The peoples of all Nations, in creating an ever closer Global Parliament among
them, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values. Conscious
of its spiritual and moral heritage, Global Parliament is founded on
the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and
solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law.
It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing
the Global Community citizenship of Global Parliament and by creating
an era of freedom, security and justice.
Global Parliament contributes
to the preservation and to the development of these common values while
respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of
all Nations as well as the national identities of Member Nations and the
organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local
levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures
free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, and the freedom of
establishment. To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection
of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress
and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more
visible in this Constitution.
Global Parliament's Constitution reaffirms, with due regard for the powers
and tasks of Global Parliament and the principle of subsidiarity, the
rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions
and international obligations common to Member Nations, the Scale of Social Values, or Scale of Global Rights,
adopted by Global Parliament and by the Global Council of all Nations
and the case law of the Earth Court of Justice of Global Parliament and of the
Global Court of Global Rights. Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities
and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future
generations. Global Parliament therefore recognises the rights, freedoms
and principles set out hereafter.
We the Peoples of the Global Community are reaffirming faith in the fundamental human rights, in the dignity and
worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and smalll. We the Peoples
implies every individual on Earth. Earth management and good governance is now a priority and a duty of every responsible person on Earth. The
Global Community has taken action by calling the Divine Will into our lives and following its guidance.
Divine Will is now a part of the Soul of Humanity to be used for the higher purpose of good and Life's evolution.
We will learn to serve humanity and radiate the Will of God to others. We will establish conditions under which justice and
respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and we promote
social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.
The spiritual belief, universal values, principles and aspirations of the Global Community will be attained by:
* practicing tolerance and living together in peace and harmony with one another as neighbours,
* promoting the economic and social advancement of all peoples,
* maintaining peace and security in the world by using negotiations and peaceful means,
* finding unity in diversity with all Life,
* establishing the respect for the life-support system of the planet,
* keeping Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things, and
* applying the principle that when there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible,
which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.
Global Parliament primary goal and focus are including only a few aspects of the original work done that produced the Global Constitution. Global Parliament's Constitution itself
gives the highest priority to the following aspects:
* essential services
* the Judiciary
* the Global Protection Agency (GPA)
* Global Ministries
to manage the needs of the Peoples of Member States.
These four aspects are a part of the Global Movement to Help of the Global Community. From now on we serve the people of all nations, all life on Earth.
Each Global Government is made more responsible and accountable to the people of member nations within the region where it operates.
Essential services to the people of each member nation are now the most important global rights on the Scale of Global Rights and are protected by the
Global Protection Agency (GPA) of each member nation.
This Movement is described here. First the meaning of the Global Community expression was defined back in 1985. All Global Citizens are a part of
this Global Community and have accepted the Criteria of the Global Citizenship.
We are all volunteer soldiers
of the Global Community Peace Movement.
This Global Movement to Help offers Essential Services to serve the people of all nations, all life on Earth.
As a first step to getting help, all nations can and should approve the first three sections on the Scale of Global Rights.
The approval would supersede the political and physical borders of participating member nations. The approval would mean politics and justice without borders only
concerning those three sections, i.e essential services.
The Global Protection Agency (GPA) would have the approval from all member nations to give immediate help, bypassing normal government protocols.
Somewhat like an emergency unit but at the global level. That is what those first three sections on the Scale of Global Rights
mean. They represent an efficient and immediate emergency response to help.
First, participating member nations need to give their approval to the GPA.
The GPA is a global organization much like the World Trade Organization (WTO) for trade between nations, the World Health Organization (WHO) for health,
or the European Union, North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), South American Community of Nations (SACON) for trade and economics.
The GPA offers an efficient emergency response to help.
The GPA is a short term solution, an immediate and efficient response to help. There are also long term solutions. As with the short term solution, the most significant long term solution is also related to
the Scale of Global Rights. The Scale was entrenched is Federation's Constitution and is thus the fundamental guide to Global Law.
Now the Scale of Global Rights is a long term solution and is also a part of the Global Movement to Help of the Global Community.
The Scale was designed to help all life on Earth. What would be preferable is that nations unite amongst themselves to help.
Over time, we have seen the creation of the United Nations, the European
Union, the South American Community of Nations, and the North American Free Trade Agreement. Except for the UN, these organizations are mainly concerned with trade and economics.
The Global Community offers a more meaningful union in the form of nine or more Global Governments. For instance the South American Community of Nations can be
a Global Government by simply accepting Global Parliament's Constitution as a way of dealing between member nations. A Global Government is concerned not only with economics and trade,
but also with the environment, health, agriculture, education, energy, food, social, cultural and many other essential aspects.
The Federation of Global Governments is the place of meeting between Global Governments.
The very first step of Global Parliament, and maybe the only one for several decades ahead of us, would be the approval of essential services amongst the participating member nations. The Global
Community has researched and developed such services and listed them here. All of them are already in operation on a small scale.
We want each Global Government to take a larger share of responsibility of the specific region where it operates, and be more accountable to the people of that region.
