Multi-Cameral
Genesis of World Statutory Code
The Emergence of Assembly of States and the World Parliament
The sessions of
the provisional World Parliament meet to deliberate
provisional world legislation in conformance with the Earth
Constitution.
The essential
principle of world parliament is that the world citizens
themselves have the legitimate authority to establish
self-government at the world level. Under the nearly
worldwide accepted principles of parliamentary democracy,
parliaments do not require permissions from their
constituent governments in the form of legislative
ratifications. In other words, nowhere are parliaments
subject to veto by their constituent governments: Uttar
Pradesh is not required to ratify statutes of the Council of
States or Lok Sabha. This differentiates parliamentary
government from conventional rulings (which require national
ratifications).
Since the
provisional World Parliament is not subject to national
veto, and since it is founded on a legitimate, democratic
Earth Constitution, its work is real law, subject to
amendment, repeal and extension, etc., at any future
sessions of the World Parliament, not by veto, but rather by
the democratic participation and election of its national
and peoples representatives, and by its counselors.
A question might
arise about the legitimacy of the Earth Constitution, since
everyone has not already voted for it. But logically, for
democracy to be, some citizens must take initiative, and
then include provisions for ratification in the constitution
that they draft. It is the provision for democratic
ratification that 100% legitimizes the constitution, not any
utopian requirement that the Constitution were ratified
before its being written, nor any civil enforcement prowess
of those who wish to implement the World Parliament,
although the Earth Constitution does have provisions for
practical civil implementation, rather than military
implementation.
The Earth
Constitution was drafted by a geographically, racially and
nationally diverse group of many persons over a period of
thirty years. It is the only world constitution to have such
a large participative base in its drafting.
On to world
statutory code—
There are currently two deliberative bodies that are
drafting world legislation: the provisional World
Parliament, and the Assembly of States Parties. Each of
these two have real strengths and real weaknesses. However,
they in fact are depending on one another for their
integrated world legislative base. The emergence of
multiple, legitimate legislative chambers that provide
cross-checking control on world legislative statutes is the
logical extension of the effective principle of multiple
legislative chambers at national and regional levels, such
as the Council of States and the Lok Sabha of India.
(Note: Assembly of
States Parties - ASP as of 28 October 2005 has exactly 100
national governments officially participating in its
deliberations. The ASP is currently the primary source for
over half of the body of text of world legislation adopted
by the provisional World Parliament. The other half of the
text comes from numerous drafting commissions and
legislative authors. This is similar to the legislative
drafting sources of national governments.)
The Criminal Bench
of the World Court (created by the Assembly of States
Parties) currently has a yearly budget of equivalent of some
27 thousand crore rupees. This is not a dream for some
utopia, but is the practical budget—modest, but real,
promised and being delivered from the Assembly of States
Parties’ 100 member states. (http://www.iccnow.org/ — search
words: budget, Euros) The application of people’s
coordinated action for multiple legislative chambers could
quickly increase this budget by more than an order of
magnitude (to equivalent of more than 270 crore rupees). The
coordinated action is largely the response of private
citizens who take provisional governmental responsibilities,
with an end view of accounting for everyone’s effforts, so
that the public venture can truly pay off. Provision for
crediting of citizens work for the world parliament and
world federation is a well-established principle of world
constitutional law and world statutory code. However, the
people—the world citizens—must encourage accountancy from
the provisional world federation itself—not just rely on
donations from individuals, from NGO’s or from nations. This
means that anything you do for the world parliament and the
world federation needs to be accounted for, and that you
have the responsibility also for accounting for the value of
your own contribution. If you try to exclusively volunteer,
the volunteering itself will smother the strength of the
federation!
This increase in
the World Court Criminal Bench budget does not come from
sacrifice nor from voluntary contributions, but rather from
the credit generated as the principle of multicameral
legislature of world parliament is proclaimed by the
citizens themselves. Within a decade, the budget, via the
coordination of multicameral legislation, could increase to
significantly more than 2 orders of magnitude (to more than
2,700 crore rupees). This can be done without depriving from
social service allocations, since the world parliamentary
budget will also be considering and allocating for such
services, including for instance, emergency services for
earthquake victims and for polio victims, etc. Allocations
for these services can also be made keeping in mind
businesses, so that economies are not destroyed due to
appropriate social welfare.
The legislation of
the provisional World Parliament is based upon professional
legislative drafting guidelines. The Parliament serves
legislative function to integrate viable international laws,
including viable convention laws, within a fiscally-solvent,
democratic, non-military, global decision-making structure.

20 provisional World Districts, constituting part of Region
9, Magna-Region 5, Continent 3 of the Earth Federation
District numbers are assigned by the provisional World
Parliament, not by constituent world districts.
However, District
Names are to be determined by plebiscite within the
constituent world districts, not by the World Parliament.
