What are your opinions on this upcoming General Assembly proposal?

Remember that World Assembly members are free to vote however they want on proposals.

Category: Political Stability
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: Weed


The General Assembly,

Seeing bribery as a major problem plaguing poor or developing nations, where major corporations can reward leaders or people in authority for abandoning their nation's interest,

Realizing the enforcing of laws that attempt to protect natural habitat, public safety, and the common good in these nations can be nearly impossible when powerful corporations with extensive resources seek to violate them,

Knowing that most corporations now attempt to avoid the bad publicity of bribing by hiding the act with middlemen contracted to obtain a certain result in a negotiation, who can pay the bribe out of their own compensation,

Seeking to improve the ability of poorer or developing nations to protect their people and resources through law,

Defining, for the purposes of this resolution, bribery as the act of offering a gift to any public official, officer, agent or employee with the expectation of a specific action or result which the public official will take or cause in the operation of their duties, when that action or result is unethical or illegal,

Clarifying there shall be no difference legally between a person or organization offering a bribe, and contracting a person or entity which engages in bribery, unless the contracting party clearly indicated bribery was not acceptable,

Defining, for the purposes of this resolution, gifts as money, assets, favours, services, future employment, or anything which the receiver considers to have value,

Mandates all member states make the act of bribery an illegal action for a business, citizen, or non-state organization or entity to participate in, with heavy fines for organizations found to be in violation,

Forbids the government or government agents of any member state from participating in bribery for monetary gain, or economic interests,

Declares that the member states shall deem it illegal for an officer or official of the government to accept a bribe,

Strongly urges nations to:
  • demand officers and officials report attempted bribes,

  • create regulations discouraging or ending the practice of businesses compensating negotiators more or only if a certain end is met in a negotiation as the practice can encourage bribery,

  • require disclosure of spending and contracts of major corporations operating within their nation, which may be most likely to participate in bribery within their nation or any other nation, and the investigation of any highly compensated interpreters or negotiators in important negations.

Right now, I am AGAINST this proposal; although, I might change my opinion.

Here is a link to a post on the NationStates forums, which contains my current challenges to this proposal:

Hmmm. This one is to pushy for my taste. I don't like bribery but forcing me to make a law? I'll decide how to solve the problem and create laws to make bribery illegal on my own national level and not on an international level.

I've been considering redrafting anyway, since I think I want to add a word to the definition because I think I let some of my Missouri dialect into the text, and it doesn't quite mean what I think it means. I'll "decide for sure" if I want to remove it from quorum in a couple days.
