The International Legislature
The International Legislature
This chapter explores the institutions and institutional changes needed to meet the human rights demands, focusing on the international legislative function. It begins by reviewing the functions of a legislature and then turns to the differences between national and international methods of lawmaking, as well as the differences in other legislative roles such as fiscal governance and oversight. The chapter concludes by discussing difficulties facing effective international legislative representation, and recommends special-purpose interparliamentary bodies as the most effective immediate international constitutional goal.
