International Network for a United Nations Second Assembly

International Network for a United Nations Second Assembly

The International Network for a United Nations Second Assembly, or INFUSA, is an organization devoted to the establishment of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly. According to Citizens for a United Nations People's Assembly, "In 1982, during the second UN Special Session on Disarmament, Jeffrey Segall presented a proposal for a study on 'a UN Second or Peoples Assembly' which became the basis for an International Network for a UN Second Assembly (INFUSA). From 1988 to 1995 INFUSA and the Association of World Citizens collaborated on a series of annual conferences in New York, San Francisco, Vienna and back in New York" [http://www.sf-pa.org/history.htm] . INFUSA once numbered more than 100 organizations [http://www.peacemagazine.org/archive/v07n1p28.htm] . Campaign for a Democratic United Nations, or CAMDUN, started out as an INFUSA project. Both, INFUSA and CAMDUN are largely defunct.

CAMDUN

The Campaign for a Democratic United Nations, or "CAMDUN", was established in 1989 as a project of the International Network for a United Nations Second Assembly. Many democratic nations do not support it because they fear dictatorships may control it.
