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.

Security Council Resolution # 266
Commend Xoriet
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The Security Council:
Acknowledging the estimable impact that Xoriet, a power house nation and mentor, has had on the NationStates community over six years;
Recognizing the nations crucial role in shaping the East Pacific, as their former WA Delegate and member, by:
Aiding in developing and promoting activity in the region, through all branches of government; over a lengthy time period;
Enhancing the region's foreign affairs including providing guidance on treaties with TNP, Osiris, and Taijitu and forging unofficial relations across the ideological spectrum;
Building and gaining positive international prestige for the region and setting the region on a course that resounds positively today;
Appreciating the nation's leadership skills in leading the Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army (EPSA) to its golden age and making it one of the preeminent militaries of its time, which included such tasks as:
Capturing Nazi Europa in 2014 in unison with 11 other organizations;
Defending the European Union in 2014 from a joint raid by TBH, TBR, UIAF;
Cooperating with every major feeder and sinker military in 2014;
Hitting 100 detags per week during that time period;
Growing EPSA membership to a high of 20 military members;
Helping organize the 60 nations needed to liberate Anne Frank from the fascist occupiers in December 2014;
And successfully completing 315 individual operations between March 2014 and April 2015;
Observing that the nation has produced a veritable library of material on a variety of scholarly topics including safety, security, writing, politics amongst others that have been well received at international conventions such as the NationStates World Fair (NSWF);
Respecting the efforts made by Xorietian philosophers in writing and publishing well-received guides on how nations may better interact;
Lauding their role in leading the way in establishing guidelines for a safer NS community through the recognition and prevention of abuse as well as how to escape from it;
Believing that puppet nations of Xoriet have always striven to engage in military action with the utmost integrity and that the nation has had an important impact on the military dynamic as a leader: for example, in addition to leadership and intelligence roles, the nation was the most active among nations in the restoration of regions damaged by raids to their former state during the summer of 2014 and reached several such milestones over their military career.
Remarking that the military capability of the nation Anera, a nation under the control of Xoriet, resulted in the revival of Lone Wolves United so it reached a high of 70 ops and 22 members;
Impressed that the nation has estimable intel knowledge and intelligence networks and is responsible for being a power broker in international relations as well as training and mentoring new power brokers;
Honoring the nation's leadership, innovations, and Xoriet's role as an invaluable mentor to prominent nations, including several WA Delegates and founders, and their ability to develop connections and maintain relationships between nations and regions;
Hereby commends Xoriet.

General Assembly Resolution # 451
International Aero-Space Administration
A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.
Recognizing space as the final frontier;
Admiring the spirit of exploration and curiosity that drives us to boldly go where none have gone before;
Believing international cooperation is only way to truly develop space science research, and;
Seeking to remedy the significant shortcomings of preceding attempts,
The World Assembly establishes the International Aero-Space Administration (IASA), and empowers it with the following mandate:
To coordinate and publish public research in the field of space exploration, aerospace science and engineering, and other disciplines related to the pursuit of space science;
To liaise with the WA Scientific Programme and coordinate the release of non-classified research and development within the disciplines of aerospace research and space exploration;
To further liaise with the International Meteorological Organisation (IMO) on coordination and safety issues involved with terrestrial space launches;
To provide on request both technical assistance and advisors for developing and building civilian space programs within member states by sharing technical, organizational, and administrative data with those programs to keep fledgling space programs safe and effective.
To research and disseminate best management practices regarding space exploration and research safety;
To act as an intermediary, upon request, for international cooperation on joint space programs.
Member states must liaise with IASA, the IMO, and parallel national authorities governing airspace in foreign territory so as to coordinate flight plans to avoid conflict, collision, or other unintended risk to other spacecraft. Where reasonably practical, member states will so liaise for all nonmilitary spacecraft launched from their suborbital space which might cross into either international or foreign national airspace or territory;
Member states are strongly encouraged to share their research with both other member states and IASA, for the betterment of all scientific development;
The World Assembly renounces any direct authority over domestic space programs or their operations, and reserves them entirely to their respective national jurisdictions.

