General Assembly Resolution #724 “Pre-Packaged Food Labels” (Category: Regulation; Area of Effect: Consumer Protection) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Acknowledging the genuine intent of GA 724 to increase safety;

Recognizing that food labels are important for the safety of the consumer;

Disappointed, however, that GA 724 “Pre-Packaged Food Labels” places excessive and impractical demands on labeling requirements, including complex considerations that extend beyond feasible implementation;

Concerned that such broad and thorough labeling requirements could make food labels overly complicated and difficult for consumers to interpret, potentially obscuring vital information and creating confusion rather than clarity;

Troubled that the resolution mandates labels to be "customized for the sapient inhabitants of that WA state" including additional customized standards for inhabitants "in different stages of their life cycles”, complicating standardization, risking labeling inconsistency, and unnecessarily requiring labeling that is legible for sapients at all stages of life, including infants;

Further noting that the fastidiously demanded documentation of additives, allergens, processing technologies, and warnings, as indicated in clauses (4.a), (4.b), (4.g), and (4.h), can overwhelm consumers by providing too much information at once, detracting from clarity and undermining the core purpose of safety labeling;

Worried that the target places substantial burdens on smaller producers, who may struggle to meet aforementioned requirements due to limited awareness of product sources, manufacturing technologies, and contaminants, thereby limiting product diversity and availability, and also limiting the ability of small business owners to self-determine;

Deeply concerned that the resolution’s call for specific “cannibalism” warnings introduces culturally and species-specific interpretations, which can lead to unnecessary warnings that consuming a particular dish would constitute cannibalism and could confuse consumers for whom it would not constitute cannibalism;

Concluding that the overly burdensome, inconsistent, and impractical nature of GA 724 outweighs its intended benefits and hinders its ability to effectively promote consumer safety;

Hereby repeals GA 724 “Pre-Packaged Food Labels”.

The World Assembly,

Recognizing that states throughout the multiverse engage in the seizure of covered property for the benefit of the public or the provision of social services, often as a necessity for the greater good of the people,

Affirming the right to not be arbitrarily deprived of covered property as a human right which nations should protect through reasonable legal measures,

Understanding that certain states have taken to the practice of eminent domain, whereby adequate compensation is provided for the expropriation of covered property,

Seeking to ensure that no unfair or unjust expropriation of property violate the rights of the citizens while empowering states to participate in fair and just practices of eminent domain,

Hereby, subject to past WA legislation still in force,

1. Defines, for the purposes of this resolution:

   1. "covered property" as all property which is either not used to create wealth or only used to create wealth by the owner of the property themselves,

   2. "expropriation” as the act of a government of legally transferring covered property from an individual to the state regardless of the permission of its owner,

   3. "indirect expropriation” as the act of a government restricting an individual’s covered property rights to such an extent that it has de facto expropriated the property,

2. Reiterates that this resolution is meant to protect merely covered property and no other types of property, while nonetheless not prohibiting any future restrictions on the protection of other property, and that nothing in this resolution should be otherwise read,

3. Exempts from this resolution cases where:

   1. expropriation is performed on property demonstrably being used for a crime or on property the ownership of which is illegal in itself, such expropriation is necessary for public safety, and the expropriation was ordered, as part of a criminal sentence, by a court, or

   2. expropriation is done on a national scale to every example of a piece of property, such as but not limited to ownership of land,

4. Prohibits:

   1. indirect expropriation in all member states,

   2. expropriation which unfairly targets individuals based on their immutable characteristics, religion, or social class,

5. Requires that expropriation be done for public use, and for any property gained through expropriation to be the property of the state, not a private individual or entity,

6. Directs member states to attempt in good faith to utilize already owned property for the task or project before expropriating the covered property of individuals,

7. Mandates adequate compensation so that:

   1. in the case of covered property which serves as the sole housing of one or more occupants, the owner(s) of expropriated property may promptly replace their lost property to a similar or higher quality and general nature, and ensure the continued stable living condition of the occupants,

   2. in all other cases, compensation is matched to, or greater than, market prices according to prevailing economic trends and adjusted for inflation, as a fair measure of the covered property’s value.

General Assembly Resolution #8 “World Assembly Headquarters” (Category: Political Stability; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Recognizing that GA 8, the resolution establishing the World Assembly Office of Building Management (OBM) and a centralized World Assembly headquarters, is inefficient and misguided in both its conception and execution;

Concerned that the resolution diverts valuable resources away from the WA’s primary mission of addressing critical global issues such as universal rights, economic development, and environmental preservation, by focusing on the costly and redundant task of real estate management;

Acknowledging that the authority granted to the OBM to impose arbitrary fees on member nations for office space and facilities usage creates opportunities for inequitable treatment and financial burdens, disproportionately affecting smaller or less influential states, especially as these fees are imposed on top of existing member dues mandated by GA 17 'WA General Fund,' resulting in double-dipping and placing undue hardship on less prosperous nations;

Emphasizing that the legitimacy of the WA does not depend on a physical headquarters, but on the international cooperation, diplomacy, and shared values that the WA fosters can be achieved without centralized physical infrastructure;

Noting that the establishment of a WA headquarters on "neutral international territory" risks sparking territorial disputes, legal complications, and geopolitical tensions, which contradicts the resolution's aim of promoting international harmony;

Disapproving of the dismissive and unprofessional language used in the resolution to describe WA diplomats, which undermines the dignity and credibility of the World Assembly as a serious international body;

Hereby repeals GA 8 "World Assembly Headquarters."

