We are devoted to continually acquiring new ideas and information about the democratic process and its value to each person and every group. We aim to make such information available to all who are interested. To that end we are presently developing expertise in the methods of applying democratic decision-making at every level of human organization from the individual to the global system.

From the CED video entitled "Democracy In Time:"
As mentioned at the UN Conference in Rio, no nation by itself can sustain the protection of the environment, prevent war, or secure the rights and well-being of its citizens. Each must work in cooperation and in just relationship with other nations. Unfortunately, most international organizations--including the UN--are anything but democratic and most are strongly influenced, through the hierarchies of their nation-state members, by wealthy and powerful special interests.
Proposed Solution: An extension of democratic process into all international organizations, especially the United Nations, and new international standards for labor, environmental protection, and health care will also be necessary to elevate democracy to the next step in its long evolution.
