Summary image of the theme "Peace in the world with Global Community".

Building global communities require understanding of global problems this generation is facing. There are several major problems: conflicts and wars, no tolerance and compassion for one another, world overpopulation, human activities accelerating dangerously the amount of greenhouse gases in the air, as population increases the respect and value of a human life is in decline, insufficient protection and prevention for global health, scarcity of resources and drinking water, poverty, Fauna and Flora species disappearing at a fast rate, global warming and global climate change, global pollution reaching unhealthy peaks in the air, water and soils, deforestation, permanent lost of the Earth's genetic heritage, and the destruction of the global life-support systems and the eco-systems of the planet. We need to build global communities for all life on the planet. We need to build global communities that will manage themselves with the understanding of the above problems.

Global Community ethics embrace the process of understanding what is truly important for humanity's survival on our planet, and that is living a life with the Scale of Global Rights as the primary guide.

The Scale of Global Rights shows social values in order of importance, and so helps us truly understand the rights of an individual and a community for humanity's survival on our planet.

Seeing the world today, Global Community claims that each of us depends on the well-being of the whole, and so global citizens have respect for the community of living beings, people and all other lifeforms, and plants, and for the preservation of Earth, air, water and soil. And that explains why the protection of the global life-support systems is the most important right on the Scale of Global Rights.

The four interacting circles are quality systems.

The four interacting circles are quality systems. They are used because together they form a neat geometric expression about a complicated intellectual concept. They represent interactions. These interactions occur between the systems and within each individual system. Here same-size circles represent mathematical local/global indicators that have been developed for assessing and measuring sustainable development within four important realities in local/global life. The scale used within the mathematical model reflects the importance of each quality system in ensuring a sound future for Earth. People need a healthy environment and resources for family, community, government, business and industry. Businesses cannot thrive without people and resources. Earth resources need to be managed wisely so they last longer and be of good use for all of us and the next generations. Let us not waste. Let us protect all life. Economic stability depends on people, resources, and good businesses and trade. The Global Economic Model was developed to bring stability. Global Community will help businesses to be part of the solution to the challenges of globalisation. In this way, the private sector in partnership with civil society can help realize a vision: allowing a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy. And all of the above cannot exist without a healthy environment. The four interacting circles are a simplistic expression of our need for one another, our interactions, our symbiotical relationships, and the thoughtless damage we can cause if not careful. We are worlds within worlds orbiting in and through each other’s space. This interaction can be planned and executed in a caring, considerate manner so that all may exist and not destroy the other. The four interacting circles also give us an indication of how difficult it may be to apply Global Justice for all life on the planet, and how difficult it is to include the needs of the next generations in our ways of doing things. It has been necessary to conduct a two decades long Global Dialogue, and longer even, to find a process for the establishment of justice amongst us all. We are now seeing all aspects of life through a single focusing lens we have called Global Law.

Global Parliament Constitution

Global Parliament Constitution

A working Global Parliament Constitution is the only way for us all to guarantee essential services, Justice, and protection to every home. Global Parliament is not a World Government or Earth Government. No! It is the Federation of Global Governments. Global Parliament and its Constitution were researched and developed from fundamental principles as opposed to kitchen recipe types of Constitution that follow a set of instructions for a world parliament of some kind. Or as opposed to using the old USA Constitution with its military overtones to invading the world and lobbyists base democracy.

Some of those principles we developed are "Global Community" and the "Scale of Global Rights". That is what differentiates most our proposal from others. The Federation and its Global Parliament operate as per those principles. The definition of Global Community concept is truly the 21st century "philosophy of life" framework, some called it the religion of the third millennium, others called it the politics of the future generations now.

Federation of Global Governments

Federation of Global Governments

The Federation of Global Governments represents the nations of the world. Candidates to the Federation are elected or appointed by Member Nations. The Federation is the place of meeting between Global Governments. 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.

