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 # 186
Medical Provisions in Blockade
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.
The General Assembly,
UNDERSTANDING that, in the course of international politics and trade, nations may at times place blockades on other nations,
HESITANTLY ACKNOWLEDGING that this unregulated practice may serve as a detriment to those living within an embargoed nation, insofar as member-states may not be able to effectively provide quality healthcare for their citizens.
ASSERTING that sapient life should be considered a higher priority than international politics,
The World Assembly therefore;
DEFINES, for the purposes of this resolution:
"Medical supplies" as any item or collection of items that are used in the delivery of medical advice and/or analysis, as well as the maintenance of general health, inclusive of, but not limited to : medications, medicinal clothing, apparel, surgical equipment, medical examination devices, and medical reference;
"Professional medical personnel" as any qualified individual (or group thereof) that delivers medical advice, assistance and/or examination as a primary part of their job.
PROHIBITS the blocking of any transport that is conveying medical supplies and/or professional medical personnel; however, any transport that is attempting to convey any product besides the aforementioned is not covered under the provisions of this resolution.
MANDATES that member-nations, on the occasion where medical supplies and/or professional medical personnel are transported alongside other items during a blockade, to arrange the collection and transport into national borders of said medical supplies and/or professional medical personnel, at an agreed point close to, but on their originating side of, the nation's borders.
CHARGES the World Health Authority and national health organizations with the following duties:
a. Assuring the safe transportation of medical supplies and professional medical personnel to and in blockaded member-nations; and
b. Dispensing medical supplies and professional medical personnel transported under these terms among the populace of the blockaded member-nation on a per-needs basis, ensuring that said medical supplies are used for non-military, medical purposes, and said professional medical personnel are not assigned to military positions.
MANDATES that governments of blockaded member-nations do not interfere with transportation and dispensation of medical supplies and professional medical personnel within their borders, unless assisting in the transportation and dispensation under the supervision and direction of the World Health Authority and national health authorities.

General Assembly Resolution # 187
Double Jeopardy Prohibition
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
The World Assembly,
APPALLED by the practice of double jeopardy, or trying an individual more than once for the same alleged offense;
CONVINCED that freedom from this unjust practice is a cornerstone of any fair criminal justice system;
SEEKING to put an end to this injustice;
hereby MANDATES the following, subject to any limitations existing in prior international law:
1. Once an individual has been acquitted of a crime, member states shall not try that individual for the same alleged criminal act again.
2. Member states may vacate an individual's conviction of a crime and grant the individual a new trial for that crime. If the individual is again convicted of the crime, the new sentence shall not be more severe than the old sentence, and any conditions of the old sentence that have been met shall count toward the completion of the new sentence.
3. Member states may choose to not pursue a retrial of an individual whose conviction of a crime has been vacated in accordance with clause 2. In such cases, the individual's criminal sentence for the crime must be immediately terminated;
4. Once an individual has been convicted of a crime, member states shall not try that individual for the same alleged criminal act again without vacating the individual's conviction in accordance with clause 2.

General Assembly Resolution # 188
Repeal: “A Model World Assembly”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #165 “A Model World Assembly” (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Educational) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Applauds that this resolution was geared towards the betterment of mankind,
Realizes, however, that no matter the noble intentions, this resolution is neither necessary nor effective,
Recognizes the following flaws in GAR 165:
The General Assembly already dictates that nations must teach their students about international and national affairs, meaning students are already taught about the World Assembly as dictated by GAR #80, A Promotion of Basic Education,
The resolution does not even effect any mild level of change upon national educational systems as it merely "encourages individual schools in nations to implement (these) in their school," although it may cause significant problems when nations' educational philosophies are based around other methods of learning,
The financial costs and logistical considerations involved in introducing and implementing simulated conferences on the local, national, and international level far outweigh the insignificant benefits that could be accorded by the limited merits of this resolution's purpose,
The clause which requires the transporting of children to the WAHQ for the purposes of an international conference would be problematic, should GAR#8 World Assembly Headquarters ever be repealed,
The clause which "requires member nations to educate people" is so vague that it is unclear as to whether "people" refers to the entire population or to only a select group of individuals; this loophole only technically requires member states educate at least 2 of their people on the subject,
Specifies that the lack of clarity within the resolution's text effectively negates its intended purpose, which was "[T]o improve the world..." - and instead, creates a layer of useless, aimless bureaucracy,
Highlights that the WA has suffered from a distinct lack of common sense on many past occasions; as such, simulation of it may not set a good example for students,
Due to these enumerated reasons,
The World Assembly hereby repeals GAR 165, 'A Model World Assembly'

