History

The origins of the Provisional World Parliament (PWP) can be traced back to the

democratic federal world government to promote global cooperation and world peace.[8][9][10] Notable signatories, including Nobel laureates Albert Szent-Györgyi, Bertrand Russell, and leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Muhammad Ayub Khan,[11] and thousands more supported the call for the convention.[12][13][14]

During the convention, over 200 participants from various countries engaged in the drafting of a constitution for a global federal government.

During this second assembly, delegates adopted the "

nations and individuals to endorse the Earth Constitution. The Constitution was sent to various entities, including the United Nations, national governments, and educational institutions, seeking their support and cooperation in the ratification process.[18][19]

The "Constitution for the Federation of Earth" underwent further amendments through subsequent World Constituent Assemblies in 1980 and 1991.[1] Additionally, the Provisional World Parliament (PWP) has convened regularly since 1982, with its most recent session occurring in 2021.[3][20]

World Legislative Acts

The World Legislative Acts (WLAs) outlined in the "Constitution for the Federation of Earth" are an essential component of the legislative framework established by the Provisional World Parliament (PWP). These acts serve as the means through which the PWP exercises its legislative authority and addresses critical global issues.[29] The Earth Constitution envisages a comprehensive range of World Legislative Acts that cover various aspects of global governance. Each act is designed to address specific global challenges and advance the principles of the Constitution. The Provisional World Parliament, in collaboration with experts and representatives from around the world, deliberates and drafts these acts to ensure they align with the Earth Constitution's values of justice, sustainability, and equality.[32]

Suppression attempts

In 1987, during the third Provisional World Parliament, 100 delegates, primarily from India,

African nations, were denied visas by the United States Department of State under section 214(b) of the federal immigration code.[33]
