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.

General Assembly Resolution # 124
Essential Medication Act
A resolution to ban, legalize, or encourage recreational drugs.
THE WORLD ASSEMBLY:
UNDERSTANDS that each nation within this august body has its own individualized laws regarding recreational drug use inside its own borders.
RESPECTS the right of each nation to make such decisions due to the lack of international law on the subject.
REALIZES that some patients receive inadequate and/or substandard medical treatment due to the limitations of pharmacology and legal restrictions within their nation of residence.
BELIEVES that medical professionals should be able to prescribe evidence-based treatments for their patients use when standard courses of therapy prove to be ineffective or insufficient.
DEFINES medically essential drug (MED) as a medication or treatment that is necessary to improve management and/or treatment of a patients medical condition but is specially regulated and/or restricted within a given nation.
REQUIRES, at minimum, that member nations allow their citizens medicinal access and medicinal use of MEDs.
PERMITS member nations to implement any/all of the following restrictions on the medicinal access and use of MEDs within their sovereign borders:
Patients may be required to try evidence-based standard course(s) of therapy for a sufficient duration to allow for adequate symptom control to be obtained. Patient-specific waivers must be available in the event that such trials would result in untenable adverse harm.
Practitioners who prescribe MEDs may be required to obtain a special certification in order to ensure that MEDs are being used solely for medicinal purposes. The certification must have reasonable and attainable standards.
Member nations may require MED dispensaries to institute reasonable security measures to prevent theft and/or unauthorized possession of MEDs.
CLARIFIES that nothing in this text limits a member state's ability to outlaw or legalize recreational use of MEDs or other drugs.

Security Council Resolution # 40
Commend Starblaydia
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Deeply Admiring the healthy competition, spirit, sportspersonship and sense of community that a well-organized sporting event can promote,
Noting with approval Starblaydia's vast sporting successes that at the time of this writing includes five World Cups, six Atlantian Oceania Confederation of Association Football (AOCAF) Cups, two U21 World Cups, five Cherry Cups and the first Quidditch World Cup,
Observing the World Cup Committee a body of nations that manages and organizes the biggest and most prestigious international sporting events in NationStates:
NationStates World Cup (WC),
The Baptism of Fire ,
The Cup of Harmony,
Celebrating the nominee for having at the time of this writing presided the World Cup Committee for fifteen world cups (also serving as the acting president during WC52-54) in an elected position that requires dedication and integrity,
Recognizing that Starblaydia drafted the current Constitution of the World Cup Committee which replaced all previous World Cup Committee rules, standardized the KPB Rankings system as the official international ranking system for sporting, in addition to creating a legal foundation for the (1) various branches of the World Cup Committee, (2) sanctioned events hosted by the World Cup Committee, (3) process to which proposals, repeals and amendments are voted on by the World Cup Committee,
Bearing in mind that the Starblaydi Football Association (SFA) has co-hosted two World Cup tournaments (WC20/40), with the latter being held while the SFA also hosted the corresponding Baptism of Fire and the Cup of Harmony,
Expressing its satisfaction with Starblaydias reestablishment of an Under-21 World Cup tournament that is now referred to as the Di Bradini Cup named after the Starblaydi former football player, manager and president of the World Cup Committee (during WC25-27),
Approving of the nominees demonstrated readiness to share its expertise with fledgling football associations that are considering playing at the international level,
Further Approving of the helpful advice that Starblaydia has provided to competition organizers on how their sports can achieve equivalent success to the World Cup,
Noting that without Starblaydias leadership, dedication, integrity and impartiality, the world would not be as united as it is today with the passions, spirit and sportspersonship of international sport,
Further Noting that the World Assembly sympathizes with these ideals and is honored to commemorate any nominee that devotes so much time and effort to them as Starblaydia has,
Hereby Commends Starblaydia.

