The Binding Triad is a proposal to amend the United Nations Charter to allow the United Nations General Assembly to pass binding resolutions with the approval of a supermajority of members. For a resolution to be minding, it would require the support of nations:
- Comprising a majority of members of the United Nations.
- Whose combined contributions in dues comprise a majority of the U.N. budget.
- Whose combined populations comprise a majority of the world population.
The Binding Triad appeals to some world federalists because it could theoretically institute a world government with only one change to the U.N. Charter. However, further amendments would be needed to secure representative government.
