Statistical Data Practice
A resolution to restrict political freedoms in the interest of law and order.
The World Assembly (WA),
Noting the frequent need for the WA and WA states to collect statistical data ("data") for analysis and as part of a decision-making process;
Desiring the assurance that such data collection is subject to rigorous professional standards;
The WA hereby enacts as follows:
Definitions.
"Agency" means one (or more) entities in charge of statistical practice (defined below) on behalf of a WA state and/or on behalf of a WA organ, including WA organs conducting statistical practice themselves.
"Practitioner" means any individual involved in statistical practice.
"Statistical practice" means the practice of statistical sciences for and on behalf of an agency, including (but not limited to) survey design, methodology, sampling, survey field work, data collection, analysis, and presentation.
"Survey" means both sampling (such as stratified sampling) as well as a survey of all members of a population (such as a census).
"WA organs" means any of the sub-committees of the WA.
Scope of regulation.
The standards for statistical practice set forth in clauses (3) to (6) apply to any data collected by a WA state and/or WA organs for official statistics purposes; and apply to any data for regulatory approvals by a WA state or WA organ, or for compliance with any WA resolutions.
The WA reserves the right to impose additional rules on statistical practice at its discretion.
This resolution does not regulate how an agency of a WA state is organized, whether it is a public or private body, and whether multiple agencies are employed for different political subdivisions or functions of a WA state.
Establishment of PDAA.
The "Principal Directorate for Administrative Affairs" (PDAA) is hereby established as an organ of the WA.
PDAA is funded by the WA General Fund.
Integrity. Each WA organ and each WA state must ensure that, at all times, all of its agencies and their practitioners must:
remain impartial and independent from political interference;
employ practitioners deemed qualified and competent by that agency;
treat all participants in a survey (whether paid or unpaid) with dignity and respect.
Standards of practitioners. Each WA organ and each WA state must ensure that, at all times, all of its agencies and their practitioners must base their practice on:
scientifically valid methodologies on all matters of statistical practice, including setting all parameters to a survey prior to the start of a survey;
transparent, informed and prudent decision-making;
completing all work to the best of their capabilities and available resources.
Publications. Subject to relevant laws and extant resolutions (such as on matters concerning national security and privacy of personal data):
All WA organs and all WA states are required to ensure that all of their official statistics be made public free-of-charge, and available through convenient physical and/or electronic means.
All such publications must include all underlying methodologies, assumptions, and raw data for verification and re-testing of hypotheses by third parties.
Role. The PDAA is responsible for:
Provide updated best practice guidelines in statistical practice to agencies;
Reviews and inspections from time to time regarding the implementation of statistical practice by agencies;
Conduct additional forensic testing, such as stochasticity testing, if suspicions arise as to the quality of any data submitted and/or published;
Provide accreditation (if required) of practitioners and continuous professional training of practitioners (if required);
Provide up-to-date guidance to WA organs and agencies from WA states on statistics software, such as bleeding edge linear regression and modeling tools.
Delegation.
A WA state may request PDAA to act as its agency on its behalf.
PDAA will only accept such a request if it determines that a WA state (i) lacks a functioning government or (ii) lacks the resources necessary to maintain such infrastructure.

Education and Availability of Basic Medical Devices
A resolution to modify universal standards of healthcare.
The World Assembly,
Concerned that no resolution to ensure that the provision of basic medical devices outside of medical centers exists,
Finding that the general public can provide critical medical assistance in emergencies before the arrival of first responders when they have access to emergency equipment and proper training,
Seeking to set standards for the availability of basic medical devices and the education of the public on the methods necessary to operate basic medical devices and perform basic life support maneuvers,
Hereby,
1. Defines for the purpose of this resolution:
Basic Medical Devices as:
AED (automated external defibrillator) devices,
First Aid kits as devices equipped with the necessary supplies, not including medication, to:
Preserve life when a medical emergency occurs,
Prevent the worsening of a medical emergency,
Aid the recovery of a victim, and
Instruct a user how to use the equipment;
Opiate overdose prevention kits equipped with tools and medications to:
Preserve life when an opiate overdose emergency occurs,
Prevent the worsening of an opiate overdose emergency,
Aid the recovery of a victim,
Block the effects of opioids, and
Instruct a user how to use the equipment;
Basic life support maneuvers as:
CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), and
Abdominal thrust maneuvers;
Public Spaces as buildings and areas that are:
Utilized for exercise or sport,
Highly trafficked or used spaces that are notably larger than what a typical residential (single-family homes) or small commercial space (small retail shops and restaurants) can accommodate,
Workspaces or schools, and
Any WA and member state government buildings;
Victim as a person who has had a medical emergency that requires the usage of a basic medical device or basic life support maneuvers;
2. Requires that member states place basic medical devices in public spaces;
3. Additionally requires that those basic medical devices are:
Placed in public spaces in a number determined by:
The size of the public space, and
The probability of the devices being used more regularly;
Clearly visible to persons within the space by utilizing:
High visibility material,
Signs, and
Placement at a height that the majority of the population can reach;
Accessible to any person at any time without unnecessary burden,
Equipped with systems that prevent the device from being activated for non-medical scenarios,
Inspected a minimum of once a month for maintenance problems or missing parts, and
Kept clean and sanitized at all times;
4. Mandates that member states prescribe a curriculum for their students, in a manner appropriate to said students' age, with an understanding of the following to the point that students can perform life-saving measures themselves:
How to properly operate basic medical devices and their contents,
The general location of basic medical devices, and
Generally how to perform basic life support maneuvers effectively and safely;
5. Instructs the World Assembly General Fund to assist member states who cannot afford the purchasing, installation within public spaces, and maintenance of basic medical devices through subsidization, which cannot be used by a member state for any purpose other than funding the acquisition, installation, or maintenance of basic medical devices; nor may any member state attempt to circumvent this requirement through the diversion of existing funds that would otherwise be used to acquire, install, or maintain basic medical devices;
6. Tasks the WHA (World Heath Authority) with approving all requests for such subsidization, where on the balance of probabilities, the risk of serious injury and harm to persons would, if not for such subsidization, be more likely than not in the case of a medical emergency; and
7. Additionally tasks the WHA with advising member states with institutionally improving their medical device and pharmaceutical industries, so that nations may be less vulnerable to supply-chain disruptions for critical medical supplies.

