 1994 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Effective access to the political system is important not only as a right in and of itself, but as an additional guarantee of the respect for other human rights.
Rules and procedures vary from state to state, but a major party is generally one that has achieved a certain level of support at a recent election and thus qualifies to have its nominees automatically placed on the ballot.
In expanding the definition of "political function", the Court reasoned that, as states have the authority to limit the political community, a state may exclude aliens from positions relating to "the right of the people to be governed by their citizen peers," particularly where the position involves discretionary decision-making or execution of policy.

 Political News & Analysis
The philosophy of the Libertarian Party is essentially freedom of the individual to pursue any course of action free from constraint by government provided exercise of such freedom does not infringe upon the freedom of other individuals.
Even within the United States, all political parties other than our own grant to government the right to regulate the lives of individuals and seize the fruits of their labor without their consent.
As private voluntary groups, political parties should be allowed to establish their own rules for nomination procedures, primaries, and conventions.
