A World Parliament Through Civil Society and International Treaty
Resolution: A World Parliament Through Civil Society and International Treaty
We call for civil society to initiate worldwide elections for a provisional World Parliament, while supportive states negotiate an international treaty to establish a formally recognized World Parliament with gradually expanding powers. The parliament shall operate democratically on the principle of one person, one vote and remain open to participation by all countries.

This proposal for a World Parliament offers a promising path to global democratic governance. To truly improve lives, its mandate must explicitly include establishing robust global social safety nets, regulating multinational corporations for equitable wealth distribution, and enforcing universal labor and environmental standards. We must ensure its powers enable market innovation *while strictly protecting* public services and fostering broad reinvestment for societal benefit, bridging capital and labor interests effectively. Clear mechanisms for accountability and diverse representation will be essential.
