This group, a small corresponding world network, was formed 25 years ago
with a monthly newsletter "The Purple Dawn" . Its proposal for a route to a
governed world of peace and justice for the Nation of Humanity, the
Brotherhood and Sisterhood of Humankind, is for a World Parliamentary
Conference made up of participants from present political constituencies of
approx 10 million with small nation states included. That is sub-national or
mega-cities with larger states or federated states or regional arrangements.
Electronic weighted voting would ensure a democratic equation. Agenda would
be set by the assembly. Total funding essential but not impossible. The
route via reform of the United Nations seems barren and lost in the
nation-state syndrome especially with present direction of USA. Popular
people assemblies have their role in highlighting the concept of a planetary
community and the need for a planetary society. The Parliamentary
Confederation of the Americas grew from this representative style and last
fall set up a committee to explore a Parliamentary Conference of the World.
