General Assembly Proposals

The World Assembly,

Noting that certain medical instruments require proper sterilisation in order to prevent the spread of infectious disease,

hereby,

1. Defines "susceptible medical instrument" (SMI) as an apparatus used in a healthcare setting and with a material potential to carry and spread communicable disease to an individual;

2. Tasks the Epidemic and Pandemic Alert and Response Center (EPARC) with creating and keeping up-to-date safe and effective standards of

   1. sterilization and disposal of each type of SMI;

   2. determining the amount of reuse each type of SMI may undergo before disposal is needed;

   3. determining the amount of reuse each type SMI may undergo before sterilization is needed;

3. Requires sterilization, disposal, or both to be done once needed in accordance with EPARC standards whenever SMIs are used in a healthcare setting;

4. Urges medical practitioners to use their best judgment, informed by EPARC protocols, to prevent the spread of disease via SMIs without specific standards established by EPARC;

5. Demands all SMIs which do not presently have up-to-date standards established by EPARC to be reported immediately to the committee so that standards can be established or updated in a timely manner; and

6. Mandates that all individuals working in healthcare with an SMI of any kind be adequately trained to carry out the standards established by EPARC for the kind of SMI which they use and continue to receive training to maintain competency as to the latest standards.

General Assembly Resolution #490 “Military Identification Tag Act” (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Admiring the goal of GAR#490, Military Identification Tag Act, in trying to reunite lost soldiers with their families and to reduce the number of unknown soldiers,

Noting, however, that information such as that required by the resolution can be detrimental if it falls into the hands of an enemy belligerent,

Worried that, due to clause three, member-nations may add compromising information such as religion in an effort to ensure proper burial of fallen soldiers, that will make creative forms of torture or disgraceful burial possible if discovered by hostile or intolerant nations, especially if those nations are not members of the World Assembly,

Dismaying the fact that combatants taken as prisoners-of-war cannot destroy their military identification tags to protect themselves from the creative forms of torture that may arise from these tags without violating international law,

Considering the fact that clause eight lacks proper protocols for when a military identification tag is considered decommissioned,

Disheartened by the fact that clause eight further forbids the families and friends of fallen or otherwise retired soldiers from repurposing former tags to whatever they see fit for closure,

And believing that these issues only go to show that no one-size-fits-all legislation can cover the issue of military identification tags for all nations adequately,

Hereby repeals GAR#490, "Military Identification Tag Act."

The World Assembly,
Recognizing that due to non-representation of minorities in police forces, innocent people are dying.
Realizing that a simple change in police makeup may be an easy way to save lives all over the world.
Acknowledging that the resources spent on containing peaceful protests turned violent by antagonists would be far better spent elsewhere;
A. Defines a police force as a force deployed to prevent illegal actions from happening inside a nation, military or not.
B. Defines a minority group as any ethnicity that makes up less than one third of the population without being the largest ethnic group in a given country.
B. Declares accordingly that this resolution means to increase minority representation in police forces so as to prevent those acts of racism by members of these forces that can be prevented.
C. Clarifies that police forces shall be subject to restrictions as follows:
1. The proportion of minority individuals in police forces shall be equal to or greater than two-thirds of the proportion of minority individuals in the normal population.
2. The proportion of minority individuals in leadership positions in police forces shall be equal to or greater than one-half of the proportion of minority individuals in the normal population.
D. Further clarifies that the means used to bring police forces up to these levels are as follows:
1. National advertisement in any form of media.
2. If that does not fully succeed, the effort put into advertising must increase dramatically.
3. If these methods continue to fail, police forces shall receive raises and their members a pension while nations continue to maintain advertising.
4. If these methods are still unsuccessful, as an absolute last resort, nations must hold a draft of all physically and mentally healthy minority men and women.
E. Declares that all nations who do not exhaust all previous measures before this should be severely punished by the WA.
