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 # 512
Commercial Arbitration Recognition
A resolution to reduce barriers to free trade and commerce.
The World Assembly,
Realizing that the member nations of this Assembly are significantly outnumbered by their external counterparts,
Believing it the responsibility of this august body to further the prosperity of the nations under its aegis and confer substantial benefits upon its membership,
Recognizing the importance of strengthening international commerce in achieving the above,
Highlighting the effectiveness of alternate dispute resolution, particularly through arbitration, in furthering international commerce by ensuring that any disputes arising from international commercial agreements can be efficiently resolved in in a forum that confers neutrality, finality of judgement, confidentiality, and procedural flexibility, all of which hinge upon the enforceability of resultant judgments, and
Wishing to provide a framework for the international recognition and enforcement of judgement arising from arbitration of international commercial disputes, thereby promoting free trade and commerce, hereby:
Defines:
"arbitration" as the deciding of a legal dispute in a forum outside of a member nation's judiciary or international court of law;
an "arbitral award" as a judgement on the merits of an arbitration by an arbitration tribunal, including judgments made by arbitrators appointed for a particular case as well as judgments made by a permanent arbitral body; and
an "arbitration agreement" as any agreement providing for arbitration of a dispute;
Declares:
all member nations must recognize arbitration agreements within their legal jurisdiction; and
all member nations must recognize arbitral awards as binding, and enforce them to the extent required by the arbitral award;
Clarifies that member nations may not impose unnecessarily onerous conditions on the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards within their legal jurisdiction;
Further clarifies that member nations may refuse to recognize or enforce an arbitral award if any of the following conditions are met:
the arbitral award or the arbitration agreement preceding it are invalid under said award or agreement's governing law;
the party against whom the award is invoked was given insufficient notice of the arbitration proceedings, or was otherwise unable to present its case;
the arbitral award concerns matters beyond the scope of the arbitration agreement;
the procedure of the arbitration was not in accordance with the arbitration agreement or its governing law;
the arbitral award has not yet become binding on the involved parties; or
the subject matter of the arbitral award cannot be resolved through arbitration;
Asserts that nothing in this resolution shall be construed to limit the ability of individuals, nations, and organizations to enter into an arbitration agreement;
Clarifies that this resolution shall only apply to arbitration agreements, arbitration, and arbitral awards arising from international commercial agreements between two firms, a firm and a government, or two governments, or similar agreements of an international character between two firms, a firm and a government, or two governments; and
Further clarifies that nothing in this resolution applies to arbitration, arbitration agreements, or arbitral awards issued by or under the jurisdiction of a non-member nation.

Security Council Resolution # 325
Liberate Syria
A resolution to strike down Delegate-imposed barriers to free entry in a region.
The Security Council,
Honoring the age-old tradition of using a Security Council Liberation to save innocent regions from occupation and destruction through this proposal;
Noting that in this instance, as stated above, an innocent region is under threat of destruction after being passworded by a nation created for the sole purpose of violating the sovereignty of the regional community;
Believing that the region of Hydra Main Command, believed to be run by none other than Alpha wolf through their puppet state Hydra wolf, should not be allowed to claim Syria as a trophy through the use of their puppet state Airport manager services, taking away the sovereignty of the remaining native community;
Hoping that through the act of this liberation the defender forces from multiple defender aligned regions will be able to free Syria from its current oppressors, and return the region to its current or a possibly future native community;
Hereby liberates the region of Syria.

Security Council Resolution # 326
Condemn Ever-Wandering Souls
A resolution to express shock and dismay at a nation or region.
The Security Council;
Recalling that Ever-Wandering Souls (Also referred to as Souls) entered into the scene of regional warfare in the beginning of 2014, succumbing to the allure of glory and third-way virtue that was promised during the founding of The Eternal Knights.
Lamenting that, though The Eternal Knights were a shambles of strategic blunders, Souls' monumental work in recruitment, training, and foreign relations was surely all that held the organisation together. Such efforts delayed The Eternal Knights' demise beyond all of the Security Council's hopes.
