General 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 # 561
Protection of Apostates
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Cognizant of its commitment to grant all inhabitants of member nations the right to practice their religion freely and in peace, and in a manner that is in agreement with their conscience, and their religion's teachings; yet
Equally committed to ensuring that the safety and wellbeing of apostates are secured, and similarly protected by the wings of World Assembly law;
The General Assembly hereby:
Defines for the purposes of this resolution:
'apostate' as any natural person who has formally renounced their religion and/or religious beliefs; and
'apostasy' as the act of a natural person freely and consciously, formally renouncing their religion and/or religious beliefs; and
'religious leadership' as any individual, group or entity that has a leadership function within a religion, religious institution, or any other organised belief-system;
Requires that member states treat apostasy as a legal act within their national jurisdictions;
Acknowledges the right of apostates and people considering apostasy not to be subjected to any form of punishment, reprisal, persecution, or humiliation, as a result of their apostasy or their contemplation of this change, whether by religious leaderships or by individual or grouped members of a religion or organised belief-system, beyond those forms of treatment that would also be legal if carried out for reasons other than religiously-motivated ones;
Clarifies that, as far as earlier General Assembly resolutions that are presently in force allow, religious institutions are still allowed to bar apostates from employment in their service in roles for which faith can reasonably be considered relevant, such as priesthood or teaching about religious matters, and from access to their places of worship (except as necessary for the proper performance of legitimate tasks such as by emergency services, official safety inspectorates, or armed forces, and except for any parts of those premises that are being used at the time for significant secular purposes, for example as polling stations or as emergency shelters) or participation in their religious & church-organised social activities;
Decrees that the process of apostasy must not be unduly restricted, or obstructed by onerous bureaucracy, or force individuals to pass through discouraging or humiliating practices in order to enact it;
Mandates that member nations recognise the right of apostates, and individuals contemplating apostasy, to keep the reasoning behind their decision to commit apostasy private;
Clarifies that religious leaderships, or individual members of a religion or organised belief-system, are permitted to attempt to convince those contemplating apostasy, or apostates themselves, to remain faithful through reasonable conversation and debate;
Specifies that a refusal to partake in a conversation or debate as per Clause 7, by either an apostate, or an individual contemplating apostasy, shall not have any consequences to the detriment of that apostate or individual;
Requires that member states enforce the articles of this resolution in a manner that entices compliance, or that inspires deterrence regarding non-compliance with the content of this legislation.

General Assembly Resolution # 562
Repeal: “Ban on Conversion Therapy”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #437 “Ban on Conversion Therapy” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Applauding GA#437 "Ban on Conversion Therapy," which prohibited the most exploitative forms of conversion therapy while it was in force,
Noting that GA#559 "End Conversion Therapy" - which outlaws all forms of conversion therapy - has rendered these prohibitions obsolete, and
Believing that repealing GA#437 is sensible, given that it does nothing that GA#559 does not already do...
The General Assembly hereby repeals GA#437 "Ban on Conversion Therapy."

General Assembly Resolution # 563
Repeal: “International Salvage Laws”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #50 “International Salvage Laws” (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Recognizing that this resolution does not actually mandate anything, only suggest its measures be enacted, while also operating under the impression that it is mandating something,
Noting that this resolution even fails to provide justification for its attempted action, only saying that such justification exists,
Wishing to remove such incredibly weak and inadequate legislation from the pages of international law,
Believing that stronger, more adequate legislation on the topic of international waters is necessary,
Hereby repeals GA#50, "International Salvage Laws."

General Assembly Resolution # 564
World Assembly Border Policy
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
The World Assembly,
Cognizant of the fact that no comprehensive General Assembly law regarding the state of borders between World Assembly member nations exists,
Believing that in the interests of economic prosperity and international cooperation, the creation of zones of free movement is to be encouraged,
However aware that not all member states are able or willing to open their borders to all other member states,
Hereby
Creates the World Assembly Border Committee ("WABC") as a subcommittee of the Global Emigration, Security, Travel And Passport Organisation
Tasks WABC with processing applications from member states to join a free movement zone ("WABC Zone"),
Requires that applicant states, in order to be approved by WABC, meet a list of criteria established by WABC which will include an analysis of their border security regarding non-consenting and non-member states,
Explains that the WABC Zone applies to consenting states only and allows unlimited travel across borders at designated points between consenting states without the need of the traveler to present documentation at each border,
Authorizes WABC to negotiate on behalf of consenting states with member states and non-member states in order to loosen border restrictions without necessarily having the member state or non-member state consent to join the WABC Zone,
Further authorizes WABC to change a consenting state's border laws to create a single unified policy across consenting states that is to be publicized before any member state joins,
Directs WABC to develop procedures for a consenting state to withdraw from the WABC Zone in an efficient, timely manner,
Forbids consenting states from restricting the right of individuals from other consenting states to travel or find employment within any consenting state differently from existing citizens of the state in question, subject to such reasonable restrictions that consenting states may institute in the interest of public health and safety,
Compels all member states, including those which do not join the WABC Zone, to conduct an annual review of their border policies,
Designates that each member state shall appoint at least one liaison to the WABC, and lastly
Encourages all member states to negotiate bilateral agreements with the WABC even if they do not wish to consent to join the WABC Zone

General Assembly Resolution # 565
Volcanic Activity Convention
A resolution to enact uniform standards that protect workers, consumers, and the general public.
The World Assembly,
Mindful that some nations are ill-prepared in the case of volcanic activity and that volcanic activity is mostly unpreventable;
Aware of the consequences that eruptions and volcanic hazards have on the environment and society if such volcanic activity is unprepared for;
Granting that disaster preparedness is already required by a previously passed resolution;
Mortified that the previous resolution says nothing on cooperation between member nations when it comes to handling disasters like multinational volcanic activity;
Attempting to legislate for a plan of action during volcanic activity, to help cooperation between all those affected by volcanic activity;
Hereby:
Defines, for this resolution, volcanic activity as the activity of a volcano;
Mandates that member nations whose populations face the risks of volcanic activity:
Address all predicted, current, and recent past volcanic activity within national borders by:
preparing for volcanic activity while working to minimize the loss of life, property damage potentially caused by volcanic activity, and when reasonable damage to the environment through warning systems, evacuation procedures, food, water, and shelter distribution, and the prevention of premature returns to evacuated areas;
actively preventing further damage by volcanic activity and distributing relevant necessary resources to where they are needed; and
reversing the damage caused by recent volcanic activity within reason;
Work with nations likely to be significantly affected to prepare for any volcanic activity via communication and combined efforts to protect the general public from volcanic activity or the damage it will or has caused, including providing aid to each other in an evacuation;
Inform their populace with regularly updated, widely available, and locally specific information on the dangers of volcanic activity however they see fit;
Take whichever evacuation measures ensure that:
anyone at immediate risk of volcanic activity knows how to evacuate, when to evacuate, and where to evacuate to;
law enforcement and emergency services are ready for evacuation, are trained to direct traffic during an evacuation, and are capable of evacuating those unable to evacuate themselves;
complete evacuation time is minimal through proper use of infrastructure; and
emergency shelters are mobile and flexible enough to house and meet the demands of the evacuated;
Recommends that nations at risk of volcanic activity work with the World Assembly Disaster Bureau and all other relevant WA organizations to improve the safety of the general public from volcanic activity;
