The World Assembly (WA),
Acknowledging the importance of international cooperation and tolerance;
Commending the efforts of international diplomatic organisations such as the WA for their promotion of international goodwill;
Stressing the need for assurances of safety and security for the furtherance of these activities;
Understanding that this assembly has previously mandated the security of WA facilities but has not laid out specifications for how these services should be sourced and maintained;
Believing that such arrangements should be managed by an authority directly accountable to the WA;
The WA hereby enacts as follows:
- Definitions and declarations.
- “OSS” means the WA Office for Security and Safety (OSS), which is hereby established as a committee of the WA.
- “Officer” means any individual employed by the OSS whose role is related to providing security, but is not a member of the OSS.
- “Personnel” means any individual whose role involves the use of WA facilities but is not an OSS Officer.
- Staffing.
- OSS Officers are required to maintain residence in the immediate area surrounding the applicable WA facility, such that they are able to respond to changing security circumstances without significant delay.
- OSS Officers must be of suitable physical and psychological competence and will be subject to routine assessments to ensure their continued compliance.
- OSS is responsible for setting any further recruitment standards and selecting Officers.
- Officer duties.
- OSS Officers will maintain a presence at all WA facilities, as required by each facility's size, population, and risk of terrorist activity.
- OSS Officers have the authority to remove any person from a WA facility by force should they present an imminent risk to personnel safety.
- OSS Officers have the authority to detain any person in a WA facility should they commit an offence under local law and refer that individual to local law enforcement.
- OSS Officers have the authority to neutralise or terminate any person in a WA facility who purposefully poses a risk to life.
- OSS Officers will screen all entrants into a WA facility for and dispose of items that put personnel's safety at risk.
- Building compliance.
- OSS will ensure that all WA facilities are equipped with suitable security systems as it determines to be necessary, which include but are not limited to CCTV, X-ray screening and anti-terrorism structures.
- OSS will complete an annual inspection of all WA facilities to determine their compliance with security standards and highlight any risks to personnel safety.
- Should the OSS conclude that personnel safety cannot be ensured, it may require the temporary closure of any WA facility to make necessary improvements to its security.
- Emergencies.
- Should the OSS receive intelligence from local authorities or its Officers of an imminent risk to life in a WA facility, it may establish a state of emergency.
- In a state of emergency at a WA facility:
- No entrance is permitted, excepting local law enforcement and OSS Officers,
- Personnel will be evacuated unless otherwise unfeasible or dangerous,
- The OSS may take all necessary steps to avert the emergency and are granted access to all areas in this capacity.
- Finance. OSS is to be paid for by the General Fund.
- Jurisdiction.
- WA member states are required to respect the authority of the OSS over security services at WA facilities.
- Where a facility under the WA’s jurisdiction is concerned, arrangements will be made with the host nation for the application of local law.
- Local law enforcement may be invited into WA facilities to recover individuals in breach of local law pursuant to clause 7 subclause B.
- OSS is responsible for the interpretation of this resolution.
