United Nations Parliamentary Assembly - Steps to Planethood

An international grassroots campaign is afoot to introduce citizens' representation at the United Nations, and Canadians are playing a leading role. The idea is to begin with an advisory body associated with the UN - a citizens' watchdog with clout - that gradually transitions into a world parliament. This would be similar to the development of the European Parliament that now has co-decision powers and is elected by over 490 million voters of the European Union. Please go to the website unpacampaign.org for background information and to endorse the proposal on-line. Join activists all over the world working for global community and an effective, accountable United Nations. A UN Parliamentary Assembly would be a symbol of global consciousness, a conscience for the world, and a lever for further democratic reform.
