Drafted by Mr. Toshio Suzuki, World Party Japan Adopted at the First World Party Convention Accra, Ghana, 12 August 2011 We are World Citizen. We the people heartily hope world peace and human happiness. We believe that our duty is to establish the world democracy. Our basic policy is to establish World Federation and World Government. Here, the World Federation is a worldwide federation of independent countries and the World Government is the central government of federation. World Government, which we aim to establish, is concerned with only limited aspects of society. Namely, in principle, it is concerned with only the administration of military force, the issuance of currency, and other political and economic problems that individual country cannot solve for itself. Other aspects of society such as religion, political and economic system like liberalism or communism, industry, agriculture, commerce, science, arts, sports, tradition, and so on are left free to each country. Politics and religion are divided in the World Party. Religion is recognized as a private matter and so any religion is allowed in the World Party. World Party has one branch in each country. World Party is the International Secretariat of each branch. World Party has no personal member. Members of World Party are branches in each country. Branch of each country has personal members. Basic policy of each branch of World Party must be same as that of World Party. Here, basic policy is to establish World Federation and World Government. But, each branch can have its own policy. Therefore, each branch can declare either the liberalism or communism. Namely, a branch of World Party in one country can declare the liberalism and another branch in another country can declare the communism. Politics and religion are divided in branches also. Article 1 - Name of Organization The name of this party is "World Party." Article 2 - Location of Headquarters Headquarters of World Party is located at World Party c/o Mr. Toshio Suzuki 1-158 Nakakanasugi, Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, 270-0007, Japan. Article 3 - Policy Basic policy of World Party is to establish and maintain World Federation and World Government and tackle the domestic and international problems that individual government cannot solve for itself. As a first step, we are aiming to establish the World Parliament without legislative power like European Parliament. Article 4 - Supreme Body The supreme body of World Party is the World Party Convention. The Convention is held once in four years and, in principle, is held in different country each time. The World Party Convention is recognized regardless of the number of attending delegates as far as the following conditions are fulfilled.
Article 5 - President and Directors The President of World Party is elected at the World Party Convention. Term of the Presidency is 4 years and the President can be elected more than two times. The President appoints directors such as Vice President, treasurer, secretary, spokesman, etc. The maximum number of directors is 12 and the kinds of directors are not exactly specified. President decides the number and kinds of directors. Article 6 - International Secretariat As written in the Preamble, World Party is the International Secretariat of branches in each country. Article 7 - Branch and Member 1 World Party has one branch in each country. Each branch is, as far as there is no particular objection, authorized without condition by the World Party. New branch is refused or existing branch is dismissed when the World Party Convention resolved that the branch is inappropriate for the World Party. Relation between World Party and each branch is based on customary agreement. Legally, World Party and each branch are independent organizations. So, no official document is exchanged between World Party and each branch. This is stipulated to avoid the problems that may occur when each branch gets registered to each country. As written in the Preamble, members of World Party are branches in each country and World Party has no personal member. Branch of each country has personal members. 2 Basic policy of each branch is same as that of World Party. But each branch can have its own policy. For example, a branch in one country can declare the liberalism and another branch in another country can declare the communism. 3 Condition of membership of each branch is specified in the statute of each branch. Member of each branch must pay member dues to the branch. Each branch must pay the party dues to the World Party. The amount is 5% of revenue of branch. But this proportion can be reduced according to the increase in the revenue of World Party. Article 8 - Vote of Delegate Each branch can send its delegates to the World Party Convention. The number of delegates is, in principle, in proportion to population of each country. At the Convention, in principle, each delegate of branches shall have 1 vote. This is specified as follows. 1 The number of delegates and the number of votes are decided in the way same as World Parliament that World Party aims to establish. The number of delegates is basically 1,000. Each delegate has 1 vote and so the number of vote is also basically 1,000. A numerical example of apportionment of delegates is as follows.
But, if a country which has 100 votes sends only 50 delegates, the votes are 50. This is because 1 delegate can have only 1 vote. Namely, the vote cannot be entrusted. The maximum number of vote of individual branch is up to 20% of total votes of attending delegates. For example, if the total votes of attending delegates is 500, 500 X 0.20 = 100 votes are the maximum votes which each branch can have. 2 Election of delegates of each branch must be implemented fairly and transparently. Delegates from each branch must get registered to the World Party at least one year before the World Party Convention. The number of registered delegates from each branch can be three times as many as the number of official delegates. For example, if the number of official delegates of a branch is 10, the branch can register 30 delegates to the World Party. From among these 30 registered delegates, the branch can send 10 delegates as the official delegates. In case of the table above, registered delegates of China are 591, India 528, USA 138, Japan 57, and Assumed country 3 respectively. By the opening of World Party Convention, at least one year must have passed since the registration of delegates. If no objection is stated against the registered delegates for one year, the delegates can attend the World Party Convention as the official delegate. After the delegates have been registered, each registered delegate can object to other registered delegates if there is any unfair practice or other problems. The objection is submitted by document with reason clearly specified to the World Party. In this case, the objector's name must be specified. If registered delegates are objected by other registered delegates whose total vote reaches 5% of the total votes of all the registered delegates, they must get the recognition at the World Party Convention. For example, in the table above, registered delegates of China are 591 and each of them has 1 vote. So, they have 591 votes. In case of Assumed Country, registered delegates are 3 and each of them has 0.001 vote. So they have 0.003 vote. At the Convention, if the attending delegates pass the resolution that the objected delegates are recognized, the objected delegates can remain the registered delegates. In this case, abstention is not counted as the vote of attending delegates. For example, the total votes are 201 when the vote in favor of the recognition is 100, the vote against the recognition is 99, and the abstention is 2. In this case, 100 votes in favor are less than 50% of the total votes. But the abstention is not counted and so the total valid vote is 199. So, in this case, 100 votes in favor are more than 50% of total valid votes. Or the objected delegates can remain registered delegates by getting recognition from other registered delegates who have more than 50% of the total vote of registered delegates. In this case, the recognition can be got by getting the document for the recognition from registered delegates. Therefore, in this case, recognition by document can be got without relation with the Convention and the resolution at the Convention is not necessary. The objection to the registered delegates is not accepted from three months before the World Party Convention to the end of convention. Article 9 - Budget and Assets Budget and assets are composed of dues from each branch and donation. Fiscal years is from 1st April to 31st March of next year. If a member branch quits or is dismissed from the World Party, the branch loses its right for the asset. Article 10 - Board of Directors Board of Directors is composed of President, Vice President, treasurer, secretary, spokesman, etc. The Board is convened by the President. The Board decides matters such as budget, date and venue of World Party Convention and Extraordinary World Party Convention, program of convention, etc. All the matters must be recognized at the next World Party Convention. If necessary, President can found other boards or committees and appoint the members of it. Article 11 - Extraordinary World Party Convention Extraordinary World Party Convention is convened when one of the the following conditions is fulfilled.
