General Assembly Proposal
ID: imperium_anglorum_1711399959
Prosecutorial Discretion Act
A resolution to enact uniform standards that protect workers, consumers, and the general public.
The World Assembly,
Recognising the power that public prosecutors have to enforce (or not enforce) laws for the public as a whole as well as the importance of prioritising severe cases and allocating resources efficiently,
Concerned about abuse of this privilege, hereby enacts as follows.
Non-discrimination and recusal. No public prosecutor may bring or fail to bring charges, prioritise or deprioritise cases, or request changes to criminal sentences on the basis of the accused's race, ethnicity, gender, or other immutable characteristics, except when such characteristics are themselves directly necessary to establish, defeat, or change criminal liability.
Recusal requirements. A public prosecutor must disqualify himself from a case if there exists a material conflict of personal or financial interest, personal bias or prejudice for or against the accused, personal relationship with the accused, or previous involvement in the case.
Recusal enforcement. If there exist specific and articulable facts which would lead an impartial observer to believe it is more than likely that a public prosecutor has failed to disqualify himself under section 1(a) despite being required to do so, there must be an inquiry before one or more impartial magistrates learned in the law to be applied (hereinafter the finder). If the finder is satisfied that one or more of the conditions in section 1(a) applies, the finder shall issue a binding order disqualifying that prosecutor from the instant case.
Private right of action. A private civil right of action for compensatory and punitive damages, all legal immunity to the contrary notwithstanding, shall exist against any public prosecutor who, aware of the section 1(a) guidelines and their applicability to a case, knowingly elects not to disqualify himself in that case.
Anti-retaliation. No prosecutor may take or fail to take any action intended to retaliate against, punish, or deter a defendant from exercising any statutory, constitutional, or World Assembly right. Nor may any prosecutor bring charges in a way that would, to an impartial observer, appear likely to retaliate against, punish, or deter a defendant from exercising any such right.
Plea bargaining. No prosecutor may, in a plea bargain, threaten to bring more severe charges than those already brought at its start. However, subject to section 2, more severe charges may be brought after the plea bargain begins if the prosecutor becomes aware of evidence that would support those more severe charges.
Periodic review. Member nations must conduct cyclic and periodic reviews, of a random sample of prosecutions, before an impartial body learned in the law to assess prosecutors' compliance with this resolution. No prosecutorial case records may be destroyed until such time that a review cycle has elapsed such that the records to be destroyed would not be reviewed under this section. The report, the sample of case records, and the framework for compliance assessment must be transmitted to the Compliance Commission.

Ban on Juvenile Life Sentences without Parole
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
The World Assembly finds as follows:
It is unnecessarily cruel for member nations to sentence children to life imprisonment without parole.
Children have undeveloped brains which are not yet capable of adequately comprehending the long term effects of their actions, they cannot internalise the extremely long-term impacts of crime.
Children are capable of reforming with the right support, a fact which life imprisonment without parole implicitly denies.
It is broadly unjust to imprison people who have genuinely repented for their crimes and are extremely unlikely to commit them again.
The option of parole ought to be open to child offenders which meet such criteria.
The provision in section 4 of GA 299 "Legal Competence" which allows member nations to "set reasonable thresholds of maturity [or] mental capability for people to hold any other rights or responsibilities within their jurisdictions" does not contradict this proposal. It is not a right or responsibility to be subject to life imprisonment without parole; it would be the opposite of a right and, because being so subject would be a thing done to a person rather than something that person must do, not a responsibility.
Now, therefore, be it enacted as follows:
In this resolution, the term "life sentence" refers both to prison sentences issued for the period of a person's life as well as prison sentences issued, in total or otherwise, for a period equal to or exceeding the expected natural life of that person.
No member nation may sentence a person to a life sentence without parole, or possibility thereof, for crimes committed while that person is under the age of majority.
All sentences contravening this resolution, including those given prior to this resolution's enactment that would have been prohibited had this resolution been in force, must be commuted forthwith under procedures not inconsistent with World Assembly law.