The World Assembly,

Continuing its efforts to create long-term sustainability programs within the World Assembly's forests, and understanding contentions to protect small businesses and farmers, therefore enacts as follows:

1. Every member must establish or otherwise maintain an agency responsible for ensuring any source of timber or timber products produced or sold in that member is sustainably-sourced. In the event of a multinational entity that accomplishes this goal exists, a member may defer or collaborate with that entity as opposed to creating their own agency (including, say, a comparable agency from another member). Each agency may determine specifics of what constitutes something being "sustainably sourced", but shall include at minimum the following:

   1. Any logging operation did not cause habitat fragmentation, insofar as it introduces or exacerbates discontinuities in the natural habitat of any flora or fauna.

   2. Timber sourced near water have appropriate measures taken to minimize soil erosion, protect water quality, and not disturb water-based ecosystems.

   3. All areas where timber is sourced from must be subject to post-logging site rehabilitation, which may include activities such as soil restoration, removing any logging residue, and restoring (to the best of the nation's ability) the area to its previous ecological significance, and any other activities deemed necessary.

   4. Reforestation has occurred at an equal or greater rate than the number of trees deforested to source the timber.

2. No agency, as established in clause one of this resolution, shall approve any timber or timber product for sale which is not sourced sustainably, or in which they cannot track with confidence if it was sourced sustainably. Agencies may create temporary exceptions to this clause for the sale of timber or timber products, if the timber is domestically sourced from land clearing for essential infrastructural or agricultural purposes, provided that clearing such land could not be reasonably avoided and new trees have been afforested at an equal or greater rate than the number of trees deforested.

3. No member, or entity therein, shall allow the sale of any timber or timber products within its borders which is not ensured for sale pursuant to clause one of this resolution by a relevant certification agency. Additionally, no member, or entity therein, shall allow the export or import of any timber or timber products from its borders of any timber which is not approved for sale pursuant to clause one of this resolution by a relevant certification agency.

4. Agencies, as established in clause one of this resolution, must submit annual reports to the World Assembly Forest Commission (WAFC), detailing all timber approved and denied, in order to track general trends surrounding the timber and lumber industries, as well as track rates of deforestation and the impacts thereof. The WAFC may request additional information about the approval processes from agencies carrying out the provisions of this resolution and, if those approval processes constitute something which does not effectively and in good-faith ensure sustainability from timber and timber-based products, mandate that the agency change its criteria to increase efficacy.

5. Timber or timber products produced before the passage of this resolution by the World Assembly, or prior to a member's initial entry into the World Assembly, shall not be subject to the provisions of this resolution.

The World Assembly,

Committed to securing persons within member nations all the rights to which they are entitled by law;

Believing that persons ought not to be deterred from exercising their rights by virtue of financial burdens imposed by law; and

Especially concerned that in criminal cases, the threat of ruinous financial costs can coerce innocent defendants into pleading guilty, both perverting the justice system and allowing for guilty parties to remain unpunished:

Hereby enacts as follows:

1. Definitions.
   In this resolution:

   1. "offense" means any violation of a criminal, civil, or administrative nature, however designated and whether statutory or otherwise, for which a conviction can be obtained; and

   2. "defendant" means a person, whether natural or juridical, charged with an offense.

2. Regulation of court fees.
   No member nation may impose any financial obligation upon a defendant on the grounds that the defendant is charged with an offense or has exercised any right relating to trial. This section shall not be construed to forbid the imposition of fines or restitution upon conviction of an offense.

3. Right to full discovery.
   No member nation may impose any financial obligation upon a defendant on account of such defendant's assertion of the right to be informed of the nature of the offense, to know the evidence intended to be used against the defendant, or to know the evidence in the government's possession which tends to benefit the defense (whether as to guilt or as to punishment).

4. Compensation for vindicated defendants.
   When a prosecution for an offense terminates with an acquittal, a permanent dismissal of charges, or any other disposition which does not include an admission or finding of guilt, the defendant shall not be required to pay any financial obligation arising out of that case that was reasonably necessary to the defense. Any such obligation already paid shall be refunded in full. This section does not apply to fees paid by the defendant to defense counsel.

5. Protection of alternative resolutions.
   This resolution does not forbid the practice of reducing, suspending, or dismissing charges upon the completion of voluntary mediation, conciliation, tertiary prevention measures, or similar practices between the defendant and the victim or victims of the offense, if such practice is in accordance with the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.
