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 # 274
Commend Lyras
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Acknowledging the current system of government under which the Lyran people live to be that of a true stratocracy, though also citing that such is not a military junta.
Recognizing the Protectorate of Lyras as the progenitor of Lyran Arms; a global economics and trade powerhouse that has set the standard for custom-made military technology and weaponry worldwide.
Distinguishing Lyran Arms as one of the most successful warfare equipment manufacturers to premier upon the world in recent years; a subordinate corporation to the Executive Command Staff of the Lyran Protectorate that aims to bring nations the choice of cutting-edge modern-tech military hardware and establish permanent harmony between nations.
Noting the efforts of the Protectorate of Lyras to establish the aforementioned permanent harmony between nations whilst undertaking the promulgation of the Castlegate Declaration; a doctrine which the nation holds dear in its stout denunciation of slavery and its views of abhorrence towards the trade of human lives.
Applauding the philosophical propositions of a Lyran State, namely ones that are geared towards the mentorship of newer nations, recognizing startup nations as equals rather than as lesser peoples.
Awed at the Protectorates usage of the Lyran Covenant alliance, an alliance that included nations such as Imbrinium and Morrdh, and the coining of the term peace invasion; setting the stage for a noteworthy event for which the Lyran government used its diplomatic status as a hegemon to ensure peace be made between its two allies following the invasion of Mordent island.
Highlighting the dedication of the Protectorate of Lyras to preserve and sustain good governance in the wake of research and technology breakthroughs that further seek to aid in the defence of innocent and unarmed nations. As has been displayed via the forms of anti-slavery and anti-imperialist positionings such as:
The Protectorate of Lyras assistance in the remilitarization of Mokastana, a State that had previously been classified as a banana republic, which led to the nation gaining a more thorough understanding of how to properly maintain a standing army and begin to defend themselves; all lead through the example of the Lyran Protectorate and their understanding of military technology.
The liberation of territory that had been previously ruled with an iron fist by the Protectorate of Dukopolious, a known communist oppressor, in aggressions that constituted an end-goal of achieving stability in Greater Dienstad.
The Protectorate of Lyras centralized role in fighting against Stevid (The Holy Empire) in the Great Dienstadi War; a conflict that was engaged in by most of the active major powers of the day.
The Protectorates blatant refusal to engage in orderly and open export trade with the Blackhelm Confederacy; a nation condemned by the hallowed halls of this body since Security Council resolution number fifty-nine entitled "Condemn Blackhelm Confederacy.
The pioneering of freedom for the slaves of Greater tezdrian, an initiative that is validated through the passage of Security Council resolution number one-hundred entitled Commend Lamoni, where the forces of the Lyran State saw active combat against the tyranny of Greater tezdrian as mentioned by Security Council resolution number twenty "Condemn Greater Tezdrian".
Observing that the exemplary actions carried out by the Protectorate of Lyras, as described and outlined herein, are transcendent of the World Assemblys core principles of promoting international peace, spreading universal goodwill, and maintaining healthy diplomatic discourse between nations from all walks of civilization.
Hereby Commends Lyras.

General Assembly Resolution # 453
Preventing Groundwater Contamination
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
Celebrating past efforts to raise awareness of the importance of water resource conservation and protection, and to implement policies to reduce overuse and contamination of naturally occurring water resources,
Concerned that few of these efforts have addressed groundwater sources in any manner, even though underground aquifers provide the majority of water used and consumed in member states,
Noting that transboundary aquifers are very common, and the management and protection of their resources inherently represents an international issue,
Recognizing that nearly all member nations depend on aquifers for the purposes of agriculture, industry, and domestic consumption, and that a risk to the potability or usability of these essential water resources presents a risk to the prosperity and survival of countless inhabitants of member states,
Understanding that while many aquifers may be less prone to contamination than surface water sources, few technologies exist to resolve groundwater contamination after its effects become deleterious, and many shallow, consolidated, unconfined, or overexerted aquifers do not sufficiently benefit from the filtration effects of surrounding soils to prevent contamination,
Resolving to reduce contamination of vulnerable aquifers by saltwater and artificial pollutants, including pathogens, nitrates, phosphates, toxic and nuclear wastes, and artificial herbicides and pesticides,
The World Assembly hereby:
Tasks the International Bureau of Water Safety with researching and consolidating information on the size, distribution, and characteristics of groundwater resources, and issuing recommendations for the protection and conservation of these resources for reliable, long-term use,
Requires member states to plan future land use so that agricultural, industrial, and transportation pollutants will not present any measurable threat to the utility and potability of aquifers,
Mandates the implementation of regulations to protect groundwater resources near or interacting with sinkholes and cenotes on agricultural developments, including but not limited to:
The growth or construction of a physical barrier around the mouth of the sinkhole or cenote, at a distance from the edge appropriate for the conditions of the sinkhole site, in order to minimize the accumulation of pollutants within the sinkhole or cenote,
Diversion of all surface runoff around or away from the sinkhole or cenote,
Cessation of application of fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides in the vicinity of the sinkhole or cenote,
Restriction of all activity within the enclosed area of the sinkhole or cenote to scientific and recreational activities individually reviewed by a jurisdictional authority, determined to present no measurable threat to any groundwater system, and carried out by individuals possessing permits to perform those activities,
Mandates protection of wildlife within all naturally occurring underground drainage systems, and recommends communication with the WA Endangered Species Committee for specific means by which to preserve the ecosystems contained within,
Recommends that development of urban or industrial infrastructure upon evaporite formations, especially carbonates, in cases where acidic dissolution has resulted in extensive underground drainage systems, be limited as much as possible, and requires member states to institute additional limitations on industrial and agricultural activity to further prevent contamination of these particularly vulnerable aquifers,
Requires all wells constructed over unconfined aquifers to undergo regular inspections for contamination of the groundwater below, and prohibits the use or disposal of potential contaminants in or nearby the opening of any such well,
Requires member states to limit extraction from each aquifer to a maximum of the rate at which each aquifer is projected to saturate, and urges member states to further limit extraction from aquifers bordering saltwater fronts, so that the pressure of the freshwater column is maintained at a safe depth for long-term environmental health and reliable extraction, and so that high-density saltwater does not upcone into the freshwater column.
