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 # 491
Rights of the employed
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Co-authored by Tinhampton
The World Assembly,
Taking note of the numerous national and international laws that recognize a range of rights for workers;
Noting with regret that, despite all the rights that cover the previously cited laws, the workforce is still struggling to assert those rights;
Deeply concerned that this governing body does not have a resolution explicitly stating the rights of workers in their place of employment;
Defines a "worker" as an individual who currently has a contract with an employer which entails carrying out particular tasks for that employer with the expectation of a regular monetary reward, including those individuals who are currently shadowing workers or are working as interns for that employer;
Declares accordingly that this resolution, although not an exhaustive list of the rights possessed by all workers, is intended to ensure that they are aware of the rights they hold by law, as well as any protections from the unjust treatment they may be subjected to;
Further declares accordingly that this resolution shall be applicable to all workers, except for Article E(3), which applies only to workers of lactating species such as humans and cows;
Clarifies that workers in Member States shall enjoy protection from:
dismissal, suspension from work, discrimination, and salary reduction as a result of childbirth or claiming maternity, paternity, and adoption leave ("parental leave");
discrimination on the grounds of gender identity, gender expression or sexual identity, including pay discrimination and unfair dismissal;
being subject to hostile, offensive or intimidating behavior (including sexual harassment, domestic violence, and other unwanted approaches) as a condition of becoming or remaining employed, or otherwise in the course of their employment; and
being retaliated against by their employer for participating in a trial or tribunal regarding discriminatory employment practices;
Further clarifies that each worker in Member States:
shall have the right to claim at least eight weeks of parental leave, during which they must receive their full expected wage from their employer, upon childbirth or adoption of a child below the age of majority;
shall have the right to claim at least four weeks of this parental leave after childbirth or adoption of a child below the age of majority;
who can prove to their employer that they cannot avoid breastfeeding their children in the workplace shall be entitled to:
a private, safe, hygienic and ventilated area in that workplace, separate from any toilets that may exist on-site, which shall be reserved for the sole purpose of breastfeeding; and
a period of the working day set aside for breastfeeding; which shall be equal to one-eighth of their working day, may also be divided into two or three equal periods and must be guaranteed for up to one year after the end of their parental leave;
Encourages employers to promulgate policies on sexual harassment in the workplace, including by establishing fair and effective internal tribunals to deal with complaints thereof.

Security Council Resolution # 311
Commend 9003
A resolution to recognize outstanding contribution by a nation or region.
The Security Council,
Seeing the popularity of art collecting among many nations throughout the smallest and largest regions of the world, yet saddened to see much of this artwork being labeled by critics as "common" and therefore indiscriminately relegated to the junkyards of many nations without further thought or care,
Amazed at the efforts of the curators of the art galleries in 9003 to bring to the limelight otherwise forgotten pieces, proudly displaying more than one hundred thousand of these so-called common artworks, including twenty-two thousand that no longer exist; these may be forgotten entirely without the efforts of 9003,
Praising the efforts of 9003 to distribute and freely allow the use of their personal art finding software to the curators of other art museums the world over, these efforts include:
Creating a suite of tools that assist in the intake and cataloging of recently acquired artworks
Creating the Deal Finder software package, which enables curators to identify artwork that is for sale at below average prices,
Ensuring that the software is used properly by publishing guides for their own software as well as the software of others, and directly assisting those in need of assistance,
Impressed by 9003's maintenance of a report of more than ten thousand satellite states belonging to various art collectors, which enables traders to avoid conflict with otherwise unrecognizable states,
Recognizing 9003's position as Deputy Guildmaster of the North Pacific Cards Guild, a guild meant to promote unity and cooperation among art collectors, where 9003 has utilized their influence to play a significant role in recruiting new members and giving well-deserved recognition to creative artwork collections as part of The Monthly Card Collection Competition,
Respecting 9003's smaller collections, which are designed to bring attention to certain topics, including:
Mathematical Beauties, honoring mathematical concepts,
Nice, a similar collection celebrating a number,
Winter Wonderland: School During a Snow Storm, a particularly creative collection depicting a school environment during a snow storm,
Single Awareness Day, reminding single individuals to love themselves,
Another Worthless Collection, highlighting a temporary technical flaw in the artwork valuation system,
Acknowledging 9003's efforts to promote community among artwork dealers across the world by creating and hosting Olympic Games for art, where art curators from different nations competed in various events to better manage their art galleries, find unique artwork, and to learn to appreciate artwork for traits beyond critical acclaim and high monetary value,
Noting that 9003 generously gave out prizes for these games from their personal art galleries, including some of the most expensive artworks in history of the multiverse, from nations such as Soops, Nervun, and Frisbeeteria; these gifts were unprecedented in their magnitude among the artwork community,
Lauding 9003's impressive military service protecting vulnerable regions in the forces of Mordor, where 9003 rose to the rank of general, this service includes:
Liberating regions under control of enemy forces attempting to destroy regional history, communications, and unity,
Restoring regions formerly destroyed by enemy forces, by restoring regional history, detagging, and preserving important inter-regional connections,
Massive production of nuclear weaponry for defense of billions of citizens under the faction 'It All Goes Karputsk In The End' during the nuclear apocalypse,
Emphasizing 9003's similarly valuable contributions in the North Pacific Army, which involve:
Participating in the destruction of hate-filled regions known for preaching fascist ideals,
Creating a backup index of regional histories in case the current system fails; without this regional history would be freely and easily destroyed by enemy forces,
Developing a safer, more efficient version of a tool known as Breeze, enabling defenders to react quicker to potential threats,
Admiring 9003s authorship of SC303, a commendation for a similarly deserving member of the artwork community,
Concluding that 9003 is an artwork powerhouse that has risen to prominence above hundreds of others for their generosity, positive influence in the community, and openness to new members,
Hereby Commends 9003

General Assembly Resolution # 492
Proper Hygiene For Medical Instruments
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.
The World Assembly,
Noting that certain medical instruments require proper sterilisation in order to prevent the spread of infectious disease,
hereby,
Defines "susceptible medical instrument" (SMI) as an apparatus used in a healthcare setting and with a material potential to carry and spread communicable disease to an individual;
Tasks the Epidemic and Pandemic Alert and Response Center (EPARC) with creating and keeping up-to-date safe and effective standards of
sterilization and disposal of each type of SMI;
determining the amount of reuse each type of SMI may undergo before disposal is needed;
determining the amount of reuse each type SMI may undergo before sterilization is needed;
Requires sterilization, disposal, or both to be done once needed in accordance with EPARC standards whenever SMIs are used in a healthcare setting;
Urges medical practitioners to use their best judgment, informed by EPARC protocols, to prevent the spread of disease via SMIs without specific standards established by EPARC;
Demands all SMIs which do not presently have up-to-date standards established by EPARC to be reported immediately to the committee so that standards can be established or updated in a timely manner; and
Mandates that all individuals working in healthcare with an SMI of any kind be adequately trained to carry out the standards established by EPARC for the kind of SMI which they use and continue to receive training to maintain competency as to the latest standards.

Security Council Resolution # 312
Repeal: “Liberate Iran”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
Security Council Resolution #241 “Liberate Iran” shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
The Security Council,
Recalling the state the region of Iran was in before the passage of SC#241: Liberate Iran, having been passworded and left inactive by Persian Empire operatives;
Thankful that the passage of SC#241 allowed long-time native nation Iramerica to return to its home region, where they had been banished from for up to five years;
Saddened, however, by the many raids Iran has faced over the last two years by The Black Hawks which have hindered attempts at growing a stable community within the region;
Noting that Iramerica has expressed interest in securing the region by means of a refound;
Believing that the imposition of a password on Irans borders is a prerequisite for a safe refound, without outside interference by raider forces;
Hereby repeals SC#241: Liberate Iran.

General Assembly Resolution # 493
Language and Education Rights for Deaf Individuals
A resolution to promote funding and the development of education and the arts.
The World Assembly,
Noting the existence of deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals,
Further noting that these individuals can experience discrimination that are otherwise unknown in a populace of hearing individuals,
Hoping to bring attention to this discrimination, and attempts to relieve it,
And reaffirming that deafness is no more insurmountable than any other natural characteristic which makes an individual unique,
Hereby,
Defines, for the purpose of this resolution:
"deafness" and any linguistic variations thereof as the condition of having partial or total lack of hearing which directly impairs one's ability to communicate using verbal or audial language;
"hearing" as the state of not being deaf;
"non-audial language" as any method of communication capable of demonstrating complex thought and having a distinct grammatical structure that does not use verbal or audial speech, especially using gesticulatory motions;
"community of non-hearing individuals" (CNHI) as any community consisting of deaf individuals and those related to them, with a distinct culture that is centered around the celebration of ones deafness;
"child of a deaf adult" (CODA) as any individual under the age of majority who is hearing, but is under the primary guardianship of one or more deaf adults;
"school for the deaf" as any school, classroom, or other educational facility which specializes in the education of deaf children, especially using a popular local non-audial language;
Establishes the International Institution of Non-Audial or Sign Languages (IINASL) as a subcommittee of the World Assembly Language Society, and tasks the IINASL to:
directly work with national and international CNHIs in order to determine modern and historical non-audial languages and create a database of these languages, which shall note the grammatical and linguistic structure of the language, as well as common local and international vernacular variations that have arisen from them;
create easily accessible resources that can help newly-deaf individuals and educators of the deaf to learn or teach these languages;
Requires one or more school for the deaf to be established in every member-nation, which shall be granted the same supplies and resources of other schools in the nation, with alterations made as needed in order to maximize the effectiveness of the education towards the deaf children, with sufficient capacity to hold all deaf children or CODAs that wish to attend them;
Directs member-nations to supply funding, transportation, and housing for deaf students to attend these schools, as well as their families, should the distance or cost of the schools be overly burdensome on the deaf children or their families;
Forbids member-nations from making these schools for the deaf difficult to access, or to put an undue burden on deaf children who will attend it or their families, so as to prevent attendance to these schools;
Recommends that these schools for the deaf use the IINASL database of non-audial languages as an aid in education;
Exempts nations which have no deaf individuals within their nation, but, should deaf individuals become present in the nation, that these schools are to be established in a timely manner;
Requires that schools for the deaf have a class or period which students may opt into which shall teach deaf students how to speak audial languages;
Forbids nations, schools, or other organizations from requiring deaf students to learn how to speak audial languages, unless explicitly opted in to by the relevant deaf student;
Subject to World Assembly legislation, allows parents of deaf children to decide where their children will go to school, but strongly urges them to consider sending their deaf children to a school for the deaf;
Subject to World Assembly legislation, allows parents of CODAs to determine where their children will go to school, even if they wish for their child to attend a school for the deaf, provided that it does not deprive the CODA of normal lingual development;
Affirms that deafness is not grounds for discrimination, and that deaf individuals are granted the same immunity under national and international laws as hearing individuals;
Clarifying, however, that in a setting of employment, employers may decide that a deaf individual is not suitable for the job at hand, so long as the deafness will provide reasonable threat of physical or psychological harm to either the deaf individual or other people, or where hearing is an absolute necessity for the sake of the job;
Requires national and international announcements and edicts to have either a transcription of the text of the announcement, or a translator present who will translate the text of the announcement into a common locally-known or internationally-known non-audial language.
