How? Oil prospecting is always going to be reserved to those which are technologically capable – that is going to necessarily the case, since one cannot prospect for oil without the ability to do so. And the jurisdictional ownership of petroleum deposits does not change.

You resurrected a post which was last posted on over a year ago.

Well, the IFV is just wrong. There is something that occurs beyond the scope of publication, as required in No Penalty Without Law. It's also the subject of most of section 3.

Happy to be here! The resolution should be at vote at the 28 September minor which will occur in around 45 minutes.

A few things, but first, a note: There are no instances in which the words 'secret treaty' or 'secret treaties' occur in the resolution text outside of section 4. Furthermore, the definition for 'secret treaty' does not apply to the words 'secret treaties' as the definition explicitly excludes...

Hmm... I've changed the wording of the 'point of service costs' clause to be more clear. However, I'm somewhat unclear on exactly how to phrase something regarding safe administration. Currently, I've amended it to read 'given safe administration and evaluation of opportunity costs', which would...

Resolution is currently at vote.

I'd believe that it would be replacement legislation, not a repeal. But semantics aside, I'd be happy to look at Abbey's proposal and also caution that Araraukar may be moving forward with a similar proposal in the near future.

Health: Healthcare. Clause 5 states that the mandatory vaccinations cannot be provided beyond minimal expense to the end-user. Would not this fall into the safe administration requirements in section 1?

I'd be happy to review Abbey's proposal.

A point of clarification. What flaw is it addressing?

Why would it be more efficacious if the enforcement particulars were delegated to member nations? There are no restrictions on further disincentives, naught for the back-pedalling on a disincentive at this level. Personally, I find it mild already – I would say that all services including fire...

Not really, because most supranational organisations in the real world are extremely weak. The UN certainly does not have the authority. But in WA law, the World Assembly has plenary authority. The question is not whether the WA has the power (unless the WA has explicitly stated that it does...

For the word 'section', it should have been substituted the word 'second'. Certainly a typo!

The WA already prohibits torture. It's like resolution 4 or something. And why do you believe that putting words to paper to ban murder and assault will do anything to nations which already do not have such laws? And if nations already have such laws, why do you believe that guaranteeing equal...

How? The resolution is already set in stone. Proposals are immutable after submission.

How so is this true?

Heh, drafting is easy once you get into the hang of it.

Agreed – so much so that I've already written up a repeal on that basis. EDIT 1: Also, the 'drafting', rather debate thread, is here: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?ns=1&f=9&t=419100 EDIT 2: I see, Sil, you've linked my repeal already! :P EDIT 3: I've written a draft IFV in the...

Commonwealth English uses enrolment. The mandate is primarily based off Australia's very similar requirements. The exception regarding section 3 has been expanded in that the services still provided are those services mandated by WA law and essential services (of course, different nations will...

Edits made. I'm going to ignore the unsubstantiated claims made that vaccines cause autism. They don't. However, the provision of certain unsanitary needles or unsterile liquids would be problematic. Edits have been made to include an explicit 'given safe administration thereof' in section 1...

Current working title: Public Health (Vaccinations) Act

At the end of the day, taking things by and large, etc., I have to agree. To borrow a phrase, it seems to be a solution in search of a problem. Barring a Randite or BioShock-based conception of the state, the proposal basically says that, we're gonna ban murder and assault. There's really no...

Europe in June 2017 30 June 2017 The basic Law In April 2017, Europe passed a new law, a Basic Law, to codify the long-unwritten and mostly unclear laws of the region. It organises how the region is run, broadly adopting a Westminster-style constitutional monarchy, with the Founder as the head...

Those rules only have to do with meat, captives, and other goods obtained through hunting. And thus, wouldn't apply to something like, say, wool.

The presence and funding of conservation projects is generally exogenous from market forces. Poaching or other forms of over-harvesting is what this proposal tries to tackle. It doesn't even tackle the most important driver of population decline, habitat destruction. The section 2 provisions...

(Cross-post from Europeia.) Also, a counter-campaign in an attempt to prevent approvals was sent to delegates. This may slow the process to quorum. Over the last three hours, the number of approvals has been static, which could be promising vis-à-vis preventing the proposal from going to vote...