Distressed by Souls' leadership over the Sicarius assassins as a member of the Dominus Sicarii, overseeing the attacks on over two hundred thirty regions, orchestrated without the aid of advanced technological resources, yet with no discernible handicap in frequency or ferocity. Included among the attacks:
The malicious interception of Tofuline's refounding, thereby displacing over one hundred eighty nations from their chosen homeland,
Military support of The Black Hawks's invasion of Canada, which ended that government's two-year reign while razing embassies with some of the greatest powers known at the time, and
The invasion of Islam, where Westerly winds, under the control of Souls, infiltrated and seized the delegacy, ejecting nations over the span of a month from which the region never recovered.
Loathing Souls' migration to The Black Hawks in November of 2014, thereafter rapidly ascending its ranks to become a full member of their notorious leadership, The Council of Hawks, by July of the following year.
Noting that The Black Hawks, already once condemned, suffered an incredible second condemnation under Souls' leadership in March of 2017, three months after having been raised to the rank of General. As such a rank signifies the embodiment of The Black Hawks' ideals, may it be presumed that such ideals are portrayed by Souls' reprehensible history spearheading their conquests.
The North American Union, brutally attacked solely for its association to past defenders,
The Nations of Intelligence, assaulted for its acronym's unfortunate ability to suggest an entirely different organisation,
Global Federation, invaded to upend the homes of some of the world's most prominent writers and spokespeople at the time, and
The United Federation of Planets, clearly designed to demoralise the world's peacekeeping forces through that operation's success, despite its overt and conspicuous tactics.
Iterating that The Black Riders, who twice achieved censure in this chamber for their acts of ultraviolence, became exposed to counterattack when the Black riders commander was disassociated from known reality in early 2015. Although a coalition of disenfranchised natives captured and attempted to reform the region into a peaceful society, such attempts were ultimately undone by Souls' employment of Harenhime, which infiltrated the new government and sabotaged its designs, recapturing the region for raider causes once again, and denying The Black Riders any chance at salvation.
Anguished by the destruction of Heroes Rise, a consequential member of the military alliance ORCA, reduced to an empty wasteland in 2016 by Souls' command over The Black Hawks' own coalition, consisting of eighteen armies across seven realms. ORCA was forever stained by this invasion, as it demonstrated it was unable to protect its own members, leading to its disintegration entirely.
Decrying that in the ruthless pursuit of regional destruction, Souls has purged other lands of their native inhabitants on a scale that far exceeds the intervention capabilities of the Security Council. The arrogance of this nation's government extends even to its long tradition of concocting battlefield reports of such atrocities in blisteringly theatrical styles, as if to captivate victims with the fanciful tales of their own demise.
However disavowing that Souls made a mockery of this esteemed body in March of 2018, as its control over Harenhime drove that nation to try confusing World Assembly members with a circular-logic based condemnation. Even then, that resolution was merely meant to serve as distraction, while Harenhime brutally decimated the native peoples of Iran.
Resolving that so long as Souls operates with impunity, the natives of the world cannot know peace within their own homes, for the actions taken by this nation have left a trail of deceit and destruction, well beyond that which could ever be redeemed.
Hereby condemns Ever-Wandering Souls.

General Assembly Resolution # 513
Sovereign Justice Accord
A resolution to enact uniform standards that protect workers, consumers, and the general public.
Whereas it is destabilising to the international system to permit suits against a member nation in the courts of another member nation, as this would
allow for member nations to engage in abusive suits against other and
imply that one nation is in a position of supremacy to the nation being sued:
And whereas sovereigns have incentives to avoid being held to justice in the status quo:
And whereas GAR 466 World Assembly Justice Accord creates a cohesive and robust means to try cases submitted to it and provides clear and effective measures to review decisions made therein:
Be it enacted by this august World Assembly as follows:
In this resolution,
use of the singular includes the plural and vice versa,
legal persons means legal persons under the jurisdiction of the World Assembly and/or its members,
WAJC refers to the World Assembly Judiciary Committee,
member means member nation,
resolution means General Assembly resolution,
IAO refers to the Independent Adjudicative Office, and
WAJC courts refers to the courts established by the WAJC under section 2 of this resolution.
