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 # 525
Repeal: “Landfill Regulation Act”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #520 “Landfill Regulation Act” (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses - Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Observing the excessive micromanagement in General Assembly Resolution #520, Landfill Regulation Act, which includes mandating that member nations create agencies to ensure compliance, unnecessary handholding and bureaucracy that is better left to be decided by member nations themselves;
Further observing that this overreach ignores member nations who use private companies to survey environments, which results in member nations being forced to create agencies they will not use, meaning that the bureaucracy is even more pointless;
Concerned that the poor definition of SWL includes locations such as scrap metal yards, which pose little to no significant harm to public health or the surrounding environment, resulting in harsh mandates being placed on these landfills that could cost exorbitant amounts of money;
Dismayed that systems for the collection and removal of leachate are mandated regardless of the potential danger the leachate causes to public health or to the environment, yet another excessively broad mandate;
Further concerned that implementing such unnecessary regulations negatively affect the operations of solid waste landfills with very little potential positive benefit;
Realising that placing these mandates on SWLs without any form of subsidy or funding could lead to costs being passed on to the consumers, therefore giving them incentives to dispose of solid waste at unregulated areas instead and defeat the resolutions purpose of protecting the environment from solid waste;
Convinced that a poorly executed and overreaching resolution ought to be repealed, hereby:
Repeals General Assembly Resolution 520, Landfill Regulation Act.

Security Council Resolution # 332
Commend Kenmoria
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Believing that nations that make significant contributions to the international community should be formally recognised, and that Kenmoria is one such nation,
Applauding Kenmorias novel approach to economic freedom, which includes allowing corporations to own and operate judicial systems and entire towns, and such a deregulated model has resulted in the privately-owned Kenmorian airports and airways being reputed for their efficient security and affordable accommodations,
Impressed by the Kenmorian government, a parliamentary democracy elected every five years, which has enacted policies beneficial for the Kenmorian populace such as a nationwide subsidised internet connection and a world-class road infrastructure,
Recognising Kenmoria for their involvement in the crisis in Posteastan via the corporation Construction Enterprises, in which they provided humanitarian aid and helped to reconstruct civilisation after a complete obliteration of social order,
Further recognising that Kenmoria, despite not being an official member of the World Assembly, is in compliance with every resolution passed, a shining example of which many other non-WA member nations should follow,
Fully appreciating the Kenmoria wa mission, led by the Ambassador James Lewitt, for their omnipresence in World Assembly discussion channels and forums, in which they:
provide consistent and constructive criticism on draft proposals, as well as suggest crucial additions to content, ensuring that resolutions passed may be of the highest quality,
create a more positive and conducive environment for newer and less experienced authors, and guide them in the tough process of passing their own proposals,
state extremely insightful opinions and commentaries on World Assembly related discussion (excepting one occasion that deservedly resulted in the defenestration of Ambassador Lewitt), which are understandably revered by the international community,
Extolling the Kenmoria WA Mission for their co-authorship of several resolutions, which further indicates their devotion to assisting fellow delegations in improving international law, ensuring the passage of resolutions such as:
General Assembly Resolution 481 "Data Protection Accord", a resolution which guaranteed privacy for people in member nations by prohibiting most cases of non-consensual data collection,
General Assembly Resolution 494 "Regulating Desalination", a resolution which enforced environmental regulations regarding the construction and operations of desalination plants,
General Assembly Resolution 511 "Ensuring Effectual Recycling", a resolution which required systems for the recycling of items to be in place, allowing for reuse of waste and preventing it from damaging ecosystems,
Praising the Kenmoria WA Mission for their contributions to international law as submitting author, which include:
General Assembly Resolution 469 "Reducing Food Waste", a resolution which prevented the unnecessary wastage of edible food, protecting the environment and providing nourishment for the poor,
General Assembly Resolution 475 "Promoting Natural Sciences in Schools", a resolution which ensured that all students in member nations received a science education based on empirical evidence and logical reasoning,
Observing that while in Europe, Kenmoria served as an Undersecretary of the European WA Office, and in that position they participated in the authorship of multiple informational dispatches for residents of Europe, allowing them to make well-informed votes on World Assembly proposals,
Acclaiming Kenmorias authorship of the document 'Power to the (AI) People', which highlighted the issue of Artificially Intelligent citizens being shut down as a result of power trips, resulting in governments making prompt decisions to resolve the issue,
Concluding that Kenmoria is a nation that absolutely deserves formal recognition, and that an official commendation from this Council is in order,
Hereby commends Kenmoria.

General Assembly Resolution # 526
Land Reclamation Regulation
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
The World Assembly,
Worried that unregulated land reclamation can lead to ecological damages with long term economic damage, as well as dangers to the health of both people and the environment;
Acknowledging the use of land reclamation by member nations to increase their land area for necessary purposes such as halting urban spread into pristine terrestrial ecosystems, or extending port facilities of growing coastal cities;
Very concerned about the loss of biodiversity hotspots and areas vital for the reproduction of commercially important marine species, as an unintended consequence of land reclamation;
Especially aware of the vulnerability of shallow marine ecosystems and the coastal areas, yet understanding the occasional necessity for their development;
Searching for a way to balance ecological concerns with the necessities of urban development;
Hereby:
Defines:
land reclamation as the oceanic construction of new dry land in a nations territory;
impact study as an independent survey conducted to determine the potential ecological impacts of land reclamation;
Mandates thats a good faith effort to obtain and apply materials that cause as little environmental damage as possible for the physical stage of land reclamation must be made, unless obtaining those materials is incredibly infeasible or costly, in which case the best possible alternative must be used;
Subject to clause 5 of this resolution, orders member nations to prevent a land reclamation project from proceeding if it is likely to cause environmental damage that will severely imperil the health of marine life or those that live nearby;
Clarifies that if the potential damage caused can and will be mitigated to a reasonable level, the land reclamation project may proceed;
Requires member nations to conduct impact studies to determine if proceeding with land reclamation will not violate this resolution;
Requires that results of impact studies must be submitted to the Environmental Survey of the World Assembly (ESWA), and tasks the ESWA with:
issuing special permits to land reclamation projects that would otherwise violate this resolution only if:
not proceeding with land reclamation will severely imperil the health of a nations population; or
not proceeding with land reclamation will cause greater environmental damage than doing so;
issuing normal permits to land reclamation projects that will not violate this resolution;
prohibiting land reclamation from taking place if it violates the restrictions laid out by this resolution;
Mandates that land reclamation projects that are issued permits as a result of clause 5a must cause as little environmental damage as feasible, and prohibits land reclamation projects from proceeding if they are denied a permit by the ESWA.

