#MakeEarthDemocratic
Create a democratic world federation empowered to serve the common interest of humanity.

We are all global citizens because we share a common planet, universal human rights, and responsibilities towards each other. These inherent rights and responsibilities should become a reality for everyone.
✍️
The will of all people should be the basis for legitimate and accountable decision-making in global affairs.

📜
All people, corporations, and governments must be subject to binding, enforceable world law. The principles of a world federation must be protected by a world constitution.

The Campaign for a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly is a global network of parliamentarians, non-governmental organizations, scholars, and dedicated citizens that advocates democratic representation of the world's citizens at the United Nations.

1 for 7 Billion is a global campaign supported by organizations and individuals from all corners of the globe committed to getting the best UN Secretary-General.
