The Assembly was assigned four objectives :
- to constitute a common agenda
for the entire Alliance, with, in particular, the preparation of the
Proposal Papers
- to enlarge the Alliance considerably, as much in geographic as in
socioprofessional terms
- to submit for debate a Charter
of Human Responsibilities
- to outline, on the basis of the large diversity of concerns, the contents
of a set of Strategies for the Twenty-first Century
Given these four objectives, the Assembly foreshadows a Global Parliament.

Strategies for 21-th century
The sixty Alliance Proposals Papers, resulting
from the Workshops, Socioprofessional Networks and Continental
Assemblies, formulate about 1,500 proposals for change and action
in all realms of human activity, from ethics to governance and
from the economy to the protection of the biosphere. These proposals
are of variable importance and many convergences appeared among
proposals from different sources. They were reorganized around
about twenty axes. At the World Citizens Assembly held in Lille
in December 2001, the work themes were not determined beforehand.
They were deduced on the basis of convergences among the proposals
submitted by twenty Socioprofessional Network workshops, comprising
people operating in similar social and professional spheres-military
personnel, civil servants, family farmers, community activists,
company leaders, trade unionists, artists, scientists and academics,
etc. Seventeen work themes were thus selected and served as
a basis for the thematic sessions of the Assembly. This document
describes and compares the Axes of the Alliance and the themes
discussed by the Assembly.
