The World Forum (WF) is an international organisation created to facilitate multilateral discussion and agreements, and to serve as a channel to consolidate separate resources in times of great need. Its member states work together to foster social, economic, and environmental development.

The constitutive document of the WF was drafted in a global conference in Grovne, Sedunn in March 2017. The charter has been ratified by 298 nations, which are thereby considered members of the World Forum and have a seat in the Assembly. Three more nations are considered observers of the World Forum and may speak at meetings of the Assembly also. To assist the Assembly, there are five special committees and the International Court. The Assembly has its seat in the World Forum Headquarters in Grovne, Sedunn.

Background

Former attempts to create intergovernmental organisations

Since after the Great War ended, many nations in Pacifica were expressing their will to work for continued peace and stability within the region. This happened mostly through embassy programs on the one hand and isolationism on the other. Friendly "battles" between the former enemies like in the Football World Championships organised by the IUFA every four years, or common scientific research conducted e.g. in the CPSC were based on this intention.
All these projects might have played a role in the long-lasting Pacifican peace that exists since 1955, but all of these were never economical or political projects. Tensions between nations slowly became more difficult to solve again, especially in a world of nations with many different approaches to tackle domestic and global issues.

As such the idea of a global forum to mediate between those different approaches was not new, however the system was. Organisations like the South Pacific Treaty Organisation, the Southern Cooperation Organisation, the Collective Economic and Security Treaty Alliance or the Southern Socialist Union were based heavily on the same ideology of its member nations, had very exclusive criteria for potential new members and overall had more of a goal to spread the influence of certain nations than to actually serve as an independent and inclusive discussion forum for the entirety of Pacifica. The resulting ineffectiveness of those organisations to answer on global political issues swiftly and with a strong, united voice got criticised by most members sometimes only shortly after joining the respective alliance.

When the Grovne Conference was proposed by the king of Sedunn, the participants expected an organisation to be formed, which works for world peace through cooperation, diplomacy and intercultural understanding. With that the region shall get relieved from any possible future tensions. Furthermore the ineffectiveness of former alliances was not supposed to get reproduced by imposing an organisational structure, which prevents the forum from becoming inactive on the one hand and from getting dominated by an elite group of nations on the other.

OutcomeFoundation of the World Forum by the signing of the Charter of the World Forum

On 3 March 2017 King Vimmru II of Sedunn sent a letter to all nations of Pacifica inviting to a conference on a forum, which deals with global political issues. This inivitation got accepted by the heads of state of ten nations, who gathered on 16 March 2017 in the Tillava Old Factory, which is situated at the Setru River near Grovne. The emperor of the Frost Empire, Iroh F. Firenze, as well as the king of Resentine couldn't attend the meeting due to poor health. Anyhow their nations got represented by the president, foreign minister and an imperial aide, or the prime minister respectively.

The idea of a diplomatic global forum was interpreted highly different by all participants. Most notable were the suggestions made by the Federated States of Omega, the United Kingdom of Qvait and Winston Island and Sedunn. Thomas Winston, Elector Primo of the FSoO, presented the idea of a peace promoting organisation, that solely enforces international laws on sovereignity and war. This idea was met well especially by countries like the Frost Empire or the Peocracy of Huawan, which were afraid of the World Forum becoming a world government stripping its members from their national sovereignity against the will of the local population.
Margaret Harrison, chancellor of the United Kingdom of Qvait and Winston Island, stood in contrast to this opinion. In her view as a "post-nationalist" modern politics should not rely on sovereign nations anymore and the forum should set its members onto the path of a world government, which also introduces minimum legislation in the economic and social political sector. This idea got opposed by all participants though, the opposition often getting reasoned with the Qvaitican vision being too ambitious and unrealistic.
The Sedunnic king tried to propose a compromise to the nations on either end of the argumentative spectrum, that would later set the basis of the formulated charter. From his point of view the forum shall provide frameworks for national legislation on global issues based on findings of experts in fields like conflict arbitration, environment and climate protection, and emergency catastrophe relief. This proposal also included the Frost and Erinoran suggestion to include the battle against climate change and environmental pollution on the list of tasks all member nations would need to tackle together.
Additions to the proposed framework came mainly from the Ryccian and Huawanian delegations, who wanted to make sure, the forum will also establish peace keeping troops and ensure the health of all member nations.

