The document calls for the establishment of a Parliamentary Assembly at the United Nations to better involve citizens and ensure international cooperation in addressing global challenges. It argues that to strengthen the UN's legitimacy and capacity, people need to be more directly included in its activities. A consultative Parliamentary Assembly would create an important link between the UN, governments, and civil society. Over time, the assembly could evolve from a body of national parliamentarians to a directly elected assembly, helping catalyze development of international law and positively shape globalization according to the UN's objectives. The document appeals to UN members and organizations to support establishing such an assembly.
