Concurrent Resolution (U.S.A.)

A CALL FOR A GENERAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED NATIONS
TO REVISE THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER TO FORM
A DEMOCRATIC FEDERAL WORLD GOVERNMENT

Whereas, numerous wars, international and civil, have been waged since the United Nations was founded in 1945,
and whereas warfare continues, and no evidence exists that war will cease to occur in the future unless new measures are taken, and

Whereas, the United Nations, notwithstanding its invaluable humanitarian, scientific, social and cultural achievements, has failed in its basic purpose to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war”, and

Whereas, the United Nations requires the structural capability to address matters that by their nature or by neglect cannot be or are not being addressed adequately by nation states including, but not limited to, war, nuclear weapons proliferation, international terrorism, environmental catastrophe and economic disparity, and

Whereas, the United Nations requires the structural capability to enforce democratically enacted world law,

Therefore, be it resolved that it is the sense of the United States Congress that the President of the United States call for a general conference of the members of the United Nations, as provided by Article 109 of the Charter, to revise the United Nations to form a democratic federal world government conforming to the following specifications:

A representative and democratic World Legislature with world constitutional authority to enact world law;

A World Executive, directly elected by the people of the world or selected by and responsible to the elected
World Legislature, whose powers are specifically enumerated by the World Constitution, to administer and enforce world law;

A World Judiciary System to interpret world law, a system with compulsory jurisdiction to adjudicate disputes between nation states, non national entities and individual world citizens;

A World Bill of Rights to protect the basic human rights of all world citizens.
