  • The Case for a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly
    The Case For a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly By Senator Douglas Roche, O.C. Included in: A Reader on Second Assembly & Parliamentary Proposals Edited by Saul Mendlovitz and Barbara Walker Published by the Center for UN Reform Education (April 2003) 2 Twenty years ago, I was part of a small group of parliamentarians who held a forum at the United Nations on “The Politics of Human Survival.” This early effort at inter-parliamentary cooperation on the issues of disarmament, development and the environment brought together 55 parliamentarians from 23 countries. The keynote speaker, Saul Mendlovitz, Ira D. Wallach Professor of World Order Studies at Columbia University, shared our sense of “the possibility of enormous human catastrophe” and urged us to become a strong political movement. The forum was the debut of Parliamentarians for World Order, which evolved into the present-day Parliamentarians for Global Action, an issue- oriented association of parliamentarians, who try to advance government action on the human security issues. Even at that early date, we saw the need for a U.N. Parliamentary Assembly, which would be consultative to the General Assembly and meet at least once a year at U.N. Headquarters. The idea for United Nations Parliamentary Assembly (UNPA) has no one source. It has been talked about ever since the creation of the United Nations itself. But there is, in the current political context, some movement forward on it. The achievement of the goal is so far in the distance that one can only sketch the most rudimentary outline today. Yet the essence of the idea – that the U.N.

WOOD* Imagine we're in the midst of the town of Tombstone, before Wyatt Earp and his brothers brought law and order to bear. Everyone does exactly what he (usually) or she wants - if, of course, he's fast enough on the draw to protect his turf or he's clever enough to stay out of trouble. Rules - they're for sissies. Money is there for the making or the taking. The only problem is, shall we say, a certain uncertainty in both the quality and quantity of life. And while that might not bother the very toughest of the tough, even they need someone to farm the fields, raise the cattle, build and run the shops, and otherwise create the wealth, because without that, the town eventually dies. From the point of view of the people who were trying to invest in the town, the anarchy of the Wild West was plainly undesirable.

  • The Quest for World Citizenship & Effective Global Governance A
    The Quest for World Citizenship & Effective Global Governance A Short History of World Federalism By Daniel Schaubacher, Founding & Board Member of CUNCR www.cuncr.org The Charter of the United Nations Organisation begins with the words: “We, the peoples…”. However, the peoples are not (yet) directly represented; the executive powers or governments of nation states are. A call for reform of the UN, if not democratic legitimation of the world organisation, is increasingly heard in many lands, even though the victor states of World War Two which permanently sit at the helm of the UN Security Council have not yet agreed, in spite of Article 103c of the UN Charter, to call in a UN Reform Conference. In the thirties and during World War Two, several politicians and statesmen as well intellectuals proposed true community if not federalist measures for world governance, while condemning nationalism of Nazi Germany, Italian fascism and Japanese military imperialism. Campaign for World Government is an American organisation which was formed in 1937. In 1938, Clarence Streit proposed in the USA, in a book Union Now ! that a Federation of Democracies be formed. His thesis made a great number of adepts on both sides of the Atlantic and eventually gave birth to two independent organisations in America and in Britain, called Federal Union. The invention of nuclear power caused great fears, given the discernible inefficiency of the UN system to control armaments of mass destruction. After the Second World War, the peoples of Asia and Europe were still greatly suffering of the disastrous consequences of the global conflict.

