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 # 566
Epidemic Investigation Act
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.
The World Assembly,
Believing that further action is necessary to ensure that appropriate actions are taken proactively to ensure knowledge and containment of epidemic outbreaks,
Recognising that, even with the provisions of GA 53 "Epidemic Response Act", many governments still will downplay epidemics due to fears of harms to trade or general reputational damage,
Concerned that possible government action against healthcare workers harms the ability of international organisations to monitor and be truthfully informed of new epidemics, and
Hoping to cut through cover-ups, dissembling, and obfuscation by nations generally while ensuring that healthcare workers conveying truthful information or opinion are not penalised, hereby enacts as follows:
Inspection requirements. When a report is received by the World Health Authority (WHA) of an outbreak of disease or of the emergence of a novel pathogen under section 2 infra, the WHA may dispatch inspectors to investigate and report publicly on the origins of, response to, and make recommendations on the outbreak.
All member nations must permit the entrance and exit of WHA inspectors (hereinafter Inspectors) and fully cooperate with such requests for access or information which Inspectors may deliver to member nation authorities, subject to the following subsection.
Inspectors request for access to sensitive areas or sensitive information may be rejected by the local jurisdiction. Such rejections shall be reviewed by the Independent Adjudicative Office, which may overrule such rejections if the likely harm of release is less than the likely harm to international public health interests.
No member nation may otherwise bar the access of Inspectors to medical personnel. Nor may any member nation retaliate against the provision of information by medical personnel to Inspectors.
Reporting requirements. Any novel pathogen with suggestive evidence of person-to-person transmission must be reported to the WHA forthwith. Member nations must collect statistics on transmission of pathogens in healthcare settings and report such statistics to the WHA in a timely manner.
Opt-in inspection authority. WHA inspectors may undertake a section 1 investigation and report in a non-member nation with the approval thereof. If after granting approval, that nation fails to comply with section 1 access and retaliation requirements as if it were a member nation, at the instigation of the WA Solicitors Office, the Independent Adjudicative Office may declare appropriate sanctions to be enforced by member nations against the nation or those persons responsible in that nation for such non-compliance.
WA healthcare. WHA inspectors shall take all necessary precautions to prevent their transmission of any disease they are investigating. The General Fund shall pay for healthcare costs, or insurance therefor, of WA employees. Nations opting in under the previous section, which do not regularly remit assessments to the WA General Fund, must consent to levies against their nation for healthcare costs incurred by WA employees operating under the auspices of this resolution.

Security Council Resolution # 361
Declaration on Hippopotamuses
A resolution to express a position on international affairs and obligations.
The World Assembly,
Aware that species of animals can differ considerably from each other in terms of their members' average and maximum sizes,
Also aware that the size of an animal can affect how easy it is for people to cope with that animal's presence,
And believing that some nations' governments might benefit from possessing knowledge about certain species' average and maximum adult sizes in order to develop plans for coping with those species before any members of those species enter those nations' territories;
Hereby,
1. Reminds this organization's member-nations that although there were two unsuccessful attempts at passing Hippopotamus-related legislation in the early days of its historic precursor there is currently a total lack of extant WA legislation about Hippopotamuses (hereinafter referred to as "Hippos");
2. Affirms that no true Hippo is a "pygmy";
3. Notes that Hippos can become aggressive towards people, as well as towards other animals, without any warning;
4. Informs all of this organization's member nations that, with known maximum lengths in excess of 16 ½ feet and maximum weights [in the wild] in excess of 4'400 pounds, Hippos are really very large.

