GOVERNANCE

How we're structured

The Global Left is structured to combine democratic legitimacy, strategic oversight, and operational efficiency within a single institutional framework. Its governance model clearly separates decision-making authority, political leadership, supervision, and implementation, ensuring accountability and transparency at every level.

Global Left Parliament (GLP)

The Global Left Parliament (GLP) is the highest democratic authority of the organisation.It is composed of representatives elected by member parties or national parliamentarians.  

The Parliament:
​​
  • Approves and amends the Constitution
  • Defines the political and strategic direction
  • Establishes thematic committees
  • Elects the President and the College of Commissioners


The GLP provides democratic legitimacy and sets the long-term vision of the organisation.
