Chapter 14.3 A.2 The House of Advisers
Chapter 14.3.1 A.2 Earth Government's Advisory Bodies
Article 1: The House of Advisers
When a group of ordinary people realized they, personally, will make the changes they need in their fields, in their village. They can then find ways to bring these changes for all. There is a wisdom in the ways of very humble people that needs to be used. Every humble person deserves to have ideas respected, the courage to develop his own life for the better and for the good of all. Sound solutions to help manage and sustain Earth will very likely be found this way. Everyone can help assess the needs of the planet now and propose sound solutions for its proper management, present and future.
Perhaps now we should introduce some important members of the Global Community. Most of the time many politicians representing their citizens at the United Nations have no knowledge, experience, and understanding of global problems. They seek advise from others, and these 'others' are always members of the global civil society. Yet politicians make global decisions or the lack of them during meetings. Politicians become actors on the world scene. Actors taken jobs they are not always qualified to take in reality. They make decisions and they dont understand consequences. In effect, the lack of sound leadership from the part of our politicians are threatening the security of all people and all life on Earth.
The global civil society is made of people from all aspects of life
who have a greater understanding of the problem whatever it may be. The
global civil society is the mind, heart and Soul of humanity, the human
family. They maybe NGOs, businesses, agencies, scientists and professionals,
religious groups, or other groups. They should have a voting right during
all meetings of the General Assembly and Security Council of the United
Nations. They are given an important status in the Global Community.
