" I would like to offer the CPJ an alternate perspective. I believe the woman is trying to get rich quick using legal scheme. She just want to get money and cheat out othe honest working worker because she can. I dont believe we should be ruling in favor of an individual when there doubt of motivation. I would like to say that if we rule in favor of the women, i believe there should be NO monetary compensation."

Bin Hook, Addressing Committee to Promote Justice.

Bin raises an eyebrow.

"We were not discussing giving monetary compensation. We were discussing requiring stricter safety standards and making companies pay for on-site injuries."

[Varee]

On June 20th, the federal Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Barbara Wilson, and ordered that Smiles, Inc. pay Barbara Wilson 142 million Avalian dollars in reparations and back pay, and a total sum of 2.3 billion Avalian dollars in reparations to all of its employees, giving it 12 months to bring the company up to federal standards or it would be shut down.

I am fine with the case going back to the previous court ruling of bringing the company to standard but requiring no monetary compensation, I just assume Master Riko meant the company needs to compensate for any on the job injury. What I suggest is that the company follow the safety standard and any on job injury, past or future, are the employee failure to work safely. The company shouldnt be responsible when people decide to stick their hand into a machine when they decide that it might get them more money than keeping their hand out of the machine.

Bin Hook, Addressing the Committee to Promote Justice

"Ultimately, I feel we should not make a precedent saying it is always either the companies fault or the employees fault. There are always reasons that the employee, or the company, could be at fault. I believe Sir Riko was saying that they merely pay for the medical bills, no more, no less. That way, employees have little reason to injure themselves on purpose."

[Varee]

"I believe the cost for medical bill can come from the work they miss every time they got "injured" so i still stand with no compensation."

Sir Gustav Hertmann - Tirinia: Addressing the Economic Council

"Assembly Leader Roberts seems unable to grasp the very simple concept that the agencies we're setting up operate according to their own charters, and that by the United Assembly Charter we are free to establish them as we see fit, as long as the do not contradict the Charter. Anyway, since Roberts is using scare tactics to influence the vote of his committee colleague, I ask the CPJ to issue a Legal Opinionregarding the matter at hands. In the meantime, we shall proceed."

"In the absence of a representative for Rutinde, the votes are over."

Code: [Select]

                  Aye Nay
EC-CA-001-P01-R-1: 1   3
EC-CA-001-P01-R-2: 3   1
EC-CA-001-P01-R-3: 2   2
EC-CA-001-P01-R-1 and EC-CA-001-P01-R-3 fails to clear a majority and do not pass. EC-CA-001-P01-R-2 gets a majority and pass. As such, we shall now vote on the final proposal. The voting period will be 24 hours or until a majority is certain. Since I think we can agree that this proposal will pass, I urge Assembly Leader Robert to already convene the General Assembly that this bill may be ratified as soon as possible, as well as to pass the budget this assembly will need to operate.

Final proposal:

Spoiler: EC-CA-001-P01-R-2 (click to show/hide)

Section 1: What is the Emergency Responce Agency (ERA)?

The ERA is a specialized response unit whose members will be drawn from volunteers, the military and international aid charities around the world. Its mission is to coordinate humanitarian activities and rapidly deliver aid to where needed..

Section 2: Training

There will be various types of training involved to allow the members to operate effectively in regions hit by natural disasters. The training will be provided continuously, and refreshed at regular intervals.

Section 3: Supplying the agency

The United Assembly will pay for a small cadre of trained professionals that will coordinate and manage disaster response, as well as deliver aid. Actual aid as well as extra manpower, vehicles and security will be provided by individual United Assembly members.

The basic funding for the Agency will be determined by the General Assembly, in the passing of the budget.

Section 4: Deploying and overseeing the agency

Section 5: When the agency will be deployed

Section  6: How the agency will work on the ground

Upon the agency's deployment, local civic leaders will be allowed involvement in logistical decisions - where the aid goes and how much of it - but it must be made clear to both the agency, the affected nation and these leaders that they are to operate under strict neutrality.

This is an aid agency, not a battalion. They will not involve themselves in any political conflicts, and there must be no discrimination as to who receives the aid. An exception to this will be if there is a particular group that is attacking civilians or non-combatants. Any known affiliates of this group will be denied aid and involvement in decision-making. This may require a larger security force in highly volatile areas in order to avoid conflicts with these groups.

