In a world plagued by a galloping crisis (COVID-19), globalization and multilateralism are being questioned again. At its 75th anniversary hour, the UN may more than ever seek its role in international society. It is not only the question of legality, but also that of legitimacy...
Following the developments of European
parties since 2004, explaining their role to both journalists and students, I
believe that European political parties can play a huge role in society.
We challenged these structures, as through
their representatives, to express their opinion on the evolution of world
governance, given that the European parties are fundamental in the activity of
the most democratic European structure, the European Parliament.
It was not easy to identify the
representatives of ASEAN, MERCOSUR or the African Union in Brussels. But it was
worth the effort to involve them in this conversation.
The conclusion of the public debate, held
in Brussels on March 5, 2020, is brilliant. There is a window of opportunity to
open the debate on the Global Parliament, following the model of the European
Parliament.
The parliamentary dimension of the global
structure is clearly outlined, complementary to the current structure of the
United Nations. In European terms, the current UN General Assembly is
equivalent to the EU Council, and a Global Parliament can be inspired by the
gradual construction of the European Parliament, the forum that represents the
interests of citizens.
