The Security Council,

Unveiling the story of The League (TL), a regional community that has striven through challenge and conflict from its inception as an upstart democratic region that struggled with rogue actors and offshoot competitors, to eventually embody tenacity and adaptability as it rose from the underwood to stand tall as a resolute titan on the interregional stage,

Observing the role of TL’s key domestic institutions, most notably the Consulate, a governing structure adapted to trade purely democratic ideals for a system that unilaterally drove growth and allowed TL to outlive its contemporaries, which established the Domestic Security Bureau, an apparatus that combatted the early deluge of bad actors and eventually transformed into a system protecting TL’s future, the Department of Foreign Affairs, a crucial division that laid the groundwork for TL’s foreign efforts, and what would become the League Defense Forces (LDF),

Remarking on TL’s home world of Terraconserva, the uniting strand that bound together TL’s community from the beginning and through thick and thin, characterized by:

• the fight against vast dictatorships like Creeperopolis and Rakeo, responsible for atrocities like the Susla genocide, via the Alliance of Central Ecrosian States, a democratic counterbalance to the myriad autocratic powers,

• a love for sports, from association and gridiron football to auto racing, with stories from those of the legendary Creeperian La’Remontada to Montcrabe’s three decades of dominance illustrating a sports scene that transcends politics and brings people together, and

• impressive catalogs of these affairs, with thousands of articles documenting the histories of Terraconserva spurred by regional efforts to record history, ensuring that noble feats are celebrated and despotic acts are denounced,

Awed by the resilience and evolution of TL’s domestic community, which took its first steps to modern preeminence in moving from the League of Conservative Nations to its current home of The League, a bold enterprise unlike and more successful than nearly any other in recorded history, with TL’s population spiking past the LCN’s all-time peak in months as the TL's collective drive reinvigorated its recruitment and integration, setting the foundation for TL to become a dynamic power player on the interregional stage,

Acclaiming the evolution and impact of TL’s diplomacy, shaping the course of contemporary history with its:

• swift integration into defending, quickly learning to work with hallmarks of the faction like the Grey Wardens, with whom they initiated the Ampëz–Weisshaupt Compact in celebration of a partnership that subdued raiding in 2021, and the South Pacific, signing the Fellowship of Llamas and Eagles in the first step in a relationship that would cultivate institutions like the Aegis Accords,

• critical role in looping formerly distant partners into defending, including Europeia, whose ascension into defending's upper echelons was assisted their co-signatories on the Treaty of Morya, and Balder, whose historically icy relations with defending thawed following TL's diplomatic outreach and the Treaty of Savotta and Ribe,

• its proactivity in times of crisis, taking damaged relations with partners like the North Pacific and turning them into opportunities for growth, an indicator of TL’s intuition in foreign affairs,

Awed at the LDF, a defender military that has led defending’s most proactive initiatives as a core of its operational strength, crucially:

• acting as pillars of defender operational command, with leaders like Quebecshire, Anjan Kloss (Kivu) and New Makasta being irreplacable in large-scale operation planning for years due to a domestic culture of leadership cultivation,

• carrying record-breaking liberations like Trovons, China, and New Westphalia in one of the most explosive growths of a defender military ever, ensuring success in high stakes operations with the aid of TL's Civilian Militia, which drew from TL's strong WA culture to marshal leading turnout, and

• heading Operation Red October in Solidarity, showcasing some of the finest displays of offensive strategy and the largest anti-raider pile in modern history,

Further amazed by Concord’s transformation from a last resort for fleeing fascists into the only Frontier of its kind in the world, acting not as a colony of TL but an organic extension of the community that has produced vital leaders like Consul Kivu and turned TL into one of the most vibrant spaces in the world, its existence as a mutually functioning society indicative of yet another intrepid innovation in regionbuilding matched by no other,

Certain that the scales of today's world are tipped by TL's actions, a product of years of community-building and dedication to their own tomorrow, an unrelenting drive for victory and survival that serves as a guiding light for all,

Hereby Commends The League.

Recognising the existence of WA General Fund, as one of the oldest resolutions passed by this chamber and which has served as an essential charter of the World Assembly's fiscal affairs, establishing the WA General Fund along with an agency to maintain it in the form of the General Accounting Office;

Cognisant, however, that the spending of the hard-earned resources pooled from member nations in the General Fund inherently requires a level of oversight both to prevent the use of shared funds even when a project can be paid for without such use, and the misuse of funds allocated to particular projects;

Noting that since the creation of the General Fund, many resolutions have allowed member nations to receive monies from the General Fund to conduct various projects, or have them conducted by the World Assembly, resulting in a range of mechanisms specifying when member nations may receive such funds from the two-pronged test of Quality in Health Services, to the approval process of Disaster Precautions and Responses, to the infamous mandates in Supporting and Valuing the Humanities which led to its repeal five months later;

Believing, for these reasons, that it is necessary to establish a standardised mechanism for when World Assembly funding may be granted and how member nations may use these funds, preventing wasteful spending on either side while allowing legislation to focus on the intricacies of its policy than on reiterating the same language as to funding; and

Desiring, therefore, to establish such a mechanism;

The World Assembly hereby enacts as follows.