General Assembly Resolution # 189
Repeal: “For the Detained and Convicted”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #62 “For the Detained and Convicted” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
THE WORLD ASSEMBLY:
UNDERSTANDS that all individuals who are accused of a crime should be accorded certain rights and protections under international law;
REALIZES that the current resolution on the subject contains a number of flaws that make it ineffective, at best, and detrimental to WA member nations and their citizens, at worst;
REGRETS that clauses within this resolutions text allow for the abuse of these rights under the guise of upholding them;
NOTES that Clause 1a proclaims that all who are detained are considered the accused until proven guilty; yet the resolution does not make any attempt to ensure that innocence is presumed of all accused until proven otherwise. As such, any accusation, no matter how spurious, may follow individuals throughout the rest of their lives, even if they are never convicted of the crimes in question;
QUESTIONS the details of Clause 1c, as outside and inside threats are referenced but not given any further elaboration. Such a lack of clarity may be exploited by nations wishing to evade compliance with this clause's intent;
HIGHLIGHTS an additional shortcoming of the resolution's text, in that WA member states are not required to protect convicts from outside threats as Clause 2d only ensures protection for the convicted from inside threats, which fails to protect the convicted from the following:
Natural disasters and other potentially hazardous weather conditions, such as extreme temperatures, and
Civil unrest that threatens the lives and well-being of convicts;
BELIEVES that misconduct, as detailed in Clause 2g(i), should also have the potential to result in the temporary loss or reduction of exercise time, which is not permitted under the terms of this flawed resolution;
ENCOURAGES the drafting of further proposals on this subject to ensure the protection of all who are accused, charged, and convicted of crimes within WA member nations;
REPEALS GA#62, For the Detained and Convicted.

General Assembly Resolution # 190
Habeas Corpus Act
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
The World Assembly,
ALARMED by the practice of arbitrary or indefinite detention of individuals;
DISTURBED by the continued detention of individuals after being cleared of wrongdoing or after serving their criminal sentences;
RESOLVED to prevent such practices and to grant relief to individuals being unjustly detained;
hereby MANDATES the following, subject to any limitations existing in prior international law:
1. Member states shall not detain any individual, without suspecting that individual of a criminal offense, for more than two hours in any seven-day period. Member states may extend by a maximum of four additional hours the aforementioned two hour time limit if and only if doing so is necessary to protect the public safety or the safety of the individual being detained;
2. Member states shall not detain any individual, solely on the suspicion that the individual has committed a criminal offense, for more than 36 hours without formally charging the individual with the offense. Periods of time in which the authorities responsible for formally charging the individual with a crime are not available to do so may be added to the aforementioned 36 hour time limit, to a maximum of 96 additional hours;
3. Multiple separate detentions on suspicion of the same alleged criminal act shall cumulatively count towards the time limit in clause 2;
4. Member states shall not detain any individual who has been formally charged with a crime, but who has not been convicted of that crime, for any longer than is necessary to provide that individual with a speedy trial in accordance with international law. If the charge is dismissed prior to the conclusion of the trial, member states shall no longer detain the individual on that charge, unless the charge is lawfully refiled;
5. Member states shall not detain any individual for a particular criminal offense after that individual has been acquitted of that criminal offense unless, in accordance with international law, (1) the individual's acquittal has been lawfully vacated and (2) the detention is for the purpose of a lawful retrial on the same charge;
6. Member states shall not detain any individual for a particular criminal offense in excess of the individual's lawful criminal sentence for that offense;
7. Member states must allow all detained individuals to formally challenge the legality of their detention before an impartial adjudicator; should the adjudicator deem the individual's detention to be in violation of either the member state's domestic law or international law, the member state must immediately cure the illegality, including releasing the individual if necessary;
and CLARIFIES that nothing in this resolution shall be interpreted as prohibiting any of the following:
8. Voluntary protective custody, with the fully informed, uncoerced consent of the individual in custody;
9. Involuntary psychiatric commitment of mentally ill patients;
10. The practice of double jeopardy or the ability of this Assembly to legislate on that topic;
11. The detention of prisoners of war in accordance with international law; and
12. Medical quarantines necessary to prevent a pandemic caused by an infectious pathogen.