And we want a Global Government to be made of wealthy nations as well as nations in need of help. Be compassionate. Each Global Government is obliged to
offer Essential Services to the people of its member nations.
Global Parliament is now applying more emphasis on the urgent need from the people of all nations to give everyone essential services.
The urgent need to give all Global Citizens essential services was made obvious in the past few years after the occurrence of natural disasters, and by
global destruction and disasters created by governments and the military.
The Global Community has already declared a planetary state of emergency to that effect.
Today, earquakes, cyclones and other natural disasters, as well as human made global destruction and disasters, require a rapid and efficient response from the world to help those in needs. We need to be organized and ready to help.
We need all nations to be a part of this Global Movement to Help.
In the chaos after the magnitude 7.9 earthquake in China, which made 5 million homeless, many survivors were separated from their families.
Burma was hit by a cyclone at the beginning of the month of May, leaving over two million persons in need of emergency relief.
Thousands of children and parents have been separated. Nowadays, natural and human made disasters have become more frequent and require a rapid response to help.
The Global Community offers both a short term solution and a long term solution to the people of all nations.
Both solutions have been integrated into the Scale of Global Rights ,
itself a necessary first step which must be approved by all of us.
What we offer to the people of all nations is to guarantee rights of Sections 1, 2, and 3 on the Scale of Global Rights.
We serve all people of the Global Community, the people of all nations, all life on Earth, much like an emergency unit would do on a global level.
Concerning Sections 1, 2, and 3, it shall be the Global Community highest priority to guarantee these rights to their respective Member Nations and to have proper legislation and
implement and enforce global law as it applies and as shown in Global Parliament's Constitution.
Section 1. Global [ Ecological, environmental, protection of life-support systems ] rights
Section 2. Primordial human rights
- safety and security
-
have shelter
-
'clean' energy
-
a 'clean' and healthy environment
-
drink fresh water
-
breath clean air
-
eat a balance diet
-
basic clothing
-
universal health care and education, and
-
employment for all
Section 3. The Global [ Ecological, environmental, protection of life-support systems ] rights, and the primordial human rights of future generations
Those are our essential services.
The GPA is a global organization much like the World Trade Organization (WTO) for trade between nations, the World Health Organization (WHO) for health,
or the European Union, North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), South American Community of Nations (SACON) for trade and economics.
The GPA offers an efficient emergency response to help.
The GPA is a short term solution, an immediate and efficient response to help. There are also long term solutions. As with the short term solution, the most significant long term solution is also related to
the Scale of Global Rights. The Scale was entrenched in the Global Constitution and is thus a fundamental guide to Global Law.
The work of the Global Community, the global civil society, and the determination of government worldwide, make it possible for everyone to comply with Global Law. Building global communities requires a mean to enforce Global Law
for the protection of life on Earth.
Global Civilization guides humanity for the building of global communities. This is a great opportunity for globallateralism. Global Law includes legislation covering all essential aspects of human activities.
The Global Protection Agency (GPA) will train and lead a global force, bypassing traditional peacekeeping and military bodies such as the United Nations and NATO. The GPA will enforce the law. And that is a long term solution
to the planetary state of emergency
we offer the Global Community. And that is also how we can stop the global warming of the planet and protect the global life-support systems, thus largely improving the quality of life of the next generations.
As we enact Global Law, we will begin to take on a much deeper kind of global leadership, one that earns more respect than envy and more gratitude than hatred, one that can catapult the whole planet forward into a future where war is
no longer thinkable between nation-states and a legitimate and beneficial global government is able to cope with global problems.
Global Rights year one
is a new impetus of the Global Community to educate everyone about the
need for a change in thinking and of doing things amongst all nations.
We need to realize what is a priority, what is the most important, and
what is the least important for our survival. We need to make hard choices.
We need a clear vision. We need a common vision. And we must all change!
There are many important aspects of our lives we can no longer do, or should
never do anymore. They are destructive. Humanity and all life can no longer
afford activities that destroy life and the global environment. And there
are other activities we must do, certainly thousands of them, to assure
the survival of life on Earth. In view of the planetary state of emergency
we all must change, we must do things differently to give life on Earth
a better survival chance.
The
Global Community Global Justice Movement along with the
Global Community Peace Movement
have been and continue to be the two major pillars of the
Global Movement to Help.
The Global Justice Movement has many inter-related components: monetary, social, economic, environmental, democracy, and peace.
The Global Community Global Justice Movement promotes new thinking to benefit all economies and societies – the true, fair, democratic and efficient solution to poverty.
The Global Community has the productive resources to eliminate poverty and injustice. Humanity is now in the process of developing the democratic and transparent communications
infrastructure which can bring this about.
Our approach transcends left-wing/right-wing designations. We see both conventional capitalism and socialism as being two arms of a philosophy which concentrate power in an
elite, to the detriment of society as a whole. Reforming the current money system, to empower each and every person, is a first step for justice.
The
Global Community Global Justice Movement stands for:
1. Each person has the right to have warmth, clean air, clean water, food and housing, along with access to a quality health and educational system.
