Organization

Brief Summary


Vote World Parliament

The originating organization for the world referendum. Vote World Parliament (the organization’s name was changed in 2009 from Vote World Government) is conducting this initiative by way of the Internet. The accompanying book written by Vote World Parliament president Jim Stark entitled Rescue Plan for Planet Earth – Democratic World Government through a Global Referendum – became available in

Democratic World
Federalists

The goals of world federalists are the abolition of war and crimes against humanity, the promotion of a just world community through the development of enforceable world law, and the preservation of a livable and healthful global environment. Achievement of those goals require the establishment of a democratic federal world government with powers adequate to: keep the peace, protect individual human rights, assist in the promotion of a just world community, and prevent environmental degradation and depletion of resources essential to human life.


Authors’ Campaign for Democratic World Parliament

Currently 120+ authors have agreed to set aside their philosophical differences in order to encourage the holding of a global referendum on the general goal of a democratic world parliament. Below are links for the May 13, 2009 press release announcing the Authors’ Campaign, as well as the letter that is being sent, co-signed by the authors, to thousands and eventually tens of thousands of NGOs (nongovernmental organizations), soliciting their support for the online global referendum for a democratic world parliament.

The Global Trust

We are a group of people wedded to the idea of one world. Our trust was registered on 23/02/1996 under The Trust Act. The aim of of The Global Trust is:

1. To see entire world united under one Government of talented people of world. Wide pool of resources will be available for selection.

2. Common currency, common flag , Common citizenship, no passport, no visa, no entry restriction, free movement of people from one corner of world to another corner.

3. Scaling down of military: If the above dream is materialized, the military defense, R & D organizations, Arms, ammunition factories, will all become redundant. Huge capital & vast human resources, technically highly qualified, will be spared. This Capital can be diverted to other pressing & burning problems of education, health, hunger, sanitation, alternative energy, alternate fuel etc.

4. World without criminals & terrorists.

Our work includes all variety of nonviolent activism that moves the world in the direction of ending all war.

 


World Parliament Experiment, The

The World Parliament Experiment (WPE) is not just against the current world order, it is a positive vision of a fully democratic world, in which everybody will take part and have a say. This is why the WPE is YOUR democracy. It is your forum to vote, to elect, to express your opinions, and be elected as a representative! The WPE allows political activity on the national and the local level: It is linked to national democracy experiments and it includes regional forums.


Simpol

The greatest barrier to solving our global environmental, economic and social problems is destructive competition between nations to attract capital and jobs, harming society and the environment around the world. Simpol (short for Simultaneous Policy) offers a simultaneous solution and outlines a bottom-up political campaign that transcends party politics and offers citizens a way to use their votes to save the planet.


Building Global Democracy

The Building Global Democracy Programme explores how “rule by and for the people” can be understood and practised in relation to global issues. Launched in 2008, BGD links up academic researchers, civil society activists, entrepreneurs, journalists and officials from all world regions.
The BGD approach is interregional, intercultural, interdisciplinary and ideologically pluralist. Five BGD projects are planned through 2012.
