Parliament of Man That s What Many Diplomats Feel Will Become
New York October 23 The United Nations general assembly is viewed by many diplomats as the working form of a global parliament. It serves as a foundation of world opinion with each member nation having one equal voice and a veto unavailable on procedural matters. The body can discuss any issue under the UN charter but can only make recommendations on peace and security. The security council holds real power to act and veto, while the general assembly can call attention to dangerous situations and suspend or expel members under charter rules. It elects non permanent council members and trustees, drafts the budget, and pursues studies and recommendations to foster international cooperation across political economic social cultural and health fields while promoting human rights for all.
