Security Council 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 # 231
Repeal: “Commend Texas”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Security Council Resolution #44 “Commend Texas” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The Security Council,
CONSIDERING that merely having existed for a long period of time is not particularly unique among regions, and that many other regions have existed for as long or longer without commendation;
REASONING that many other regions are home to multiple nations which have authored resolutions;
FURTHER REASONING that many of these nations referred to in SC#44 are not native to Texas, but rather puppet regimes of nations residing in distant lands;
CONCERNED that the diplomacy practiced by Texas is not always mature, and that the region's leadership is quick to meet nations unlike them with hostility and unproductive rhetoric;
POINTING OUT that Texas' defender army has been minimally functional for many years, and that many other regions have hosted far more effective forces for peace;
RECOGNIZING that, though elections are held, only one nation has served as the President of Texas in recorded history;
OBSERVING that many of the accomplishments listed in SC #44 are more appropriately individually commended in SC #131 as the work of NewTexas, including the creation and maintenance of NSSuite, over a decade of WA vote participation, over a decade of service as President of Texas, and a history of commitment and communicating in the region;
CONTEMPLATING that the region, though perhaps above average, is not particularly remarkable, and that many points raised in the original resolution are misleading or the work of an individual nation which has been separately commended for its deeds;
HEREBY repeals Security Council Resolution #44.

Security Council Resolution # 232
Repeal: “Condemn The Black Riders”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Security Council Resolution #127 “Condemn The Black Riders” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The Security Council,
Acknowledging the former region of The Black Riders as one of the most feared raider organizations in the world in their day,
Recognizing that the region popularized the practice of tag raiding, committing thousands of these raids, and were condemned not once but twice by the Security Council, though the first of these has now been repealed,
Appalled, however, at the repeated underhanded actions taken by regional leadership in order to succeed at raiding,
Recalling the events of April 2015, in which two high-ranking officers of The Black Riders, General Halcones and Bob Moran, were obliterated instantly as sanction for recruitment methods that violated international law,
Noting The Black Riders' deliberate and frequent use of the Predator program, a dangerous raiding weapon found to violate international law,
Also remembering the events that happened just under a year later, when the Predator scandal resulted in both The Black Riders and DEN being carpet-bombed into permanent uninhability as a result,
Fully aware that raiders see condemnation resolutions as awards by the Security Council,
Completely disbelieving that a region such as The Black Riders that committed so many underhanded acts in order to succeed at raiding should have any sort of recognition by the Security Council,
Hereby repeals Security Council Resolution #127.

Security Council Resolution # 233
Commend Zwangzug
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The World Assembly,
Admiring the numerous positive impacts the nation of Zwangzug has had on several aspects of the NationStates community, including international athletics, liberating occupied regions, and advocacy of issues that confront world leaders;
Appreciating Zwangzug's efforts to further international athletics via hosting a multitude of sporting events, including the World Baseball Classic 3, the '12 FairPlay Trophy, the '12 and '13 NationStates World Fair Sports Tournament, the '13 TriWrathlon, and the World Cup of Hockey 16;
Noting Zwangzug's invaluable planning and logistics provided to both the World Baseball Classic and NationStates World Fair;
Further appreciating en passant assistance given by Zwangzug to other nation's sports tournament hosting efforts, via proliferating information of basic practices for scorekeeping;
Recognizing the incredible prowess of the athletes of Zwangzug in baseball, as well as Zwangzug's pawns Aguazul and Earent in soccer, and Plutoni in hockey, accounting for multiple world championships in multiple sports, most impressively Aguazul's four World Cup wins, including an as of yet unmatched three in a row;
Feeling that exceeding the talent in athletics in the above nations is the talent in sports journalism, which is famous among the NationStates Community not only for reporting of the athletics on the field, but also using the lens of athletics to illustrate national culture, provide humor, interweave international affairs, and even incorporate mathematical theory;
Admiring that despite the checkered experience of Aguazul in World Cup 54, including the mid-tournament murder by dinosaurs of emblematic General, Carlos Lopez, the nation was still able to co-host World Cup 55;
Praising Zwangzug's commitment to civil rights and equality as demonstrated by assisting in the organization of a men's rights group in Cassadaigua;
Astounded that Zwangzug is also accomplished at protecting regions from occupation and liberating occupied regions, demonstrated by achieving the rank of Lieutenant in the United Defenders League, being awarded Liberator of the Month in March 2012, participating in such notable liberations as ITALIA, Norway, Liberal Haven, Hong Kong, Christmas, Roman Empire, and Italy, as well as acting as a protective castle to countless other regions via their early spotting of potential invading forces;
Awestruck that, in addition, Zwangzug is a talented issue advocate, demonstrated by bringing the following issues to world leaders' attention:
Hate speech via Sticks And Stones;
Olympic boycotts via The Road To Blackacre Ends Here?; and
National censuses via Your Nation Taking Leave Of Its Census;
Believing strongly that a nation that has made such positive contributions in so many different areas of the multiverse deserves international recognition;
Hereby commends Zwangzug.

