They would not need to go through the World Assembly, thus making them the work around.
In the case of humanitarian aid, we want to go to the ICRC, but not necessarily through the ABC. A nation needs to give resources to the ABC, but a NGO does not.
The problem is that the clause *might* include voluntary donations. The intent was simply to allow nations to give more than their fair share to the World Assembly and to allow the WA to distribute the money. They were trying to avoid what the US does to the RL UN.