House of Elected Representatives

The House of Elected Representatives represents Global Community directly and equally. Candidates to the House of Elected Representatives are elected democratically. Representatives shall be elected by direct universal suffrage of all Global Community citizens in free and secret ballot for a term of five years. Representation of the Global Community citizens shall be of one Elected Representative per million people.

House of Advisers

Candidates to the House of Advisers are nominated by teachers, students, or professional organizations. The House of Advisers goal is to represent the highest good and best interests of humanity as a whole.

Earth Executive Council

Members of the Earth Executive Council shall consist of a representative of each Member Nation at ministerial level.

Global Protection Agency (GPA)

Global Protection Agency (GPA)

Building global communities requires a mean to enforce global law that protects all life on Earth.

Global Protection Agency will train and lead a global force, bypassing traditional peacekeeping and military bodies such as the United Nations and NATO. This is a great opportunity for globallateralism.

The Global Protection Agency (GPA) is leading a group of people in the world who participate in:

a)     peacekeeping or peacemaking mission;

b)     creating global ministries for:
1. the policy response to the consequences of the global warming, and
2. the development of strategies to adapt to the consequences of the unavoidable climate change.
c)     enforcing global law;

d)     saving the Earth's genetic heritage;

e)     keeping the world healthy and at peace;

f)     protecting the global life-support systems and the eco-systems of the planet;

g)     dealing with the impacts of: global poverty, lack of drinking water and food, global warming and the global climate change, threat to security, conflicts and wars, lack of good quality soil for agriculture, polluted air, water and land, overcrownded cities, more new and old diseases out of control, widespread drugs, human and Earth rights abuses, world overpopulation, and lack of resources;

h)     broadening the traditional focus of the security of states to include both the security of people as well as that of the planet. Global security policies include:

*     every person on Earth has a right to a secure existence, and all states have an obligation to protect those rights
*     prevention of conflicts and wars; identification, anticipation, and resolving conflicts before they become armed confrontations. The Earth Court of Justice will help here.
*     military force is not a legitimate political instrument
*     weapons of mass destruction are not legitimate instruments of national defence
*     eliminate all weapons of mass destruction from all nations and have inspectors verifying progress to that effect
*     all nations should sign and ratify the conventions to eliminate nuclear, chemical and biological weapons
*     the production and trade in arms should be listed as a criminal act against humanity; this global ministry will introduce a Convention on the curtailment of the arms trade, a provision for a mandatory Arms Register and the prohibition of the financing or subsidy of arms exports by governments
*     the development of military capabilities is a potential threat to the security of people and all life on Earth; the ministry will make the demilitarization of global politics a high priority.
*     anticipating and managing crises before they escalate into armed conflicts and wars
*     maintaining the integrity of the environment and global life-support systems
*     managing the environmental, economic, social, political and military conditions that threatened the security of people and all life on the planet
*     over the past decades and even now today, all Five Permanent Members of the United Nations Security Council (mostly the United States, Russia and Britain) were responsible for selling weapons and war equipment. These three nations are required to give back to Global Community an amount of 8 trillion dollars (American) as a payment for the immense damage they have caused in the world. They have created a culture of violence throughout the world. They are nation bullies, nation predators. They are responsible for economic mismanagement, ethnic tensions, crimes, drug abuse, high unemployment, urban stress, worldwide poverty, and pressures on natural resources. Most conflicts in the world are direct legacies of cold war power politics, senseless politics. Other conflicts were caused by the end of the cold war and the collapse of old regimes. Other factors have combined to increase tension: religious, economical, political, and ethnic aspects. The dollar fine is to be administered by Global Parliament.

The formation of global ministries

Over the past decades, Global Community has been promoting the formation of several global ministries for the proper governance of Earth. Global ministries are world wide organizations just like the World Trade Organization (WTO) for trade and therefore should have the power to rule on cases as that of the WTO.

The formation of global ministries is the most important event in human history. Humanity sees the need to manage the world affairs in several aspects of our lives: energy, agriculture, environment, health, Earth resources, Earth management, security and safety, emergencies and rescues, trade, banks, speculation on world markets, peace, family and human development, water resources protection, youth, education, justice, science and technology, finance, human resources, ethics, global rights, sustainable development, industry, and the manufacturing of products. Global ministries will be given power to rule themselves in harmony with each other.

