Since the rise of the World Assembly from the ashes of its predecessor, the Bureaucracy That Cannot Be Named, WA member nations have worked tirelessly to improve the standard of the world. That, or tried to force other nations to be more like them. But that's just semantics.
Below is every World Assembly resolution ever passed.

General Assembly Resolution # 31
World Health Authority

The World Assembly,
Believing that the nations of not only the World Assembly, but those outside WA jurisdiction should be committed to the health and well-being of their people,
Further believing that good health is a key component in socioeconomic growth, development, and progress,
Deeply concerned by the potential lack of prevention and control of disease or other threats to good health in the respective member states of the World Assembly, as well as the potential lack of coordination between agencies of nations in bringing medical advances and preventative measures to nations of the WA in fighting disease, as well as addressing overall health concerns,
Emphasizing the importance of disseminating crucial information concerning current and emerging threats to global health throughout the international community, to include nations which may not hold membership in the World Assembly,
Resolving to bring decent health standards as well as coordination and preparedness to combat threats to health to as many nations as possible, hereby:
I) Strongly encourages nations to make spending commitments to achieving decent health standards for their people;
II) Further encourages coordination between the existing health agencies of nations in order to promote decent health standards in the international community;
III) Establishes the World Health Authority (WHA), with the mission to:

-coordinate and/or support relief efforts in WA member states in partnership with the appropriate agencies or take responsibility itself should those agencies be unable to respond;
V) Strongly encourages individual nations to:
-create agencies concerned with the health of their people,
-research ways to prevent and remedy threats to decent health,

General Assembly Resolution # 33
Repeal: “Coordinating Relief Aid”
A resolution to repeal previously passed legislation.
General Assembly Resolution #5 “Coordinating Relief Aid” (Category: Social Justice; Strength: Mild) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.
ACKNOWLEDGING that, in principle, such a resolution is an admirable effort to better provide relief aid to areas that need it,
APPLAUDING all non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that focus on providing such humanitarian aid,
NOTING that, although providing relief aid should be a fundamental part of The World Assembly, the coordinating of NGOs is not an effective way to go about it. This is because, naturally, many NGOs would prefer not to affiliate themselves with an organisation such as The World Assembly and shall continue to work independently thus making coordination of relief aid a fruitless task.
SEEKING an opportunity to establish a resolution which would put World Assembly resources to a more effective system of providing humanitarian aid,
AND HOPING that a resolution will, in the future, be put forward to create a World Assembly body that will, while working closely with NGOs in an informal capacity, shall provide its own structure of providing relief aid.
The World Assembly hereby repeals the 'Coordinating Relief Aid' Resolution.
