The article discusses the formation and advantages of a citizen-elected Global Parliamentary Assembly (GPA). GPA is an institution that would enable citizens of any nations to participate directly in the world political process. It would offer disaffected citizens of a constructive alternative to terrorism and other forms of political violence as means to have their voices heard. It would provide a legitimate international forum in which the citizens could at least be heard and find enough support to achieve peaceful redress. The establishment of a global parliament would signal the emergence of a democratic and peace-oriented alternative.
