Minimum Standard of Living Act

Believing that a minimum standard of living should be granted to all individuals,

The General Assembly:

  1. Defines the “minimum standard of living”, for the purposes of this resolution, as the necessary amount of food and nutrition and adequate access to hygiene, housing, transport, and appropriate utilities and conditions of care which a person needs to live with health and dignity.

  2. Asserts that all member states of this Assembly must provide this minimum standard of living to those living within their territory.

  3. Encourages member states to promote this guarantee via providing incentives, financial or otherwise, to companies which assist in this guarantee.

  4. In the case where a government is unable to provide the minimum standard of living, authorizes the World Assembly Compliance Commission and the Independent Adjudicative Office to determine the culpability of the member nation.

4.1. In the case where a government is unable to provide the minimum standard of living, but is not found to be culpable, the WA Development Foundation may, on that government’s request, work with that government to improve infrastructure in order to provide the minimum standard of living as soon as possible.