Security Council Resolution # 362
Commend Pencil Sharpeners 2
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Aware of the nation of Pencil Sharpeners 2 (PS2) and its many satellite states for their impressive domestic characteristics, topping the charts on many different World Assembly Census metrics,
Believing PS2 and its satellites to be worthy of praise from the World Assembly, from their laudable regional involvement to their remarkably benevolent policy and legislation,
Jealous of the efficiency of the economy of PS2 and the high standard of living enjoyed by its residents of nearly a million Pencil Shavings,
Observing the economic influence PS2 has over the South Pacific due to PS2's policies of subsidizing industry and advancing the sciences, to the point where PS2 wields a highly-advanced space program and is the 17th-most subsidizing nation in the world,
Lauding PS2s government for expanding their influence beyond their immediate nation, into a vast system of satellite states who have accomplished many goals, ultimately showcasing the high ability of their leaders to create goodwill towards people around the world, accomplishing many incredible feats, such as:
The development of extensive domestic welfare programs (3rd best) in Thalasse, alongside high levels of inclusiveness (5th most) rivaled by only a select few nations, on top of a combination of incredibly well-developed and efficient healthcare system (7th best) and foreign aid programs (10th best), ensuring the health of citizens domestic and abroad by one of the most honest governments (11th most) in the world for some of the most compassionate people (11th most) in the world,
Heliospheres investments in the advancement of industry, ultimately allowing themselves to develop the worlds best public education and most expansive information technology sector, combining to form an educated, well-rounded, and cheese-loving (3rd most) population,
The food-oriented Aqualagoons innovations in the area of food production, including being the worlds largest agricultural producer, as well as the worlds largest trout fisher, feeding not only all residents but also the less-fortunate outside the nation,
The assurance of the safety of Xynlandias people, which has remarkably good defense forces (6th best) and the best law enforcement in the world, allowing the nation to reduce violent crime to nearly nonexistent levels and helping nations worldwide have a goal to strive towards in this regard,
The resources provided by Askatopia, having some of the most prominent resource-gathering industries in the world, including the nearly-unrivaled mining industry (2nd largest) of the nation, as well as the largest timber industry in the world, coupled with the worlds largest basket-weaving industry, highlighting the skill and efficiency of the nation to allow the easier collection of resources, and supplying them internationally,
Acclaiming the many other notable characteristics present in many other nations under PS2's control, ranging from stunning and sparkling weather to pizza so artisanally crafted that it nearly breaks the censuses, ultimately demonstrating the dedication that these nations undergo, to the extent that not all can be personally named in a singular resolution,
Celebrating PS2's tenure as Minister of Regional Affairs and Local Councillor of the South Pacific, where they spurred regional democratic involvement in the government, as well as being a member of the Council on Regional Security, helping to guard their home region against outside threats,
Noting PS2's list of most-accomplished nations where they bring to light 10 nations for their very impressive domestic policies and feats, with a total of 42 world-1sts across the nations and their puppets,
Convinced that PS2's many feats across many areas and guidance to other nations, giving them tips on how to improve their nation, have made a positive change in the world,
Hereby commends Pencil Sharpeners 2.

General Assembly Resolution # 567
Repeal: “On Multilateral Trade Talks”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #221 “On Multilateral Trade Talks” (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Noting that Article 1 of GA#221 requires that the World Assembly organise "multilateral trade negotiations... with the mandate of reducing protectionist measures between all member nations" on a decadal basis, and that its Article 3 tasks members with deploying "at least one qualified delegate to these negotiations,"
Concluding that GA#221 not only fails to require members to actually subscribe to free trade agreements, but in fact allows member state delegates to its negotiations to attempt to reach such agreements about exceedingly minor categories of goods and services with other delegates, so long as they meet Article 4's requirement that they "make a good faith effort... to come to mutually beneficial agreements which are in the best interests of all national populations involved" in doing so,
Firmly refusing to applaud GA#221's goal of "reducing protectionist measures between [member]s," given that GA#26 "World Assembly Economic Union" - the third article of which had similar provisions to that of GA#221 - was repealed by GA#45 exactly because of the damage that the WA-sanctioned reduction of such measures can cause to the economies of the least developed members, and
Believing that individual members are more than capable of negotiating their own free trade agreements - comprehensive or otherwise - without having to be babysat by the WA in the process...
The General Assembly hereby repeals GA#221 "On Multilateral Trade Talks."

General Assembly Resolution # 568
Repeal: “Preparing for Disasters”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #105 “Preparing for Disasters” (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The General Assembly,
Acknowledging and appreciating the good intentions of Resolution 105, Preparing For Disasters, in its aid to international coordination in the leadup to natural and artificial disasters,
Aware that Resolution 105 does a reasonably good job in achieving its goal,
Concerned, however, at several potentially negative implications reaching beyond the scope of the resolution, such as:
Clause two mandating that the World Assembly Disaster Bureau provide all the help that a nation requests in [inspections mandated], regardless of the nations actual need of help, potentially opening the door for malicious states to drain the funds of the World Assembly General Fund by requesting unnecessary assistance that the Bureau is required to provide,
Clause seven requiring the World Assembly Disaster Bureau to share research regarding technologies used to assist in responding to disasters with all nations, regardless of the nations World Assembly member status or any other potential applications of the technology, meaning that any research found by the Bureau that may prove hazardous or otherwise dangerous if in the wrong hands must be shared with all nations, including malicious actors,
Clause eight instructing the World Assembly Disaster Bureau to work with all World Assembly organizations, regardless of relevance or necessity to the overarching goal of the Bureau, which could prove to be burdensome as the network of World Assembly organizations expands,
Believing that, regardless of whatever good Resolution 105 provides, the negative consequences that the language of the resolution allows necessitates repeal,
Hoping that, following the repeal of Resolution 105, a suitable replacement will be promptly passed, ultimately minimizing whatever negative effect will be felt by not having a resolution of this topic on the books,
Hereby repeals Resolution 105, Preparing For Disasters.
