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 # 719
Ban on Sexual Abuse of Animals
A resolution to restrict civil freedoms in the interest of moral decency.
Recognising the inherent inability of an animal to meaningfully communicate consent to sexual acts with sapients, making sexual acts with animals amount to sexual assault and thus animal abuse; and
Further noting the demonstrable negative effects of such abuse on animals, which often sustain significant, long-term injuries as a result of sexual abuse;
The World Assembly enacts as follows, subject to relevant past World Assembly legislation still in force.
Every member nation must prohibit the act of a person having sexual intercourse with an animal. Every member nation must also prohibit the act of a person causing any form of physical harm to an animal for the sexual gratification of that, or any other, person.
The term "animal", in Section 1, includes any species with the ability to control its movement and excludes any sapient species as defined by World Assembly or other applicable law. No part of this resolution should be interpreted as inherently addressing sexual acts with dead animals or parts thereof. A member nation may delegate the duty of enforcing Section 1 to its respective administrative or political subdivisions, so long as that Section is enforced throughout the entirety of that member nation's jurisdiction.

General Assembly Resolution # 720
Statistical Data Practice
A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.
The World Assembly (WA),
Noting the frequent need for the WA and WA states to collect statistical data ("data") for analysis and as part of a decision-making process;
Desiring the assurance that such data collection is subject to rigorous professional standards;
The WA hereby enacts as follows:
Definitions.
"Agency" means one (or more) entities in charge of statistical practice (defined below) on behalf of a WA state and/or on behalf of a WA organ, including WA organs conducting statistical practice themselves.
"Practitioner" means any individual involved in statistical practice.
"Statistical practice" means the practice of statistical sciences for and on behalf of an agency, including (but not limited to) survey design, methodology, sampling, survey field work, data collection, analysis, and presentation.
"Survey" means both sampling (such as stratified sampling) as well as a survey of all members of a population (such as a census).
"WA organs" means any of the sub-committees of the WA.
Scope of regulation.
The standards for statistical practice set forth in clauses (3) to (6) apply to any data collected by a WA state and/or WA organs for official statistics purposes; and apply to any data for regulatory approvals by a WA state or WA organ, or for compliance with any WA resolutions.
The WA reserves the right to impose additional rules on statistical practice at its discretion.
This resolution does not regulate how an agency of a WA state is organized, whether it is a public or private body, and whether multiple agencies are employed for different political subdivisions or functions of a WA state.
Establishment of PDAA.
The "Principal Directorate for Administrative Affairs" (PDAA) is hereby established as an organ of the WA.
PDAA is funded by the WA General Fund.
Integrity. Each WA organ and each WA state must ensure that, at all times, all of its agencies and their practitioners must:
remain impartial and independent from political interference;
employ practitioners deemed qualified and competent by that agency;
treat all participants in a survey (whether paid or unpaid) with dignity and respect.
Standards of practitioners. Each WA organ and each WA state must ensure that, at all times, all of its agencies and their practitioners must base their practice on:
scientifically valid methodologies on all matters of statistical practice, including setting all parameters to a survey prior to the start of a survey;
transparent, informed and prudent decision-making;
completing all work to the best of their capabilities and available resources.
Publications. Subject to relevant laws and extant resolutions (such as on matters concerning national security and privacy of personal data):
All WA organs and all WA states are required to ensure that all of their official statistics be made public free-of-charge, and available through convenient physical and/or electronic means.
All such publications must include all underlying methodologies, assumptions, and raw data for verification and re-testing of hypotheses by third parties.
Role. The PDAA is responsible for:
Provide updated best practice guidelines in statistical practice to agencies;
Reviews and inspections from time to time regarding the implementation of statistical practice by agencies;
Conduct additional forensic testing, such as stochasticity testing, if suspicions arise as to the quality of any data submitted and/or published;
Provide accreditation (if required) of practitioners and continuous professional training of practitioners (if required);
Provide up-to-date guidance to WA organs and agencies from WA states on statistics software, such as bleeding edge linear regression and modeling tools.
Delegation.
A WA state may request PDAA to act as its agency on its behalf.
PDAA will only accept such a request if it determines that a WA state (i) lacks a functioning government or (ii) lacks the resources necessary to maintain such infrastructure.

