Support for UN Parliament Grows Committee Welcomes Resolution of the Liberal International in Sofia
The resolution of the LI Congress has been welcomed by the non-partisan "Committee for a Democratic UN" (KDUN) as important support for the reform proposal. "This is a further sign that the proposal meets with support, no matter in which political camp" said KDUN chairman Andreas Bummel. In October 2003 the Socialist International has backed the proposal in So Paulo. The establishment of a UN Parliament is one of the main aims of the Committee for a Democratic UN which was founded in February 2004.
"Unfortunately the debate on UN reform centers too much on the question how the UN Security Council could be reformed. In our opinion the establishment of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly also has to be put onto the agenda. The resolution of the Liberal International contributes to this", said Bummel.
The resolution calls on the member states of the UN "to enter into deliberations on the establishment of a Parliamentary Assembly at the United Nations". "We hope that governments who include liberal parties will take this call to heart", said Bummel. In Canada and Belgium for example liberal prime ministers are in office, Paul Martin and Guy Verhofstadt.