Global Community has researched and developed several important global ministries:

* Global Ministry of Essential Services Global Ministry of Essential Services

* Ministry of Global Resources Ministry of Global Resources

* Ministry of Global Peace in government Ministry of Global Peace in government

* Earth Environmental Governance Earth Environmental Governance

* Earth Ministry of Health  Earth Ministry of Health

* Global Ministry of Forests Global Forests Ministry

* Global Ministry of Agriculture, Food Production and Distribution  Ministry of Agriculture, Food Production and Distribution

* Global Civilization Ministry of Peace and Disarmament  Global Civilization Ministry  of Peace and Disarmament

* Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs: Global Government of Africa  Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs: Global Government of Africa

* Global Ministry of Water Resources Protection  Global Ministry of Water Resources Protection

* Global Environment Ministry  Ministry of Global Environment

Management of resources

Humanity sees the need to manage world affairs in several aspects of our lives. 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. All of this can be effectively accomplished when the organizational structure of the government of each nation-state includes a Ministry of Global Peace in government and a Global Ministry of Essential Services. We can all co-operate together better this way when all people are prepared and able to do so.

Because of the limited quantities of Earth resources to be made available for this generation and the next ones, and because of environmental, climate change, and world population concerns, there is a need to manage the entire process of managing resources. And we all know that the amount of oil left in the ground in the world has already passed its peak quantity. So why waste the oil on doing things we know are nothing but a waste of energy and often used for destruction and certainly will shorten the life span of the next generations. A Ministry of Global Resources is needed to look after the management of Earth resources at all stages: exploration, production, transportation, manufacturing and distribution.

There is a multitude of diverse Earth resources being taken from the ground and water, carried away for processing, manufacturing, packaging, or used in some form or another by consumers.

Having reached nearly 6.1 billion in year 2000, human population continues to grow. UN population projections for the year 2050 range from 7.9 billion to 10.9 billion, suggesting the extent to which we can influence our future. More people and higher incomes worldwide are multiplying humanity's impacts on the environment and on the natural resources that are essential to life. The planet's fresh water, fisheries, forests and atmosphere are already strained to their safe limits for global survival.

Based on these trends, it is clear that the 21st century will witness even greater pressures on natural resources. Young people increasingly want to wait to have children and to have smaller families. Policymakers have a choice. They can do nothing, or they can help ensure that in the 21st century the world's population peaks with fewer than 8 billion people, simply by committing the financial resources to meet the needs of couples who want to have smaller families later in life.

The future of the relationship between people and critical natural resources has begun to appear more hopeful than it has for some time. Unfortunately, human population growth continues, meaning that more people will be sharing such finite resources as freshwater and cropland. And in some regions – notably in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia – large families and early pregnancies provide strong momentum for population growth that could continue for generations to come.

It is important to manage the Earth resources in the following aspects:

1 Air
2 Water
3 Mining
4 Electromagnetic waves
5 Fisheries
6 Tourism
7 Environment
8 Forests
9 Soils
10 Fossil fuels

Global Peace Earth



Ministry of Global Peace in government

Over the past decades we have shown that peace in the world and the survival and protection of all life on our planet go hand in hand. Asking for peace in the world means doing whatever is necessary to protect life on our planet. Protecting life implies bringing about the event of peace in the world. Let our time be a time remembered for a new respect for life, our determination to achieve sustainability, and our need for global justice and peace.

Our Global Peace Mouvement is about the courage to live a life in a harmonious peace order and showing by example, thus preventing poverty, wars, terror and violence. We need to educate the coming generations with good principles, being compassionate, social harmony and global sustainability being some of them.

Soul of all Life said in Global Peace Earth "Soul of all Life teaching about Peace: Introduction"

Peace is being who you are without fear. It is the "being who you are" who must be taught a value based on principles to live by. Only principles described in Global Law are necessary and required to attain Peace in the world.
