How Do International Elections Work?
Every four years, citizens of International States participate in elections to elect Members of the International Parliament.
What Are International Elections? How Are Members Elected?
International Elections are a process through which citizens of various countries around the world select their representatives to serve as Members of the International Parliament. These elections ensure that the voices of international citizens are represented on a global stage.
What is the International Parliament?
The International Parliament is the world’s sole transnational assembly, directly elected by global citizens. Its primary role is to advocate for and protect the interests of its constituents on the international stage, addressing issues that transcend national borders.
What Powers Does the International Parliament Hold?
Members of the International Parliament play a vital role in addressing global challenges. They collaborate with international representatives to discuss and pass laws that impact the lives of people worldwide. These laws cover diverse areas, including poverty reduction, climate change mitigation, digital security, and communication enhancement. Additionally, Parliament members work to raise awareness on significant political and social issues, consistently upholding the core values of the international community, such as human rights, democracy, equality, freedom, and the rule of law.
How Does the International Parliament Differ from the Council of International Government and the International Crimes and Offences Authority?
The Council of International Government is the executive branch responsible for proposing and implementing international law, as well as managing day-to-day international affairs. While the International Parliament represents the interests of the global community, the Council represents the interests of international governance. Both bodies collaborate in shaping proposals from the International Crimes and Offences Authority. If they reach consensus, they formally adopt these proposals into international law.
