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 # 320
Condemn Noahs Second Country
A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Acknowledging that the international trade of valuable artwork between a multitude of nations has been recognised by this council on several occasions,
Believing that the nation of Noahs Second Country (henceforth known as NSC for the purposes of this resolution) is one such nation bent on the disruption of international trade through their atrocious shenanigans,
Appalled at the despicable deeds perpetuated by NSC, including but not limited to:
enslaving the entire population of more than 850 nations in Second Best Card Farm, purely for the purpose of obtaining their artwork, only for it to be stored away in the well hidden vaults of several other colonies such as SecoNd beSt card colleCtor and S2 Rares Collector,
using the aforementioned colonies to counterfeit and reproduce copies of artwork from its nation to build a monopoly and inflate prices to grotesque values,
the deliberate inflation of the value of the common and uncommon artwork of nations such as Noahania, The air force of south asians 26, British Rashah, and Death and killing tactics 3, no doubt attempts to elicit mayhem into the artwork trading community,
the large scale laundering of money using multiple copies of the artwork of -ii, achieved by trading it over a record 8200 times between NSC and their colonies,
Alarmed at NSC's leading role in 'Card Defending' through their leadership positions in Card Defenders Alliance, a movement NSC formed in an attempt to maintain the "status quo" and oppress nations with growing interests in the artwork dealing community,
Outraged at NSC for establishing and editing Card News, a widely circulated propaganda newsletter that promotes and celebrates the nefarious crimes perpetuated by NSC and other traders,
Angered at NSCs antics in international artwork competitions, such as using their counterfeiting tactic to win the Card Olympics four times in a row, giving them an unfair advantage,
Shocked that NSC, under the puppet nation N00027, deliberately inflated the artwork of The Dark System to make it the most valuable artwork in the world, shortly before crashing the market value back to around the original value, causing an immeasurable amount of havoc and almost ruining regional artwork events,
Revolted by the multitude of transactions caused by NSC in the artworks market, which wreaked havoc on the communications systems internationally, causing a shutdown of all nations and the disruption of military campaigns,
Disgusted that NSC does not limit their destructive and malicious actions to the international trade of artwork, but undertakes further actions to sow strife and chaos in foreign lands, as evidenced by the following:
encouraging impressionable children to post malicious comments about other citizens online in the covert operation dubbed 'Going on the Cyber Offensive',
contaminating the bottled water of foreign countries with deadly pathogen in the covert operation dubbed 'Bottled Up Problems',
sending spies disguised as survival experts to expose secret military bases in foreign nations in the covert operation dubbed 'Candid Camera', an operation so vile that NSC agents left behind the stench of urine in the bases of their victims,
Annoyed at the other efforts by NSC to cover up their repulsive actions and give themselves a clean image, including:
authoring SC#311 "Commend 9003", a resolution which ironically commended a helpful member of the international artwork trade community,
authoring SC#317 "Commend Trotterdam", a resolution which commended a nation renowned for their helpfulness in guiding leaders through the national issues they face,
creating multiple well received, highly cited dispatches on how to correctly format and organise factbooks for other nations,
Abhorred at NSCs backward policy for enforcing compulsory nudity when possible, resulting in NSC controlling over five out of the top 11 nations in the nudity census,
Hoping that an official condemnation from this body will help new nations to see through the self-proclaimed Second Best title NSC has adopted and be aware of the danger posed by this nation to society,
Hereby condemns Noahs Second Country.