Security Council Resolution # 234
Commend Europeia
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Lauding Europeia's role at the forefront of the Independent ideology, notably including both being host to the pioneering Independent Convention and codifying the principles and values of Independentism in a landmark interregional document known as The Independent Manifesto;
Recognizing the region's history of military leadership, particularly via several Status of Forces Agreements wherein Europeia assisted allies including The United Kingdom, Merridel, and The Communist Bloc with the development of their own armies;
Specifically Recognizing Europeia's commitment to anti-fascist military efforts, particularly the forceful presence of the Europeian Republican Navy on numerous operations in regions such as Nazi Europe, Greater German Reich, and Anne Frank, as well as Europeia's creation of the Coalition Against the Ideology of Nazism to unite regions across the world in the combat of fascism;
Applauding the region for its impressive efforts to recruit nations to become a part of its territory, often using state-of-the-art technology that Europeia has developed, tested, and shared with other regions;
Complementing the exemplary levels of participation in recruitment efforts from many individual nations in the region, whose efforts are largely responsible for the region perennially being among the largest regions for over a decade, as well as the Europeia's formal recognition of such;
Noting that Europeia was host to the UCR-UCR Conference, which produced a widely-recognized standard for regional recruitment activities known as the Arnhelm Declaration of Recruitment Standards;
Admiring Europeia's extraordinary executive, legislative and judicial systems, in which more than 90 nations often participate, and which have produced a long history of democracy, a large body of legislation, and many a fair trial;
Further Admiring that Europeia has striven to share its expertise in these areas with other regions, notably having assisted The Allied Republic with the development of a regional legal system, in addition to supporting Balder through the development of its entire regional government;
Impressed by Europeia's record of profound cultural presence, including:
Hosting the "Women in NS Symposium" to recognize female world leaders,
Organizing a celebration of culture among many regions, known as the "Winter Ball,"
Maintaining a vibrant regionally and privately owned media,
Protecting the right of the fourth estate to be critical of the region,
Supporting a world-renowned audio broadcasting organization, and
Assisting other regions with the development of their own fourth estate with accords such as its Media Development and Distribution Agreement with The Britannian Kingdom;
Acknowledging that Europeia has long been a leader in the World Assembly, consistently supporting the creation of World Assembly legislation both intra-regionally in its World Assembly Drafting Headquarters and inter-regionally as a member of the World Assembly Legislative League;
Praising Europeia's extensive efforts to collect, preserve, and catalog often irreplaceable regional and world history in one of the largest libraries in the world;
Believing that Europeia overall serves both as an exemplary role model for the world and as a force for positive change throughout it;
Hereby Commends Europeia.

Security Council Resolution # 235
Commend Candlewhisper Archive
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
This venerable World Assembly,
Noting that every nation of the world faces an overwhelming variety of different political issues on a daily basis,
Believing that Candlewhisper Archive has shown exemplary dedication to presenting these issues to governments in an eloquent and accessible way,
Impressed by the clarity with which Candlewhisper Archive has conveyed the following selection of issues regarding a diverse range of important and multifaceted political circumstances to thousands of nations across the world:
The decay of cultural awareness (known as 'The Show Must Go On')
The recognition of depression and other mental illnesses (known as 'Rock 'n' Roll Suicide')
The healthcare applications of a DNA database (known as 'The Genetics Of Aesthetics'),
Bamboozled and befuddled by the incredibly short time period in which all of this has been achieved, and fully expecting Candlewhisper Archive to continue its good work long into the future,
Observing that the nominee has been a consistent source of wit and wisdom within a multitude of international discussions regarding a wide variety of topics in the past,
Certain that the world would be a particularly less engaging place to live were it not for the aforementioned contributions of the nominee,
Hereby commends Candlewhisper Archive.
