Many people think that they do not have the ability to change the world, which can be frustrating. However, we could potentially change the world into a more democratic place in just five steps – this article will explain how.
Step 1: Set up a World Parliament
The United Nations Security Council is where decisions with some of the greatest impact are made, and yet it is democratically deficient. Whilst all stages of government have some sort of parliamentary body, the highest level of governance – the UN – has none. We therefore need to change this by establishing a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly (UNPA) which would provide democratic representation of the people of the world.
Step 2: Encourage a Public Mind Shift
The formation of the UNPA could be part of the public mind shift that is already happening in the public around the world at the moment. We need to encourage more people to move to a higher level of thinking where they see themselves not just as individuals but also as citizens of the world.
Step 3: Develop a New Global Political Philosophy based upon Conflict Resolution
As a result of this changing mind shift, we can begin to create a new political philosophy for the world, which will be an evolution of the thinking from previous years.
Step 4: Changing Global Law-making
We need to move on from national interests and use global law to replace the current international legal system which has proved itself to be unable to cope with the transnational problems.
Step 5: A Transformed System of Global Governance
The result of following these steps will be that we can achieve a democratic system of global governance which provides representation for the people, by the people. This will mean that we can nurture a new generation of global leaders who are democratic, representing the voice of all the people of the world.
If we were to follow these steps, the world would certainly be a better place – we would have real representation on a global level, meaning that people could participate in the decision-making process and ensure that their voice is heard.
Go to The UNPA Club. The UNPA Club is for people who are frustrated with the way the world is being run and who want to see real change in the world. http://www.unpa-club.org has been created as a meeting place for members to support global campaigns, share ideas and contribute to making the world a better place to live. Together, we can work for the long term objective of transforming global governance, including the way global decisions are made.
