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 # 519
On Embassy Collection
A resolution to express a position on international affairs and obligations.
This Security Council,
Stating the purpose of an interregional embassy as a way to connect two communities together by forming a tangible link between them, and displaying a deep, close friendship held by two regions,
Recognizing that many regions choose to dedicate their existence to the purpose of solely accumulating as many of these embassies as possible, between as many regions as possible, sometimes for an overarching goal, and sometimes for simple vanity, these regions being referred to as "embassy collectors",
Hearkening back to the days when the practice was far less widespread than it is now, when it was dominated by the likes of The Embassy, The Great Universe and SECFanatics, and while they were often ignored and considered annoying, the small number of them made them only a minor inconvenience instead of something of such scale as to reach the attention of this august body,
Bemoaning the current oversaturation in the field of embassy collection, which has led to many innocent and mostly inexperienced regions being completely and utterly confounded by the frequency with which they receive embassy requests, and with new regions that collect embassies being born and dying each and every day, destroying any meaningful connections they may have fostered in their time in operation,
Acknowledging that some embassy collectors are more respectful than others with their business, and that there exist embassy collectors that attempt to do good work, but that there are far fewer of them than the malignant kind that this resolution is meant to target, and stressing that this resolution is not about these regions,
Tired by embassy collectors' unproven claims that their practices foster interregional growth for those that choose to reside in smaller regions and have embassies with them, as embassy collector regions often have very little activity on their regional message boards or in other platforms, a not insignificant portion of which is unscrupulous RMB recruiters attempting to lure new nations into regions where their potential will be squandered,
Frustrated that some embassy collectors do not undertake any filtering of beliefs whatsoever, meaning that these regions are open to fascists and other assorted far-right and alt-right nations coming from regions that champion those ideals which this organization works so tirelessly to fight against, with a multitude of embassy collectors steadfastly defending their right to fascist embassies and some fully embracing such beliefs,
Angered that some embassy collectors, in sheer desperation, have resorted to pestering and tormenting those who rightly decline embassies with them, hoping, and often failing, to intimidate the target region into submitting to an embassy with them, an example being the now gratefully defunct Lardyland, who had become infamous for exactly this style of embassy collection,
Perplexed by the idea that there is any amount of skill or deft diplomacy involved in the collection process, with most embassy regions having embassies with collectors because they simply accept every request they are issued, failing to build a meaningful connection with any region that chooses to build an embassy with them, turning what should be something symbolizing friendship into another meaningless number to add to an embassy collector's portfolio,
Abhorring how the treatment of embassy regions as trophies is taken to the extreme by the raider groups who engage in wanton destruction of regions for no noble cause but to proudly display their conquests on the embassy pages of their jump points, burying the histories the regions once possessed, reducing them to a name amongst a sea of other names,
Hoping to discourage any more regions from falling into the trap and conducting embassy collection themselves with the passage of this resolution by proclaiming discontent with the practice that has maligned the collective conscience of the multiverse for so many years,
Hereby declares that a majority of embassy collectors, those who engage in unscrupulous behaviors such as ruthless badgering of their fellow regions and who sully the name of the better embassy collectors who mind their own business, are an astronomical nuisance that will likely continue to pester the multiversal community until its inevitable heat death and they are all eternally buried by the unstoppable passage of time.

