Repeal: “Rights and Duties of WA States”

General Assembly Resolution #2 “Rights and Duties of WA States” (Category: Political Stability; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
Whilst General Assembly Resolution #2, “Rights and Duties of WA States”, served its purpose in the early days of the World Assembly, making order out of the cooling remains of that colossal fireball that wiped out our predecessor organisation;
The Assembly of Worlds now, however;
Saddened that many of its provisions on war and interactions between nations are illogical at best and actively detrimental to the goals of the World Assembly at worst;
Dismayed by the rather absurd definition of war, which blatantly disregards all plain understanding of actual armed conflict;
Aghast that Article 10 severely limits or eliminates the ability of the WA to protect its own facilities, operations, and personnel;
Concerned that Articles 3 and 6 together provide no definitions of “an unrequested intervention” and “fomenting civil strife” in their mandates;
Further Concerned that all of the aforementioned Articles limit the actions of member states in interactions with all nations, not just the member states that are also bound to follow them;
Hoping for a swift replacement that removes or solves these problems while retaining the important functionality of the other Articles;
Hereby Repeals Rights and Duties of WA States.
