In the WALL treaty, it requires that for our accession to be approved, it requires the unanimous consent of the current members. I've already sounded out all the Delegates of the current members, Balder, Europeia, the North Pacific, and the International Democratic Union. They are willing to approve should we discontinue our practice of not voting in the Security Council.

This is a discussion about the WALL treaty and that trade-off as a whole.

You can read the draft bill that would ratify and establish our regional interactions with the functions of that treaty here:

A question on Discord:

Will the WA Office have something to do with this WALL treaty?
Yes. And this goes from the realm of what the WA Office currently does all the way to the Office's existence itself. WA Office is currently a department created by the use of executive discretion. It could be un-formed at any time. The draft legislation, linked in the OP, would establish the WA Office in statute, making it a permanent department.

Furthermore, the WALL treaty expects the WA Office and its Secretary to exercise various powers and promote voting on a WA proposal. To fulfil obligations in the quoted sections below of the WALL treaty, § 5(a) of the draft bill simply states: "The WA Office is empowered to undertake any and all of the responsibilities explicitly enumerated in § 2(a-b) of the WALL treaty."

a) The WALL shall collectively exercise all powers and functions available to each signatory's Minister of World Assembly Affairs or equivalent official, and in place of that official, for promoting voting on a World Assembly resolution proposal in a certain manner. These include, but are not limited to: starting a regional off-site poll; producing an analysis and vote recommendation; telegramming World Assembly nations and World Assembly Delegates across Nationstates, and using regional mass-telegramming infrastructure to facilitate these actions; creating and editing NationStates dispatches; lobbying the signatory delegates for rapid votes; and posting on the NationStates World Assembly forums.

b) The WALL shall collectively exercise all powers and functions available to each signatory's Minister of World Assembly Affairs or equivalent official, and in place of that official, for increasing awareness and expertise on World Assembly matters among the regional populace of that signatory. These include, but are not limited to: organizing seminars on subjects related to World Assembly resolutions; telegramming World Assembly nations and using regional mass-telegramming infrastructure to facilitate this action; and peer-reviewing World Assembly resolution proposals prepared by members of the signatories.

c) The WALL shall make decisions to exercise their powers and functions under this Section 2 and about the exact manner in which to do so by majority vote among the Ambassadors, and their decisions shall apply uniformly to all signatories.

d) The WALL may empower individual Ambassadors to effect their decisions within each signatory.​
