The current WA Resolution, Uniform Labeling Of Hazardous Goods has been posted on our off-site forums at:
http://www.runboard.com/bnationstates.f2.t84031
General Assembly Resolution At Vote
Uniform Labeling Of Hazardous Goods
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.
Category: Free Trade
Strength: Mild
The World Assembly,
Praising the work already done to unify safety standards for commercial transport, as well to establish regulations for the cleanup of hazardous spills and leaks,
Aware that inconsistent requirements for the labeling of hazardous material creates legal, technical, and practical obstacles to free trade,
Concerned that the current lack of regulation allows for inadequate markings, markings which vary by nation or even province, and markings which are not internationally understandable,
Conscious that confusion regarding hazardous goods increases the danger and likelihood of an accident during transportation,
Troubled by accidental spills impact on free trade through the full or partial closure of roadways, ports, and other trade routes,
Noting that when accidents occur involving hazardous materials, first responders' optimal actions depend on the precise nature of the hazardous good, particularly with regards to flammability, reactivity, and toxicity, and that improper actions of first responders can increase damage to trade infrastructure, and puts the lives of those in the vicinity of the accident at risk,
Hereby,
Entrusts the International Transport Safety Committee (ITSC) with creating a labeling system to communicate the important risks and dangers of materials in a manner that is both noticeable and as universally recognizable as possible;
Further entrusts the ITSC to establish vessel specific standards as to the optimal size, number, and placement of warning symbols;
Charges the ITSC with the responsibility of periodically reviewing the labeling system for modernization or other improvements, while balancing the benefits of consistency;
Mandates nations adhere to the ITSC's standards when transporting hazardous materials across international borders, except where compliance interferes with national security;
Empowers the ITSC to levy punitive measures on responsible organizations or government bodies for non-compliance, including mandatory training or fines (the proceeds of which shall go to the WA General Fund);
Urges vessels also adhere to the ITSC labeling guidelines for the transportation of hazardous materials in non-mandated situations;
Requires ITSC disseminated training materials be given to relevant professionals and other interested parties;
Suggests the display of ITSC labels in areas used for the long term storage of hazardous goods.

Failure is an opportunity.
If you blame someone else,
there is no end to the blame.
Therefore the Master
fulfills her own obligations
and corrects her own mistakes.
She does what she needs to do
and demands nothing of others.
I remember this one too. Thus i will not submit an answer.

Thanks
But.. um, is it normal that i'm ranked 129th in this region? Since my nation was founded yesterday..
Rankings are based on certain criteria which changes daily.
Apparently your Income Equality is in the top third of this region.
When the criteria is Population you will find yourself closer to 388th.

If a country is governed wisely,
its inhabitants will be content.
They enjoy the labor of their hands
and don't waste time inventing
labor-saving machines.
Since they dearly love their homes,
they aren't interested in travel.
There may be a few wagons and boats,
but these don't go anywhere.
There may be an arsenal of weapons,
but nobody ever uses them.
People enjoy their food,
take pleasure in being with their families,
spend weekends working in their gardens,
delight in the doings of the neighborhood.
And even though the next country is so close
that people can hear its roosters crowing and its dogs barking,
they are content to die of old age
without ever having gone to see it.

True words aren't eloquent;
eloquent words aren't true.
Wise men don't need to prove their point;
men who need to prove their point aren't wise.
The Master has no possessions.
The more he does for others,
the happier he is.
The more he gives to others,
the wealthier he is.
The Tao nourishes by not forcing.
By not dominating, the Master leads.

The tao that can be told
is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named
is not the eternal Name.
The unnamable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin
of all particular things.
Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.
Yet mystery and manifestations
arise from the same source.
This source is called darkness.
Darkness within darkness.
The gateway to all understanding.

The current WA Resolution, Freedom Of Expression For Organisations has been posted on our off-site forums at:
http://www.runboard.com/bnationstates.f2.t84032
General Assembly Resolution At Vote
Freedom Of Expression For Organisations
A resolution to increase democratic freedoms.
Category: Furtherment of Democracy
Strength: Significant
The World Assembly,
Reaffirming the right of individuals to express themselves freely without fear of reprisal from the state,
Aware that protecting this right counts for little if governments are able to censor political parties, arts organisations, campaigns, civil rights groups, publishers, internet service providers, web hosts and other entities that are not individuals,
Believing that nations should, if they choose, be able to limit the influence of corporations, and of those organisations that seek to promote hatred,
Hereby,
Defines a legal person to be an entity other than an individual that has rights or obligations in law,
Mandates that member states shall extend to legal persons the same rights in regard to free expression as they afford individuals, save that they may impose reasonable restrictions on the free expression of legal persons in order to prevent
disproportionate influence on government by profit-making organisations and those acting under their direction, or on their behalf
incitement of hatred on the basis of race, nationality, immigration status, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity, or gender reassignment
denial of historical acts of genocide
Reserves to member states the right to regulate advertising as they see fit, subject to the provisions of prior and unrepealed resolutions,
Clarifies that, for the purpose of this resolution, a reasonable restriction on free expression is one that does not limit expression in significantly more circumstances than is necessary to achieve its legitimate objective,
Emphasises that this resolution does not prevent the regulation of campaign finance or other donations to political organisations.

When people see some things as beautiful,
other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good,
other things become bad.
Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.
Therefore the Master
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn't possess,
acts but doesn't expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.
