TRP now has consultative status as a Category I NGO in the UN, qualifying it, unlike Greenpeace and many other progressive NGOs, with being able to introduce draft resolutions which may even reach the General Assembly (only 42 NGOs have this status, e.g., the International Red Cross).
Up to now, the TRP has not addressed the challenge of constraining the global power of the transnational corporations and banks, an absence which may reflect its libertarian ideology and tilt to supporting U.S. foreign policy positions.
The World Party is distinguished from the other progressive parties by this only: 1) In the national struggles of progressives in different countries, it points out and brings to the front the common interests of all of humanity, independently of all nationality.

We of the Transnational Radical Party, thus act as a mobilizing and cementing force for parliamentarians of all parties and parliaments on issues such as the UN tribunal for war crimes in ex-Yugoslavia or the abolition of the death penalty by 2000.
