Ratifiability as an interest group
John EWBANK
Friday, 25 April 2003
I have been active in dozens of world parliament groups for more than 60
years. I endorse the concept of self-selection. The legislation or rules
adopted by any contemporary world parliament can be used as a part of the *
law * relied upon by any tribunal evaluating any dispute, just as court
decisions can refer to the laws of civilization now ignored.
The world needs a formula concerning the allocation of the weighting of the
voting in a WP. This is the significant missing link for abolishing war or
otherwise dealing with world problems. My current interest is in inventing
more concepts that might stimulate the many conflicting groups to agree upon
establishing and empowering a WP having enforcement powers.
What counts most is ratifiability. As long as it is a utopian document read
by science fiction writers it has trivial impact.
If there are others interested in brainstorming and trying to invent more
concepts that might make a difference as regards ratifiability, I am willing
to participate. I am too busy to be a discussion leader, but I am willing to
be a coordinator to whom names of those interested could be sent. My email
address is