  • Southeastern World Affairs Institute Black Mountain July 30, 2006
    Southeastern World Affairs Institute Black Mountain July 30, 2006 Jon Sawyer, Director Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting Was there ever a more urgent moment in which to examine the role and relevance of the United Nations? Was it ever more timely to recall first principles, the great traumas that occasioned the UN’s creation and to the challenges that have beset it – and its supporters – from the very beginning? We meet this weekend at an extraordinary time. Israel continues its assault on the people of southern Lebanon, with children the main victims among the 50 or more killed just this morning in the town of Qana. Hezbollah missiles continue to fall on northern Israel. We have the unprecedented spectacle of a United Nations secretary general accusing a government, Israel, of deliberately targeting a UN observation post on the Israeli-Lebanon border. And meanwhile, this morning in Beirut, the UN headquarters is ransacked by Lebanese enraged by the world’s failure to stop their country’s destruction. The Security Council is poised to meet in urgent session, taking up an as-yet undrafted resolution intended to facilitate a ceasefire in southern Lebanon – a ceasefire contingent on a promised disarming by the Hezbollah militia that appears far from certain and premised on the commitment of international peacekeeping forces from European countries that have thus far been conspicuous mostly by their silence. We have a U.S. representative to the United Nations who openly mocks the institution, disparaging it as just one forum among many for addressing international problems. We are pressing a UN Security Council resolution on Iran’s nuclear program that we call a last-chance ultimatum in advance of global sanctions – and that the Russians and Chinese characterize as simply a warning.

  • The Relevance Today of the Federal Idea
    Internationale Föderalismuskonferenz 2002 Conférence Internationale sur le Fédéralisme 2002 International Conference on Federalism 2002 Conferencia Internacional sobre el Federalismo 2002 The Relevance Today of the Federal Idea Professor Ronald L. Watts Professor Emeritus, Queen’s University Canada, International scientific advisor to the Board of Directors for the International Conference on Federalism, 2002, Switzerland In the contemporary world federalism as a political idea has become increasingly important as a way of peacefully reconciling unity and diversity within a political system. Modern developments in transportation, social communications, technology, and industrial organization have produced simultaneous pressures not only for larger states but also for smaller ones. Thus, there have developed two powerful, thoroughly interdependent, yet distinct and often actually opposed motives: the desire to build an efficient and dynamic modern state, and the search for distinctive identity. The former is generated by the goals and values shared by most Western and non-Western societies today: a desire for progress, a rising standard of living, social justice and influence in the world arena; and by a growing awareness of world-wide interdependence in an era whose advanced technology makes both mass destruction and mass construction possible. The latter arises from the desire for smaller, self-governing political units, more responsive to the individual citizen, and from the desire to give expression to primary group attachments – linguistic

  • The Politics of World Federation
    The Politics of World Federation Introduction to Both Volumes Truth passes through three stages: first, it is condemned, then it briefly triumphs, and finally it ends as platitude. —Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Idea, Foreword to the First Edition (1818), p. xv Summary Overview This is a history of the practical, political efforts to establish a constitutionally limited, democratically representative, federal world government in order to effectively abolish war. Historically, during the coming, waging, and aftermath of World War II, a number of people in and out of government in America and in the eventually 51 allied countries in the wartime “United Nations” urged that the failed League of Nations not be simply revived, even with U.S. membership, but be transformed into the beginnings of a representative world government. In principle, they argued that the moment had come to guide international organization through a transition like that when the United States under the Articles of Confederation (1781) passed to a more perfect union under the federal Constitution (1787). Europeans, too, looked to federation as an end to endemic wars, and in time the European Union would be the practical realization of such dreams. The basic idea is to do effectively for the world what has been painfully, but proudly, done for well organized national states—establish peace under the rule of law. Real liberty, as Immanuel Kant argued, exists only by obedience to law. The consent of the governed for the enactment of that law is the basis of democratic states. But the new United Nations Organization (1945) remained in principle a confederation of states, so world federalists then aimed to reform it into a representative federation of states and peoples.

I Abstract In the introduction the topic of the special issue is introduced, followed by an overview of the single contributions and some general remarks. Three of the contributions specifically address aspects of federalism theory as theory of regional integration, and it is concluded, that federalism theory indeed is a fruitful approach when analyzing regional integration projects both within and outside Europe. It is encouraged to broaden the scoop of analysis and include federations when analyzing regional integration and in this way overcome the paralysis caused by the (false) equation ‘n = 1’ where n is the number of regional projects in the world and 1 being the European Union.
