We may all be global citizens now, but we have no proper say in the international decision making that affects so many areas of our lives, including trade, human rights, the environment and war. It is time to address this global democratic deficit and bring democratic justice and legitimacy to the structure of international institutions. It is time for a parliament for the world… the world is waiting.
Our purpose is to invent, to share, and to practice new forms of collective action, from the local to the global scales, so that together we can exercise more control, together and with Nature, over the future of an increasingly complex and interdependent world. The challenge of the Alliance is to favor unity within diversity by proclaiming our societies’ capacity to understand and assess the complexity of situations, the interdependence of the issues, and the legitimacy of all the different geocultural, thematic, social, and professional viewpoints, and to encourage them all to act accordingly.

Under the Binding Triad concept, the U.N. General Assembly would be transformed from a powerless "Town Meeting of the World" into a genuine global legislature. Its decisions would require majorities on three "legs," based on the present one-nation-one-vote arrangement, population, and contributions to the regular U.N. budget, which are a rough measure of GNP.

We need a democratic world government because we are smart enough to resolve our disputes through law rather than through the use of force, and because we are nice enough and civilized enough to not even want to beat up a person or a country that we may disagree with. There is no good reason why we can't live as comfortably under world law as we do now under national, provincial and municipal law, and just as the formation of the nation ended wars among provinces and cities, democratic world government will surely end war between and among nations.