General Assembly Resolution # 721
Education and Availability of Basic Medical Devices
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.
The World Assembly,
Concerned that no resolution to ensure that the provision of basic medical devices outside of medical centers exists,
Finding that the general public can provide critical medical assistance in emergencies before the arrival of first responders when they have access to emergency equipment and proper training,
Seeking to set standards for the availability of basic medical devices and the education of the public on the methods necessary to operate basic medical devices and perform basic life support maneuvers,
Hereby,
1. Defines for the purpose of this resolution:
Basic Medical Devices as:
AED (automated external defibrillator) devices,
First Aid kits as devices equipped with the necessary supplies, not including medication, to:
Preserve life when a medical emergency occurs,
Prevent the worsening of a medical emergency,
Aid the recovery of a victim, and
Instruct a user how to use the equipment;
Opiate overdose prevention kits equipped with tools and medications to:
Preserve life when an opiate overdose emergency occurs,
Prevent the worsening of an opiate overdose emergency,
Aid the recovery of a victim,
Block the effects of opioids, and
Instruct a user how to use the equipment;
Basic life support maneuvers as:
CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), and
Abdominal thrust maneuvers;
Public Spaces as buildings and areas that are:
Utilized for exercise or sport,
Highly trafficked or used spaces that are notably larger than what a typical residential (single-family homes) or small commercial space (small retail shops and restaurants) can accommodate,
Workspaces or schools, and
Any WA and member state government buildings;
Victim as a person who has had a medical emergency that requires the usage of a basic medical device or basic life support maneuvers;
2. Requires that member states place basic medical devices in public spaces;
3. Additionally requires that those basic medical devices are:
Placed in public spaces in a number determined by:
The size of the public space, and
The probability of the devices being used more regularly;
Clearly visible to persons within the space by utilizing:
High visibility material,
Signs, and
Placement at a height that the majority of the population can reach;
Accessible to any person at any time without unnecessary burden,
Equipped with systems that prevent the device from being activated for non-medical scenarios,
Inspected a minimum of once a month for maintenance problems or missing parts, and
Kept clean and sanitized at all times;
4. Mandates that member states prescribe a curriculum for their students, in a manner appropriate to said students' age, with an understanding of the following to the point that students can perform life-saving measures themselves:
How to properly operate basic medical devices and their contents,
The general location of basic medical devices, and
Generally how to perform basic life support maneuvers effectively and safely;
5. Instructs the World Assembly General Fund to assist member states who cannot afford the purchasing, installation within public spaces, and maintenance of basic medical devices through subsidization, which cannot be used by a member state for any purpose other than funding the acquisition, installation, or maintenance of basic medical devices; nor may any member state attempt to circumvent this requirement through the diversion of existing funds that would otherwise be used to acquire, install, or maintain basic medical devices;
6. Tasks the WHA (World Heath Authority) with approving all requests for such subsidization, where on the balance of probabilities, the risk of serious injury and harm to persons would, if not for such subsidization, be more likely than not in the case of a medical emergency; and
7. Additionally tasks the WHA with advising member states with institutionally improving their medical device and pharmaceutical industries, so that nations may be less vulnerable to supply-chain disruptions for critical medical supplies.

Security Council Resolution # 498
Repeal: “Liberate Realm of the Whispering Winds”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Security Council Resolution #411 “Liberate Realm of the Whispering Winds” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The Security Council,
Noting that throughout the vastness of the multiverse, few regions captured the seafaring mindset as elegantly as the pirate crew of the Realm of the Whispering Winds, hereby referred to as the Realm,
Observing that, following the guidance of the incredible captain Halcyon nova, the Realm established a way of life involving rum, treasure, and a penchant for gratifying interactions with fellow pirates,
Saddened by the departure of Halcyon nova from the waters oft traveled by the Realm, ultimately leaving the captains quarters in the hands of Jolx, a beloved deck officer elected to the position by the crew,
Despaired by the stagnation of the Realm, causing rival crews to board the ship, resulting in a forceful seizure of the captains quarters and all priorly obtained plunder,
Gladdened by intervention from foreign naval forces, restoring native crew to the position of captain and taking measures in the form of Security Council Resolution #411, which prevents the permanent dismantling of the ship, thereby preserving the lifestyle for many crew to come,
Cognizant of the continued boardings, even after the native Xvraks ascension to the captaincy, but nonetheless still grateful for Security Council Resolution #411 and the continued helpful responses from foreign navy fleets,
Aware of the order given by Xvraks, stating the necessity of a temporary departure from the high seas in order to repair the ship, rejuvenate the crew, and restock on plenty of rum,
Conscious that Security Council Resolution #411 has served its solemn duty and now stands as the last obstacle before sailing towards better waters,
Hereby repeals Liberate Realm of the Whispering Winds.

