Would a world parliament restrict national sovereignty?

National sovereignty understood as the right and capacity to exercise to self-determination is already restricted. In today’s global society many political questions necessarily need to be regulated transnationally. A world parliament would strengthen political autonomy and accountability as it would enable the peoples to directly participate in international decisions in a democratic way. According to the principle of subsidiarity only such questions should be regulated globally that can and must be effectively dealt with globally.
