Chapter 8: Specifics of the Organization of the World Commonwealth - Part 2 -

8.1. Non-bureaucratic administration

The flaw inherent in current international organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union is bureaucracy. These organizations do not have inherent sovereignty, but because of this, political positions tend to become honorary, and they have a tendency for bureaucrats to take over the practical aspects of the organization.

The World Commonwealth, as a transnational organization, must be free from such bureaucracy. As we have seen in the previous article, the reason why the World Commonwealth is based on the World Commons' Convention is to eliminate bureaucracy and thoroughly implement administration by the Commons with the Commons' Convention at its core.

The World Commons' Convention will be composed of delegates elected by each Zonal Commons' Convention, but these delegates are not bureaucratic diplomats, but rather political officials with democratic foundations who will play a central role in its operations. In addition, the Conference of the Grand-Zonal Permanent Representatives Plenipotentiary described in the previous article will act as the executive body of the World Commonwealth, guaranteeing actual authority to political officials in terms of execution as well.

Not only that, but the specific organizational structure will also aim for a non-bureaucratic operation. The Secretariat will not be an independent main organization, but will be refined into a literally practical organization that will handle the affairs of the World Commonwealth under the World Commons' Convention, and its head, the Chief Secretary, will have no authority beyond that of a practical manager.

Furthermore, the major organs in each field will not have a vertical structure like the current UN, where the Security Council and Economic and Social Council are established in parallel with the General Assembly, but will be established as permanent councils of the World Commons' Convention which has the same status as the General Assembly. Therefore, the representatives of the member Zones that run these major organs will be served concurrently by Zonal delegates to the World Commons' Convention.

In reality, the general staff of the World Commonwealth Secretariat, each major organ, and other affiliated organs are a kind of bureaucrat as civil servants of the World Commonwealth, but the number of these practical staff will be kept to a minimum, allowing delegates to the World Commons' Convention to exercise actual authority.

7.4. The Conference of the Grand-Zonal Permanent Representatives Plenipotentiary

The current organizational structure of the United Nations has no equivalent to an executive body, which is a major weakness in the UN's leadership in dealing with global issues.

Although there is a Secretariat led by the First Secretary, it is essentially a bureaucratic system, and the First Secretary is appointed by the General Assembly on the recommendation of the Security Council, which is controlled by the five major powers, and serves more as a general representative of the five major powers, so the UN Secretariat's executive character is weak.

On the other hand, the G8 (G7) Summit functions as a kind of international executive body outside the UN framework, but deciding international issues over the head of the UN with a biased composition centered on economic powers is oligarchic and undemocratic. Therefore, the world needs a democratic executive body that guarantees greater fairness.

The Commons' Convention at the Zonal level is itself a decision-making body as well as an executive body, but since the World Commons' Convention, which will be the decision-making body of the World Commonwealth, is made up of Zones from all over the world, it is difficult to adopt such a centralized structure. Therefore, the executive body of the World Commonwealth must be established separately from the Commons' Convention.

There are various ways to achieve this, but for the time being, it seems that the most simple and appropriate would be to have the conference made up of the Grand-Zonal representatives from the five Grand-Zones mentioned last time, the Conference of the Grand-Zonal Permanent Representatives Plenipotentiary, serve as the World Commonwealth's executive body.

There are various possibilities for the position and election method of the Grand-Zonal Representatives, but simply appointing the Chairperson of the Commons' Convention as the representative, as is done at the Zonal level, does not seem appropriate given the importance of its role in dealing with world issues, so the Permanent Plenipotentiaries selected by the Grand-Zonal Commons' Convention will be the Grand-Zonal representative. The conference of the Grand-Zonal representatives will therefore be composed of these five Permanent Representatives Plenipotentiary.

The Conference of the Grand-Zonal Permanent Representatives Plenipotentiary will be tasked with submitting draft treaties to the World Commons' Convention (World Commonwealth General Assembly) and ensuring the implementation of established world treaties, as well as discussing and deciding on response policies for emergency issues such as major disasters, infectious disease pandemics, and civil conflicts.

The Secretariat will be established as a subsidiary organ to the General Assembly, which will also assist the Conference of the Grand-Zonal Permanent Representatives Plenipotentiary and coordinate with other organs (details will be given in the next chapter).
