[GMW #2544] World Democracy With A World Parliament

[GMW #2544] World Democracy With A World Parliament

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000

26 September 1998

The creation of the European Union is the greatest political achievement and breakthrough of the second half of the 20th century, a real blessing on the eve of the 21st century and 3rd millennium. It must absolutely be used as a model for a World Union.

What I suggest the European Union should do for the creation of a World Court of Human Rights should be extended to a whole series of other issues relating to proper Earth government.

For example the European Parliament should open a permanent consultation between any interested governments of the planet on the ways of creating a World Parliament, first of a consultative nature, later with certain legislative powers as is now the case of the European Parliament.

This would help world democracy and have the peoples' representatives share in the shaping and governing of the Earth, not leaving it to the exclusive prerogative and authority of national executives.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
The instruments we use to "see" the infinitely large and the infinitely small are a function of our human senses and perceptions. We stand somewhere on the fathomless universal scale of distances and volumes, and we judge Creation and time from our point of view. In the universe, "great" and "small," "brief" and "long" may have no meaning.

In the universe everything is probably equally important. Perhaps not even "to be or not to be" may be important. But I cannot conceive it.

To me everything seems important on this planet.
