As Daarwyrth, I have posted this proposal draft on the NS forums, but I'd also like the draft to gather feedback here. So, please feel free to comment!

WA Military Non-Aggression Act
Category: Global Disarmament | Strength: Strong​

---

Let it be known that this honourable assembly of nations firmly believes in the idea that democratic states need not engage in acts of war or conflict against one another, and instead ought to stand together united side by side against hostile external influences and autocratic regimes aiming to undermine and collapse the foundations of democracy and peace; and

To strengthen the bonds of the member nations of this august body, and to further the aim of building an international community whose members work together in peace as allies, and adherents to the principles of democracy;

The World Assembly enacts as follows:

1. A member nation is prohibited from engaging in armed conflict or any other form of military action against another member state, barring any exceptions set forth by the articles of this resolution;
   
   
2. A member state which does not make a good-faith effort to adhere to Clause 1 of this resolution, and which acts in a manner that misuses or abuses such (for example by resigning membership of the WA in order to be able to attack a member, and to subsequently reapply for WA membership to evade retaliation) must be excluded from the non-aggression mandate of Clause 1 as a punitive measure;
   
   
3. Any commitments to defence treaties a member nation might have, that were already public knowledge before any war was started, with non-member states are excluded from the good-faith mandate of Clause 2, unless any such war was started by the non-member in question. Yet, if any armed conflict arises between two or more member states as a result of a defence treaty with a non-member, then that war must be confined to that instance alone, and any extension of the hostilities beyond the confines of that conflict must be treated as a violation of Clause 2;
   
   
4. Any member nation which commits crimes of war or genocide as understood by extant or future WA law, or any member state which remains non-compliant with WA legislation must be excluded from the non-aggression mandate of Clause 1 as a punitive or coercive measure;
   
   
5. Nothing in this resolution prevents a member state from maintaining, expanding, or improving its national military, barring any restrictions set forth by extant or future WA legislation. Similarly, nothing in this resolution prevents a member nation from joining any mutual defence pacts with other members or non-members, barring any restrictions, limitations, or conditions set forth by this resolution, or extant or future WA law.