Airline Safety And Comfort Disclosures
A resolution to enact uniform standards that protect workers, consumers, and the general public.
The World Assembly (WA),
Noting that air travel is crucial to many WA states;
Believing that travelers deserve to be fully informed on aircraft safety and comfort to make better decisions, such as whether offers of cheap fares should be weighed against exorbitant charges for toilets;
The WA hereby enacts as follows:
Definitions.
"Aircraft" means any airplane, helicopter, or similar objects defined as such by the International Aero-Space Administration (IASA).
"Airport" means commercial airports, aerodromes, heliports and similar facilities.
"Carrier" means the operator of a regulated flight (defined below). This includes the operator as well as any lessors, charterers, and owners of the aircraft.
"Flag state" means the WA state to which the aircraft is registered.
"WA organs" means any of the committees of the WA.
Scope. Clauses (3) to (7) apply to regulated flights only. Regulated flight is defined as any flight by an aircraft that means all of the following criteria:
It is operated for purely civilian purposes, excluding any humanitarian transport and also excludes any flights travelling under the flag of WA organs;
It is operating a regularly timetabled route that involves embarking or disembarking at an airport under the jurisdiction of a WA state; and
It is operated for profit (or for the benefit of the carrier). This includes flights such as those exchanged using loyalty programs, or such as those transferring employees between work sites, and flights operated by a government (or a government-owned entity) for the benefit of its inhabitants, even if such flights are free-of-charge.
Methods of disclosure. All disclosures under clauses (4) to (7) must be:
specific to each regulated flight and to the particular aircraft used;
up-to-date at all times;
available through convenient physical and electronic means;
available free-of-charge;
available in all languages customarily used in WA states served by that regulated flight.
Non-WA flag states. If a regulated flight plans to travel through international or non-WA airspace, the carrier must also disclose and inform passengers of any major differences, versus the WA state to/from the airport the flight serves, in:
laws where relevant, such as rights to sapient individuals, and penalties for criminal offenses committed in flight;
the customary cultural, religious, and other practices of the flag state;
Terms used and definitions, especially terms which may differ in meaning between states, such as if "in-flight meals" refer to "passengers getting served food" or "passengers getting served as food".
Aircraft safety. Each carrier is to disclose full records regarding:
The type, specifications, and maintenance records of that particular aircraft, including the engines and other key parts used in that aircraft;
The experience and training of all officers serving on that flight, on an anonymous basis;
Compliance with all applicable regulations and directives;
Specifications on fixtures and fittings, such as seat pitch.
Aircraft service and comfort. Each carrier is to disclose full details regarding:
Goods and services provided on board and the prices charged;
Options for in-flight meals, including whether such meals comply with various dietary restrictions, and whether such foods involve ingredients derived from cannibalism;
Boarding, seating and baggage arrangements;
Regular and planned alternative travel routes of the flight, and punctuality records;
Policies for passengers' behavior;
Policies on flight delays, cancellations, overbookings, and forced deplaning of passengers;
Policies for passengers with special needs.
Refunds and rebookings.
If a carrier needs to change the type of aircraft on a regulated flight prior to boarding, or make major changes to the levels of safety and service offered, it must offer a full refund or free rebooking of that portion of the journey to any passengers that do not desire such changes, regardless of whether the passenger paid for the trip.
A carrier must offer reasonable assistance in rebookings and arranging for alternatives, regardless of whether the passenger paid for the trip.
Jurisdiction.
The IASA is to develop model disclosure guidelines for authorities that wish to adopt uniform standards of disclosures.
Each WA state shall designate at least one entity to be responsible for enforcement and interpretation of this resolution, depending on the governance structure of that state.

End Statelessness
A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.
