PNND is governed by a Council which includes representatives from amongst the countries in which PNND has active membership. The Council is led by Co-Presidents. The Council also includes Special Members, Alumni Members and ex oficio members.
PNND also establishes national sections in countries where there is significant cross-party membership and national action. 
PNND holds annual assemblies, resources permitting, which include a parliamentary forum and a meeting of the Council, which adopts the program for the subsequent period, and affirms the Co-Presidents and other Council Members.
PNND activities are implemented by its Co-Presidents, Council Members, regular members and PNND staff – both paid and voluntary.
PNND is registered in the United States as a program of the Global Security Institute, and in Switzerland as a program of the Basel Peace Office.
