Two Tracks (Realistic)
Track A — Immediate:
NGO status with consultative status at ECOSOC.
This provides access to the UN (written and oral statements, participation in sessions), but does not create binding obligations for states.
Track B — Strategic Goal:
An intergovernmental Charter/Declaration on the revival of the League.
This creates a new intergovernmental organization or a recognized “public chamber” attached to it, with direct democracy.
This is the “treaty-based” recognition that transforms political weight into legally significant authority.
Precedent of special recognition of an NGO:
The ICRC (a private entity under Swiss law) received observer status at the UN General Assembly in 1990 due to its mandate under the Geneva Conventions — an example that even a non-state actor can acquire international “political audibility” if recognized by states.

What “Treaty-Based” Recognition of the Revived League Gives to People
A legitimate channel of influence:
The decisions of your direct democracy are converted into mandates of a recognized international organization (which founding states undertake to take into account).
Access to UN processes and conferences of parties as an intergovernmental structure / observer, rather than merely as an NGO.
The ability to conclude agreements with states (missions, monitoring, mediation), to receive privileges and immunities for personnel, and to secure sustainable funding.
Real normative impact:
States may assume obligations to respond to your resolutions (for example, to consider them in parliament or at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs within a fixed time frame).
