End Statelessness
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Believing that decisive action should be taken to eradicate statelessness across the World Assembly once and for all, the General Assembly hereby:
forbids member states from removing:
the citizenship of any of their citizens who do not hold citizenship in any other nation,
the nationality of any of their nationals who do not hold nationality in any other nation, and
the citizenship or nationality of any of their citizens or nationals, even if they are not covered by Articles a(i) or a(ii), without giving them two weeks' warning and the right to a judicial review of such removal,
requires members to immediately restore:
the citizenship of any person who they have removed the citizenship of and who did not hold citizenship in any other nation immediately afterwards,
the nationality of any person who they have removed the nationality of and who did not hold nationality in any other nation immediately afterwards,
the citizenship or nationality of any person whose citizenship or nationality has been removed in a manner that contradicts Article a(iii),
the citizenship or nationality of any person who has voluntarily rescinded it in order to acquire the citizenship or nationality of any other country, and who became stateless as a result of such rescission, but who ultimately did not succeed in making that acquisition, and
the citizenship or nationality of any person who has voluntarily rescinded it in order to become stateless and hence facilitate their performance of activities that are illegal in the member state they live in,
requires members to grant their nationality to all stateless persons found within their jurisdiction, even if they are not covered by Article b (and encourages members to also grant their citizenship to all stateless persons not already covered by Article b(i) who are found within their jurisdiction),
insists that members not charge any individual for the granting or restoration of their citizenship or nationality when they grant or restore it pursuant to Articles b or c,
forbids members from charging any individual more than the necessary administrative and handling fees where that individual seeks to attain or (where legal) rescind their nationality or citizenship, except where Article d provides that the attainment of such be free of charge, and
clarifies that nothing in this resolution prevents citizens or nationals of a member state from voluntarily rescinding their citizenship or nationality of that member.

Client Money Segregation For Brokers
A resolution to enact uniform standards that protect workers, consumers, and the general public.
The World Assembly (WA),
Noting the protection accorded to bank depositors under GAR 625 through the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF);
Noting that the same treatment is not accorded to money held by clients in their securities broker accounts, and seeking to rectify this deficiency;
The WA hereby enacts as follows:
Definitions.
"Authority" means a government entity designated by a WA state to enforce and interpret this resolution.
"Bank" means, for convenience, banks plus similar institutions such as credit unions.
"Broker" means any entity duly authorized by a WA state to trade financial instruments on behalf of a client.
"Client" means a customer of a broker.
"Client money" means money held or received for a client by a broker as part of the ordinary course of business of that broker, such as the proceeds from a trade in a financial instrument, excluding "encumbered money".
"Encumbered money" means money held in encumbered accounts opened by a client and used as collateral for loans from a broker.
"Own account money" means the capital of the broker, regardless of whether such capital is tiered, such as bonds or common stock.
Segregation of client money.
A broker has fiduciary duty to a client and to client money. This includes mitigating counterparty risk on client money.
Client money must be segregated at all times from own account money.
Commingling client money with own account money shall be a criminal offence in all WA states.
Client account.
A broker must set up at least one bank account to hold client money ("client money account") which is segregated from own account money.
A client money account, even if it is opened in the name of the broker, must be clearly acknowledged by the bank where the account is opened as an account for client money.
The said bank account must be eligible for deposit insurance in accordance with the laws of that WA state or extant WA resolutions.
Money belonging to one client can only be aggregated with money belonging to other clients with the explicit written consent of the said client.
Interest earned on deposits held in a client money account belongs to the client.
Client money can only be held in a bank affiliated to the broker with the explicit written consent of the client.
Aggregation by size.
A client may request, and the broker must arrange, for that client's funds to be held in a bank account under the name of that client, and not be aggregated with money belonging to another client.
This set up must be adopted if it results in increased deposit insurance coverage for the client.
The protection of client money under clause 3 of this resolution still applies to such accounts.
Tripartite access.
Any tripartite agreements concerning client accounts shall be regulated by the authority.
If a broker defaults, all clients shall have the absolute right to directly access the funds held in client accounts without the intervention of the broker.
Any administrators appointed to govern the affairs of a broker in default shall have a duty to facilitate such access.
Direct deposit insurance.
A broker may arrange to directly insure deposits held on its accounts with a deposit insurer in the state, subject to that state's laws, the discretion of the authority (as well as any authority governing deposit insurance schemes), and extant WA resolutions, provided the broker is regulated for such matters as if it is regulated as any other institution insured by the deposit insurer.