General Assembly Resolution # 753
Repeal: “Concerning Financial Fraud”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #177 “Concerning Financial Fraud” (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly (WA),
Acknowledging the noble intent of GA177 to combat financial fraud;
Concerned however, that a key operative clause of GA177 states that WA members shall ensure that "all victims of fraud shall receive compensation for their loss equal to or greater than the value of the loss and that this compensation shall be derived from the fiscal and/or material assets of the perpetrator of the act of financial fraud which resulted in the loss";
Believing that this requirement has highly undesirable consequences in some circumstances, namely that in the absence of WA laws to the contrary:
The wording "ensure equal to or greater than the value of the loss and shall be derived from the fiscal and / or material assets of the perpetrator" increases the likelihood that the said assets may be exhausted by the need to pay compensation;
That such exhaustion may result in victims of other more serious crimes by the same perpetrator, in the absence of other legislation, such as rape, rioting, or treason, to receive no compensation as a result;
Further, that such exhaustion also means other obligations of the perpetrator, such as child or spousal support, may also fail to be fulfilled; and
The said provision may also perversely incentivize an individual who is accused (but not yet convicted) of the said offence to waste their assets on hedonistic lifestyle choices while on bail, if such individuals are convicted that they would be found guilty of the said offence and do not have adequate assets to pay out as compensation;
Further noting, since the passage of this resolution:
Protection for savers and investors have been enhanced through GARs 625 and 723;
Tort law reforms have been in place through GARs 447 and 515;
Believing that, in many cases, a reasonable judicial process in a WA state can determine compensation for victims and the sources of such funds properly (such as from the assets of the perpetrator(s), as well as any co-conspirators), and without additional guidance from the WA, and that the WA should carefully consider if a replacement is necessary;
Hereby repeals the target resolution, 'Concerning Financial Fraud'.

General Assembly Resolution # 754
Repeal: “Procedural Rights Of Defendants”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #706 “Procedural Rights Of Defendants” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Recognizing the need that a criminal justice system seeks the impartial truth and exercises cautious judgement,
Upholding the sanctity of suspects' and defendants' rights,
Recognizing that the needs of the public versus the liberties of the accused must be carefully measured to acquire that truth by which member states reach justice,
Disappointed that GAR #706, "Procedural Rights of Defendants", extends well past the balance of these values by guaranteeing defendants the ability to pick and choose which questions they give testimony for,
Concerned that the pursuit of the truth is not only stymied but frustrated as GAR #706 enables defendants to block up their own trials, answering or not answering questions according to whatever whim prevails them, including such fundamental questions as:
the identity of the defendant,
whether the defendant has chosen counsel and the identity of the defendant's counsel,
whether the defendant understands the charges brought against them, and
how the defendant pleads to a criminal charge,
Recognizing the preexisting right of defendants not to self-incriminate as guaranteed by GAR #37, "Fairness in Criminal Trials",
Further concerned by the allowance of "reasonable interrogation tactics" to produce defendant testimony, which leaves open the likelihood that prosecutors, frustrated at defendants' ability to stonewall the prosecution's line of questioning while answering their own counsel's questions at length, will seek to apply whatever interrogation technique available to them short of torture in order to get answers on the court record,
Distraught that, in the same vein, the target may by its limitations encourage prosecutors to increasingly rely on practices and tools of dubious merit such as body language experts as a substitute for forthcoming defendant testimony,
Convinced of this body's ability to better render the necessary protections for suspects experiencing police interrogation without the aforementioned obstructions to court procedure,
The World Assembly hereby repeals GAR #706, "Procedural Rights of Defendants".

Having traversed vast lands, reconnoitered mysterious worlds, and witnessed the incredible in search of stories to tell and legends to enshrine;

General Assembly Resolution # 755
Repeal: “Bail Conditions Arrangements”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #688 “Bail Conditions Arrangements” (Category: Regulation; Area of Effect: Legal Reform) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Appreciating the noble intent of resolution number 688, Bail Conditions Arrangements, to expand due process and freedom for people prior to conviction,
Worried, however, by the self-contradictory nature of the resolution,
Citing the preamble which declares an intent to target the practice of cash bail as unfair towards the less wealthy, however in practice clause 3 requires that cash bail be the primary option for bail,
Acknowledging the writing of this clause was a mistake, and was intended to set cash bail to be used only if alternatives were impractical,
Believing this mistake to be detrimental to the resolution and rendering it nonsensical in its entirety, given that other clauses attempt to limit the use of cash bail, thus effectively eliminating the ability of many defendants to be granted bail, and
Wishing to handle the topic of bail more eloquently moving forward and with respect to the sovereignty of its member nations,
Hereby repeals resolution #688, Bail Conditions Arrangements.
