General 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.

End Conversion Therapy
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

requires member states to prohibit the practice and advertisement of conversion therapy in all circumstances,
clarifies that this resolution does not affect the right of willing individuals to seek and receive gender-adequation or -affirmation procedures, and

General Assembly Resolution # 560
Convention On Guest Workers
A resolution to enact uniform standards that protect workers, consumers, and the general public.
The World Assembly,
Noticing that individuals regularly seek work outside of their home nation for one reason or another,
Recognizing that this august body has not yet imposed a comprehensive set of regulations which their employers and member states must follow,
Hereby:
Defines guest worker as an employee who temporarily works in a country other than that of the nation in which that person is a citizen.
Requires that employers in World Assembly member states pay guest workers the same wages as their domestic counterparts for the same responsibilities, performance, and title.
Further mandates that employers in World Assembly member states not discriminate against domestic workers or guest workers in hiring or retention practices due to their status as such.
Requires that employers in member states assist in the provision of a minimum standard of living providing basic necessities for newly arrived guest workers.
Instructs employers and member states to make provision for guest workers to receive social services and healthcare while fulfilling the terms of their contract and that guest workers make the mandatory number of contributions into social services or healthcare services required by the member state they work in for them and, if applicable, their dependents to be able to access aforementioned services.
Orders employers or World Assembly member states to not enforce immigration provisions on guest workers, provided they continue to fulfill the terms of their contract.
Decrees that member nations may not cancel an employees visa and employers may not terminate a guest workers contract, in the event that the guest worker is involved in legal action undertaken in the state in which they work and the legal action to be undertaken is to take place after the expiry of a guest workers work permit.
If the legal action involving the guest worker is of a civil nature, the member nation must either provide for the guest worker to stay in their host nation until the civil action or the guest worker may leave the member nation on the condition that the member state respect to their right to reenter their jurisdiction for the purpose of participating in said aforementioned civil action.
If the legal action involving the guest worker is of a criminal nature, the state may enforce any provisions it sees fit regarding the detaining or remand of criminal defendants.
Directs member states make provision for the ability of guest workers to report violations of their rights similar to provisions extant in World Assembly law and further requires that member states or employers not retaliate, either in withholding wages, documentation such as a work permit, or agreed upon goods or services as a result of a report by a guest worker that their employer has violated their rights.
Declares that nothing in this resolution requires a member state to operate a guest worker program or constitutes a right to migrate for work.

General Assembly Resolution # 561
Protection of Apostates
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Cognizant of its commitment to grant all inhabitants of member nations the right to practice their religion freely and in peace, and in a manner that is in agreement with their conscience, and their religion's teachings; yet
Equally committed to ensuring that the safety and wellbeing of apostates are secured, and similarly protected by the wings of World Assembly law;
The General Assembly hereby:
Defines for the purposes of this resolution:
'apostate' as any natural person who has formally renounced their religion and/or religious beliefs; and
'apostasy' as the act of a natural person freely and consciously, formally renouncing their religion and/or religious beliefs; and
'religious leadership' as any individual, group or entity that has a leadership function within a religion, religious institution, or any other organised belief-system;
Requires that member states treat apostasy as a legal act within their national jurisdictions;
Acknowledges the right of apostates and people considering apostasy not to be subjected to any form of punishment, reprisal, persecution, or humiliation, as a result of their apostasy or their contemplation of this change, whether by religious leaderships or by individual or grouped members of a religion or organised belief-system, beyond those forms of treatment that would also be legal if carried out for reasons other than religiously-motivated ones;
Clarifies that, as far as earlier General Assembly resolutions that are presently in force allow, religious institutions are still allowed to bar apostates from employment in their service in roles for which faith can reasonably be considered relevant, such as priesthood or teaching about religious matters, and from access to their places of worship (except as necessary for the proper performance of legitimate tasks such as by emergency services, official safety inspectorates, or armed forces, and except for any parts of those premises that are being used at the time for significant secular purposes, for example as polling stations or as emergency shelters) or participation in their religious & church-organised social activities;
Decrees that the process of apostasy must not be unduly restricted, or obstructed by onerous bureaucracy, or force individuals to pass through discouraging or humiliating practices in order to enact it;
Mandates that member nations recognise the right of apostates, and individuals contemplating apostasy, to keep the reasoning behind their decision to commit apostasy private;
Clarifies that religious leaderships, or individual members of a religion or organised belief-system, are permitted to attempt to convince those contemplating apostasy, or apostates themselves, to remain faithful through reasonable conversation and debate;
Specifies that a refusal to partake in a conversation or debate as per Clause 7, by either an apostate, or an individual contemplating apostasy, shall not have any consequences to the detriment of that apostate or individual;
Requires that member states enforce the articles of this resolution in a manner that entices compliance, or that inspires deterrence regarding non-compliance with the content of this legislation.

General Assembly Resolution # 562
Repeal: “Ban on Conversion Therapy”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #437 “Ban on Conversion Therapy” (Category: Civil Rights; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Applauding GA#437 "Ban on Conversion Therapy," which prohibited the most exploitative forms of conversion therapy while it was in force,
Noting that GA#559 "End Conversion Therapy" - which outlaws all forms of conversion therapy - has rendered these prohibitions obsolete, and
Believing that repealing GA#437 is sensible, given that it does nothing that GA#559 does not already do...
The General Assembly hereby repeals GA#437 "Ban on Conversion Therapy."

General Assembly Resolution # 563
Repeal: “International Salvage Laws”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #50 “International Salvage Laws” (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The World Assembly,
Recognizing that this resolution does not actually mandate anything, only suggest its measures be enacted, while also operating under the impression that it is mandating something,
Noting that this resolution even fails to provide justification for its attempted action, only saying that such justification exists,
Wishing to remove such incredibly weak and inadequate legislation from the pages of international law,
Believing that stronger, more adequate legislation on the topic of international waters is necessary,
Hereby repeals GA#50, "International Salvage Laws."
