Should WPE formally endorse and assist the Vote World Parliament Referendum?

created by BrianCoughlan (174) - 11 Jan 2010, 11:53

The Members of the World Parliament Experiment agree to :

a. endorse the global referendum, for which the ballot question reads: "Do you support the creation of a directly-elected, representative and democratic world parliament that is authorized to legislate on global issues?"

b. encourage each member organization, and all other civil society organizations, to collect ballots however possible and as fast as possible, to be tabulated at www.voteworldparliament.org by Vote World Parliament, the NGO that developed this initiative;

c. support the idea of moving the global referendum from an online vote to a formal procedure by means of a resolution in the UN General Assembly (a draft UN resolution for this has been prepared, and is posted at here.

This initiative has already been formally endorsed by WATUN.
