Bypass the Failed UN Security Council: A World Parliament Arises

15 Apr 2026 – At one time I described the Constitution for the Federation of Earth (aka Earth Constitution) as a “gift to humanity.” Why? Because the United Nations can’t do its main job due to its fatally flawed UN Charter.
The Earth Constitution, drafted over a period of 30 years by the World Constitution & Parliament Association (WCPA), has the potential to resolve this dilemma of the UN not being able to end war, eliminate nuclear weapons, or adequately insure human rights and protect the environment.
Psychopaths & Criminal Nations
As a psychologist I have explained in my own writings (www.earthfederation.info) that from a psychological point of view world (federal) government is clearly necessary. Why? One reason is that among the nations there are a wide variety of leaders, but predictably a few will be psychopaths — without empathy or conscience.
These psychopaths are protected by the absolute sovereignty positioned in the UN Charter. As a result, history proves that there are nations that invariably become criminal — both inside and outside, and the UN stands by helplessly. Countries like Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Egypt, and Myanmar come to mind, as do powerful bully nations like Israel, US and Russia.
Israel and the US, it can be argued, are examples of violent rogue nations as exposed in this issue of DWF NEWS. Claiming the right of “self-defense” these nations’ leaders routinely commit world crimes against weaker nations and peoples (eg, genocide against Palestinians) with impunity, mocking the UN. The defective UN Charter prevents the UN from stopping their war crimes and crimes against humanity.
A small group of world citizens and world federalists since World War II knew the UN as structured could not end war or eliminate nukes. I like to say that I stand with “Einstein on Peace” (Nathan & Norden, 1981), and the analysis by Einstein and other world federalist turned out to be tragically correct: Without world government we could not end war, eliminate nukes, or protect human rights. The UN is not a world government.
Earth Constitution Solution for a “New UN”
World citizen visionaries (WCPA) anticipated the solution and drafted the Earth Constitution, designed to replace the UN Charter. There is a growing Earth Constitution movement by activists to establish Earth Federation government.
Earth Federation government is essentially a citizen’s movement to establish a “new UN.” It’s actually happening.
One goal is to replace the failed UN Security Council with the Earth Constitution’s World Parliament. There will be a House of Nations and a House of Peoples.
The new government’s design insures there is no world dictator. The governing model is parliamentary, not presidential. There is no president of the world. Instead the World Parliament selects 5 of its members to form a “Presidium” to coordinate the decisions of the Parliament. (I am a member of the Presidium, hence have an insider’s view.)
Personally, I feel that the intellectual foundation for Earth Constitution world government has been successfully completed (see the series of books by Dr. Glen T. Martin). We are strong in our moral, ethical, political, legal and psychological arguments.
We are weak in finances, mainstream media attention, and working relationships with national governments. We can empower the UN General Assembly once they agree to join forces with us starting perhaps with forming a “Study Group for a New UN.”
[Responsibility for the above analysis and strategy proposal is solely that of the author, Dr. Kotila, and may or may not have the approval of the PWP, or Presidium, of which I am a member.]
