. . DEMOCRATIC PARTICIPATION . .<\/p>\n

A call from We the Peoples<\/a><\/p>\n

The biggest challenges facing humanity such as pandemics, the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, violent conflict, forced displacement, discrimination and inequality are global and cross-cutting in nature. With each passing day, they become more pressing. International collaboration and global governance need to improve significantly and become more accountable to those affected most: the world\u2019s citizens.<\/p>\n

On the occasion of the UN\u2019s 75th anniversary, heads of state and government committed to making global governance more inclusive. The UN Secretary-General promised to promote a new model based on full, inclusive and equal participation in global institutions. We agree. It is time to give people a stronger voice in global affairs and at the UN.<\/p>\n

We call on the UN and member states to implement three specific institutional changes to strengthen the inclusive and democratic character of the UN:<\/p>\n

A World Citizens’ Initiative<\/strong><\/p>\n

The creation of the instrument of a World Citizens\u2019 Initiative which enables people to put forward proposals on key issues of global concern for discussion and further action at the highest political level. Any proposal that reaches a certain threshold of popular support should be put onto the agenda of the UN General Assembly or Security Council.<\/p>\n

A UN Parliamentary Assembly<\/strong><\/p>\n

The creation of a UN Parliamentary Assembly which allows for the inclusion of elected representatives in the agenda-setting and decision-making of the UN. The assembly will act as a representative body and watchdog connecting the people with the UN and reflecting a broad diversity of global viewpoints.<\/p>\n

A UN Civil Society Envoy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Setting up the office of a UN Civil Society Envoy to enable greater participation, spur inclusive convenings and drive the UN\u2019s outreach to the public and civil society organisations. This envoy should champion the implementation of a broader strategy for opening up the UN to people\u2019s participation and civil society voices.<\/p>\n

These new tools will help the UN and member states to tackle global challenges more effectively. They will enhance the legitimacy of global governance and facilitate its transformational potential.<\/p>\n

Tangible changes in the UN\u2019s functioning are urgently needed to realize the promise of the Preamble of the UN Charter which begins with the words, \u201cWe the Peoples of the United Nations\u201d.<\/p>\n
