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 efficiently 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 the 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.
Acts of war: For the purposes of this resolution, an act of war against a nation shall mean any act involving the wilful use of armed force to prevent that nation from exercising full sovereignty over its jurisdiction. Continued military occupation or blockade, where conducted against the will of the targeted member nation, as well as declaration of war, shall each be considered acts of war.
Aggression: Neither the World Assembly nor any member nation may perform, threaten, or assist any act of war against another member nation, subject only to Section 3.
Any violation of the above clause constitutes a crime of aggression, which shall itself be classed as a heinous crime and a crime against peace. An individual shall be liable for the crime of aggression if that individual utilised a position of leadership to personally determine a member nation's perpetration of a violation of the said clause.
Member nations are urged to also observe this Section in their interactions with non-member nations, as well as to recognise such non-members, as if they were interacting with a member nation.
Exceptions: Regardless of this resolution's other mandates, Section 2 shall not prohibit the provision of assistance to, threatening of, or performance of, the following acts, although this shall not prevent the World Assembly from separately addressing, restricting, or prohibiting the said acts.
Armed action which (i) is taken by a member nation to retaliate or defend against an act of war against that nation, or against any other nation where that act which would violate this resolution if performed against a member nation; (ii) targets only those nations which engaged in the said act of war; (iii) uses no more force than would be proportionate to the severity of the said act of war; and (iv) does not interrupt any period of the de facto absence of substantial armed conflict between the member nations in question; and
Humanitarian intervention, which the polity performing such intervention can conclusively show is (i) essential for the halting of a widespread, ongoing act explicitly or implicitly classified by World Assembly law as a crime against humanity; and (ii) performed in the most limited manner necessary to halt said act.
Dispute arbitration: The Wartime Service for Arbitration is a subcommittee of the International Mediation Foundation, and shall arbitrate disputes vis-à-vis acts of war upon consent from all involved parties, regardless of whether the said parties are member nations. Such arbitration is to occur on internationally neutral territory, and shall have the goal of ending or preventing armed conflict. Further, said arbitration shall be binding if all involved parties are under World Assembly jurisdiction, and have agreed to be legally bound by the arbitration award.
Interpretation: Section headings do not alter the meaning or interpretation of this resolution. Should a provision of this resolution contradict some past World Assembly resolution still in force, that previous resolution takes precedence. The World Assembly reserves the ability to pass further resolutions extending to non-member nations similar protections as the ones granted to member nations in this resolution. No part of this resolution authorises the World Assembly to conduct any military intervention to enforce this resolution.