The protection of client money under clause 3 of this resolution still applies to such accounts.
Encumbered cash.
Each broker must maintain separate accounts for encumbered money versus client money for the same client.
If a client borrows money from a broker, they must be warned in writing in advance that such funds are not deemed client money and that the client's claim on the money may be subordinated if the broker defaults. Such warnings shall also be repeating on each drawdown.
If a client has excess cash in an encumbered money account not used as collateral, a broker must regularly sweep any money from an encumbered account to a client money account.
Jurisdiction.
Each WA state may designate one or more entities as the authority depending on the governance structure of that state. Terms not defined herein shall be defined by the said authority.
Clause 2(c) (and any penalties for violations) shall be subject to due process and to the legal process of that WA state.

Police Accountability Act
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Concerned that there currently exists no universal standard to regulate the use of force by law enforcement officers on duty in member states,
Recognising that no sapient right can be fully realised without the right to life, which is often infringed upon as a result of the excessive use of force by such officers, and
Believing that the introduction of such a standard will help protect individuals of all backgrounds (including members of vulnerable or historically marginalised groups) from unwarranted police brutality...
The General Assembly hereby:
defines, for the purposes of this resolution:
a "LEO" (law enforcement officer) as a person who is employed by law enforcement in a member state, and is acting in the course of their public-facing law enforcement duties, and
the use of "excessive force" by a LEO against a person as the use by that LEO of significantly more force than is necessary in the situation to restrain and subsequently detain that person, to protect themselves from a physical attack (or threat thereof) by that person, or otherwise in the course of carrying out a routine action such as a body search against that person,
orders all entities that employ LEOs to:
ensure, through education and in practice, that their LEOs do not use force against suspected criminals or any other person when the use of less forceful measures has not been ruled out in the circumstances,
educate their current LEOs, and those who they are training to become LEOs in the future, on when the use of force constitutes excessive force, as well as on when the use of those items described in Article d(i) is appropriate,
further educate their LEOs on de-escalation techniques that comply with WA law and when to use them,
regularly review incidents where the use of force was exercised by LEOs to ensure that such use did not constitute the use of excessive force (although this Article does not require that incidents where a decision has already been made upon review be re-reviewed, nor that incidents which occurred prior to this resolution coming into force be reviewed themselves), and
where an Article b(iv) review uncovers the use of excessive force, appropriately discipline the LEO who used the excessive force and provide suitable support for the victims of that force,
forbids LEOs from using excessive force against any person,
mandates that LEOs:
carry for any law enforcement missions for which armed force is likely to be necessary, or for which they carry any other class of weapon, less-than-lethal items intended to help restrain or detain suspected criminals (such as batons, irritant spray and tasers) to that effect, and
wear body-worn cameras, where available in the member state they work in, while in the course of their public-facing duties (except where doing so would jeopardise an undercover law enforcement operation); those cameras must neither be turned off while they are on such duty nor have any of their recordings deleted unless they have been backed up in a secure third location,
requires that LEOs:
avoid causing death or life-changing injury to any person unless the life or bodily sovereignty of any person (including the LEO in question) is, or likely would be, placed in immediate danger by that person, and
ensure that people they have non-fatally harmed under Article e(i) receive any basic first aid necessary for their survival, where doing so would not cause or otherwise threaten death or life-changing injury to any LEO,
compels member states to criminalise the use of force by LEOs after this resolution has been enacted that contradicts Articles b-e, and to punish any entities that continue to employ LEOs that have wilfully, recklessly or negligently administered force in contradiction of such Articles, and
recommends that entities that employ LEOs ensure that they are accompanied by at least one other LEO when on duty.

Pre-Packaged Food Labels
A resolution to enact uniform standards that protect workers, consumers, and the general public.
The World Assembly (WA),
Noting the frequent trade in pre-packaged food products between WA states;
Believing that consumers would be better informed to make decisions on their own well-being if labels on products from different WA states are reasonably standardized to ease comparison, and contain pertinent information for the consumer;
The WA hereby enacts as follows:
Definitions.
"Authority" means one or more government entities (at the national or sub-national levels) designated by a WA state to be in charge of formulating, enforcing and interpreting the regulations.
"Food" means anything farmed, grown, or developed for consumption by sapient individuals.
