George Soros on the Binding Triad

In two of his books, George Soros has praised the Binding Triad system for global decision-making.

The Crisis of Global Capitalism:
Open Society Endangered

"The General Assembly is a talking shop at present. It could become more like a legislature in charge of making laws for our global society. An assembly of sovereign states may be ill-suited to carry out executive functions but it is eminently qualified to serve as an international legislature... There could be a triple test, namely two thirds of the countries, two thirds of the population, and two thirds the UN budget.*"

"*"The Binding Triad" as proposed by Richard Hudson, director of the Center for War/Peace Studies in New York."

Open Society:
Reforming Global Capitalism

"How could the Alliance reform the United Nations? It would introduce majority rule and convert the General Assembly into a legislative body... What would constitute a qualified majority? I have found the idea of the "binding triad" proposed by Richard Hudson in connection with the United Nations very appealing... A qualified majority would be constituted by two-thirds of the member countries, two-thirds of their population, and two-thirds of their gross domestic product."