Obesity Awareness
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.
The General Assembly,
Recognizing the impact of obesity and the many other potentially life-threatening conditions and ailments that can be caused by obesity, such as diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis, and even death,
Observing that many modern societies are confronted with a scarcity of activities or public resources to effectively engage and promoting the well-being of their citizens on a national level, resulting in a lower lifespan
Believing that, as a result, the implementation of policies and programs aimed at promoting citizen health will be prioritized in order to foster a more stable and prosperous society for each respected member state,
Hereby enacts as follows,
Definition of Obesity:
The state or condition of being overweight or excessive fat deposits that can impair health.
Causes leading to Obesity: poor nutrition, and a lack of physical activity. Overeating, particularly of energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods, significantly contributes to weight gain and obesity.
Acceptation & Modification
This proposal requires member states to take strong and decisive measures in order to decrease the prevalence of fast food and unhealthy eating habits. It is important to note that each member state is unique in terms of language, culture, and governing authorities. Therefore, member states have the flexibility to modify this proposal according to the specific needs and characteristics of their citizens.
Influential figures & Awareness
Member-nations are encouraged to seek through employment or volunteering (Influential figures) within member nations, as a means to encourage and inspire citizens to give priority to their well-being by participating in a range of physical activities, embracing the advantages of fitness and heathy eating.
Collaboration & Research
Moreover, member-states are required to aid in the collaborative effort among nations in order to discover more effective methods to enhance the general well-being of their citizens, by studying and developing and (engineering cures & treatments and collecting data). By cooperating as a collective, nations can exchange valuable information that highlights both the effective and ineffective approaches towards safeguarding the health of their citizens.
Clause Expectation Details
- 1. Member states must establish robust communication channels dedicated to spreading positive and accurate information related to health and well-being. This includes promoting healthy lifestyle choices, debunking myths surrounding healthcare practices, and combating the spread of misinformation when it comes to consumable products that could jeopardize public health efforts and citizen safety.
- 2. All Labels of products/goods must show all ingredients or nutrition facts on a label (label should be readable), which will serve as a warning to citizens within member states.
- 3. The proposal requires that member states establish a permanent department dedicated to monitoring the current, and future trends of obesity. This department would serve as a sub-branch to the health department in member states that do not already have one established, with this sub branch will be responsible for advising the governing body of the respected member-state on crucial health-related proposals.

Formation of the liberation army
A resolution to improve world security by boosting police and military budgets.
ACKNOWLEDGING that there are nations who are warmongers that want to cause pain and suffering for our world's citizens, the World Assembly herby...
Forms the LIBERATION ARMY, a branch of the Security Council, to protect the World Assembly's allies and interests from invasion from enemies by forming 3 major armies, including Central Command, with nations contributing their militaries. Each of the five armies are commanded by professional and experienced commanders from nations with large militaries.
THE FIRST ARMY is the most powerful army, consisting of the largest and most elite militaries, and will be sent to difficult and important missions to protect the World Assembly and it's interests.
THE SECOND ARMY is not as powerful as THE FIRST ARMY, but still very powerful carrying out large missions, and is a backup for the first army.
THE THIRD ARMY is the weakest army of the 3 armies, but has large numbers. This army will be sent on small missions, and supports the other 2 armies.
CENTRAL COMMAND will be controlled by the Security Council, and is were the 3 armies will meet to work together, and discuss plans and tactics.

Repeal: “Statistical Data Practice”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #720 “Statistical Data Practice” (Category: Political Stability; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Title: Repealing the Statistical Data Practice Resolution: A Case for Freedom and Flexibility**
Introduction:
The Statistical Data Practice resolution, while well-intentioned, imposes unnecessary restrictions on statistical practices within the World Assembly (WA). As a member of the WA, I propose that we reconsider this resolution and repeal it. Here are the reasons why:
1. Professional Autonomy:
- The resolution mandates rigorous professional standards for data collection, but it fails to recognize the diversity of statistical practices across different nations and contexts.
- Statistical practitioners should have the autonomy to choose methodologies that best suit their specific needs, rather than adhering to a one-size-fits-all approach.
2. Innovation and Adaptability:
- The world of data science is constantly evolving. Repealing this resolution would allow WA member states to adopt new and innovative statistical techniques as they emerge.
- Rigidity stifles progress. By removing unnecessary constraints, we encourage adaptability and creativity in statistical practice.
3. Transparency without Overregulation:
- While transparency is crucial, the resolution's requirements may inadvertently burden agencies with excessive paperwork and bureaucracy.
- We can achieve transparency without micromanaging every aspect of statistical practice. Trusting practitioners to act ethically and transparently is essential.
4. **Avoiding Redundancy:**
- The resolution overlaps with existing national and international standards for statistical practice.
- Rather than duplicating efforts, we should rely on established guidelines and allow agencies to focus on implementation rather than compliance.
Proposed Repeal:
I propose that we repeal General Assembly Resolution #720, the Statistical Data Practice resolution. Doing so will empower member states to tailor their statistical practices to their unique circumstances, promote innovation, and streamline administrative processes.
Remarks:
Let us recognize the expertise of statistical practitioners and trust them to uphold professional standards without unnecessary constraints. Repealing this resolution will foster a more dynamic and effective approach to data collection and analysis within the WA.
Remember that repealing a resolution does not mean abandoning statistical integrity; it simply allows member states to exercise their judgment while adhering to broader principles. Let's prioritize flexibility, innovation, and transparency in our statistical practices!