General Assembly Resolution # 507
Repeal: “Promotion of Recycling”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #483 “Promotion of Recycling” (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: All Businesses - Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The General Assembly,
Acknowledging and praising GAR#483 for its attempt to promote recycling of materials, thereby reducing waste;
Disappointed, however, at the numerous critical flaws in GAR#483 that render it unable to achieve its commendable goal;
Annoyed at the garbled language littered throughout GAR#483, rendering clauses incoherent and unable to be enforced even in good faith, such as clause 3s bizarre phrasing 'the usage of through recycling recovered materials';
Concerned that despite defining recyclable waste material in Clause 1(a), the term is not used in Clause 2(b), which as a result mandates that member nations implement separate systems to collect all refuse containing even a small portion of recyclable material;
Further concerned that this mandate is infeasible and incredibly costly, as it arguably requires the collection of goods that are:
a serious environmental, occupational or processing hazard;
extremely difficult or expensive to salvage or recycle; or
of incredibly low use in a member nation's economy;
Irritated by the resolution's apparent insistence on domestic handling of all materials, without any allowance made for possible trade or transshipment of recyclable waste products to reduce costs among all member states;
Saddened by the resolutions lack of insistence on full upgrade and update measures for nations claiming to have recycling programs already in place, allowing pre-existing substandard recycling programs to pass without penalty; and
Hoping that by repealing this legislation, a more effective resolution to promote good recycling practices can be passed;
Hereby repeals General Assembly Resolution 483, "Promotion Of Recycling."

General Assembly Resolution # 508
Restrictions on Forced Eugenics
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Condemning the use of forced eugenics,
Applauding the measures contained in GAR #38 "Convention Against Genocide" against the use of eugenics to further an agenda of ethnic cleansing,
Convinced that it should be the guardian's prerogative, and not a state's or a medic's, whether their unborn offspring undergoes genetic modification,
Subject to its previous, extant legislation, the World Assembly hereby:
Forbids member states, or the governments of any political subdivision thereof, from incentivising the genetic modification of any sapient offspring prior to their birth, except for incentivising the remedy or elimination of disorders, disabilities, or diseases;
Prohibits any individual or entity from genetically modifying or commanding the genetic modification of sapient offspring prior to their birth without the informed consent of the offspring's legal guardians; and
Forbids any individual or entity from compelling, forcing, or coercing a legal guardian to give consent to the genetic modification of their offspring prior to their birth.

Security Council Resolution # 321
Commend Valanora
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Observing that Valanora, as well as its satellite states of Pasarga and Demot, has contributed immensely to the NationStates sporting community for over sixteen years,
Recognising the sheer number of tournaments that Valanora has been awarded hosting rights to, signifying the communitys broader trust in Valanora to host tournaments in an unbiased and fair manner, including:
a record-breaking fourteen World Cup Committee tournaments, encompassing an unparalleled ten World Cups (seven were hosted as Valanora, two as Pasarga and one as Demot), three Cups of Harmony and one Baptism of Fire,
eight editions of international regional football tournaments, comprising of four editions each of the Atlantian Oceania Confederation of Association Football Cup (as Valanora) and the Copa Rushmori (as Pasarga), for the regions of Atlantian Oceania and Rushmore respectively, and
four World Cup of Hockey tournaments, the international ice hockey championship organised by the World Cup of Hockey Federation,
Highlighting that Valanora has been elected President of both the World Cup Committee and the World Cup of Hockey Federation, being entrusted to perform duties such as regularly updating rankings and memberships, running host bid processes and upholding the constitutions of the respective sports,
Noting that the curation of a tournament requires voluntarily hosting tournaments that the sporting community expects on a regular basis without interruption nor the expectation of a reward,
Grateful that despite the time consuming nature of these responsibilities, Valanora has and continues to curate some of the multiverses prominent sporting and international club tournaments, which are:
the Di Bradini Cup (also known as the Under-21 World Cup), held in association with the Starblaydia Football Association for thirteen consecutive editions over five years,
the Atlantian Oceania Champions League for twenty-nine consecutive editions over seven years,
the Copa de Campeones, the Rushmori regional club football tournament, which has been curated by Pasarga for sixteen consecutive editions, and
the Hockey Champions League, a tournament which Valanora curated for the inaugural thirteen editions to revive international club ice hockey after a prolonged period of no competition,
