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]
In late 1950's, Philip Isely, along with 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. [9] The form of agreement was drafted by Thane Read and revised by Philip Isely. [10] As the call for a World Constitutional Convention gained momentum, an U.S. Committee for a World Constitutional Convention was formed in 1958, [11] [12] later renamed as World Committee for a World Constitutional Convention (WCWCC) in 1959 with Philip Isely as Secretary. [13] 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 [14] [15] and endorsements from several heads of state. [7] [16] WCWCC later played a significant role in development of the world constitution. [17]
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. [18] 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, [19] eventually leading to their appointment as co-presidents. [20] 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. [20]
The Constitution for the Federation of Earth (CFoE), also known as, Earth Constitution (EC), formulated by group of international legal experts between [14] [15] 1968 and 1991, [21] is a comprehensive framework of a global federalist government. [22] Today, the World Constitution and Parliament Association (WCPA) actively promotes its principles. [5] [23] 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. [24] These efforts continue to shape the discourse surrounding global governance. [25]
