Return to Global Dialogue 2024
Since year 1985, Global Community has organized the Global Dialogue to probe the Peoples of the world, people from all nations, as to what it will take to make
living on Earth sustainable, now and for the next generations. Results were published in our Proceedings.
Global Rights year one is new impetus of 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 a clear vision. We need a common
vision. And we must all change! There are many important aspects of our lives we can 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.
And this is what Global Rights year one is about: to establish global fundamentals and a clear vision to follow.
Perhaps the Scale of Human and Earth Rights represents the strongest pillar of our vision.

In 1985, the Scale of Human and Earth Rights was first proposed as a replacement to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. After several decades of research and development,
many global dialogues, we still find the Scale as the best solution to global problems. The Scale has now been titled the Scale of Global Rights.
Today, we are presenting once more the Scale as the best educating tool to bring about the change the people of the world need to achieve for their own survival.

the values referred to in Chapter I to Chapter X inclusive, and are committed to promoting them
together.
2. Any Nation which wishes to become a member of Earth Government
shall address its application to the Earth Executive Council. The Global Parliament
and Member Nations' national Parliaments shall be notified of this application.
The Earth Executive Council shall act unanimously after consulting the Ministry of the Global Judiciary
and after obtaining the consent of Global Parliament. The conditions
and arrangements for admission shall be the subject of an agreement between
Member Nations and the candidate Nation. That agreement shall be subject
to ratification by each contracting Nation, in accordance with its respective

also apply in the event of voting rights being suspended pursuant to paragraph 3.
6. For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, Global Parliament shall
act by a two-thirds majority of the votes cast, representing the majority
of its Members.
Direct Democracy implies that:
* Global Citizens are willing and able to participate fully in the
decision making process on issues that most affect them.
* Global Citizens should have full access to information on
global affairs, and the conduct of global business should be
open and transparent, with a well-developed global-wide
communication system.
* Global Parliament should always recognize that it is accountable to
Global Citizens.
* Direct democracy will encourage global citizen input into global
policy, and enable Global Citizens to participate more actively in
global affairs.
* Direct democracy will raise the level of public awareness
and encourage debate of key global issues.
* Global Parliament can exercise the leadership necessary to become a
model of effective “direct democracy” for all global communities.
* A direct democracy global law gives Global Citizens and Global Parliament an
effective and orderly way of addressing contentious issues.
* A direct democracy global law strengthens the hand of Global Parliament by
providing additional credibility in dealing with senior
governments and non-elected bodies.
* A direct democracy bylaw shows that Global Parliament has faith in its
Global Citizens. Thus, Global Parliament in turn earns increased respect from
Global Citizens.
* Direct democracy does not mean
government by referendum. Almost all Global Parliament decisions would
continue to be made as they are now with
the usual consultative processes. Few issues would be
important and contentious enough to prompt referenda.
Article 2: The principle of democratic equality
In all its activities,
Earth Government shall observe the principle of the equality of Global
Community citizens. All shall receive equal attention from Earth Government's
Institutions.
Article 3: The principle of representative democracy
1. The working of Earth Government shall be founded on the principle
of representative democracy.

level in Global Parliament. Member Nations are represented in Global Parliament
and in the Earth Executive Council by their governments, themselves
accountable to national parliaments, elected by their Global Community citizens.

Article 4: Level of protection
Nothing in this Constitution shall be interpreted as restricting or adversely
affecting human rights and fundamental freedoms as recognised, in their respective
fields of application, by Earth Government law and international law and
by international agreements to which Earth Government or all Member

Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and by Member Nations' constitutions. The Scale of Human and Earth Rights shall be the scale of
social values from which all rights are given proper importance.
Article 5: Prohibition of abuse of rights
Nothing in this Constitution shall be interpreted as implying any right to engage
in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of
the rights and freedoms recognised in this Constitution or at their limitation
to a greater extent than is provided for herein.
Article 6: Fundamental rights
The inhabitants and citizens of Earth who are within the federation
of all nations shall have certain inalienable rights defined hereunder.
It shall be mandatory for the Global Parliament, the Earth Executive Council , and all

in the federation of all nations to do likewise. Individuals or groups
suffering violation or neglect of such rights shall have full recourse
through the Global Community Ombudspersons, the Agency of the Global
Police and the Global Courts for redress of grievances. The inalienable rights

with no discrimination on grounds of race, color, caste, nationality,
sex, religion, political affiliation, property, or social status.
2. Equal protection and application of global legislation and
global laws for all global citizens of the Global Community.

Article 2: Earth Government protects rights of future generations

building a new civilization including a healthy and rewarding future for the next generations. Global cooperation brings people together for a
common future for the good of all.

