The Binding Triad (or World Parliament) is a proposal to amend the United Nations Charter to allow the United Nations General Assembly to pass binding resolutions with the approval of a supermajority of members. For a resolution to be binding, it would require the support of nations: *Comprising a majority of members of the United Nations. *Whose combined contributions in dues comprise a majority of the U.N. budget. *Whose combined populations comprise a majority of the world population. The Binding Triad appeals to some world federalists because it could theoretically institute a world government with only one change to the U.N. Charter. However, further amendments would be needed to secure representative government. In addition, it is unclear what impact such a change would have on the role of the United Nations Security Council, which enacts and enforces its own resolutions.