Security Council Resolution # 333
Condemn The Free Joy State
A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Appreciating the immense work that national leaders face on a daily basis to keep their respective nations functioning smoothly,
Realizing that these leaders often face crises of a potentially national scale, which must be dealt with quickly and decisively on top of leaders' nominal workload lest said crises metastasize into crippling catastrophes,
Noting, however, that there exist malicious actors who will stop at nothing to exploit the busyness and gullibility of the average modern leader to nefarious ends, in an area where any mistake can have disastrous consequences,
Disgusted at the relentless efforts of The free joy state to actively manipulate the decisions of national leaders and precipitate these calamities on a multiversal scale,
Understanding that The Free Joy State has undertaken no fewer than three confirmed mass infiltration operations that could potentially undermine the stability of any nation in existence at any time, and which this Council has been utterly powerless to stop to this day, including:
Operation #522, codename "Time To Get Serious", in which Free Joyish agents pose as dour faith leaders and attempt to convince national leaders to outlaw laughter, thereby making a mockery of national governments and sowing the seeds of mass unrest in one fell swoop,
Operation #549, codename "Feasting Or Fasting?", in which Free Joyish stealth teams abduct the nephews of national leaders and brainwash said nephews into coercing their aunts and uncles into tossing untold scores of overweight teenagers into gladiatorial arenas, a cruel and petty mission which only exemplifies the utter depravity of The Free Joy State, and
a far more secretive plot, Operation #559 (codename "The Low Aspiration Nation"), in which operatives of The Free Joy State infiltrate the highest levels of national governments across the multiverse in an effort to trick national leaders into enslaving their own populations, a scheme so heinous even The Free Joy State's government sought to avoid being directly associated with it, leading to it being staged out of the puppet state of The new bluestocking homeland,
Mortified by The Free Joy State's rampant public attempts to influence those who seek to assist national leaders with running their nations and by extension corrupt their necessary work,
Reviling in horror at the blatant oppression that permeates every corner of Free Joyish society, which manifests through unnerving policies such as corporal punishment, conscription, outlawing public protest, banning people from entering or leaving the country, and human sacrifice,
Nauseated by the blatantly advertised villainy of The One True Church of the Exalted Holiness and Free Joyish institutions at large, who take a bizarre pride in their crimes against their own people, including overt racism, weekly public executions, and utter contempt for the environment and the health of their citizens,
Resolving to at least recognize the despicable endeavors of this grotesque excuse of a nation, even though they may never be stopped,

General Assembly Resolution # 527
Protected Working Leave
A resolution to enact uniform standards that protect workers, consumers, and the general public.
The World Assembly,
Understanding the importance of an economically and socially secure working class to long-term economic growth,
Believing that said security does not need to be mutually exclusive with the decision to raise a family or the need to maintain good health, and
Wishing to ensure that working people in all member nations have access to paid leave and job security in order to care for themselves and their loved ones, without unduly disrupting the operations of their employers, hereby:
Defines for the purposes of this resolution:
a "worker" as any individual bound by a contract to perform work or services for an employer, whose employment contract mandates the work or services be performed specifically by that worker, involves an obligation for the worker to perform work and the employer to provide it, and implies the employer having some degree of control over the manner in which the work is performed; and
"paid leave" as time during which a worker is not required to perform the work or services specified in their employment contract and receives:
compensation sufficient to financially support themselves and their dependents, to be provided by the government of a member nation;
all employment-related benefits which would otherwise be provided to that worker, to be provided by their employer; and
the guaranteed ability to return to the same or a comparable job after the conclusion of paid leave, should their employer reasonably be able to provide such;
Declares that member nations must provide workers who request such with a reasonable duration of paid leave to the extent necessary to adequately service any of the following conditions:
to care for a new child due to childbirth, adoption, or placement of said child in foster care should the child require such care;
to care for a seriously ill or physically or mentally disabled spouse, child below the age of majority, parent, grandparent, or dependent should they require such care; or
to recover from their own serious illness;
Forbids employers from discriminating or retaliating against workers for requesting or taking paid leave pursuant to section 2 of this resolution; such retaliation including:
not returning said workers to the same or a comparable job;
terminating employment;
reducing compensation or benefits; or
disciplining said workers;
Requires that workers:
give their employer reasonable notice in the event of a foreseeable birth or adoption; and
alert their employer of serious health conditions that are the reason for their requesting paid leave if practicable;
Clarifies that:
employers may not impose unnecessarily onerous conditions on the granting of paid leave;
any additional conditions by an employer on the granting of paid leave are to be implemented and enforced at the employer's expense;
member nations may place the burden of providing financial compensation to workers over the duration of paid leave on said workers' employer should the employer be capable of providing such without significant financial strain; and
employers, member nations, and World Assembly resolutions may implement policies granting workers more expansive paid leave than provided for by this resolution.
