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 # 544
Prohibition Of Honor-Based Violence
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
The General Assembly,
Believing that acts of honor-based violence are especially heinous, and represent a fundamental betrayal of the trust afforded by a person to their relatives and members of their community,
Appalled that such acts occur in this current day and age, often with the tacit or explicit support of local authorities,
Seeking to put an end to these vile acts,
Hereby:
Defines "honor-based violence" as an act of violence perpetrated against an individual by or at the direction of a relative or any other member of a community, due to the perception that the individual has brought shame or dishonor upon their family or community, or has otherwise violated an honor code.
Prohibits:
honor-based violence from being carried out in any member state and;
the belief that the victim of an act of violence brought shame or dishonor upon their family or community, or otherwise violated an honor code, from being permitted as a part of:
any defense in criminal proceedings or
any argument to reduce the severity of criminal penalties.
Requires member states to prosecute alleged honor-based violence with at least the same severity as they prosecute other forms of alleged unlawful violence against individuals.

Security Council Resolution # 348
Condemn Minineenee
A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Beginning with the fact that Minineenee first entered the world stage in Autumn 2003 and since that time has participated in and orchestrated many egregious offenses against the community.
Bringing to light the first of the coups by Minineenee with the overthrow of The West Pacific on November 2, 2005, wherein Minineenee and their allies in the Core held absolute power under a declaration of martial law following the announcement of dissolution of the constitution with Minineenee as the sitting Delegate. The coup led to a period of instability and chaos in The West Pacific which persisted for many years after.
Observing that Minineenee spearheaded the formation of Empire, a notorious organization which operated under the cloak of anonymity which was achieved by the promotion of satellite nations to conceal their true identities. Minineenee, as the leader of the organization, drove Empire's formation and contributed greatly to the selection of regions targeted as well as the execution of each of these operations. Empire would go on to enact multiple coups or conduct such attempts on many significant regions across the world from 2008 onwards.
Deeply concerned by the coup of The East Pacific which was successfully carried out on August 16, 2008, through the satellite nation Lady phedre and under the aegis of the newly formed Empire. Through the unlawful gathering of endorsements, Minineenee built up to the coup until Gnidrah was finally replaced and the satellite nation of Lady Phedre controlled The East Pacific. Minineenee's roles were as the ringleader of the group and as the head of the illegitimate government, where they most notably served as the Delegate of the coup government of The East Pacific for the duration of the operation. Over one-hundred nations were forcibly exiled from The East Pacific throughout the months in which the coup lasted.
Further disturbed by the execution of the unlawful seizure of Osiris on December 28, 2012 from the legitimately elected Pharaoh, an effort which was publicly spearheaded by Minineenees Empire allies Dalimbar and New Kervoskia but encouraged and driven by Minineenee behind the scenes, as credit for the inspiration and eventual execution was eventually attributed to Minineenee by the executors of the coup.
Discomfited by Minineenee and Empire garnering their core support from among numerous imperialist groups which historically also worked against the good of sovereign regions and their right to self-governance, such as Gatesville, The New Inquisition, and Great Britain and Ireland.
Perturbed by the effectiveness of early elitist propaganda issued by Empire under Minineenee's direction intended to battle the narrative of the natives of the regions who sought to reclaim their home regions from the invading forces.
Alarmed that Minineenee was further caught attempting to coup several other regions across their time, namely concentrating these efforts in the Sinker regions. Two such regions which Minineenee attempted to coup were:
The Rejected Realms, both in 2011 and early 2015, attempted by subtly gathering endorsements from unwitting natives of the region through the use of hitherto-unknown satellite nations. Both efforts were outed before they could succeed.
Lazarus during its seemingly free-for-all Anarchy phase in 2018 through solicitation of endorsements from unwitting natives and allies alike, an effort made before a stabilized new regime could be enacted by the native populace and which was ultimately thwarted by the then-current delegate, Imkiville.
Believing that Minineenees shocking efforts against the sovereignty of the natives across the NationStates world are worthy of international recognition and concerned that this has not yet been addressed.

General Assembly Resolution # 545
Military Death Penalty Ban
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Recognizing the utility of GA#535 "Death Penalty Ban" in abolishing its application under most circumstances,
Concerned that the remaining applications of the death penalty are injurious and inhumane to people who are sentenced to death for crimes they may not have even committed,
Convinced that the death penalty is a draconian judicial punishment often used in the name of revenge and wrongfully rationalized as justice,
Appalled that exceptions can be made in the application of the death penalty,
Confident that alternative sentencing exists to produce fair and effective justice for victims of heinous crimes,
Determined to discontinue all remaining uses of the death penalty,
The World Assembly hereby,
Abolishes the death penalty for all crimes under the purview of military law;
Prohibits states from deporting persons to states that may seek the application of the death penalty against them;
In regards to Article 2, an exception shall be provided for receiving states that enter into a lawful, written contract that assures the extraditing state that the persons in question shall not receive the death penalty.

General Assembly Resolution # 546
Blood Donation Safety and Equality Act
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Lauding previous efforts by the World Assembly to both increase the efficiency of the blood donation process and increase the rights of minorities,
Recognizing that some restrictions exist upon certain minority groups, those of which are often not based in peer-reviewed science, and that beyond the obvious bigotry, they have a negative impact on the amount of blood that is able to be donated, meaning less people can receive the medical treatment that they may need, and that scientific developments have largely mitigated any risk that these restrictions may have once been based upon,
The General Assembly hereby enacts the following:
No restrictions may be placed upon the ability of a person to voluntarily donate blood based solely upon their race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other reductive or arbitrary characteristic.
If the safety of the recipients of donated blood is the reason given for a restriction on blood donations, the standards of safety must be applied equally to all donors.
A person may be prohibited from donating blood if there are notable risks to the donor's health involved in the process of blood donation or their blood would pose a health risk to the recipient.
If a prospective blood donor knows or suspects that they are a carrier for a blood-borne illness they can be prohibited from donating blood, and it shall be considered a criminal offense to knowingly attempt to donate unsafe blood.
Existing scientific committees created by this body shall be utilized to share information related to blood-borne illnesses and blood donation across member states, as to mitigate any risk of contaminated blood.

General Assembly Resolution # 547
Repeal: “Digital Network Defense”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #378 “Digital Network Defense” (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Observing this assemblys dedication to protecting the privacy of the various citizens of World Assembly member nations, through resolutions such as Data Protection Accord, Privacy Protection Act and Right to Secure Digital Communication;
Concerned by the total lack of respect for personal privacy by Digital Network Defense, codifying the right of member nations to monitor their citizens digital footprint and allowing them to easily justify such an invasion of privacy by saying it was to monitor digital security threats, and by blocking future legislation from restricting their ability to do so; and
Realising that in order to restrict member nations from invading personal privacy willy-nilly through World Assembly legislation, Digital Network Defence must be repealed; hereby
Repeals Digital Network Defense.