Security Council Resolution # 267
Repeal: “Liberate The East Pacific”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Security Council Resolution #247 “Liberate The East Pacific” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
THE SECURITY COUNCIL:
AWARE that SC#247, a light-hearted and admittedly symbolic jibe at The East Pacific's (TEP) then-government penned by a vassal state of United Massachussetts (now TEP's Minister of World Assembly Affairs), focused almost entirely on the actions of then-WA Delegate Queen yuno (Yuno) at the cost of virtually ignoring the manoeuvres of other TEP officials; its arguments shall be fully refuted below;
RECALLING that a new administration led by WA Delegate Fedele (which has, similarly to Yuno, expressed their support for a repeal of SC#247) came into force in TEP in October 2018, which was quick to change TEP's colour scheme from pink to a more traditional green, as well as both lifting the old ban on emigration and removing bans for those nations that had left TEP upon their request;
OBSERVING that, despite Yuno having previously been a Sergeant in The Black Hawks as well as a major influence in moulding The West Pacific's modern military, neither region ever capitalised on Yuno's year-long delegacy to hijack TEP and there was certainly no conspiracy amongst raiders to truly wreak merry hell upon it during this time; indeed, the East Pacific Sovereign Army has remained able to be flexible between invasion and defence;
ADAMANT, therefore, that the first three points that this august body used to liberate TEP - i.e. that it banned emigration, used the colour of pink on its official documents, and was allegedly in thrall to The Black Hawks and The West Pacific - are now of little or no significance in light of a recent East Pacifican changing of the guard; but
BELIEVING that it is standard practice for a feeder Delegate to send out many mass telegrams that might be relevant to other nations' day-to-day cultural experience (such as informing them about new, fun regional events) or to bear many endorsements to keep their region secure; the fact that they do so should not be isolated to paint them as evil tyrants out to defeat their underlings with their verbosity and voting power; and
CONCLUDING that many of the arguments made in SC#247, whilst delightfully humourous, must be seen in both the historical context in which they applied as well as in the modern era, where they are now less visible:
HEREBY REPEALS SC#247 "Liberate The East Pacific."

General Assembly Resolution # 452
Repeal: “On Universal Jurisdiction”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #312 “On Universal Jurisdiction” (Category: International Security; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
This august World Assembly,
Concerned that the target resolution requires nations to prosecute in section 3, but that the target does not also require that nations provide prosecutors with information they may have, meaning that the target sets up a prosecutorial scheme where nations may be prosecuting persons without a full accounting of the facts,
Observing that section 7 of the target resolution [f]orbids the World Assembly from preempting a member states claim to universal jurisdiction under this resolution, including but not limited to through an international criminal court or a substantially similar institution,
Seeing that this section prohibits the Assembly from establishing an international tribunal capable of actually effecting judgement for crimes against humanity and war crimes, that is, an international court that actually does things on meaningful topics,
Believing that a lack of such a court means:
there are few prosecutions of war criminals and perpetrators of genocide, since (i) prosecutorial discretion exists, due to differing interpretations of section 3(c) and (ii) such criminals and perpetrators would not willingly move themselves to jurisdictions which would prosecute them and
victims of war crimes and other crimes against humanity are unlikely to receive justice, as even when prosecutions occur, they will likely be in friendly jurisdictions, meaning that they will be slaps on the wrist,
Expressing its discontent at this state of affairs, where criminality of the worst degree is not punished and where the international rules-based order is unable to deter or bring justice to would-be tyrants from engaging in mass murder or other heinous crimes,
Saddened at the deaths caused by the Assemblys inability to act and the incredible injustices that the Assembly is unable to take action to right, and
Calling for the creation of a compulsory, fair, and effective international tribunal to resolve these issues, hereby:
Repeals GA 312 On Universal Jurisdiction.

Security Council Resolution # 268
Condemn the Pacific
A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.
The World Assembly,
Recalls the history of the prior "Condemn The Pacific" resolution, which was repealed based in large part on The Pacific's apologies for the conduct of its government, the New Pacific Order (NPO), during the New Lazarus Order (NLO) coup of 2015,
Notes recent evidence such apologies were hollow, due to the continued infiltration of the sinker regions Osiris and Lazarus by notable members of the New Pacific Order (Feux through its puppet Adytus, and A mean old man through its puppet Wrektopia),
Recognizes this body's long history of using condemnations and liberations to combat philosophies and movements featuring dictatorial leadership, authoritarianism, aggressive foreign policies, deceitful propaganda, controversial intelligence operations, and valuing individuals based on national or regional origin instead of on their own merits,
Asserts the history of the New Pacific Order of The Pacific is one of aggression, with powerful members linked to coups in The North Pacific, The South Pacific, and Lazarus, and the ongoing forced exile of Topid from St Abbaddon,
Observes the government of The Pacific relies on the heavy hand of authoritarianism to strangle opposition and unacceptable speech within the region, and uses ejections to disenfranchise World Assembly Member Nations concerned with the region's policies and track record,
Aware the NPO has frequently engaged in highly controversial intelligence operations, including the aforementioned infiltration of Osiris and Lazarus,
Appalled by the narrative advanced by the NPO's ideology, "Francoism," which preaches distrusting certain individuals based on their origins and homes, rising far beyond reasonable security and to a level of unacceptable fear mongering used to justify the horrible conduct of the institutions of The Pacific,
Remembers this body has condemned regions for their aiding and harboring of nations associated with or guilty of the destruction of regional forums,
Outraged that Pergamon and Feux were made aware King bradley was responsible for the destruction of regional forums and aided King Bradley by keeping this a secret, allowing King Bradley to continue to secretly reestablish connections with the NationStates world,
Concludes that contrary to past false apologies and propaganda, The Pacific is a region that is aggressive, authoritarian, deceitful, and advances dangerous ideologies that seek to divide NationStates and instill fear in all,
Hopes for the destruction of the New Pacific Order, and its replacement by a government that ceases terrorizing its own members, and various targeted groups across NationStates,
Hereby Condemns The Pacific.
