Chapter I What Global Parliament represents, its "Beliefs, Values, Principles and Aspirations"
The Preamble and Chapter 1 to Chapter 10 inclusive reflect the "Beliefs, Values, Principles and Aspirations" of Global Parliament.
Article 1: Establishment of Global Parliament
1. Reflecting the will of the Global Community citizens and all Nations to build a common future, this Constitution establishes Global Parliament, on which Member Nations confer competences to attain objectives they have in common. Global Parliament shall coordinate the policies by which Member Nations aim to achieve these objectives.
2. Global Parliament shall be open to all Member Nations which respect its values and are committed to promoting them together.
3. Global Parliament was first thought out by the Founding Members of the Global Community.
The Global Community organization was first discussed in a report on global changes published in 1990 by Germain Dufour. The report contained 450 policies (workable sound solutions) on a global sustainable development, and was presented to the United Nations, the Government of Canada, the provincial government of Alberta and several non-profit organizations and scientists. Historically, the Earth Community Organization (ECO) was called the Global Community organization. The name was changed during the August 2000 Global Dialogue. Thereafter, we used both names as meaning the same organization. The Global Community means the Earth Community Organization and vice versa. The idea of organizing an international conference and calling it a Global Dialogue first originated in 1990 and was thought out by the Global Community also making its first beginning. From that year on, Global Community WebNet Ltd. has operated its business under the name of the Global Community and is still doing now. The business owns copyrights on all materials produced during every Global Dialogue since 1990.
All Participants of Global Dialogue 2000, the World Congress on Managing and Measuring Sustainable Development - Global Community Action 1 have been given a lifetime membership of the Global Community organization.
This is the founding group of the Global Community organization, Earth Community Organization, Global Parliament , the Global Dialogue concept, and the global community concepts and universal values. Along with the new Participants to Global Dialogue 2005, this is also the founding group of this Constitution. The list of all Founding Members was shown in Chapter XXVII.
