World 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.

Security Council Resolution # 224
Commend Drasnia
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The World Assembly,
Noting that many national leaders are drawn to their positions for the challenge of solving the tough problems in their nation;
Further noting that some nations make an extra effort in advocating for awareness of these problems;
Recognizing Drasnia and the formerly associated commonwealth Dwasnia as particularly skilled in raising awareness of important topics among the NationStates community, having brought no less than 11 issues to international attention on a variety of topics such as:
International relations via Only Leader Could Go To Dàguó;
Invasive species via Florists Blooming Mad;
Determining the proper outcome of extremely close elections via Tie Fighters;
Military upkeep via You Just Sank My Battleship; and
Clarity of writing in government documents via Syntax Destruction, among others;
Acknowledging that, during a time of unprecedented change and increased complexity in the problems nations are facing, Drasnia has taken a lead role in documenting over 100 new dilemmas and how dozens of existing ones have evolved, solely for the good of the international community;
Aware of the work Drasnia has done in helping other nations understand the effects their governing choices have on their people;
Appreciating the mentorship Drasnia has shown to nations desiring to advocate for their own issues;
Conscious that Drasnia's former commonwealth, DWAsnia, was World Assembly Delegate of Capitalist Paradise from October 2013 to May 2014, during a time of unprecedented size and activity in the region, and praising DWAsnia's commitment to open-mindedness and new ideas as demonstrated by restructuring Capitalist Paradise's embassy policy so that all regions, regardless of ideological affiliation, had a chance to apply for embassies;
Feeling that, in sum, all nations can aspire to make the NationStates community a better place to reside in the way Drasnia has;

General Assembly Resolution # 403
Trade of Endangered Organisms
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
The World Assembly,
Applauding its members' continued efforts on the preservation of endangered organisms,
Concerned that illegal collection and smuggling of endangered organisms could undermine preservation efforts,
Noting the loss of endangered species has the potential to cause extreme harm to member nations populations via the destruction or deterioration of ecosystem services, for example: hindering natural water and air filtration, hindering natural erosion control, destroying or causing a decline in the availability of food and other wild raw materials, and hindering the possible development of life saving medicines and industrial materials,
Hereby, subject to any limitations set by earlier resolutions that are still in force, including the fact that trade involving certain groups of organisms may already be covered separately by such legislation:
1. Instructs the World Assembly Endangered Species Committee (WAESC) and WA member nation's governments to cooperate with each other in creating and maintaining up-to-date lists of the populations of species and subspecies that qualify as 'Endangered';
2. Bans the international import and export into or from member nations of all organisms from endangered species or subspecies, and of goods derived wholly or in part from said organisms, unless any of the following exemptions applies:
They are specimens or goods that are being collected or being returned as part of a scientifically run species restoration program;
They are specimens or goods derived from specimens that originate from a non-wild source such as a farm, laboratory, or nursery, and are birthed, grown, or hatched from seeds, spores, eggs or other material, that itself was collected from a non-wild source or as part of a scientifically run species restoration program;
They are commercial, scientific, or other goods that were derived from specimens under the guidance of a species restoration program and collected in a manner which does not further endanger the species;
They are durable goods such as lumber, which can be historically or scientifically proven to have been processed before the species was first noted as being endangered by WAESC;
They are unintentionally distributed reproductive or other microscopic materials such as seeds, pollen, eggs or spores in trace amounts that are in or on other trade goods;
3. Requires member nations to ardently enforce measures designed to stop the illegal collection and international trade of endangered species and products derived from them, within their jurisdictions;
4. Urges member nations to pass legislation preventing transporting and profiting from endangered species and products derived from them, within their own borders.

General Assembly Resolution # 404
Enabling The Disabled In Academia
A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.
Category: Education and Creativity
Area of Effect: Educational
The World Assembly,
Applauding its members' continued efforts on the promotion of human rights and social justice throughout the globe,
Concerned that the non accommodation and subsequent marginalization of disabled students could undermine global human rights efforts,
Concerned students with disabilities continue to encounter physical barriers to educational services, such as a lack of ramps and/or elevators in multi-level school buildings, inaccessible facilities, and/or inaccessible transportation to and from school.
Troubled that accommodations for students with disabilities are often made based on budgetary considerations rather than on an assessment of the actual needs of students with disabilities.
Concerned that students with disabilities continue to face negative attitudes and stereotypes in the education system.
Concerned by the lack of knowledge about and sensitivity to disability issues on the part of some educators, staff and students and how this can make it difficult for students with disabilities to access educational services equally.
DEFINES disabled, for the purposes of this resolution, as having a physical or mental condition that limits movements, senses, or activities,
DEFINES a disabled student, for the purposes of this resolution, as an individual who suffers from the above series of limitations and attends any academic setting where the disbursement of knowledge takes place in a class setting,
Noting the disenfranchisement of disabled students has the potential to cause extreme social and economic harm to member nations populations through the deterioration or degradation of social equity, for example: inhibiting the rights and socioeconomic mobility of citizens, hindering social stability by destroying or causing a decline in the image of a common national bond, and nullifying the possible economic progression by under utilizing the cultural, industrial, and scientific capital these citizens could contribute,
Hereby, subject to any limitations set by earlier resolutions that are still in effect, including the fact that the discrimination involving certain groups of students and other protected populations may already be covered separately by such legislation:
1. Instructs the Educational systems of all WA member nations to incorporate adequate disabled student training into their administrator and teacher training process;
2. Requires WA member nations to create necessary transportation, ramp and/ or elevator accessibility, and instructional requirements for disabled students attending academic settings and seek the proper assistance if necessary in making these accommodations;
3. Requires WA member nations to earnestly enforce measures designed to stop the overt and covert discrimination and non accommodation of disabled students within their domains;
4. Urges member nations to pass legislation promoting greater accountability in the transportation, education, and sustainment of disabled students within their own borders.

General Assembly Resolution # 405
Repeal: “Enabling The Disabled In Academia”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #404 “Enabling The Disabled In Academia” (Category: Education and Creativity; Area of Effect: Educational) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Whereas legislation passed by the World Assembly cannot be amended or changed, only repealed, and that any correction of the problems noted in the target resolution would first require passage of a repeal:
And whereas it is the case that
the members of the World Assembly, and the assembly itself, have limited resources,
this resolution effectively forces members to provide accommodations and various support groups in all places of education, both public and private, imposing huge costs which (for private systems especially) would be difficult or impossible to bear,
it can both be cheaper for nations to provide a higher level of accommodation and support in specialised organisations more suited to persons with specific disabilities via e.g. enrolment in specialised schools,
schools can serve multiple functions, but they cannot serve all functions simultaneously without compromising quality, and
accommodations for one group can trade off with the welfare of another, derived simply from the fact that resources are fungible:
And whereas the resolution's definitions are unsound as
the definition of 'disabled' includes practically all manner of different ailments or manners of imperfect health, their being a condition that 'limits movements, senses, or activities',
that definition fails to consider such things as learning disabilities, which do not limit movement, senses, or physical activity, and therefore does not provide those accommodations which the resolution seeks, and
the definition of 'disabled student', beyond the fact that knowledge is not disbursed as if it were coin, only applies to 'academic settings' which many times are not the only places of education.
And whereas this resolution offers little improvement over those protections already instituted in section 2 of the resolution 'A Promotion of Basic Education' and the resolution 'Charter of Civil Rights', while blocking the passage of mandates for effective accommodation that are currently being drafted:
And whereas the use of the phrase 'the disabled' dehumanises persons living with disabilities, reducing them to be a problem to be normalised or 'solved' whilst subsuming their identities into a single aspect of their personhood:
Now, therefore, be it enacted by the World Assembly, by and with the advice and consent of its members, and by the authority of the same, that the resolution entitled 'Enabling The Disabled in Academia' be repealed.

Security Council Resolution # 225
Condemn Reventus Koth
A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Observing that Reventus Koth, otherwise referred to as Koth, is a highly feared leader of The Black Hawks, one of the most infamous and successful military organizations in the world that has been condemned twice by SC#52 and SC#217,
Dismayed that Koth was the founder of The Brotherhood of Malice, a raider organization notable for its countless invasions and operations including:
the destruction and recolonization of Assassins,
assisting fellow raider organization Lone Wolves United in the invasion and recolonization of Hogwarts,
controlling the delegacy of Osiris and publicly declaring it their protectorate while flying the flag of the Brotherhood of Malice over the region,
Mindful that Koth was a member of The Black Riders, a military previously condemned twice by SC#91 and SC#127, where Koth advanced to the superior officer rank of Colonel,
Abhorred that Koth was awarded the Bronze Star on December 7th, 2012 for meritorious contribution to The Black Riders, and the Silver Star on March 29th, 2014 for their efforts in Operation Typhoon, a cruel and barbarous operation where the Black Riders seized over 60 regions in one night,
Appalled that following the dissolve of the Kemetic Republic of Osiris, Koth, with the help of Cormactopia ii and Brotherhood of Malice co-founder Venico, replaced Astarial's interim regime with the Osiris Fraternal Order (OFO), a process that included exiling a number of defender nations from Osiris,
Shocked that the aforementioned actions in Osiris were influenced by the Brotherhood of Malice, and were instrumental in making Osiris the largest raider aligned region that exists today,
Disgusted that on April 18th of 2016, Koth assisted Cormactopia ii and Tim Stark in a brutal coup detat of the Osiris Fraternal Order that involved banishing the democratically elected delegate. In doing so, Koth created the second iteration of the OFO that continues to serve as the contemporary government,
Acknowledging that Koth enabled Osiris to remain raider aligned and continue their ruthless invasions of innocent regions while serving as Pharaoh of Osiris twice, once under the nation of Detective figs and again under Saq,
Respecting that Koth co-founded the Sekhmet Legion, the operating military of Osiris on September 19, 2013, where they successfully refounded Islamic Republics of Iran,
Further Noting that Koth was appointed to The Council of Hawks, the ruling faction of The Black Hawks, as a Field Marshal on May 8th, 2014 and now serves on the Council as the Technical Wizard where Koth has been conducive to the planning and execution of several offensive operations against innocent, founderless regions,
Disturbed that Koth has greatly contributed to the history of raiding and modern raiding alike, especially by incorporating older raider methods into present-day teaching and operations, and helping the legacy of raiding survive where it continues to serve as a threat to the security and foundation of several regions around the world,
Hereby condemns Reventus Koth
