CAMDUN Campaign For A More Democratic United Nations Co-founders: Jeffrey Segall (London); Harry Lerner (New York)

Current proposal: World Civil Society Union (WCSU) Archives

CAMDUN was established in 1989 as a project of the International Network For A UN Second Assembly (INFUSA), which was formed in 1983. CAMDUN's main objective remains that of INFUSA - the establishment of an organ of the UN to represent the world's citizens as members of civil society ( a UN peoples' assembly), linked with the UN General Assembly (in which the governments represent the citizens as subjects of the member states). Such bicameral global representation could lead to the UN becoming a 'United Nations and Peoples' for permanent peace. CAMDUN also seeks democratization of other elements of the UN system, in support of individual and collective human rights,  equitable international relations and sustainable development.
