Parliamentary assembly

A parliamentary assembly is part of many international organizations. Examples include:
*European Parliamentary Assembly (now the European Parliament)
*NATO Parliamentary Assembly (NATO-PA)
*Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE)
*Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
*United Nations Parliamentary Assembly (UNPA) (proposed)
*Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM)There is also a much called for but not yet achieved parliamentary assembly of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Parliamentary assemblies are often referred to as Inter-Parliamentary Institutions when they are made up of parliamentarians appointed by member nations. When they are made up of directly elected delegates, they are often referred to as parliaments.

Since 1949, more than 40 parliamentary assemblies have been brought into being. [http://www.swp-berlin.org/de/common/get_document.php?asset_id=4299]