"Regulations" means all standards and requirements for templates and labelling for products according to clauses (2) to (4).
"Product" means any pre-packaged food.
Templates.
Each authority is to set forth templates for labels set out in clause 4.
All products imported into, distributed in, or sold in a WA state (say "state A") must carry labels set out in clause 4, providing an accurate profile of the contents of that particular product, using the templates developed by state A's authority for state A.
Customized labels.
All labels are to be customized for the sapient inhabitants of that WA state.
Additional standards shall be set if needed for inhabitants in different stages of their life cycles, such as infants, or if a WA state is inhabited by multiple sapient species.
Each authority may require products made, distributed, or sold in that WA state carry such additional labels as it deems necessary.
All labels must be prominently displayed on (or affixed to) the packaging of the product. If detailed disclosures are required, an electronic link (provided internet service is broadly available in that WA state) displayed on the packaging is acceptable.
Types of labels required.
Additives labels must include all pertinent information on any additives deliberately added to the product, such as for technology, sensory, production, or other reasons.
Allergies labels must include all pertinent information on any ingredients that the authority deems likely to trigger adverse reactions, such as milk and nuts, and whether the facilities that make that product also process ingredients that may trigger such reactions.
Cannibalism labels must warn targeted consumers if the product involves cannibalism, such as products made for humans that include human placenta.
Ingredients labels must include all pertinent information on the main ingredients of that product.
Nutrient labels must provide pertinent analysis of the nutrition of the product tailored for the targeted consumer, such as energy values, proteins, vitamins, fats, and minerals.
Storage labels must provide instructions on proper storage of the product (both before and after opening), taking into account the technological sophistication of the WA state and other local conditions such as weather.
Technology labels must include all pertinent information on any processing technologies used in making the product, such as irradiation, dry salting, or reconstitution.
Warning labels must include all pertinent information on any ingredients that the authority deems to be harmful to the targeted consumer.
Compliance.
Each authority is responsible for enforcing its own regulations in its own jurisdiction, including ensuring that the labels are not materially false or deceptive through such means, such as random tests and verification from time to time, as it deems necessary.
For example, if a WA state (state A) imports its products from another state ("state B"), state As authority is responsible for ensuring that such products comply with the regulations of state A.
The distributors and sellers of products in WA states are jointly and severally liable on ensuring that all products sold or distributed in a WA state are in compliance with that state's regulations.
Database. Each WA state is to:
collate all templates for all labels issued by the authorities in that state in an up-to-date database, including any imports from other states;
ensure that the database is accessible free of charge through convenient means.

Reducing Bycatch
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
The World Assembly,
Pleased with previous resolutions regulating the fishing industry from undue environmental impact, including GA 199 "Sustainable Fishing Act",
Aware, however, of the harmful impact of bycatch on both consumers and marine wildlife, which extends beyond the scope of GA 199, including the seep into areas such as public health and safety, consumer knowledge, and ensuring that nations maintain knowledge of what their fisheries are catching beyond their intended product,
Believing that, because overfishing and bycatch does not stay within any specific border, the World Assembly ought to negate these impacts to the best of its ability,
Hereby,
Defines "bycatch" as the unintentional capture of non-target marine creatures during fishing activities aimed at specific target species, that is not followed by the return of the creature to its ecological habitat intact and without being maimed or killed in the process;
Mandates that each member nation shall perform impartial research on the various species of marine life and marine ecologies within and surrounding their jurisdictions, especially as it relates to rates of bycatch and maximum bycatch permissible without causing negative impacts in the areas of environmental stability, public health, and any other relevant aspects;
Mandates that each member nation shall institute regulations on the maximum allowable bycatch based on the research outlined in clause two, and ensure that no entity within their jurisdiction shall exceed these regulations;
Mandates that packages of processed seafood within member nations have the projected amount of bycatch included in the product as a result of their specific fishing practices and the location in which they fish;
Prohibits member-nations or entities therein from engaging in the import or purchase of seafood or other ocean-based products from nations, corporations, or other entities which have not established or do not enforce scientifically-informed bycatch limits, consistent with the mandates surrounding clauses two, three, and four;
Mandates that nations release national and local data from within its jurisdiction surrounding bycatch and the rates thereof to the World Assembly Science Programe, who shall then make that information public;
Encourages member nations to invest in research into bycatch-prevention devices, gear, and techniques, and to share these technological innovations and information with any member nations which may find a use for them.