Article 2: Connecting with Nature for our species survival
A question such as, "Do we need Nature?" leads me to contemplate which components of life’s sustaining machinery we could possibly live
without. Nature herself fills our lungs. She processes and sorts nutrients taken in from the air, and sends them through my
veins so that thoughts may take shape. Believe what we will, we are not capable of living beyond Nature’s subtle influences. She controls the wondrous complexities of the very life
forces that sustain us and allow us our thoughts. Being obsessed with sustainability’s enormous market potential, the impact of our society’s disconnection from Nature both concerns and
intrigues us. The thought of tearing up as much as 96% of each dollar and sending it to a landfill is inconceivable. And yet when money is in the form of
products made from toxic-laced non-recyclable or non-reusable materials, and society pays the costs hidden over time, that is inadvertently
what does happen.
Millions of people are employed within thousands of industries that ultimately manufacture waste in various forms. Every process at each
individual stage of producing all of these products reduces, if not wastes, a myriad of raw materials that Nature has taken hundreds, and even
millions of years to make available. For future generations’ sake, a greater accounting of human activities is direly needed. We must begin to put all our collective efforts towards
creating a ‘restorative economy’ specifically intended to generate social and environmental profits – as well as financial profits.
When we speak lightly of Nature, our thoughts might wander through the colorful beauty of wind-caressed meadows, or along the pristine
shores of sun kissed mountain stream-fed lakes, the sun dancing lightly about the fluid surfaces.
Even now those tranquil images lull my restless soul to further reflect upon Nature’s physical beauties. Many are the times of our lives that we have
found peace and sanity within Nature’s orchestrated symphonies.
Looking at this vast, unnatural, modern cityscape, we wonder for how much longer our natural systems could continue feeding civilization’s
insatiable hungers for comfort, convenience and luxury.
Our thoughts turned to all the stores packed with endless aisles of countless consumables. We struggle to grasp the enormous amounts of natural
resources and human activity their production required. We feel that we have to possess it if it pleases our senses, amuses or entertains, is this
season’s fashionable style or colour, organizes our stressful lives, or makes our days more convenient. For how much longer, we wonder, might
the whole of humankind escape the consequences of our crippling Nature’s ability to sustain life?
We turned away from our unsustainable, consumer-driven society toward a current need for ensuring that our great-grandchildren’s
generation will have the wherewithal to meet their basic needs around the year 2040.
This urgent global quest for sustainability challenges people within every municipality and region to see and begin to create their world anew.
Dwindling regional prosperity could be renewed by focusing in on our current needs for healthy, vibrant and productive communities.
Sustainability’s greatest challenge however, is in re-establishing our place within Nature’s chaotic complexities.
The last two decades have witnessed the birth of new sciences intended to gain insights into the complex workings of ‘whole systems’. Over
the course of history, sciences have evolved in isolation of each other. The emerging result is that we are losing sight of the interconnections
that inextricably link them all into this concept we have always called ‘Nature’.
Unpredictable weather patterns of endless destructive storms, floods and droughts, raging forest fires, and landscape-altering earthquakes
may just be Gaia’s attempts at ridding herself of our viral attacks upon her overall well-being. It is we who must begin to yield to Nature, as
Nature will never yield to us.
While we as a species have evolved to the point of creative thought, technological invention and great engineering prowess enabling us to
fashion some forms of control over our surroundings, we have yet to discover the means to produce something out of nothing. The suggestion
of settling on other planets, or harvesting natural resources from even the nearest of worlds, remains the reality of vivid imagination. Until such
time that we succeed at realizing any one of these aspirations, we will still have to depend on increasingly scant resources that have taken
Nature a galactic lifespan to generate.
Just one breath taken in over the course of an average lifetime endures in time far beyond that of humankind’s entire existence within a galactic
lifespan. Within some extremely short timeline of that breath, industrialization has harvested and converted the vast majority of Nature’s
resources into useless, even life threatening, waste. As we persist in recklessly designing and consuming products that challenge the very laws
of Nature, we continue to limit the means of survival for each successive generation yet to be born.
Will Nature afford us the time needed to restore her capabilities of sustaining life so that we might survive long enough to take in one last
galactic breath? Discovering the secrets of complexity may well equal the challenge of proving the existence of God. By all accounts we may
have left to us barely enough time to concentrate our efforts on adapting ourselves to Nature’s complexity.
Viewed through historical prisms, we stand today at crossroads not unlike those which our ancestors faced. Beginning with the late
nineteenth-century, the industrialization of horseless carriages altered the nature of life, work and travel. A hundred years later, over the course
of the industrial age, life, work and travel have altered Nature herself. That brings back into perspective a restorative economy’s market
potential for ensuring our survival within the 21st Century.
Barely has the international sustainability movement begun, and a most provocative realization is stimulating some rather intriguing,
multifaceted solutions. People are beginning to ask, "What is it that needs to be sustained, given the social, economic and environmental
threats to our communities, and residents?"
After assessing the life threatening results of the last industrial revolution, the Next Industrial Revolution’s leaders, are successfully enticing industrialists to embrace Nature’s mentorship.
Toxic-free materials used in creating new products are currently being designed such that they will become either the quality raw materials for
future products or will decompose into safe, healthy nutrients for Nature’s use. Wholistic building designs are awarded for their innate ability to integrate with, and even
restore, their environments.
And so, in the Next Industrial Revolution consumerism need not end but inherit complete respect for Nature, integrating smoothly with those
complex ecosystems we need in order to perpetuate our species on this planet.
Nature is what seems to have set this planet apart from any others we know. Whether by divine intent or by some abnormal happenstance, life
thrives within, upon and above our Earth’s surfaces. Species come, and species go. If we homo sapiens value our continued existence, we will
admit to our needing Nature and re-establish our connections with her. That is what will lie at the heart of our arduous struggle to achieve
sustainability.