General Assembly Resolution # 722
Airline Safety And Comfort Disclosures
A resolution to enact uniform standards that protect workers, consumers, and the general public.
The World Assembly (WA),
Noting that air travel is crucial to many WA states;
Believing that travelers deserve to be fully informed on aircraft safety and comfort to make better decisions, such as whether offers of cheap fares should be weighed against exorbitant charges for toilets;
The WA hereby enacts as follows:
Definitions.
"Aircraft" means any airplane, helicopter, or similar objects defined as such by the International Aero-Space Administration (IASA).
"Airport" means commercial airports, aerodromes, heliports and similar facilities.
"Carrier" means the operator of a regulated flight (defined below). This includes the operator as well as any lessors, charterers, and owners of the aircraft.
"Flag state" means the WA state to which the aircraft is registered.
"WA organs" means any of the committees of the WA.
Scope. Clauses (3) to (7) apply to regulated flights only. Regulated flight is defined as any flight by an aircraft that means all of the following criteria:
It is operated for purely civilian purposes, excluding any humanitarian transport and also excludes any flights travelling under the flag of WA organs;
It is operating a regularly timetabled route that involves embarking or disembarking at an airport under the jurisdiction of a WA state; and
It is operated for profit (or for the benefit of the carrier). This includes flights such as those exchanged using loyalty programs, or such as those transferring employees between work sites, and flights operated by a government (or a government-owned entity) for the benefit of its inhabitants, even if such flights are free-of-charge.
Methods of disclosure. All disclosures under clauses (4) to (7) must be:
specific to each regulated flight and to the particular aircraft used;
up-to-date at all times;
available through convenient physical and electronic means;
available free-of-charge;
available in all languages customarily used in WA states served by that regulated flight.
Non-WA flag states. If a regulated flight plans to travel through international or non-WA airspace, the carrier must also disclose and inform passengers of any major differences, versus the WA state to/from the airport the flight serves, in:
laws where relevant, such as rights to sapient individuals, and penalties for criminal offenses committed in flight;
the customary cultural, religious, and other practices of the flag state;
Terms used and definitions, especially terms which may differ in meaning between states, such as if "in-flight meals" refer to "passengers getting served food" or "passengers getting served as food".
Aircraft safety. Each carrier is to disclose full records regarding:
The type, specifications, and maintenance records of that particular aircraft, including the engines and other key parts used in that aircraft;
The experience and training of all officers serving on that flight, on an anonymous basis;
Compliance with all applicable regulations and directives;
Specifications on fixtures and fittings, such as seat pitch.
Aircraft service and comfort. Each carrier is to disclose full details regarding:
Goods and services provided on board and the prices charged;
Options for in-flight meals, including whether such meals comply with various dietary restrictions, and whether such foods involve ingredients derived from cannibalism;
Boarding, seating and baggage arrangements;
Regular and planned alternative travel routes of the flight, and punctuality records;
Policies for passengers' behavior;
Policies on flight delays, cancellations, overbookings, and forced deplaning of passengers;
Policies for passengers with special needs.
Refunds and rebookings.
If a carrier needs to change the type of aircraft on a regulated flight prior to boarding, or make major changes to the levels of safety and service offered, it must offer a full refund or free rebooking of that portion of the journey to any passengers that do not desire such changes, regardless of whether the passenger paid for the trip.
A carrier must offer reasonable assistance in rebookings and arranging for alternatives, regardless of whether the passenger paid for the trip.
Jurisdiction.
The IASA is to develop model disclosure guidelines for authorities that wish to adopt uniform standards of disclosures.
Each WA state shall designate at least one entity to be responsible for enforcement and interpretation of this resolution, depending on the governance structure of that state.
