The World Assembly,

[ol][li]The WALDS shall oversee the dissemination of publications such as law books of previously passed resolutions, public notices of newly enacted resolutions and repeals, and commentary of ambassadors and other relevant public figures familiar with World Assembly law,

[quote uid=0 name="The Ministry's Analysis" ]The proposal is designed to improve the dissemination of information relating to World Assembly legislation, and ushers the development of a WA service branch to work with member nations in carrying out that task.

The only mandatory clauses to be followed by members are to make WA resolution texts available (not require forceful dissemination of them) and to not interfere with the Law Dissemination Service's work by deliberately discriminating against its employees.

The remainder of the resolution, specifically clauses 2 and 3 are optional, as their enacting clauses are "Urges" and "Recommends", respectively. Clauses 2 and 3 request that additional emphasis on WA law be entered into the education system and that member states make strident efforts to ensure the widest possible understanding and appreciation of both rights and obligations, among citizens. This to improve compliance among WA nations; but, also to ensure that the public has the ability to govern up, and ensure their nation is meeting its obligations to the Assembly, and the international community. However, as stated before this is technically optional, though highly encouraged.

The Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote for the resolution.[/quote]
 
Against. I'm not huge in NatSov, but there are so many (albeit mild) requirements that member nations are subjected and will influence a nation's ability to decide its own education curriculum, border security, press freedoms, etc.
For. Ghost flipped me.
 
For.
This sort of legislation affords national populations greater access to an understanding of their rights under law, and will prevent unscrupulous nations from suppressing that information. A more informed populace can also hold their governments to greater accountability if they have a clearer understanding of their government's obligations to WA law.

All of these requirements read to me as being consistent with disseminating information they theoretically already have. WA law already constrains WA members so how is this really adding to the burden?
 
Really the only mandatory stuff is make it available (doesn't mean ram it down people's throats) and don't stand in the way of WALDS just because they're WALDS.

For
 
Against.
Setting a precedent of forcing member nations to allow outside agencies (WALDS) into the country, regardless of their intentions, is not something I want to see become more widespread.
 
", subject to any standard border safety measures not related to their status as World Assembly employees,"

Doesn't force you to take them in. Only says you can't turn them away just because of their job.
