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 # 415
Repeal: “Freedom to Seek Medical Care”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #414 “Freedom to Seek Medical Care” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Crediting GAR#414 with intending to provide access to medical care to millions by allowing what is known as "medical tourism", where individuals seek medical care abroad;
Believing this goal to be, on the whole, an admirable one;
Dismayed that the resolution, which allows member states to pass the cost of treatment onto medical tourists under Clause 5, fails to account for GAR#97, Quality in Health Services, which requires member states provide a certain level of health coverage for those who cannot afford it, free of cost;
Distressed that the resolution makes no accommodation or provision for nations engaged in conflict with the home nation of the medical tourists, opening the home nation to threats of espionage and sabotage;
Horrified that the resolution, under Clause 1, makes it impossible for member nations to prevent criminals, minors, military deserters, or those under current investigation from traveling abroad if they are seeking medical attention, and makes no provisions allowing member states to retrieve such individuals after they have received medical attention;
Appalled that the resolution makes no attempt to reduce risks imposed by epidemics, threatening well-intended nations with the risk of being overwhelmed by infected nonresidents and being unable to appropriately quarantine them;
Shocked at the blatant efforts to hamstring national jurisdiction under Clause 4 by making it illegal for a member state to subject medical tourists to penalties, even where such treatment is clearly illegal under the home nation's laws;
Concerned at the blatant scrivner's error at the end of the first and fifth clause, which demonstrates a lack of attention and care by the author, in blatant disregard for the high standard of quality demanded by this Assembly;
Believing that the members of the World Assembly deserve a resolution which protects their domestic interests instead of prioritizing those of nonresidents;
Hereby repeals GAR#414, Freedom to Seek Medical Care.

Security Council Resolution # 237
Commend The Macabees
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The World Assembly,
RECOGNISES The Macabees as a leading proponent of advanced military technologies since antiquity or time immemorial, which has influenced the outcomes of countless international incidents since 2003 in multiple regions, including Gholgoth, Greater Dienstad, and Haven;
APPRECIATES The Macabees leadership in distinguished international forums, such as its administration of The Ns Draftroom (2005-2007) and its founding of the Nsdraftroom (2007-present), which have assisted countless nations with engineering and technical peer reviews since 2005;
PRAISES the many scholarly works of The Macabees, including its analysis of Electrothermal-Chemical Technology, Improvised Explosive Devices & MRAP, and Problems Encountered with Higher Caliber Tank Guns;
HIGHLIGHTS The Macabees historical position as a trendsetter in military research and development, which has influenced the designs and technologies of more than 400 nations, including those recognised by the World Assembly under:
SCR#24 Condemn Great Nepal;
SCR#39 Commend Bergnovinaia;
SCR#59 Condemn Blackhelm Confederacy;
SCR#61 Condemn The Kraven Corporation;
SCR#77 Condemn Milograd;
SCR#83 Condemn Automagfreek; and
SCR#100 Commend Lamoni;
OBSERVES The Macabees historical track record of combating slavery, such as its military operations against Ralkovia and The Scandinvans in Titanomachy GD/Gholgoth, and thus the International Association of Slave Exporting Nations (IASEN), which was noted as a threat to international order by the World Assembly under SCR#20 Condemn Greater Tezdrian in 2010 and SCR#104 Condemn Ralkovia in 2012;
ADMIRES the sportspersonship shown by The Macabees in its creation of the Díenstad Cup I and Kings Cup I, and its participation in the 47th and 48th NationStates World Cups and the 10th and 11th Di Bradini Cups, which were created by Starblaydia, as recognised by the World Assembly under SCR#40 Commend Starblaydia;
NOTES that The Macabees leads the NationStates Post-Modern Tech Community organisation, which was established in 2016 to explore the acceptable boundaries of speculative technology and to provide counsel and guidance for newly emerging nations of the international community;
ACKNOWLEDGES that The Macabees designed the Arca. IV Nakíl, the most exported tank in the history of arms trade and probably the most produced since 2005, and was thus the inspiration behind the technologies used by many military storefronts to defend the sovereignty of countless innocent nations, without many realising this fact due to it being lost in the annals of history;
LAUDS The Macabees willingness to assist newly emerging nations, such as its decision to support Havensky in 2009, United world order in 2012, and Patrick oconner in 2017;
EXTOLS The Macabees for its contribution in the NationStates World Fair III, where it lectured on the importance of realism in conducting international trade;
AVERS the above stated as evidence of the positive contributions The Macabees has made to the international community since 2003;
HEREBY commends The Macabees.

