there are already a lot of work being done since the Annan's report of 2002 to re-evaluate Un's processes and strength

i dont think we need a "revolution" or a  Parliamentary Assembly. not yet.

i do agree the new secretary general is kinda stupid.

It's a long term process.
As said, the approach will start this year.

First goal is to achieve a parlamentary assemply as a new body of the UN to strengthen the legitimization through the citicens of every country. This will be realised via Art. 22 of the UN charter. The veto powers will have no chance to stop it, since they will not be able to act a veto.

The long term goal is a parlamentary world assemby and strenghtened international laws as well as human rights represented by worldwide free elections.

Before anyone asks: Yes, I'm a member of the group and I'm involved in the media process.

By the way: Kofi Annan has let us know that our Strategy Paper "Developing International Democracy" is the best he has read on the matter so far. He also signed the petition.

The U.N. can't find their own ass! They have no chance in bringing world democracy. The U.N. is just another corrupt organization filled with incompetent, greedy assholes. To hell with the U.N.!  rant

That's a bit harsh, but the core of what you're saying is the reason for our effort - to create legitimated and effectively working UN, composed of free elected parlamentarians, not a group of people doing everything they are getting told by their governments.

Get the point?

I am for a hard working, trust worthy, and effective U.N.

I just have a hard time of believing it will ever happen.

For those who are interested - here are the core points of our strategy paper:

1. Mankind faces the task of ensuring the survival and well-being of future generations as well as the preservation of the natural foundations of life on Earth. The inclusion of the people into the institutional structure and into the decision-making mechanisms of the international system thereby has essential importance.

2. The populations of the UN member states have to be better and more directly included into the activities of the United Nations and its international organizations. They must be allowed to participate in order to prevent growing discontent, to secure acceptance and legitimacy of the United Nations and international co-operation as well as to strengthen the United Nation?s capacity to act. The Committee for a Democratic UN (KDUN) conceives the establishment of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly (UNPA) as a decisive step towards the introduction of a new quality, a new impetus and a stronger representation of citizens into the international system.

3. A Parliamentary Assembly at the United Nations would not simply be a new institution. As the voice of citizens, taking a global view in the common international interest, the Assembly would be the manifestation and vehicle of a changed consciousness and understanding of international politics. To bring about such a change is of major importance in coping with the existential challenges facing humanity.

4. The UNPA is to be regarded and designed as a parliamentary umbrella and parliamentary focal point of international cooperation. The commissions of the UNPA should regularly include national parliamentarians, who are not members of the UNPA, but are experts belonging to the respective commissions of their national parliaments. Delegations of the UNPA should be directly admitted to international governmental conferences.

5. Addressing the possibilities and concepts for reforming the United Nations and the UN system should be one of the thematic main tasks of the United Nations Parliamentary Assembly. As a unique and institutionalized hinge between parliaments, civil society, the United Nations and governments, the UNPA could become a political catalyst for further development of the international system and of international law.

6. As a first step, the Committee for a Democratic UN recommends the creation of a Parliamentary Assembly at the United Nations as new institution which is established as consultative, semi-autonomous secondary body to the UN General Assembly through a vote of the General Assembly under Article 22 of the UN Charter. Alternatively to that, as far as the Inter-Parliamentary Union is ready and fulfills the preconditions, the Inter-Parliamentary Union could be transformed into a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly in form of a secondary body or alternatively a special organization on the basis of a decision under Article 22 or on the basis of a cooperation agreement on the mutual relations with the United Nations. Both options are open for development.

7. The Parliamentary Assembly at the United Nations should be open to all member states of the United Nations which are provided with a constitutionally embodied parliament.

8. The Committee for a Democratic UN recommends that in the first development stage, the delegates of the Parliamentary Assembly at the United Nations are uniformly elected from the midst of the parliaments of the participating countries.

9. The determination of the number of delegates per country in the UNPA should be left to the political negotiations of the governments during the preparatory process. Basis of the negotiations should be a commitment to a graduation oriented according to population size, corresponding, in principle, to existing parliamentary assemblies. Before entering into the negotiations on the actual distribution it is recommended that an upper limit for the total number of delegates be defined. This number probably lies between 700 and 900.

10. The actual financial need for the first step can only be quantified if it is clear how the UNPA is to be designed, for example composition, voting procedure, participating states and legal basis. A first rough total estimate on the basis of the conclusions of the Committee for a Democratic UN comes to 100 to 120 million Euro per year. This figure is based on the assumption that all UN member states participate which possess a constitutionally elected parliament.

11. According to the example of the European Parliament, the initially only consulting Parliamentary Assembly at the United Nations should, within further stages of development, step by step be provided with genuine rights of information, participation and control.

12. The establishment of a directly elected world parliament with political competences is the most far-reaching concept of global democracy. The Committee for a Democratic UN supports the idea of such a world parliament. Efforts for a democratisation of the international system, however, are inextricably linked with comprehensive questions of human development. The Committee for a Democratic UN explicitly supports the initiative of the Global Marshall Plan for a world-wide eco-social market economy, since it identifies in the surmounting of extreme poverty and of the prosperity gap in the world one of the conditions for a far-reaching democratisation of international relations.

13. Under existing conditions, a world parliament cannot be realized from one day to the other. There is need for realistic and pragmatic alternatives which, however, are open for further development. In order to achieve the vision of a world parliament, a long-term development strategy has to be striven for. Manifestation and vehicle of this strategy is the UNPA.

I refuse to ever allow another nation dictate the terms of my domestic policy.  I'll be damned if some 3rd world country has a say in what is acceptable in America.  I swear to God I will use every resource available to me to make sure the UN and its leaders never have a say in my country.

So I'm a bad guy because I don't want a one world government?  What ever happened to autonomy?  Most of these countries couldn't spell human rights if their lives depended on it.  I don't want my country being controlled by some Fanatical Muslim with Socialist and discriminatory views having any control over my country.  The first thing this World Govt.  would do is outlaw firearms, then depend primarily on the US Military to enforce its laws.  Fuck that and fuck anyone who condones it.  I say again, any resource available to me will be used to prevent this from happening. (this of course assumes it will get real attention and not the remain the fantasy of some idealist with nothing to lose)

No sleuthing is required.  You posted your web address which is public information.  I'm not Flagg, and your lawsuit probably never came to fruition - because it was all bullshit.  Rather than focus on what someone says, you attack them.  Just you exaggerated what Flagg did by calling the topic Mother's Maiden name and Social Security.  Flagg called you your real name, nothing more, nothing less.  Lie and Victimize yourself as much as you want, you seem to be good at it.

I never pursued a lawsuit, never called my lawyer. I have bigger fish to fry then some loser like Flagg.

I guess you have plenty of tinfoil at home. Don't say I never offered to help.
