The establishment of the United Mankind Initiative requires a coalition of experienced organisations and groups that are skilled in the various forms of cooperation. They must have the necessary connections and also know how to organise the necessary funding. I think that this could work in a similar way to the ‘Coalition for the UN we need’. Only then it would be a ‘Coalition for the UM we want’. The difference would then be that it would no longer be a question of repairing or improving something old, but of building a new organisation from scratch. The advantage is that the new organisation would be open to all progressive ideas and proposals, whereas the doors of the UN would remain closed. But it will be a hell of a lot of work, more than continuing to run on the UN's hamster wheel.
Let's assume that a coalition of civil society organisations succeeds in founding the United Mankind Initiative. Since the initiative would be open to a certain extent in terms of content, it could expand quickly. It goes without saying that this would require democratic leadership structures. But I don't want to prejudge that here. Branches could be established in countries where this is legally possible. In countries with authoritarian structures, we will have to wait and see. International expansion could focus on smaller countries. Here it would be easier to enter into dialogue with the respective governments.
Over time, the leadership of the initiative should develop into a parliament that corresponds to the concept of the World Parliament propagated by Democracy Without Borders. This would allow the concept to be adapted and optimised in practical application. How should the parliament be elected worldwide? There are many questions that need to be tested and clarified. The preliminary culmination of such a development would then be the period in which the World Parliament, as a general assembly, draws up and adopts a charter on the basis of which the United Mankind Organisation can be officially founded. Then ‘We the Peoples’ would no longer be an empty slogan, but a reality.