In major cities, large buildings (like a sports stadium) or open areas must be secured in order for the agency to supply the food and medical aid to the populace. In more remote areas it will be necessary to bring the supplies to them, by road or air.

There should be a minimal military or UA police presence to keep the people - both of the agency and those needing the service - and the materials safe.

Section 7: Amending this document

Despite its reservation as to the merit of Robert's proposals, Tirinia vote Aye.

[Varee]

" i dont think we need to hurry with issuing a legal opinion, as the pace of the general meeting. We still have a long long time before making an opinion.

As for the vote for agency , all i got to say is "just get it going" whatever will be better than not having it."

Morh Diban - Ordia
Economic Council

EC-CA-001-P01-R-2 - Aye.

May this first attempt by Assembly to better the world turn out well.

[Ghazkull]

von Heimstaett - Teton
Economic Council

Aye to the proposal

[Varee]

"Also the EC might want to deal with giving the employee some money or something before they start complaining again. Maybe give the delegate some snack allowance so they get less moody and wake upthe other   delegate or maybe find some new one. I am amaze that this system is working so well in almost a month we manage to get only one thing done. Also i dont consider changing the charter and so on and so forth anything more than more bureaucracy side track."


Vin dong leans back on his chair and pulls out a stick of chewing gum and start chewing it.

[Sheb]

Sir Gustav Hertmann - Tirinia: Addressing the Economic Council

And with the Teton vote, EC-CA-001-P01-R-2 passes! All that is needed now is for the General Assembly to ratify it, and then, thanks to Assembly Leader's amendment, to vote funds for the agency in the budget.

Now, we might move on to EC-CA-001-P02-R-0, the UAB proposal. Amendments can be offered during the next 24h, or until everyone declare they do not wish to propose an amendment.

Addressing Delegte Ving Dong

Sadly, allocating money to the staff is not in our power, as the General Assembly votes the budget.

[Varee]

"Well what i really meant is someone should draft one of those formal proposal thingy as i don't want to make one. The best i could is like everyone who work in this building should get free health care and one week paid vacation to anywhere when they retire and maybe free food and home with in the building and free transport from here to the nearest minimart ......"
And Vin Dong start listing all kind of random thing he think the staff should get for working.


"...Maybe a community sport gym and swimming pool and free tv free phone service, free internet and a common computer. They also need more holiday and less work hour and a line to the prime minister. They might also want some comfy object and free cloth that they wear to work. All the member should get paid marriage holiday and pregnant holiday and child education. ....."


And the list go on and on as he list all the crazy policy New Gavalon deems fit for all of it people.

Morh Diban - Ordia
Economic Council

I'd like to take as a base unofficial (I think, it was) Avalia's amendment to EC-CA-001-P02-R-1  that has not been reproposed yet. I do not presume to argue with Assembly Leader about legality of former section 4, but not granting Assembly the power to affect activity of UAB means ignoring powerful economic and political instrument. While it's obvious that Assembly needs not involve itself intricately in bank's business or approve investitions on case by case basis, having the option to promote investitions in certain sectors of world economy or, perhaps, limit them for some countries whose actions go against noble goals of United Assembly would be a helpful tool in our arsenal.

Spoiler: EC-CA-001-P02-R-1-O-1 (click to show/hide)

1) Missions
The United Assembly Bank (hereafter 'UAB') is an Agency tasked with managing the United Assembly funds. The UAB allocates money to the various agencies as per the budget, makes sure the UAB staff is paid and fund projects approved by the Economic Council (See section 3.

2) Reports
Before each budget session, the UAB will prepare and present to the General Assembly a report on the United Assembly's finance.

3) Projects
In order to benefit mankind or earn return on the United Assembly's money, the Economic Council can task the UAB with funding project of special interests. Such project, if they are voted, must be approved by the General Assembly.

3) Recommendations
Economic Council members may give recommendations to UAB. Recommendations are nonspecific requests to increase or diminish investitions in some sector of world economy. In order to be valid, recommendation must be approved by majority of Economic Council. UAB's experts will consider feasibility of following the recommendation and if it is feasible, UAB will strive to follow it using it's own expertise and judgement.

4) Amendment
This charter can be amended by the Economic Council. Any amendment has to be ratified by the General Assembly.

[Sheb]

And with this, we move on to discussing and voting the amendments. I'll set up a 48h time limit for this amendment, so that we have time to discuss it in depth.

[Squeegy]

But they never did.