Believing that decisive action should be taken to eradicate statelessness across the World Assembly once and for all, the General Assembly hereby:
forbids member states from removing:
the citizenship of any of their citizens who do not hold citizenship in any other nation,
the nationality of any of their nationals who do not hold nationality in any other nation, and
the citizenship or nationality of any of their citizens or nationals, even if they are not covered by Articles a(i) or a(ii), without giving them two weeks' warning and the right to a judicial review of such removal,
requires members to immediately restore:
the citizenship of any person who they have removed the citizenship of and who did not hold citizenship in any other nation immediately afterwards,
the nationality of any person who they have removed the nationality of and who did not hold nationality in any other nation immediately afterwards,
the citizenship or nationality of any person whose citizenship or nationality has been removed in a manner that contradicts Article a(iii),
the citizenship or nationality of any person who has voluntarily rescinded it in order to acquire the citizenship or nationality of any other country, and who became stateless as a result of such rescission, but who ultimately did not succeed in making that acquisition, and
the citizenship or nationality of any person who has voluntarily rescinded it in order to become stateless and hence facilitate their performance of activities that are illegal in the member state they live in,
requires members to grant their nationality to all stateless persons found within their jurisdiction, even if they are not covered by Article b (and encourages members to also grant their citizenship to all stateless persons not already covered by Article b(i) who are found within their jurisdiction),
insists that members not charge any individual for the granting or restoration of their citizenship or nationality when they grant or restore it pursuant to Articles b or c,
forbids members from charging any individual more than the necessary administrative and handling fees where that individual seeks to attain or (where legal) rescind their nationality or citizenship, except where Article d provides that the attainment of such be free of charge, and
clarifies that nothing in this resolution prevents citizens or nationals of a member state from voluntarily rescinding their citizenship or nationality of that member.

Client Money Segregation For Brokers
A resolution to enact uniform standards that protect workers, consumers, and the general public.
The World Assembly (WA),
Noting the protection accorded to bank depositors under GAR 625 through the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF);
Noting that the same treatment is not accorded to money held by clients in their securities broker accounts, and seeking to rectify this deficiency;
The WA hereby enacts as follows:
Definitions.
"Authority" means a government entity designated by a WA state to enforce and interpret this resolution.
"Bank" means, for convenience, banks plus similar institutions such as credit unions.
"Broker" means any entity duly authorized by a WA state to trade financial instruments on behalf of a client.
"Client" means a customer of a broker.
"Client money" means money held or received for a client by a broker as part of the ordinary course of business of that broker, such as the proceeds from a trade in a financial instrument, excluding "encumbered money".
"Encumbered money" means money held in encumbered accounts opened by a client and used as collateral for loans from a broker.
"Own account money" means the capital of the broker, regardless of whether such capital is tiered, such as bonds or common stock.
Segregation of client money.
A broker has fiduciary duty to a client and to client money. This includes mitigating counterparty risk on client money.
Client money must be segregated at all times from own account money.
Commingling client money with own account money shall be a criminal offence in all WA states.
Client account.
A broker must set up at least one bank account to hold client money ("client money account") which is segregated from own account money.
A client money account, even if it is opened in the name of the broker, must be clearly acknowledged by the bank where the account is opened as an account for client money.
The said bank account must be eligible for deposit insurance in accordance with the laws of that WA state or extant WA resolutions.
Money belonging to one client can only be aggregated with money belonging to other clients with the explicit written consent of the said client.
Interest earned on deposits held in a client money account belongs to the client.
Client money can only be held in a bank affiliated to the broker with the explicit written consent of the client.
Aggregation by size.
A client may request, and the broker must arrange, for that client's funds to be held in a bank account under the name of that client, and not be aggregated with money belonging to another client.
This set up must be adopted if it results in increased deposit insurance coverage for the client.
The protection of client money under clause 3 of this resolution still applies to such accounts.
Tripartite access.
Any tripartite agreements concerning client accounts shall be regulated by the authority.
If a broker defaults, all clients shall have the absolute right to directly access the funds held in client accounts without the intervention of the broker.
Any administrators appointed to govern the affairs of a broker in default shall have a duty to facilitate such access.
Direct deposit insurance.
A broker may arrange to directly insure deposits held on its accounts with a deposit insurer in the state, subject to that state's laws, the discretion of the authority (as well as any authority governing deposit insurance schemes), and extant WA resolutions, provided the broker is regulated for such matters as if it is regulated as any other institution insured by the deposit insurer.
The protection of client money under clause 3 of this resolution still applies to such accounts.
Encumbered cash.
Each broker must maintain separate accounts for encumbered money versus client money for the same client.
If a client borrows money from a broker, they must be warned in writing in advance that such funds are not deemed client money and that the client's claim on the money may be subordinated if the broker defaults. Such warnings shall also be repeating on each drawdown.
If a client has excess cash in an encumbered money account not used as collateral, a broker must regularly sweep any money from an encumbered account to a client money account.
Jurisdiction.
Each WA state may designate one or more entities as the authority depending on the governance structure of that state. Terms not defined herein shall be defined by the said authority.
Clause 2(c) (and any penalties for violations) shall be subject to due process and to the legal process of that WA state.