WAJC shall appoint judges to trial and appellate courts, which will hear cases in panels of one and three judges respectively.
No foreign affected legal person may initiate civil judicial proceedings against a member or its subdivisions, without the consent of that member or subdivision, except in WAJCs trial courts and under procedures that may be established by resolution.
WAJC courts shall apply WA law and all other laws applicable within the relevant jurisdiction(s). Members must provide the WAJC with official translations of their laws in the WAJCs working language.
WAJC must make regulations to govern the processes by which people can initiate judicial proceedings in a way that ensures that grievances can be processed and adjudicated fairly for all parties with respect to civil and criminal actions.
If it can be shown to the IAO that those regulations are insufficient in fulfilling the mandates of this section, the IAO may alter or abolish them.
Parties in cases before WAJC courts may retain counsel for their own representation.
Affected legal persons-
may appeal against judgements of WAJCs trial courts to its appellate courts and
must cooperate fully with any orders and judgements issued by WAJCs courts within a reasonable time frame, as set by the courts.
WAJCs courts may require a member to pay compensatory and non-compensatory damages as part of a judgement against that nation.
No judge serving in a WAJC court may hear cases involving a member that they are or have been a citizen of, or where they have or have had permanent residence. WAJC may, upon acceptance of a case, dispatch court officials to a locale more convenient for proceedings. Members must permit the entrance and exit of such court officials.
All members must submit evidence requested by a WAJC court which it believes is sufficiently important. The courts of WAJC should, in deciding whether to request evidence from a member, weigh the interests of the member against the necessity of requesting the evidence.
Members are to be permitted to file emergency motions against the production of classified documents with an appellate court of WAJC, who will have final judgement on the matter. The appellate courts may dismiss any motions that are prima facie frivolous or meant to disrupt proceedings.
If a member is required to produce classified documents, WAJCs courts will take appropriate measures to prevent the disclosure of said documents to the general public.

General Assembly Resolution # 514
Ending School Segregation
A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.
Whereas the exclusion of minority students from education with the majority population in separate educational facilities creates an inherently unequal quality of education by neglecting the student's ability to discuss and exchange views with other students:
And whereas racial and class motivated biases, along with the costs of private education, produce self-segregation that negatively affects students' ability to engage with society writ large:
And whereas the only way to prevent this self-segregation is for the state to promote values of pluralism and tolerance in the realm of schooling:
And whereas, if the Assembly is to ensure minority students' inclusion in schools, safeguards are required to prevent staff from treating those students poorly and to protect such students from being harassed:
Now therefore, be it enacted by this august World Assembly as follows:
Rights of the child. Children have a right, by education, to develop competence to interact in a pluralistic society. Unless a child is physically unfit to attend a school or an undue hardship is imposed on the child by this requirement, member states must to the best of their ability advance this goal through schooling; to that end, among other things, they shall prohibit segregation and self-segregation of students by parental income, race, religion, or other protected classes.
Ensuring school quality. Member nations shall ensure that educational services not under their direct control meet or exceed the same standards as those under their direct control on the following criteria: educational goals, facilities, instructors' training, and other standards that member nations may by law or resolution create. Member nations may not use accreditation in a way that encourages segregation by classes in section 1.
School authorities' duty to parents. Parents may, with the advice and consent of an administrative law (or other suitably empowered) officer, require school authorities to take action to prevent their children from being poorly treated by other children or staff on account of background, beliefs, and other rights protected by World Assembly legislation.
Clarification. In this resolution,
resolution refers to World Assembly resolutions and
parent includes guardians.
