Resolution: UN World Parliament - more effective, more democratic

How to abolish the VETO in the UN Security Council?

Within the General Assembly (= UN Parliament) all Member Nations have already 1 vote. However, much of the important UN work is done in the Security Council (= UN Government) and the 5 permanent (!) members of the Security Council - China, France, Russia, United Kingdom and United States - still have the right to VETO (= decline) a decision of the Security Council. This system has been challenged by the newer members of the UN which want "1 Nation 1 Vote" in the Security Council as well. The 5 permanent members of the Security Council fight to keep the system as it is claiming because they invest far more money into the UN's budget (United States 25%!) and, as a result, their voting rights should be proportionate to the contributions. Indeed, today UN's budget is paid by just twenty Member Nations...

We propose

(1) The UN Member Nations unit in big Voting Blocks representing a representative population number. 1 Block will have 1 Vote as it is already introduced in other world organisations. So it's possible to built new majorities, e. g. to get a seat in the Security Council. Every Member Nation may join its preferred group.

(2) The permanent membership in the Security Council has to be abolished.

(3) The contributions have to be adapted step by step.

Power blocks within the UN General Assembly have already developed. 7 blocks have been identified:

the Developing Nations Group which consists of 125 states

the Non-Aligned Movement which consists of 99 states (mostly Asian and African countries which avoid joining military alliances)

the African Group which consists of 50 states

the Islamic Conference which consists of 41 states

the Latin American Group which consists of 33 states

the Western European Group which consists of 22 states

the Arab Group which consists of 21 states

The friends of "The Virtual & Global Social Democratic Party - Political Education Worldwide" should import this proposition in their national parties. National party > Parliament > Government > UN Parliament.