Awed by the stunning range of accomplishments that the Vanorian football team, The Marauders, has achieved, including:
being the best football team ever in NationStates history, according to the World Cup Hall of Fame rankings,
having the highest win percentage and the highest accumulated goal difference in World Cup Committee sanctioned tournaments, with both accomplishments unlikely to ever be matched,
seven appearances at the World Cup Final, with five World Cup victories (XL, XLII, XLIII, LII and LXI editions), and
thirty-seven consecutive qualifications to the World Cup Proper and thirty-four appearances at the World Cup quarterfinal level including a spell of seventeen consecutive quarterfinal appearances, all superlative feats given that World Cup tournaments typically involve over a hundred nations,
Further noting that Valanora has had other sources of athletic success which includes Pasargas football team, the Wanderers, reaching three consecutive World Cup Finals (LXXI, LXXII, and LXIII), winning one (LXXII), and the Vanorian ice hockey team, the Calcuttas, winning six editions of the World Cup of Hockey,
Acknowledging the wide-ranging respect that the sporting community has for Laborious Hawk, a seven hundred and forty-five year old elf who is one of the multiverses best ever players, having inspirationally captained the Marauders through all of their achievements from the midfield,
Believing that Valanoras service to the sporting community as a host, administrator and curator of tournaments should be held up as an example for future nations to emulate,
Hereby commends Valanora

General Assembly Resolution # 509
GMO International Trade Accord
A resolution to enact uniform standards that protect workers, consumers, and the general public.
The World Assembly,
Admiring the potential of agricultural biotechnology to revolutionize food production, bolster commercial growth, and ensure food security for peoples throughout the world,
Recognizing genetically modified organisms as a crucial product of agricultural biotechnology, which offer immense benefits in crop yield, pest resistance, and other areas,
Understanding that genetically modified organisms by their very nature present a potentially extreme hazard to national populations, due in no small part to the unpredictability of novel genetic material, which poses substantial risks such as increased selection pressure on native organisms, gene transfer resulting in resistant pests and microorganisms with increased pathogenicity, and the impossibility of removing many such organisms from the environment after their introduction, and
Wishing to encourage the development of agricultural biotechnology while addressing this potential hazard and supporting global conservation and agricultural sustainability efforts through the regulation of the international trade of genetically modified organisms, hereby:
Defines for the purposes of this resolution:
"biotechnology" as the application of genetic modification techniques that overcome natural barriers of physiological reproduction or recombination, and are not techniques used in traditional breeding and selection; and
a "genetically modified organism" (GMO) as any living organism or product made from a living organism, including viruses and similar particles, that possesses genetic material in a novel combination obtained through the use of biotechnology, excepting sapient organisms;
Establishes the Committee for the Regulation of Modified Products (CRMP) under the International Trade Administration for the purpose of overseeing the implementation of measures pursuant to this resolution, with the following responsibilities:
establishing and maintaining guidelines regarding the international trade of GMOs, in order to protect conservation efforts and biodiversity;
providing guidance on environmental risk assessment of GMOs;
facilitating the exchange of information concerning GMOs;
assisting member nations with the acquisition of resources to safely develop and effectively regulate biotechnology;
assisting member nations with the implementation of measures pursuant to this resolution; and
providing funding to member nations for the purpose of implementing measures pursuant to this resolution, in the event that the member nations in question are demonstrably unable to otherwise implement such measures due to economic limitations;
Mandates that member nations:
make decisions regarding the import of GMOs based on scientific environmental risk assessments where reasonable;
take reasonable and effective measures to prevent the illicit shipment or accidental release of GMOs or their genetic material;
take economically feasible measures to promote public awareness of the benefits and risks of GMOs according to a cost-benefit analysis of said measures; and
assist with scientific and technical training regarding GMOs;
Reserves to member nations the ability to set their own policies regarding the sterilization of plant GMOs and the use of sterilized plant GMOs, with the following requirements:
said policies must permit the use of sterilized plant GMOs in cases where the environmental benefit of using sterilized plant GMOs would clearly outweigh any downsides of their use; and
said policies must implement reasonable and effective measures to prevent the spread of sterilized plant GMO pollen to any nearby fields of similar plants;
Encourages member nations to facilitate more expansive research and development of biotechnology.
