The World Assembly,
Applauding prior legislation by this august body to prevent and suppress piracy, terrorism, and other cross-border crimes;
Recognizing that the modern-day economy is increasingly reliant on free routes of access between member nations, involving the movement of individuals, goods, money, and other resources;
Alarmed that such routes of access are vulnerable to violence and other forms of obstruction that have not been addressed by international law, and which pose a grave risk to sapient life and the global economy as a whole;
Believing that, in order to maintain confidence in international trade, the public must be assured of the quality and safety of consumer products,
Hereby enacts the following as international law:
1. None of the prohibitions in this resolution shall apply with respect to any activity performed by members of the armed forces of any nation, or by police, customs, or law enforcement personnel of any nation, in the course of the normal performance of their duties, as permitted or required by national and international law.
2. It shall be unlawful for any person to use actual or threatened violence at any port, airport, spaceport, or other maritime facility in any member nation, or aboard any vessel registered in a member nation, with the intention of obstructing any form of commerce or navigation between member nations, or between two points in a single member nation, or between a member nation and a non-member nation.
3. It shall be unlawful for any officer, rate, or other member of the crew of a vessel registered in any member nation to deliberately wreck or destroy such vessel or any cargo therein, or to resist or countermand lawful orders in furtherance of the aforementioned acts.
4. It shall be unlawful for any person to maliciously destroy, disable, or endanger any railroad, highway, bridge, or road in any member nation with the intention of obstructing any form of commerce or navigation between member nations, or between two points in a single member nation, or between a point in a member nation and a point in a non-member nation.
5. It shall be unlawful for any person to maliciously destroy, tamper with, or sabotage any consumer product in any member nation or aboard any vessel registered in a member nation if such product is shipped in commerce between member nations, or between two points in a single member nation, or between a member nation and a non-member nation; or if such product is delivered for use on any building or ground used by the World Assembly or any committee thereof.
6. It shall be unlawful for any person in a member nation to threaten to commit any act which, if completed, would constitute an offense under this resolution, or to willfully convey false information regarding an attempt to commit an offense under this resolution, if the person making such threat or conveying such false information reasonably believes that such threat or false information will be believed, and intends to obstruct any form of commerce or navigation between member nations, or between two points in a single member nation, or between a member nation and a non-member nation.
7. An offense under section 2, 3, 4, or 5 of this resolution shall be deemed aggravated if such offense results in the death of any person or is committed in reckless disregard of the risk of death, or with the intent to cause death or panic.
8. Offenses under sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of this resolution shall be prosecuted in the nation in which they were committed, but an offense committed in international waters may be prosecuted in any member nation, without regard to whether such nation was affected by the commission or attempted commission of such offense.
9. In this resolution, the term "person" means a human or other sapient being; the term "vessel" means a maritime vessel or a space vehicle; the term "consumer product" means any product intended for purchase or use, regardless of the manner in which such product was grown, mined, or manufactured; and the term "member nation" means a nation which is a member of the World Assembly, and includes any territory, local government, or other place subject to the jurisdiction of any such nation.
