

Hereby repeals GA#584.

General Assembly Resolution #179 “Clean Prostitute Act” (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Agreeing with GA#179 that the decision of legalising prostitution should be reserved to each member state, and that all prostitutes working in members where it has been legalised should "be regularly screened for sexually transmitted infections" (STIs),

Unnerved that GA#179 almost exclusively focuses on the screening of prostitutes for STIs as a means of preventing the spread of STIs, while not even stopping to consider (for example) the use of contraception by prostitutes and clients, never mind the contact-tracing of those who have contracted STIs through prostitution,

Further concerned that GA#179 also requires that "prostitutes diagnosed with a [STI] abstain from their work until their infection has been cured,"

Recognising that, while there still exist some STIs (especially viruses) that cannot be "cured" as such, antiretroviral drugs exist for many of those STIs; such drugs, if taken properly, reduce those viral load of those STIs by so much that they can no longer be transmitted by the people who take those drugs,

Dismayed that prostitutes who have been infected with uncurable STIs and who take antiretrovirals that nevertheless prevent them from transmitting those STIs to others cannot carry on their work under GA#179 because "their infection has [not] been cured,"

Horrified that GA#179 does not specify at all whose responsibility it is to fund any of the STI screening it describes (however curable or treatable those STIs may be), thus allowing member states to run unsuspecting prostitutes into financial ruin by passing on the entire cost of such screening to them, and

Expressing its hope that a future replacement for GA#179 will not only protect and advance the rights and dignity of all sex workers, but also that it will not arbitrarily prevent them from engaging in sex work simply because they have STIs that they cannot transmit to clients...

The General Assembly hereby repeals GA#179 "Clean Prostitute Act."