1. General Fund: Funds from the WA General Fund shall be used to cover all administrative expenses of the World Assembly, as well as projects of the World Assembly mandated by resolution where an alternative source of funding is not prescribed.

   1. Except where mandated otherwise by previously enacted, standing resolutions, the General Fund shall not provide monies for any project in a specific member nation if that member nation can reasonably fund the said project without World Assembly funds or otherwise posing a substantial burden to that member nation's economy or finances.

   2. Neither member nations nor the World Assembly may use monies from the General Fund assigned for a specific project or task for any purpose other than the said project or task. Diversion of existing funds may not be used to circumvent this.

2. Emergency funding: Except as provided for by standing and previously enacted World Assembly law, in the event that the General Fund is insufficient to cover the operations of the World Assembly as per Section 1, the General Accounting Office shall have the authority to divert General Fund monies to projects of materially greater humanitarian, administrative or environmental importance than the projects from which such monies are diverted. Such diversion shall be with the ultimate goal of maximising the ability of the World Assembly to carry out its mandates.

3. Reporting: The General Accounting Office, hereinafter GAO, shall annually publish a report detailing the nature and source of all monies held by the World Assembly, whether or not in the General Fund, the extent and nature of all spending using these funds, all investments made or maintained using World Assembly monies, the extent of member nations' contributions to World Assembly funds, and any other relevant information around the World Assembly's financial status. The GAO may redact information from such reports to the extent compelled by personal privacy or national or operational security.

4. Interpretation: Section headings do not alter the meaning or interpretation of this resolution. Should a provision of this resolution contradict a past World Assembly resolution still in force, that previous resolution takes precedence. Absent clarification otherwise, terms in the singular include the plural thereof and vice versa.

The World Assembly,

Recognizing the usefulness of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), such as poly(tetrafluoroethylene) and derivatives, in producing non-reactive materials,

Encouraging the use of many of these substances in novel renewable energy technologies (e.g., redox flow batteries, proton-exchange membrane fuel cells) given their unique non-reactivity among organic compounds, which provides chemical stability under the harsh conditions required for many said technologies,

Concerned about the significant human and animal health impacts of fluorinated substances, including developmental issues in youth, cancer, hormonal problems, and organ failure,

Excited about the potential for further research in developing chemical recycling and upcycling of fluorinated substances,

Mandates the following:

1. Production of fresh PFAS is prohibited except for explicit use in research, development, and production of renewable energy technologies.

2. Industrial production of PFAS is otherwise limited to recycling and upcycling of previously manufactured PFAS.

3. Industrial PFAS producers shall test for PFAS in ground and surface water in the vicinity of, downstream in the watershed from, and within the grounds of each producing facility no less than once per year.

4. A report of the outcomes of the testing in (3) shall be reported to the member state that facility is located in each year.

5. Production of PFAS in a facility shall be immediately suspended if the testing in (3) is determined to contain any test in which the concentration of PFAS exceeds one part per trillion.

6. No new PFAS production facilities may be built, except to move production away from natural water sources.

7. PFAS waste shall be stored as far away as practicable from natural water sources, and waste disposal and associated contamination costs will be paid for by the final producers of said PFAS waste.

General Assembly Resolution #740 “Timber Production and Sale Oversight” (Category: Environmental; Industry Affected: Logging) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Acknowledging that food supplies are needed to prevent starvation, that reduced supplies of food increase prices for food, thereby harming ordinary people's standards of living while also posing threats to the political stability of member nations,

Accepting the fact that sometimes old growth forests need to be cut down because member nations may need farmland to grow food to feed people,

Dismayed that GA 740 Timber Production And Sale Oversight imposes substantial restrictions on the sale of timber from such farmland, making it difficult for member nations to pay for the equipment and start-up costs associated with setting up those farms (that again are needed so to have land on which to grow food to feed people),

Believing that it is unfair to entrench historic inequalities by rewarding nations that deforested first with huge advantages in arable lands for food production while, at the same time, making it difficult for hungry nations without large amounts of arable land to become self-sufficient,

Troubled by the kind of economic relations which could emerge in such circumstances which would put nations with large populations and little arable land into a forced economic dependence on historically-advantaged food producers, and

Accepting that it is likely that replacement legislation will be brought to mollify the environmental harms without these harms, hereby

Repeals GA 740 Timber Production And Sale Oversight.
