ABSTRACT
The suggestion has been made that the Second Assembly is to be a representative body of approximately 500 people elected or in some way selected according to the population base of various regions of the world. In this chapter, the author proposes that in forthcoming international meetings on the subject of UN reform there be an enactment of the Second Assembly. Methods of implementation of the proposals and resolutions arrived at by this Second Assembly enactment must be taken seriously. Other than the power to influence public opinion, as significant as that can be, the Second Assembly will have no greater reality until it can command material resources. In order to command material resources the Second Assembly must do exactly what all governing bodies must do to some extent – establish a system of finance. The common heritage fund as a source of finance for global governance has already been established to some extent by the United Nations.
