标题：Towards A UN World Parliament: UN Reform For The Progressive Evolution Of An Elective And Accountable Democratic Parliamentary Process In UN Governance In The New Millennium
摘要：While the United Nations Organization is often looked upon as an idealistic vehicle for the global propagation of democratic institutions and values, the fact remains that it itself is a profoundly undemocratic institution composed only of the representatives of states and ruling governments and not of any elected representatives of peoples who would iterate proposed global public policies to their peoples and be answerable to them by any focused democratic process of selection or consent. This is not in the least surprising as all international institutions until recent times have reflected this limitation in being state-centric rather than demo-centric (people-centric). International institutions, however, no less than domestic governmental ones, are subject to the process of historical evolution, including occasional quantum qualitative leaps forward, as to their inclusiveness and accountability vis-à-vis the peoples they represent.
