We The Peoples: Three proposals for a more democratic UN
An online session of the Gwangju Democracy Forum 2021 will discuss the democratic deficit of the UN and three proposals to mitigate the problem: a UN Parliamentary Assembly to improve citizen representation, a UN World Citizens’ Initiative to strengthen citizen participation and the office of a UN Civil Society Envoy to strengthen civil society involvement. These three proposals are featured in the joint civil society statement on inclusive global governance published on 23 April 2021 at wethepeoples.org. Andreas Bummel will be one of the speakers at this session organized by Democracy Without Borders.