Nations, including, where necessary, the regional legislation. The reasons
for concluding that a Earth Government objective can be better achieved
at Earth Government level must be substantiated by qualitative and, wherever
possible, quantitative indicators. The Global Judiciary shall take account of

Earth Government, national governments, regional or local authorities,
economic operators and Global Community citizens, to be minimised and commensurate
with the objective to be achieved.

Chapter 25.4 Other Protocols
Article 1: Other Protocols
Note: show a short description of the work done by Global Community over the past 39 years. A listing of all the work done from year 1985 to 2024 follows below here after the title "Table of Contents". And a more complete listing of all our work done ever since 1985 starts with the title:
Global participants files.
Table of Contents
Sorry not all links were properly finished. Not enough time! But you can finish or access each and everyone of them. Here is how I have done it. First connect with
"index_january_7_2024.html" major section. Then add to it
The Table of Contents of the work done by Global Community since 1985, including our Vision of Earth in 2024.
As never before in history, common destiny beckons us to seek a new beginning. It requires a new sense of global interdependence and universal responsibility. We must develop and apply the vision of a sustainable way of life locally, nationally, regionally, globally, and within ourselves throughout life. Our global cultural diversity is a precious heritage and different cultures will find their own distinctive ways to realize the global vision.
In order to build a sustainable global community, each individual, each local community, and national governments of the world must initiate their commitment to Global Civilizational Community, which we have defined as a social, and political movement in the sense of having a broad organizational structure and an ideology aimed at governing. The environmental movement, within Global Civilizational Community, expresses the concerns of groups of people regarding depletion of water, clean air, climate change aspects, degradation of land and other changes in ecosystems affecting traditional patterns of natural resources exploitation. Global Civilizational State has taken the role of helping these groups in protecting and managing our mutual global vision by coordinating efforts.
Global Civilizational State has now a Vision of the Earth in Year 2024 and a sense of direction. Global Civilizational Community has embarks on a new path in history, the inevitability of global societies living, sharing, and creating symbiotical relationships interactively. Global Civilizational State is a governing body based on universal values, global rights, global concepts and direct democracy which defines us all. Yes! Now we all can vote on creating our global vision together. We might as well start working on this new way of doing things, and creating governing institutions now; there is no longer any reason to wait. Global Civilizational State conducts affairs in ways to promote political, economic, cultural and scientific relations, while maintaining peaceful relationships.
Our creativity today already influences tomorrow's socio-economic strategies and contribute to the evolution of human societies - an evolution directed towards a global partnership and cooperation with each other for survival. Global Civilizational State was first to oppose any type of invasion of a people by another people. Global Civilizational State opposes environmental, economic, population and military warfares.
For example, to explain further as Moscow's war in Ukraine rages on, with deadly shelling on cities along the front lines and more clashes in hot spots in southern Ukraine, sadly, regrettably, and disastrously, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, showed no need to use diplomacy to save his country from being detroyed and his citizens from being killed.
Before the war, President Vladimir Putin demanded NATO and the USA to turn the clock back to 1997 and remove its forces and military infrastructure from Central Europe, Eastern Europe and the Baltics. In his eyes, the West promised back in 1990 that NATO would expand "not an inch to the east", yet did so anyway.
NATO and the USA, along with the EU, are helping as if wars were the only way to solve problems in the Ukraine. This is the same kind of wrong behaviour these people and states from the EU have been using between themselves over the past centuries. They behave as if war was the answer to all their problems or concerns. Diplomacy never not to be used.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, was a British statesman, soldier, and writer, who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom twice, from 1940 to 1945 during the Second World War, and again from 1951 to 1955. The First World War (WWI) was fought from 1914 to 1918 and the Second World War (or WWII) was fought from 1939 to 1945. They were the largest military conflicts in human history. At the outbreak of war in 1914, Churchill was serving as First Lord of the Admiralty.
In 1915 he helped orchestrate the disastrous Dardanelles naval campaign and was also involved in the planning of the military landings on Gallipoli, both of which saw large losses of his armies. As prime minister (1940–45) during most of World War II, Winston Churchill shaped Allied strategy in the war. In both world wars Winston Churchill would have been able to use diplomacy to end the wars. But diplomacy was not his way to deal with problems, and neither the West's way, to fight Adolf Hitler Army.

Replacing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the Scale of Global Rights. Code
Human rights are universal and inalienable; indivisible; interdependent and interrelated. They are universal because everyone is born with and possesses the same rights, regardless of where they live, their gender or race, or their religious, cultural or ethnic background. Code
Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination. Code
The most important human rights:
- the right to life - those rights that make life worth living, such as the rights to food, education, work, health, and liberty. Code
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty. Code
