Editing General Assembly (World Assembly) (section)

==History==
The World Assembly was established in April 2008 as a successor to the [[United Nations]]. Its duties were the same as the body it had replaced - to create, enact, and curate a body of law for its member states. All previous laws enacted by the UN were wiped clear, and the new WA was given the duty of refilling the books of international law. This attracted much criticism at the time, and many delegations resigned in protest. Many of these delegations, however, later rejoined the World Assembly once the period of shock was adjusted to.

In May 2009 further duties were assumed by the World Assembly, and the organisation was officially split into two chambers to accomodate the new powers. The Secretariat did not originally intend to split the World Assembly into two chambers, however there was significant backlash from a majority of delegations to the imposition, without discussion or consideration, of the proposed changes. After negotiations between the Secretariat and the member states, it was decided that the new powers would remain, but a separate chamber would be established to accomodate them.

As the new powers were given to the newly-created Security Council, the original chamber, intact with its original set of mandates and powers, was renamed the General Assembly. It is because of this that the GA is given the same establishment date as the World Assembly itself, whereas the SC is considered only created over a year later.