General Assembly Resolution # 416
Ban on Ritual Sacrifice
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
The World Assembly:
Understanding that the universe is composed of beings of diverse cultures, backgrounds and religions;
Having considered that the importance of certain cultural and religious practices are integral to the beliefs of such followers;
However dismayed that there are those who, in the name of said culture or religion, continue to perform traditional rituals that cause irreparable harm or death;
Determining that such actions are violations of the basic human right to live;
Defining "ritual sacrifice" as the intentional and ritualistic act of killing one or more other beings (a) as an offering to a god or spirit, (b) as an effort to control sapient population growth, or (c) as a method by which a ruling class or regime creates or perpetuates social hierarchy;
Clarifying that such "ritual sacrifice" does not include capital punishment, assisted suicide or euthanasia of a terminally ill patient or other medical procedures, or any acts of war including insurgency and counterinsurgency;
Hereby:
1. Bans the ritual sacrifice of sapient beings in all member nations;
2. Requires member nations criminalize such acts of ritual sacrifice and prosecute perpetrators accordingly;
3. Urges member nations to ban the ritual sacrifice of animals and other sentient beings.

General Assembly Resolution # 417
Restrictions on Hydraulic Fracturing
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
The General Assembly:
Aware of its commitment to ensuring the safety and sustainability of all means of energy production, to protect the populations affected by them,
Declaring that hydraulic fracturing unfortunately fits neither of these constraints, instead imperiling the health and well-being of many populations, while consuming an unconscionable amount of water,
Noting that hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as "fracking", may lead to the contamination of groundwater, thereby toxifying soil, marshlands, riverine and coastal fisheries, and drinking water sources, introducing sickness in sapient beings, livestock, and wild animals,
Aware that, since hydraulic fracturing requires such large amounts of water, local communities, particularly those in drought-plagued regions, are often left with an insufficient supply of clean water,
Further noting the strong correlation between fracking and increased seismic activity,
Frightened that fracking releases a significant amount of methane, a greenhouse gas far stronger than carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere,
Trusting the ability of the energy sector to extract energy in a way that avoids the environmental hazards of fracking,
Defines, for the purposes of this resolution, "hydraulic fracturing" as a method of fossil-fuel extraction in which pressurized liquids are inserted into the crevices of underground rocks at high pressures, in order to release the natural gas or oil contained therein,
Prohibits the practice of hydraulic fracturing in all areas of World Assembly member-states which are in or within close range of land inhabited by populations of sapient beings, to the extent that the practice:
poses a demonstrably significant threat of contamination thereto,
harms the water resources demonstrably neccessary to ensure the health of local communities,
and/or poses significant risk of other strongly detrimental health effects, according to the World Health Authority, to said populations of sapient beings,
Clarifies that the policy laid out in Section 2 still applies when the region of effect crosses national boundaries.

General Assembly Resolution # 418
Safeguarding Nuclear Materials
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.
The World Assembly,
Understanding that there are more than six times more non-WA nations than member nations,
Noting that those nations do not have limits on their nuclear arsenals, use conditions, or any restrictions on nuclear arms whatsoever, thereby putting member nations at a considerable military disadvantage against their nearly-unlimited power,
Observing that radical elements of the Assembly could ban the manufacture of nuclear weapons after the repeal of 391 GA 'Securing Nuclear Materials from Dastardly Menaces' and 351 GA 'Nuclear Material Safeguards', meaning that a single legislative mistake could destroy us, and
Giving credence to the necessity of clause 5, as non-inclusion would lead to nuclear materials being unprotected in state collapse, creating a proliferation crisis, in which the purveyors of loose nukes must not become nuclear powers, hereby:
Affirms the right of member nations to possess nuclear weapons and to use them in the case that they are attacked by hostile forces;
Maintains the right of member nations to manufacture and trade nuclear weapons or reactors, to possess the materials required in such manufacture, and to acquire the materials required in such manufacture;
Maintains the right of member nations to have knowledge of the manufacture and trade of nuclear weapons or reactors, to possess such knowledge, and to acquire such knowledge;
Mandates that member nations take all practical actions to stop unauthorised release of the materials or disclosure of the knowledge spoken of in the above two clauses; and
Directs, should no future legislation require otherwise, the Nuclear Energy Safety Commission to ensure that nuclear armaments, materials, and knowledge are secured from weaponisation by providing material assistance and phase-out assistance to nations unable to defend their own nuclear knowledge and technology.
