Greens reaffirm their condemnation of all dictatorships and regimes which deny human rights, regardless of their political ideology or affiliation of its perpetrators, as well as the use of unilateral military force in international relations.

Greens will work to establish democracy where it does not yet exist, promote its consolidation where it is still fragile and enhance it where it already exists. Greens strive for the kind of participatory democracy in representative systems that acknowledges the importance of civil society and NGOs creating political pressure from outside Parliament.

Green will work to establish global exclusive jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.

Greens favour full democratic rights for citizens, which include:
Ø Universal and secret voting rights;
Ø Directly electing a parliament based on a multiparty system;
Ø Clear division between executive, judicial and legislative powers;
Ø Distinct separation between state and religious institutions.

Greens also support proportional representation that includes all political groups. Greens demand the strengthening of minority and opposition rights in national and regional parliaments, and in parliamentary assemblies like the Inter-Parliamentary Union.

Greens support political systems that include:
Ø Regular competitive elections;
Ø A meaningful range of political parties;
Ø The existence of a lively civil society
Ø Regular alternative governments;
Ø An independent and diversified media.

A long-term Green goal is overcoming the international democracy deficit. This includes greater democratisation of the UN and other international institutions.

Among these reforms, Greens support the creation of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly (UNPA) as a parliamentary body within the UN system. As a first step it should be composed of representatives of national parliaments but it should become a directly elected body. The UNPA should complement the UN General Assembly.

Since the call for a UNPA is a long-term proposal meanwhile we demand that minority and opposition rights in national and regional parliaments and parliamentary assemblies like the Inter-parliamentary Union (IPU) have to be strengthened in order to improve active parliamentarism.

Greens also favour an increased role for civil society and greater access for NGOs in the UN System.