In the evening of the 17 March 2017 King Vimmru II was able to announce a breakthrough in the discussions to the press. All participants agreed that the forum shall consist of an assembly made up of ambassadors from each member nation, expert committees supporting the assembly in their work, and an international court settling any (inter)national disputes voluntarily submitted to it. The forum shall facilitate multilateral discussions and agreements aiming for adopting broad-consensus-based suggestions for local legislations, monitore the fulfillment of those agreements and consolidate the members' separate resources in times of great need like natural disasters and famines.

On 19 March 2017 the ten participants of the Grovne Conference signed the charter, that lead to the foundation of the World Forum, and voted in favour of the Five Continent Seal as logo of the World Forum. The establishment of the position of Speaker of the World Forum followed in November 2017, which opened the path to the establishment of the committees (February 2020) and the international court (May 2020).

Structure

Headquarters and the Assembly

Shortly after the success of the conference the Sedunnic government announced, that architect Harr Onnienn will be responsible building the headquarters of the newly founded World Forum near Tillava in the municipality of Grovne. Seen from the top, the design resembles highly the five continent seal.

The building consists of five towers connected by a ring, built entirely out of stainless steel and glass. The maximum number of floors is 17, three of which are located underground. The headquarters provide offices for all delegations, a restaurant and recreation centre, a conference hall and the assembly hall.

Overview on the technical details of the WF HQ

In the latter the delegations of all member nations, mostly only consisting of an official ambassador of a country and its office staff, discuss topics of global political importance and vote on voluntarily adopting legislation.

Committees

The charter of the World Forum formulated the necessity of expert committees, so Assembly decisions could be backed by expert suggestions. Furthermore these suborganisations will focus on a certain political field, which results in more effective and efficient monitoring of the members and their adherence to WF-legislation.

The first speaker of the Assembly, Christian Strunk opened discussion on the establishment of the committees on 6 January 2018, almost two months after being elected to the speakership position.
The first round of debates ended in July 2018 without a result.

1 1/2 years later, on 19 January 2020, the newly elected speaker - again Christian Strunk - reopened the debate to the Assembly by proposing a draft titled "Resolution 1a - Establishment of the Committees". The draft did not get changed in further discussion and was voted upon on 29 January 2020. The vote passed on 4 February 2020 with 88% voting in favour of the draft.

Based on the agreement of the partcipants of the Grovne Conference, it was decided, that there are five committees:

Each committee is presented to the Assembly by an Officer, who gets voted on in parallel to the speakership elections. They lead the debate in their committees, present the committees' results to the Assembly and can create, merge, divide or dissolve their Councils, effectively the "committees of the Committees".

International Court

Shortly after the establishment of the Committees, Strunk was starting discussions on the Court, which got defined by the WF's charter as a place, where vountarily submitted international disputes get settled, if arbitration is necessary. These talks ended with Resolution 1b - Establishment of the International Court being passed on 10 May 2020.

The International Court is located in Petrovka, Karnetvor and is represented by an entirely neutral head justice the members of the IC have voted on. Each member has the right to get represented by one judge in the board of justices. Those judges get appointed and approved for one year by the Assembly during the speakership elections. In any case brought to the IC by a nation, region within a nation, international organisation, enterprise or individual involved in a dispute, only a board of five judges administers justice. The Speaker needs to assure, this board acts completely neutral. To prosecute members not complying with international law defined by the Grovne conventions and the rulings of the IC, the Court shall get supported by peacekeeping troops. A member may voluntarily decide on whether they support peacekeeping missions with troops, material, money or other goods, or not at all.
