We the Peoples, all Life on Earth, are claiming ownership of the planet as a birthright.
"Global Community is defined as being all that exits or occurs at any location at any time between the Ozone layer above
and the core of the planet below.
It is defined around a given territory, that territory being the planet as a whole, as well as a specific population, which is all life forms on Earth."
By extension, the expression Global Community also includes the entire Universe, space and time, all matter, galaxies, dark matter, all particles and all unknown parts of the Universe yet to be discovered. Global Community also includes all Souls, SoulLife God, and that makes it different than just saying Global Community is the Universe .
This definition includes all people, all life on Earth and over the entire Universe. That makes Global Civilizational State the 21st century framework for Earth governance, and the only legitimate body with the power to make the laws of the land and to make the rules for the territory of the Earth.

together.

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
constitutional requirements.
Article 2: Suspension of Earth Government membership rights
1. On a reasoned proposal by one third of Member Nations, by the Global
Parliament or by the Global Judiciary , the Earth Executive Council, acting by a majority
of four fifths of its members after obtaining the consent of Global
Parliament, may adopt a decision determining that there is a clear
risk of a serious breach by a Member Nation of the values mentioned in Chapter 1 to Chapter 10 inclusive.
Before making such a determination, the Earth Executive Council shall
hear the Member Nation in question and, acting in accordance with the same
procedure, may address recommendations to that Nation. The Earth Executive Council
shall regularly verify that the grounds on which such a determination was
made continue to apply.
2. The United Nations , acting by unanimity on a proposal by one third
of Member Nations or by the Global Judiciary and after obtaining the consent
of Global Parliament , may adopt a decision determining the

acting by a qualified majority, may adopt a decision
suspending certain of the rights deriving from the application of the Constitution
to the Member Nation in question, including the voting rights of that Member
Nation in the Earth Executive Council. In so doing, the Earth Executive Council
shall take into account the possible consequences of such a suspension on
the rights and obligations of natural and legal persons. That Member Nation
shall in any case continue to be bound by its obligations under the Constitution.
4. The Earth Executive Council, acting by a qualified majority, may subsequently
adopt a decision varying or revoking measures taken under paragraph
3 in response to changes in the situation which led to their being imposed.
5. For the purposes of this Article, the Earth Executive Council shall act
without taking into account the vote of the Member Nation in question.
Abstentions by members present in person or represented shall not prevent
the adoption of decisions referred to in paragraph 2. This paragraph shall
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 is the right of global citizens to hold referendums on any issue -- and to veto legislation.
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.
2. Global Community citizens are directly represented at Earth Government
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.

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
Fundamental rights are the rights of a country's citizens that are stated in the constitution and enforced by the law. Human rights, on the other hand, are the safeguards that a human being seeks in order to live in dignity and equality. Code
Civil and political rights are violated through genocide, torture, and arbitrary arrest. These violations often happen during times of war, and when a human rights violation intersects with the breaking of laws about armed conflict, it's known as a war crime. Code
Human rights violators are involved for genocide, torture, war crimes, recruitment or use of child soldiers, female genital mutilation, and for immigration and naturalization fraud arising out of efforts to hide their involvement in such crimes. Code
Global Ministries. Code
New ways of doing business and trade in global development and in the management of global resources. Code
Closed meetings of Global Political Parties to select candidates or to decide on policy or to elect a presidential caucus. Code
A one-party state with a governance structure in which only a single political party controls the ruling system. Code
Global Parliament summit meeting Code
A Global Transnational Political Party with members or representatives in more than one country. Code
A Global small government conservatism. Code
A Global voting method in which a voter's identity in an election or a referendum is anonymous. This forestalls attempts to influence the voter by intimidation, blackmailing, and potential vote buying. Code
Global Parliament allowing both freedom and transparency, two fundamental values of a democratic society. Code
A Global Summit Meeting, an international meeting of heads of state or government. Code
Management Meetings, Leadership Meetings, Executive Meetings, or Board Meetings to deliver updates. Code
Fundamental Liberal ideals of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, the separation of church and state, the right to due process, and equality under the law are widely accepted as a common foundation of liberalism. Code
The Republicans advocate reduced taxes as a means of stimulating the economy and advancing individual economic freedom. They oppose extensive government regulation of the economy, government-funded social programs, affirmative action, and policies aimed at strengthening the rights of workers. Code
Republican philosophy leans more towards individual freedoms, rights and responsibilities. In contrast, Democrats attach greater importance to equality and social/community responsibility. Code
Unanimity being an agreement by all people in a given situation. Groups may consider unanimous decisions as a sign of social, political or procedural agreement, solidarity, and unity. Code