Specific world district borders are subject to change within
world constitutional limits, by decision of the World
Parliament, but subject to approval by final plebiscite of
the specific world districts affected, as is defined in the
Earth Constitution. Alternatively, affected world
districts may initiate plebiscites to maintain or adjust
world district lines, within world constitutional limits.
World Districts
here described fit within the 10% constitutional limits,
except for Hokkaido and Saitama, which each have about 50K
people under and over the limit, respectively. Plebiscites
or soundings are recommended for Aomori, Saitama, and
perhaps World Districts adjacent Saitama to determine
district lines for these districts. For Saitama,
recommending possibly drawing district line on Jouetsu
Shinkansen and Tohoku Shinkansen (expressways), with area
north of the expressways going to Tochigi, Gumma, Niigata,
North Saitama World District. This is a clear geographical
boundary, and probably has about the correct population to
serve as an appropriate district line. For Hokkaido,
recommending either Shimokita Hantou or Tsugaru Hantou, or
parts of both, to be included as Hokkaido, North Aomori
World District. Although geographical markers are not as
clear as for Saitama, compliance with the population limit
can be obtained by such an inclusion.
Immediate
information to get: Age statistics for populations of the
prefectures, or from Japan as a whole for extrapolation to
World Districts, to determine the electorate. A list of
mondialized cities of Japan (and mondialized prefectures, if
these exist. Determine 25% of the electorate for the
prefectures. Half of this amount is the threshhold simple
majority for effective, legal ratification of the Earth
Constitution.

Workshop:
The workshop was planned in two parts:
1) Immediate electoral action, with accounting for
reimbursement, as provided under the Earth Constitution and
the world legislation; and
2) The legal promotion of a transcendant world currency
system via art and world legislation. The legislation is a
necessary but easy matter. The far more challenging
component here is the art, which is necessary for the
thriving of the global peace culture.
By student
canvassing of economic thinkers such as Robert Mundell, Paul
Volcker, John Kenneth Galbraith,
James Galbraith and George Soros, a tremendous fiscal
prestige can be generated. An essential key is to NOT ask
them for money, but rather to honor them by asking them to
participate in judging a world currency design exposition.
CMS students would take a leading student division role.
Who are these
aforementioned people?
Robert Mundell, Nobel Laureate in Economics and Chair of the
Economics Department at Colombia University in New York City
writes that there must be a global currency. He is correct
of course. Now since CMS is a UNESCO Peace Education Prize
laureate, it will honor Robert Mundell further if students
urge him to serve as an honorary judge in a global currency
design exposition If students and WUPED are persistent and
tactful, the approach will be irresistible. If Robert
Mundell is a design exposition judge, then that gives
tremendous status to the currency design exposition itself,
which fixes value to the process of the world currency
design, with CMS and WUPED in the process. Paul Volcker,
former Chair of the United States Federal Reserve System, is
also head of the International Accounting and Auditing
Standards Board (IASB). This is the agency that
professionally determines worldwide standards for accounting
and auditing. Since the provisional World Parliament has
already adopted the International Accounting Standards of
the IASB, this gives greater stature both to the provisional
World Parliament and to the IASB. It hastens the wide
acceptance and implementation of the International
Accounting Standards which are absolutely necessary in the
new global system. In other words, the currency design
exposition itself is to design artwork for world currency
that itself is subject to the IASB standards.
(It is vital to
note here that though the artwork itself has value, it does
not pretend to be actual currency, which would evidently
require national level confirmations to be operative. The
format within which the currency art is embedded will
clearly note that the artwork itself is not legal tender,
but rather only sample of human global culture building a
new fiscal system. (In other words, the format framework for
the art is clearly marked ?gSAMPLE?h. The artwork may or may
not be professionally done, but the format within which the
art is embedded will be of professional design and quality.)
John Kenneth
Galbraith has written the following:
“...the United Nations role must now be open to major
discussion—and change. The day will come I believe for a
legislative oversight of the world economic and social
system, the first step toward world government? And more
generally and urgently, it must have responsibility in
keeping with the new problems—economic, financial,
cultural—of internationalism, of the modern global village
and the protection of the welfare State....This is not in
the area of fantasy. Rather, it is action to accommodate to
the modern reality. It is what the underlying and
controlling economic and social change has made essential.
Let us now begin the serious discussion.” UN Chronicle, no.
3, 1997.
John Kenneth
Galbraith is the Paul M. Warburg Professor of Economics
Emeritus at Harvard University. So apparently Galbraith is
supportive of world parliament. It would be good to note
that J.K. Galbraith is 97 yoa and probably cannot
participate strongly, but his son James Galbraith is a
renowned global economist in his own right, and is also the
Chair of the Board of Economists for Peace and Security and
a professor at the University of Texas.
George Soros may
also have a role to play in this, as among other things, his
father is a strong advocate of Esperanto, and the
provisional World Parliament has adopted Esperanto as an
official language. Esperanto would of course be a necessary
language to appear on the world currency in the framework
format portion.
