The Rejected Realms World Assembly Office

We're introducing a fun new event to learn more about the General Assembly! We have lots of talented authors and legislators, so we believe we can help each other to hone our skills.

With that in mind, we're introducing an event for the Rejected Realms to write its own General Assembly resolution! Anyone can participate, provided they're respectful.

First, we will vote on choosing what to write about. Then we will draft together based off which topic wins. Then we will edit and submit through a nation "TRR WA community" or something to that effect.

Environmental category = best category.

I had an idea about regulating self-driving vehicles' programmed responses to inevitable collisions.

[Aggie]

This is such an interesting concept.

Educational categories are amazing, however, Global Disarmament (repealing GA#10) is also appealing.

[KrebsLovesFiesh]

Inb4 repeal GA#1

[ColdSteel21]

So this whole Pollution and Hazardous Waste control has me thinking. What if we make one close to the current proposal but to reduce general waste and pollution in rivers and estuaries? Maybe put restrictions on dumping trash and sewage release.

I might think of other ideas, but CWA gave me the idea for a ballast water draft in response to my attempt on an issue for it. I think it's a great GA idea.

Can you explain this more. Like a basic why this is an issue and what happens if you don't address it not in issue form. And how do people address this in the real world?

What were some of the reasons the previous proposal failed again?

In the real world, there is an international treaty called the Ballast Water Management Convention . It requires signatory flag states to ensure that ships flagged by them comply with standards and procedures for the management and control of ships' ballast water.
