General Assembly Resolution #425 “Protection of Biomedical Research” (Category: Health; Area of Effect: Research) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly (WA),

Applauding the noble intent of the target resolution to regulate the ethics of biomedical research, including the treatment of cancer;

Dismayed that clause 1 imposes the requirement for WA states to “determine the sapience of any species for which the status is as-yet indeterminate or unknown” before allowing “ biomedical experimentation on said species", and that a similar requirement is imposed regarding “life provably sentient” in clause 5;

Flummoxed that the clauses impose an onerous and, for some WA states, perhaps unattainable determination on sapience or sentience, in terms of potential false negatives or false positives on whether a species does or does not have sapience or sentience;

Horrified at the potential harmful effects of both "false negatives" or "false positives" on the suffering caused to various species;

Looking forward to a potential replacement to fix these issues to be considered by the WA in due course, if the WA considers this appropriate;

Hereby repeals the target resolution, GA425 "Protection of Biomedical Research".

General Assembly Resolution #116 “Nuclear Waste Safety Act” (Category: International Security; Strength: Significant) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Noting that GA#116 decrees that those members who wish to import nuclear waste, but cannot "prove it has all the necessary structure so that international nuclear waste shall never leak, be stolen, or otherwise diverted from perpetual storage [...] shall be forbidden to receive international waste,"

Concerned that this requirement, by failing to clarify what sort of "international waste" cannot be received by members who are unable to fulfil it, may render such members unable to receive any waste from abroad (even non-nuclear) simply because that they cannot adequately store imported nuclear waste,

Believing that it is most certainly not sensible to forbid a nation from importing food waste or discarded plastic bags because it cannot securely store nuclear waste from abroad, and

Saluting GA#645 "Responsible Handling of Toxic Materials" and GA#699 "Safe Transportation of Hazardous Materials" for introducing regulations on the storage and international transportation of all toxics (not only nuclear waste) respectively which are sufficiently stringent and watertight as to render GA#116 unnecessary...

The General Assembly hereby repeals GA#116 "Nuclear Waste Safety Act."

General Assembly Resolution #752 “Civilian Air Compact” (Category: International Security; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Appreciating that sensible rules and regulations surrounding the flight and flight plans of civilian aircraft are often needed, and GA 752 "Civilian Air Compact" seeks to institute these sensible protocols, and

Believing that the Civilian Air Compact overreaches in its authority to institute those protocols, giving a much greater burden to members of this Assembly than is needed to maintain the security of passengers aboard civilian aircrafts, and

Concerned, for example, that clause (vi) gives pilots of all aircraft an unreasonable amount of power over their flight plan, which for military aviators may undermine the chain of command and give a low-level pilot flying in a combat zone the protected authority to comply with their enemies, since the clause applies to all aircraft instead of just civilian aircraft, and

Distressed at clause (i), which requires all civilian aircraft to be tracked, even those which do not enter the airspace of any member, to be tracked, which proves a needless regulation for aircraft in large pockets of non-members flying locally to be tracked, despite the fact that there is no incentive or reason for this tracking, and

Believing that the requirement for members to establish vehicular fleets to rescue survivors of aircraft crashes outside their borders is admirable, but still harmful to members tight on cash who have to supply their own resources to nearby nations who may not even be fellow members of this Assembly, and

Hoping that any future attempts to regulate civilian aircraft to do so with a more precise scalpel, reducing burden on members while still establishing sensible regulations, therefore

Repeals GA 752 "Civilian Air Compact".

Recognizing the inherently adversarial relationship between police and suspect,

Determining that the immense power imbalance between the state and the individual and the violence of suspect detention as inherently vulnerable to abuse by those tasked with enforcing the law,

The World Assembly hereby,

1. Defines an "officer" as an individual lawfully empowered to enforce the law or investigate violations thereof,

2. Forbids member states or their officers or officers of entities subject to member state jurisdiction from:

   1. Coercing any form of communication from a detained individual,

   2. Punishing or threatening to punish a detained individual for not communicating, or

   3. Putting questions to a detained individual without either that individual's legal counsel present or that individual's explicit and uncoerced consent, or in the case of a detained minor that of their legal guardian, to take questions without counsel present,

3. Forbids member states or their courts or courts of entities subject to member state jurisdiction from:

   1. Admitting evidence or considering evidence that includes communications obtained from an individual in contravention of section 2,

   2. Admitting evidence or considering evidence consisting of polygraph tests, body language tests, or any other means of attempting to discredit verbal communication by means of assessing simultaneous nonverbal communication, or

   3. Requiring a defendant to testify against themselves, or considering refusal to do so as evidence in and of itself.

General Assembly Resolution #746 “Money Markets Funds Protocol” (Category: Regulation; Area of Effect: Consumer Protection) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Asserting that the province of World Assembly legislation is the governance of issues of international importance, including, but not limited to, the establishment of universal rights, the negotiation of competing member nation interests, addressing nation-level decision-making on issues that have international impact, or the promotion of international harmony and peace,

Finding that the target deals with the far more granular issue of money market funds, a specific type of financial instrument that serves as a high-risk alternative to standard banking, a topic which is not only more effectively governed at the national and local level, but which does not align and may even wholly conflict with the economic system in many member nations,

Noting that, despite this, WA nations, acting through resolution-defined authorities, must both enact and make known minimum standards related to this type of financial instrument,

Particularly concerned that the language used to dictate this requirement and in many other areas of the resolution are written in impenetrable jargon that calls into question the understanding of legislators who ratified the resolution, in consideration of the highly specialized knowledge, or at least a large time investment, required to fully understand the ramifications thereof,

Unconvinced that the proviso at the end of the resolution, which leaves to member nations the privilege to decide if money market funds are sold, divests them of the imposed duties described,

Moreover reaffirming that the existence of many member nations for which money market funds are wholly irrelevant advertises the target's lack of international legislative propriety,

The General Assembly hereby repeals GA#746 "Money Markets Funds Protocol."
