The Campaign for a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly (CUNPA) was formed in 2007 by Democracy Without Borders (formerly Committee for a Democratic UN). The campaign is composed of a global network of parliamentarians, non-governmental organizations, and scholars advocating for elected representatives, rather than just states, to play a direct and influential role in shaping global policy. Since its formation, the CUNPA has advocated for the implementation of such an assembly. As of June 2017, the campaign has received the support of over 1,600 members of parliament from over 100 countries worldwide.
