Governance
As established by the Charter, the WSandN Organization is governed by three(3) arms namely:
The Assemblies
The World Peace Court and
The General Presidency
These represent the executive, legislative, and judicial branches which symbolize the pillars of democratic governance. Voting procedures are employed to enact policies, guaranteeing fair and inclusive engagement, and ultimately capturing the genuine aspirations of people across the globe.
The Assemblies, which serve as the highest governing authority, consist of five bodies: the General Assembly (GA), also known as the World Congress (WC), the Assembly of Subnationals (AOS), the Assembly of Nations (AON), the Security Assembly (SA), and the Economic Assembly (EA). Each of these bodies operates autonomously within the governance structure and is headed by a president who is elected annually for a term of twelve months, with a maximum of two consecutive terms.
