Enhancing the Legitimacy of Multilateralism: Two Innovative Proposals for the U.N.
This Policy Brief was first published in https://t20ind.org
India’s G20 presidency in 2023 is grounded in the theme ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (One Earth-One Family-One Future). One of six overall priorities of India’s G20 presidency is “to continue pressing for reformed multilateralism that creates a more accountable, inclusive, just, equitable and representative multipolar international system that is fit for addressing the challenges in the 21st century.”1 This policy brief responds to this priority. Exploring the need for reformed multilateralism and the role the G20 can play as a group and through its individual members, it sets forth two specific recommendations for action at the United Nations: the creation of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly, and the instrument of a UN World Citizens’ Initiative.