General Assembly Resolution # 125
Repeal: “Missing Minors Database”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #120 “Missing Minors Database” (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The General Assembly,
APPLAUDING the intent of Missing Minors Database, and believing in the guaranteed safety of minors,
BUT ACKNOWLEDGING several flaws with the resolution, including that:
1. It does not count as "abduction" cases where abductors, with the purpose of harm, coerce or deceive minors into voluntarily attaching themselves to said abductor;
2. It requires alerts regarding all missing minors be broadcast in "all available media", leaving confusion and differing opinions regarding whether privately-owned media is affected, and it does not allow for limitation of more-frequent alerts to within a certain radius of where the minor was last seen;
3. Further, it requires that "all border crossings [and] transportation hubs" and "all...legal enforcement authorities," everywhere in the nation, be sent an overwhelming mass of notifications about every missing minor in the nation, including runaways;
4. It counts runaway minors as "abducted", ignoring the differences between cases in which a minor is forcibly taken against their will, and cases where a minor chooses to leave of their own volition;
5. It forces nations to expend law enforcement resources towards the locating and apprehension of said runaways, who may not wish to be found and may have good reasons for leaving their family's home, then does not attempt to address the issues behind the runaway's choice to leave the home;
6. It suggests that, upon a minor's return to their family, the case be considered "resolved" and no further action is pledged or required to ensure the minor's and community's continued safety, including possible prosecution of a minor's abductor;
7. It requires needless paperwork in cases in which a parent or guardian wishes to travel across international borders with a minor and without the other parent or guardian, and does not expound requirements in cases where a minor has more than two parents and/or legal guardians;
REALIZING that "Missing Minors Database", despite its laudable intent, is a highly flawed resolution,
The General Assembly hereby repeals "Missing Minors Database".

Security Council Resolution # 41
Liberate Republicans
A resolution to strike down Delegate-imposed barriers to free entry in a region.
The Security Council,
Having considered the following annotations:
Annot.1 § In March 2010, Republicans reportedly had a moderately sized region (6-13 nations) including a delegate. Following the founder's cessation of existence shortly thereafter, Republicans degraded over the course of the year into a region with approximatively two natives residing in it,
Annot.2 § Borrachia moved to Republicans on Nov. 25 2010, as a "sleeper" for the The Greater German Reich, which means Borrachia sat in Republicans to develop regional influence there with the intent of furthering the aims of a foreign force -- in this case, the foreign force was the Greater German Reich. On Nov. 30 2010, Maritime cities, German irish bund, Wasaplol, Tinajeros and Drayerstone, crashed into the region and endorsed Borrachia. Shortly after -- with these endorsements -- Borrachia attained the position of WA Delegate in Republicans. Although at least one defender group strongly suspected this was a raid, the supposed invaders seemed to be benevolent and the natives made "no reply or confused responses" when contacted by the Founderless Region Alliance (FRA) in regards to their new delegate,
Annot.3 § Following a series of debates on Republicans' Regional Message Board (RMB), the natives concluded that the new occupants of the region, Borrachia and its entourage, "must be okay". Nonetheless, Borrachia ejected a few relatively new natives, The freeturf, The hut and house and Hancok from Republicans with little or no explanation as to why this action was neccessary. In response, Freeturf founded Conservadom, which has inadvertently served as a refugee haven for the victims of the Republicans invasion,
Annot.4 § On Dec. 20 2010, Borrachia had accumulated enough regional influence to impose a password on Republicans. Shortly after the imposition of the password, two natives, Ipsens castle and Heleneslandgrant were ejected and banned from Republicans. With a password secured, the Greater German Reich was more open and frank about its intentions for the nominated region. The Greater German Reich declared that Republicans was the Reich's first "Reichskommissariat" (a territorial acquisition) and demanded that the only remaining native not resist the "dominance" and "subjugation" of the Reich over Republicans,
Recognizing that the Greater German Reich's password abets its subjugation and perhaps destruction of Republicans which surely threatens interregional peace and goodwill, and the activity, access and amenities of said region,
Believing the Security Council has a duty to prevent the abuse of the World Assembly's administrative powers by the Greater German Reich,
Hereby Liberates Republicans.
____________________________________________________________________________
Sponsored by the natives of Republicans, including but not limited to TheThanksgiving Turkey, Britarvia and Hancok.
