The World Assembly Secretariat, more commonly known as the Secretariat, is the executive and administrative arm of the World Assembly, the voluntary world governing body and geopolitical organisation. The Secretary-General is the nominal head of the Secretariat, however the role has been held in commission since the foundation of the organisation.
The Secretariat as a civil service is responsible for executing the decisions of the General Assembly, whether that is in the name of the GA itself, or through one of the many agencies or committees it has the power to create. The Secretariat staffs all WA agencies and committees, including the Compliance Commission, the body that ensures all member states are in compliance with legislation passed by the body.
The Secretariat is also responsible for keeping order and decorum in both chambers of the World Assembly, as well as for processing requests to both join and leave the international body. The Secretariat also acts as the final arbiters for any disputes over the legality of proposed resolutions; in the General Assembly, they have delegated this task to a sub-committee called the General Assembly Secretariat.
