General Assembly Proposals

Co-authored by Tinhampton

The World Assembly,

Taking note of the numerous national and international laws that recognize a range of rights for workers;

Noting with regret that, despite all the rights that cover the previously cited laws, the workforce is still struggling to assert those rights;

Deeply concerned that this governing body does not have a resolution explicitly stating the rights of workers in their place of employment;

1. Defines a "worker" as an individual who currently has a contract with an employer which entails carrying out particular tasks for that employer with the expectation of a regular monetary reward, including those individuals who are currently shadowing workers or are working as interns for that employer;

2. Declares accordingly that this resolution, although not an exhaustive list of the rights possessed by all workers, is intended to ensure that they are aware of the rights they hold by law, as well as any protections from the unjust treatment they may be subjected to;

3. Further declares accordingly that this resolution shall be applicable to all workers, except for Article E(3), which applies only to workers of lactating species such as humans and cows;

4. Clarifies that workers in Member States shall enjoy protection from:

   1. dismissal, suspension from work, discrimination, and salary reduction as a result of childbirth or claiming maternity, paternity, and adoption leave ("parental leave");

   2. discrimination on the grounds of gender identity, gender expression or sexual identity, including pay discrimination and unfair dismissal;

   3. being subject to hostile, offensive or intimidating behavior (including sexual harassment, domestic violence, and other unwanted approaches) as a condition of becoming or remaining employed, or otherwise in the course of their employment; and

   4. being retaliated against by their employer for participating in a trial or tribunal regarding discriminatory employment practices;

5. Further clarifies that each worker in Member States:

   1. shall have the right to claim at least eight weeks of parental leave, during which they must receive their full expected wage from their employer, upon childbirth or adoption of a child below the age of majority;

   2. shall have the right to claim at least four weeks of this parental leave after childbirth or adoption of a child below the age of majority;

   3. who can prove to their employer that they cannot avoid breastfeeding their children in the workplace shall be entitled to:

      1. a private, safe, hygienic and ventilated area in that workplace, separate from any toilets that may exist on-site, which shall be reserved for the sole purpose of breastfeeding; and

      2. a period of the working day set aside for breastfeeding; which shall be equal to one-eighth of their working day, may also be divided into two or three equal periods and must be guaranteed for up to one year after the end of their parental leave;

6. Encourages employers to promulgate policies on sexual harassment in the workplace, including by establishing fair and effective internal tribunals to deal with complaints thereof.

The World Assembly,

Noting that certain medical instruments require proper sterilisation in order to prevent the spread of infectious disease,

hereby,

1. Defines "susceptible medical instrument" (SMI) as an apparatus used in a healthcare setting and with a material potential to carry and spread communicable disease to an individual;

2. Tasks the Epidemic and Pandemic Alert and Response Center (EPARC) with creating and keeping up-to-date safe and effective standards of

   1. sterilization and disposal of each type of SMI;

   2. determining the amount of reuse each type of SMI may undergo before disposal is needed;

   3. determining the amount of reuse each type SMI may undergo before sterilization is needed;

3. Requires sterilization, disposal, or both to be done once needed in accordance with EPARC standards whenever SMIs are used in a healthcare setting;

4. Urges medical practitioners to use their best judgment, informed by EPARC protocols, to prevent the spread of disease via SMIs without specific standards established by EPARC;

5. Demands all SMIs which do not presently have up-to-date standards established by EPARC to be reported immediately to the committee so that standards can be established or updated in a timely manner; and

6. Mandates that all individuals working in healthcare with an SMI of any kind be adequately trained to carry out the standards established by EPARC for the kind of SMI which they use and continue to receive training to maintain competency as to the latest standards.

General Assembly Resolution #490 “Military Identification Tag Act” (Category: International Security; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

The World Assembly,

Admiring the goal of GAR#490, Military Identification Tag Act, in trying to reunite lost soldiers with their families and to reduce the number of unknown soldiers,

Noting, however, that information such as that required by the resolution can be detrimental if it falls into the hands of an enemy belligerent,

Worried that, due to clause three, member-nations may add compromising information such as religion in an effort to ensure proper burial of fallen soldiers, that will make creative forms of torture or disgraceful burial possible if discovered by hostile or intolerant nations, especially if those nations are not members of the World Assembly,

Dismaying the fact that combatants taken as prisoners-of-war cannot destroy their military identification tags to protect themselves from the creative forms of torture that may arise from these tags without violating international law,

Considering the fact that clause eight lacks proper protocols for when a military identification tag is considered decommissioned,

Disheartened by the fact that clause eight further forbids the families and friends of fallen or otherwise retired soldiers from repurposing former tags to whatever they see fit for closure,

And believing that these issues only go to show that no one-size-fits-all legislation can cover the issue of military identification tags for all nations adequately,

Hereby repeals GAR#490, "Military Identification Tag Act."

This is to enact a new law regarding unemployment. These are a set of rights to give employment opportunities to unemployed. Many unemployed are dying day by day. So these are a set of rules of voted "For" will help them-

a) Provide jobs in vacancies for them, give them jobs by making them teachers, pilots etc. Give education to everyone under age of 13 for free.

b) Making them more easily foundable. Giving them the vacancies present in Building construction and to give them a moderate amount of salary.

c)Giving them food at low costs and to give them a shared house with 5 or 6 people for less cost.

d) Give them intelligence training, and make them FBI posts.
