Formerly called
World Committee for a World Constitutional Convention

The World Constitution and Parliament Association (WCPA), formally known as the World Committee for a World Constitutional Convention (WCWCC),[2] is an international committee established as an international non-governmental organization (INGO) dedicated to the establishment of world peace through a democratic federal world government.[3][4][5] WCPA is responsible for advancing the work of the Provisional World Government and its institutions established under the Constitution for the Federation of Earth (CFoE).[6][7][8]

History

[edit | edit source]

In late 1950's, Continuation Committee from the Peoples' World Convention[9][10] Executive Committee on Arrangements consisting of Philip Isely, Thane Read, Margaret Isely, and Marie Philips Scot, formulated a plan that would seek to admit delegates from both national governments and delegates from peoples of all countries to a Peoples' World Convention.[11] The form of agreement was drafted by Thane Read and revised by Philip Isely.[12] As the call for a World Constitutional Convention gained momentum, an U.S. Committee for a World Constitutional Convention was formed in 1958,[13][14] later renamed as World Committee for a World Constitutional Convention (WCWCC) in 1959 with Philip Isely as Secretary.[15] With established headquarters in Denver, Colorado in 1961, World Committee also issued calls to support the World Constitution Coordinating Committee (WCCC) , garnering committed delegates from 50 nations[16][17] and endorsements from several heads of state.[7][18] WCWCC later played a significant role in development of the world constitution.[19]

In 1966, the organization was again renamed the 'World Constitution and Parliament Association (WCPA)', with Philip Isely serving as Secretary-General and Margaret Isely as Treasurer.[20] Notably, their extensive correspondence with influential figures such as Dr. T. P. Amerasinghe of Sri Lanka and Dr. Reinhart Ruge of Mexico contributed to the growth and development of WCPA,[21] eventually leading to their appointment as co-presidents.[22] Together, they dedicated their efforts to advancing the cause of a World Constitution in their respective roles for many years. After the death of his first wife in 1997, Philip remarried in 2001,[7] and he left WCPA in 2003, with Glen T. Martin assuming the role of Secretary-General.[22]

Eugenia Almand has been Secretary General of the WCPA since 2011, and Sam Pitroda is the current President.[1]

Constitution for the Federation of Earth

[edit | edit source]
Main article: Constitution for the Federation of Earth

The Constitution for the Federation of Earth (CFoE) formulated by group of international legal experts between[16][17] 1968 and 1991,[23] is a comprehensive framework of a global federalist government.[24] Today, the World Constitution and Parliament Association (WCPA) actively promotes its principles.[5][25] Since 1982, under this system fifteen sessions of a Provisional World Parliament have been convened and have successfully enacted numerous legislations on various global issues.[26] These efforts continue to shape the discourse surrounding global governance.[27]
