Ban on Wars of Aggression
Category: Global Disarmament | Strength: Significant
Proposed by: The Ice States | Onsite Topic​

Whereas member nations, having united with each other to form this august institution, should work in harmony together to improve the world;

Whereas the World Assembly should use its influence to protect the security of member nations, allowing them to more spend their finite resources and collaborate to improve the world without having to cope with the threat of armed attack from other member nations; and

Whereas this body's recent repeal of "Rights and Duties of WA States" has opened the doors to greater opportunities to promote peace between the nations of this grand bureaucracy;

Be it resolutely enacted as follows.

1. Aggression.For the purposes of this resolution, an act of aggression against a nation shall mean the wilful armed attack of that nation's sovereign territory, or the use of armed force to prevent that nation from exercising full sovereignty over its jurisdiction, subject to the following exceptions.
   1. This definition shall exclude armed action which does not interrupt any period of de facto peace; and is (i) taken by a nation to retaliate against an armed attack or act of aggression against that nation; or (ii) necessary to comply with a public agreement with another nation requiring such action to retaliate against an armed attack or act of aggression against said nation.
      
      
   2. Humanitarian intervention, which is performed solely to halt a widespread, active violation of World Assembly law on human rights, and where the cessation of said violation is determined by the World Assembly Commission on Human Rights to outweigh any harms caused by such intervention, shall not be considered an act of aggression.
      
      
   3. The provision of assistance, material or otherwise, to an act of aggression against a nation, shall itself be considered an act of aggression against that nation.
   
   
2. Sovereignty. Member nations are hereby prohibited from engaging in armed attack of any another member nation, where such armed attack would constitute an act of aggression as defined in Section 1. No member nation may provide assistance, material or otherwise, to any violation of this Section. Further, the World Assembly shall consider any violation of this Section to be a heinous crime, and a crime against peace.
   
   
3. Arbitration. The Wartime Service for Arbitration (WSA) shall be a subcommittee of the Impartial Mediation Foundation, and shall arbitrate disputes regarding acts of aggression upon consent from all involved parties. Such arbitration is to occur on internationally neutral territory, and shall have the goal of ending, preventing, or preventing escalation of armed conflict.
