What would be the relationship between a Parliamentary Assembly and the UN Security Council and the General Assembly?

The Parliamentary Assembly would complement the work of the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly as a consultative body. For example, the assembly could submit recommendations to the General Assembly or the Security Council for further consideration. As the assembly developed credibility and the confidence of the international community it could evolve and be included into decision-making at the UN General Assembly, for instance regarding the adoption of the UN’s budget or the election of the UN Secretary-General. In the long run, as part of a comprehensive reform of the UN, the UN General Assembly and the Parliamentary Assembly could become two chambers of a world parliament.
