General Assembly Resolution

Aerospace Sovereignty Act

A resolution to enact uniform standards that protect workers, consumers, and the general public.

Category: Regulation

Area of Effect: Transportation

Proposed by: Tinhampton

Convinced that national control of aerospace must be balanced with the need to protect, alert and support civilian aircraft, the General Assembly hereby:

1. defines:
   
   "civilian aircraft" as any civilian vehicle which flies primarily through air, due to support from the same, and
   a member state's "aerospace" as that area within the state's territorial borders above which it ceases to be technically possible for any civilian aircraft to fly, as well as any such area which has been delegated to the state by some other state or entity that has the rights to delegate it (but excluding any such area the state which would otherwise possess the aerospace has itself delegated to some other state or entity) ,
2. reserves to each member state (subject to Article c and prior and standing WA law) the ability to determine which civilian aircraft the state permits within its aerospace, what those aircrafts may do while inside it, what training is required of their pilots and flight attendants, and what safety equipment is required within them,
3. clarifies that the World Assembly may, in the future and subject to its prior and standing law, establish standards for communication between civilian aircraft, as well as between civilian aircraft and air traffic control or other ground personnel, and
4. requires that each member:
   
   inform the crew of incoming civilian aircraft about significant dangers (including climatic and artificial) that it may face within its aerospace, including any dangers discovered or arising while the aircraft is in flight,
   
   
   offer as much support as it can to those civilian aircrafts within its aerospace which have encountered significant dangers to its passengers or cargo, or otherwise dangers so severe that they cannot continue to fly as planned, and subsequently express a sincere desire for relevant assistance, and
   
   actively and continually monitor its aerospace for those dangers enumerated in this Article.
