Without the democratisation of globalisation to counteract the progressive curtailment of national democracy, nation states will lose their independence and world citizens will find themselves dominated by a new imperialism. The creation of the United Nations Parliamentary Assembly is a way to promote global democratisation. Myself, and the authors of this pamphlet, work towards that end.

- Dr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, former UN Secretary-General
