review: Editorial Reviews Review 'In this time of despair and confusion, this paper is a clear statement on the feasibility of a more sustainable, fair and democratic political structure to cope with the issues of a global world. The theoretical and practical aspects of a UN Parliamentary Assembly are analyzed and developed with precision and accuracy. It's a fundamental contribution to the politics of the 21st century.' - Fernando Iglesias , Argentine Deputy and President, World Federalist Movement 'A UN Parliamentary Assembly is an important pragmatic step that needs to be taken now. This assembly should pave the way for a global constitutional process and eventually transition into a real world parliament.' - Daniel Jositsch , Swiss Senator and Professor of Law 'The UN needs reforms and new mechanisms for more democratic and efficient decision-making. A Parliamentary Assembly would stimulate global solutions for global problems and better connect the UN with the citizens. This study shows how it can work.' - Jo Leinen , Honorary President, European Movement International; former State Minister for the Environment and former Member of the European Parliament 'This study includes important recommendations and reflections on how a UN Parliamentary Assembly can be implemented and evolve over time. This new assembly is necessary to improve the democratic character of the United Nations and global governance.' - Livingstone Sewanyana , UN Independent Expert on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order 'This report illustrates that a UN Parliamentary Assembly can be crucial to achieve more inclusive global governance. I'm delighted to support this project.' - Achyuta Samanta , Member of the Lok Sabha and founder, Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology & Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences, India 'The vision of a world parliament is giving hope and direction. The UN needs a democratic body that can make global law to the benefit of all. This study is a key resource that explains how this can be put on track.' - Ivone Soares , Member of Parliament, Mozambique 'The 75th anniversary of the UN is a pivotal moment to push for inclusive people-centered multilateralism. The creation of a UN Parliamentary Assembly is one of our key demands. We welcome this contribution on how it can be implemented.' - Mandeep Tiwana , Chief Programmes Officer, CIVICUS