2. Every person should be respected, equal, free and able to choose their own destiny.
3. Everyone should be able to fulfill their full emotional, intellectual and spiritual potential.
4. Every person must respect the rest of creation and take responsibility for preserving the environment including the fauna and flora, all of which are interdependent
and share a divine origin with humanity.
5. The inalienable rights of the individual include the rights of life, liberty, access to productive property, truly free markets, and equal justice before the law.
6. Global Economic System that is fair for all.
7. It is the duty of democratic government to secure the results the people want from the transparent management of their public affairs, as far as such results do not
infringe on the rights of the individual.
8. The Global Community Global Peace Movement is about educating ourselves to engage in personal diplomacy in another country. We are given
opportunities to meet and listen to some of the leading authorities on such subjects as humanitarian
and volunteerism, education, politics, historical, social and cultural perspectives, conflict management, teamwork, world affairs, community involvement, and religion.
9. Global Justice for all Life on the planet and it is about:
* establishing respect for human and Earth rights;
* implementing a global regulatory framework for capitals and corporations that emphasizes global corporate ethics, corporate social
responsibility, protection of human and Earth rights, the environment, community and family aspects, safe working
conditions, fair wages and sustainable consumption aspects;
* establishing freshwater and clean air as primordial human rights;
* practicing tolerance and living together in peace and harmony with one another as neighbours;
* promoting the economic and social advancement of all peoples;
* maintaining peace and security in the world by using negotiations and peaceful means;
* finding unity in diversity with all Life;
* establishing the respect for the life-support system of the planet;
* keeping Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things, and
* applying the principle that when there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as
opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.
The Global Community has shown that corporate-style globalization that ignores the needs of the poor and the environment will no longer be tolerated. The Global Community
is joining students, environmentalists, people of faith, human rights activists, and others, in the global struggle against corporate
globalization being fought in cities and towns across the world.
We works on issues of global economic and social justice and sustainability. We believe another world is possible and necessary. We envision a world free of corporate
domination and crushing debt, particularly in communities of color. We act to expose and change the institutionalized violence wrought by international financial and
trade institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and World Trade Organization.
Cancel all impoverished country debt to the World Bank and IMF, using the institutions' own resources.
End all World Bank and IMF policies that hinder people's access to food, clean water, shelter, health care, education, and right to organize.
(Such "structural adjustment" policies include user fees, privatization, and so-called economic austerity programs).
Stop all World Bank support for socially and environmentally destructive projects such as oil, gas, and mining activities, and all support for projects such as dams that
include forced relocation of people.
We are committed to nonviolence and recognizes militarism as a tool used by the global corporate elite to keep money flowing to the privileged few while restricting the
rights of people worldwide. We oppose corporate practice which places short-term profits ahead of human dignity, sustainable development and a healthy earth. We stand for
the globalization of our rights to speech, thought, religion, assembly, a clean environment, self-determination, freedom from fear and persecution and freedom
from poverty.
We stand for the rights of women, children, elderly, affordable health care, strong labor rights and social and economic policies that put people and the environment before
profits. We are opposed to the globalization of greed and obscene concentrations of wealth -- we say that
another world is possible and necessary.
The Global Community
is a non-hierarchical nonviolent organization of individuals and organizations that promotes the arts, conducts workshops, facilitates nonviolent direct actions,
educates, organizes, campaigns, empowers, and aims to rip injustice from its roots.
Realizing that:
* the Global Community today has come to a turning point in history,
and that we are on the threshold of new global order leading to an era of peace, prosperity, justice and harmony;
* there is an interdependence of people, nations and all life;
* humanity's abuse of science and technology has brought the Global Community
to the brink of disaster through the production of weaponry of
mass destruction and to the brink of ecological and social catastrophe;
* the traditional concept of security through military
defense is a total illusion both for the present and for future generations;
* misery and conflicts have caused an ever increasing disparity
between rich and poor;
* we, as Peoples, are conscious of our obligation to posterity to save the Global Community from
imminent and total annihilation;
* the Global Community is One despite the existence of diverse nations, races, creeds, ideologies and cultures,
* the principle of unity in diversity is the basis for a new age when war shall be outlawed and peace prevail;
when the earth's total resources shall be equitably used for human welfare; and when basic global rights, responsibilities and accountabilities shall
be shared by all without discrimination; and
* the greatest hope for
the survival of life on Earth is the establishment of a democratic Federation of Global
Governments.
We, citizens of the Global Community, hereby resolve to establish
a federation of all nations, the Federation, to govern in accordance with this Constitution.
The purposes of the Federation for the
Global Community are to:
1. maintain international peace and security in conformity with the principles of justice and
global law;
2. promote friendly relations among nations, individuals and communities based on:
* respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of Peoples; and
* symbiotical relationships;
3. promote global co-operation to:
* find sound solutions to economic, social, cultural, humanitarian, local and global community problems;
and
* establish respect for global rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to
race, sex, language, or religion.
4. be a home and a global community centre to all nations, people and local communities and help them harmonize their
actions to achieve their common goals.
5. promote worldwide awareness of:
