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.

General Assembly Resolution # 421
Ozone Layer Protection
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
The World Assembly,
Aware that high levels of Ultraviolet Light, particularly in certain wavelengths, can be very harmful to many types of life-forms including [for example] both humans and bears,
Understanding that the presence of Ozone [i.e. tri-atomic Oxygen molecules] at a suitable level in a planets upper atmosphere can give life below significant protection against such harmful ultraviolet rays within incoming sunlight,
Recognising that certain chemicals which are sometimes used in industry, particularly various members of the Halogenated Hydrocarbons group, are likely to deplete that layer of Ozone and thus reduce its protective effects if they escape into the atmosphere,
Wishing to prevent such damage to the protective Ozone, acknowledging this as a potential problem of international scope, and hoping that concerted action on the matter by this organisations members not only will be useful in itself but also will encourage non-member nations to take similar action as well;
Hereby,
1). Requires all member nations to evaluate the potential Ozone-depleting properties of each and every chemical that their industries produce and/or use;
2). Strongly urges all member nations to reduce their production and use of all chemicals that are known to have serious Ozone-depleting properties, as far as possible, even in advance of any international regulations targeting the specific substances concerned;
3). Establishes within WASP an agency called the Atmospheric Chemistry Establishment (or ACE), requires that member nations share their information on Ozone depletion with ACE, and instructs ACE to _
A/ Collect data, and if necessary perform research, on the Ozone-depleting properties of all chemicals produced and used by industry;
B/ Discover what safer alternatives exist for any industrial chemicals that do have Ozone-depleting properties;
C/ Working with the International Meteorological Organisation (IMO), collect any necessary data on Ozone distribution and concentrations that national governments do not supply to ACE and the IMO anyway;
D/ Determine the relative levels of hazard that the different Ozone-depleting chemicals pose to atmospheric Ozone levels, bearing in mind both extent of usage and their own stability as well as their Ozone-depleting power per molecule;
E/ Share all of the above data with any governments, government agencies, or multinational businesses, that request it;
F/ Set deadlines (with scales of no less than four, and no more than twelve, years) by which all member nations are to phase out the production and use of specific Ozone-depleting chemicals by at least the ACE-specified levels, starting basically with the chemicals that pose the greatest hazards to atmospheric Ozone levels but also bearing in mind the importance of their uses and the availability of safer substitutes;
4). Requires all member nations to meet all deadlines that ACE sets for phasing out the production or use of any Ozone-depleting chemicals, unless they can prove to ACE that their handling of those chemicals occurs only within closed systems from which escapes cannot threaten any other nations atmosphere in which case ACE will grant them a waiver for as long as those conditions continue;
5). Urges member nations to do what they can, without increasing the risk of international conflict, to persuade non-member nations to cooperate with ACE as well.

Security Council Resolution # 241
Liberate Iran
A resolution to strike down Delegate-imposed barriers to free entry in a region.
The Security Council,
Noting Iran has a treasured history that is important to the international community,
Regretting that the natives were misled by an invasion which ultimately resulted in the region's destruction behind a password,
Observing the similarities between the invasion of Greece, which resulted in Security Council Resolution #29, and the invasion of Iran:
August 5/7, 2013: Gharechi (also known as Avalonian persia) and Persepolis the great appeared in Iran. Persepolis the Great had been founded that very same day. Gharechi released a dispatch that day explaining their "intentions" for moving to Iran. This group antagonized the regional community while making false accusations against the native delegate.
December 8 2014: Baharestan took the delegacy with the support of Gharechi and Persepolis the Great and promptly ejected and banned natives. Natives were encouraged by Baharestan, Gharechi et al. to leave Iran for a backwater region named Shahish Empire that was controlled by Persian Empire (which directed the occupation of Greece). The reason given for this policy - to conserve regional influence - was plainly false. Presumably, the real intent of the policy was to mislead natives from the region to accelerate its abandonment and annihilation.
May - August 2014: Persepolis the Great replaces Avalonian Persia as delegate, who replaced Baharestan.
August 15, 2014: Persepolis the Great alters the password of the region.
September 8, 2014: Twenty four days later, Persepolis the Great resigns from the World Assembly.
Recognizing that a native at the time, Iramerica, attempted to save the region with a liberation proposal on May 12 2014, though the nation was temporarily removed from the World Assembly for plagiarizing Security Council Resolution #29, Liberate Greece, putting the community at a further disadvantage,
Believing that this honored council has failed the community of Iran and ought to do everything in its power to promote security, growth and stability in the region to correct this wrong,
Encouraging interested parties to ensure the security of the region upon the passing of this resolution so that a community can develop,
Hereby Liberates Iran.

Security Council Resolution # 242
Commend Texas
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Noting that Texas was formed barely one month after NationStates was created in late 2002, making it one of the oldest extant regions and among the first 100 regions.
Applauding that despite its age Texas has been able to maintain an active community through the use of its forum and weekly chats.
Acknowledging that shortly after its founding Texas formed an alliance, known as the Triumvirate, with two other communities, The Heartland and Wysteria, that still exists to this day, making it the longest lasting alliance in the world.
Thanking Texas for its dedication to the protection of others through its military, the Texas Defense Force(TDF), which has existed for over 15 years and is one of the oldest militaries in the world.
Praising Texass military for completing over 250 successful missions that freed native communities from enemy forces including:
· The defense of 10000 Islands in November 2003 against Empire of Power forces. This allowed 10000 Islands to live on and eventually form TITO, the Ten Thousand Islands Treaty Organization, which was also recognized by SC#30 for its substantial contributions to NationStates.
· The liberations of Hell, Philippines, India, and Italia from invader forces numbering no less than 40 enemies each between 2003 and 2007.
· The five deployments to Lazarus, including the stabilization of the region after it was taken by Lone Wolves United in October 2005; The liberation against the Azaean Combine in 2007; The liberation against twelve raider organizations in August 2008; The liberation of Lazarus from the forces of The New Inquisition in November 2008; The counter-coup in 2015 against the New Lazarene Order, an occupation led by the New Pacific Order which was condemned in SC#174, SC#175, SC#176, SC#177, and its government has since apologized for.
· The deployment of their forces four times to the aid of The Rejected Realms(TRR), including the single day occupations of Red Kagran, delegate of Taijitu (2007); Emperor Matthuis, delegate of The North Pacific (2007); Aegara, delegate of Grand Central (2010); and their deployment to TRR after The Black Hawks conquered Illuminati in March 2017.
· The deployment of their forces to Osiris after the creation of the sinker region in October 2011, allowing the community to choose their own government without the threat of outside pressure and possibly its destruction before it could decide its fate.
· The assistance of the TDF in the liberation of Philippines on December 23, 2017 in a joint operation of thirteen organizations to beat The Black Hawks, which put natives back in control of the region before Christmas.
Believing that the community of Texas should also be recognized for the contributions it has made to the world as a whole, with eight passed General Assembly resolutions as well as three passed historical resolutions in the World Assembly's predecessor.
Admiring the Delegation of Texas for voting in 1277 consecutive votes in the World Assembly and its predecessor the UN , a record unrivaled by any other region.
Convinced that the community of Texas should be recognized for its outstanding contributions to NationStates as a whole,
Hereby Commends Texas.

Security Council Resolution # 243
Condemn Wrapper
A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.
The World Assembly,
Acknowledging that the nation of Wrapper has convinced many that they are attempting to improve the NationStates community;
However, while uncertain if it is due to malevolence or sheer incompetence, firmly convinced that each and every decision the leadership of Wrapper has made has had terrible consequences;
Forlorn that in repealing GA #351 Nuclear Material Safeguards the WA delegation of Wrapper allowed tinpot dictators and outlaw states easy access to nuclear materials while claiming to be hung up on the minutia of the word choice of the "wrong hands";
Questioning whether this was accidental considering Wrapper's WA staff have participated in illegal arms trading, which directly resulted in the arrest of the esteemed Ambassador Bell (representative of the commended nation of Separatist Peoples) and the firebombing of WA offices;
Distraught that through the WA delegation of their protectorate, Imperial polk county, Wrapper passed "Ban On Ritual Sacrifice", which, while claiming to protect the vulnerable, actually trampled upon the religious rights of numerous nations to enforce so-called 'civilized standards';
Noting Imperial Polk County's WA Ambassador once raised money supposedly for 'hurricane relief' only to squander it at The Strangers' Bar;
Absolutely positively convinced that Wrapper's WA Ambassadors' attempts to build esprit de corps among other World Assembly representatives through karaoke night actually caused more than one nation to leave this august body;
Denouncing Wrapper for proclaiming to act in the best interest of the region of Stargate during their nearly two-year leadership, while actually allowing the region to be raided once and another time 'accidentally' abandoning post, and ultimately putting severe barriers from further immigration, placing the future of the region at risk;
Distressed that during Wrapper's brief leadership of the region of Monty Pythons Flying Circus via protectorate The Dead Parrot, innocent nations trying to enter the region and contribute were ejected, creating a rift in the region that persists to this day;
Annoyed that Wrapper, via protectorate Groot, repeatedly broadcasts the same subversive and redundant message across One Big Island of I am Groot, which is no doubt intended to undermine or provoke regional leadership;
Convinced that the above evidence shows conclusively that the nation of Wrapper has brought nothing but pain and suffering to all those they have tried to 'help';
Hereby condemns Wrapper.

General Assembly Resolution # 422
Promoting Sustainable Timber
A resolution to develop industry around the world.
The General Assembly
Celebrating past achievements in promoting sustainable and responsible timber production;
Aware that the majority of nations, being outside the World Assembly, are not bound by its rules;
Concerned that purchasers in member nations are therefore buying cheaper timber and timber products from countries outside the World Assembly, to the detriment of their local forestry industry;
Aware that the environmental consequences of poor forestry management are not contained by national borders;
Resolute in its desire to protect jobs and increase prosperity within member nations;
Wishing, by means of trade, to encourage all nations to adopt higher environmental standards in timber production;
Hereby
Prohibits member nations from importing from any source timber, or products made from timber, produced in a way not compliant with World Assembly legislation currently in force;
Tasks the World Assembly Forest Commission (WAFC) with assisting member nations to comply with this prohibition by
- (a) inspecting timber production in any nation, when invited by the producers and with whatever governmental approval may be necessary, and certifying it as a WAFC approved source if it satisfies all the requirements of World Assembly environmental legislation in force at that time.
- (b) inspecting the manufacture of products using timber in any nation, when invited by the manufacturers and with whatever governmental approval may be necessary, and certifying them as WAFC approved products if the timber used is from WAFC approved sources.
