Background
In 2000 the Heads of State agreed in the Millennium Declaration that they would "Spare no effort to: Eliminate poverty, end war, abolish hunger, and provide all peoples with their basic human rights." But this has not been done to date.
Article 28 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights says that "everyone is entitled to an international and social order sufficient to provide and ensure these very same rights." WATUN thus calls on the UN Member States to organize and hold a UN Charter Review Conference in order to take the steps needed to achieve these goals; to create a much more effective system of global governance; and a binding and enforceable global rule of law.
Aim
The Mission of the World Alliance to Transform the United Nations is to urge and promote a Review of the UN Charter as a first step in reforming or transforming the United Nations, starting with a UN Parliamentary Assembly and moving towards a World Parliament that truly represents the people, including via nation-states and world civil society. We’ll work for the establishment of an effective system of global governance that is able to deal adequately with such global issues as peace and security, disarmament, sustainable development, adherence to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, international law, and the protection and restoration of the natural environment. It should be based on the principles of justice, freedom, democracy, rule of law, equity, self-determination, mutual cultural respect and religious diversity, international fellowship and cooperation.
