Perhaps now after seeing the need to coordinate efforts in helping
Tsunamis victims, Earth quake victims, victims of the global crisis, we all see the wisdom to create global ministries in several aspects of our global life.

Summary
A) Minister for Sustainable Civilisation, Peace and Disarmament
B) Global Environment Minister
C) Global Council of Ministers
D) Earth Ministry of Health
E) Global ministries for Earth management
F) The formation of global ministries
G) Volunteers and Spiritual Leaders
The Global Community has begun to establish the existence of the age of symbiotical relationships and global cooperation. An
economically base symbiotical relationship exists between nations of the European Union. Other types (geographical, economical, social, business-like, political,
religious, and personal) may be created all over the world between communities, nations, and between people themselves.
The Global Community is inviting you to participate in the formation of global symbiotical relationships between
communities, institutions, nations, businesses, or a combination of them. This can be accomplished through the formation of global ministries. We are also
proposing the formation of a political symbiotical relationship between state and the global civil society. A similar relationship already
exists between the Global Community and every global citizen, also known as the human family, the global civil society.
|
Global ministries are a very specific and useful type of symbiotical relationships on Earth. There are urgently needed. The Global Community has been
promoting the formation of 51 global ministries for the proper governance of Earth.
Global ministries are world wide organizations just like the WTO for trade and therefore should have the same power to rule on cases as that of the World trade
Organization (WTO).
|
Any symbiotical relationship is for the good of all, for the good of the 'other'. It is based on a genuine group concern and unconditional support for the individual's well-being ~ a giant leap in human behaviour.
The question is how can we improve the political symbiotical relationship to fulfill its goals? The Charter of the Global Community promotes the values
to achieve its goals. These goals require the promoting and establishment of: global community ethics, mutual respect, respect for life, basic liberties,
justice and equity, caring for the 'other', integrity, responsibility and accountability.
Other symbiotical relationships may be based on common concerns and issues such as: the environment, peace, women's rights,
human and Earth rights, and many more. There is a whole spectrum of possible symbiotical relationships.
Global Dialogues 2000, 2002, and 2004 were the first world conferences on sustainable development and Earth management that brought forward
sound solutions to humanity's problems. Symbiotical relationships are needed today and for the long term future of humanity.
A global symbiotical relationship between nations is more than just a partnership, or an economical agreement such as the WTO.
The WTO is about a trade partnership between nations. Of course it is a bad idea to be a member of the World Trade Organization
( WTO). There are no advantages! It just does not work for anyone
except when you have an army to knock down any member who does not do your
five wishes and plus. A membership in the WTO is not needed and nations
should instead seek relationships with fewer other nations only if needed.
Certainly it is better to seek an economic relationship with another nation
we can trust than with a hundred nations we have no control on and everyone
of those nations has a say in the governing of our nation, its environment
and social structure. The WTO only offers illusions to profit the few wealthiest
people on Earth. They say "become an industrialized nation as we are".
But that is the biggest illusion of all. To become an industrialized nation
is far from being the best solution. The best way and solution for any
nation is to follow the Scale
of Human and Earth Rights. Right on top of the scale are
the ecological rights, the global life-support systems, and the primordial
human rights of this generation and of the next generation. Economic and
social rights come next and are not the most important. That makes a lot
of sense! The effect of IMF and World Bank policies in the world caused
the destruction of the economies of the poor nations (now we call them
'developing' countries). They impoverished the people by taking away basic
services and devaluating their currency. They opened up the national economy
to be ravaged by competition with richer nations. Poverty lead to other
problems causing the ecological destruction of a poor nation.
On the other hand, a global symbiotical relationship between two or more nations can
have trade as the major aspect of the relationship or it can have as many other aspects as agreed by the nations involved.
The emphasis of a global symbiotical relationship is not so much on how much money a nation should have or how high a GDP should be although money
can be made a part of the relationship. We all know developed countries live off developing countries so the emphasis has no need to
stress out the profit a rich nation is making off a poor nation. The emphasis of the relationship should give more importance to the
other aspects such as quality of life, protection of the environment and of the global life-support systems, the entrenchment of the
Scale of Human and Earth Rights and the Charter of the Global Community into our ways of life, justice, peace, spiritual freedom, security, and many other
important aspects as described in the global ministries (agriculture, energy, trade, resources, etc.).
Global ministries are a very specific and useful type of symbiotical relationships on Earth. There are urgently needed. The Global Community has been
promoting the formation of 51 global ministries for the proper governance of Earth.
Global ministries are world wide organizations just like the WTO for trade and therefore should have the same power to rule on cases as that of the World trade
Organization (WTO).
A sustainable world can be built with the help of a very powerful entity: the human spirit. Community participation generates the energy needed
to sustain the planet and all life. Religious and environmental communities have formed a powerful alliance for sustainability.
In today's Global Community it is important for our survival to cooperate globally on several aspects such as peace, security, pollution
in the air, water and land, drug trade, shelving the war industry, keeping the world healthy, enforcing global justice for all, eradicating
poverty worldwide, replacing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the Scale of Human and Earth Rights, and entrenching
the Charter of the Global Community as a way of life for the good of all.
The Global Community is inviting you to participate in the formation of global symbiotical relationships between
communities, nations, businesses, or a combination of them. This can be accomplished through the formation of global ministries.
Within each global ministry there is a section about
'The Global Community Overall Picture' which describes the situation in all nations of the world and we divided the world in five different regions:
North America, Countries in Latin America & the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and Asia & Oceania. Each global ministry has a description
of what is happening in the different regions. There are actual facts about what is happening in the world about all issues we have discussed
during both global dialogues in years 2000, 2002 and 2004. Issues of global dialogue 2006 are also included in this project. Our work is too
create a plausible scenario(s) of what the world could be between now and a million years.
This project will help humanity understand itself better.
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, human
and Earth rights, sustainable development, industry, and manufacturing products, etc. Global ministries will be given power to rule
themselves in harmony with each other. The WTO will not be the only global ministry that can rule on cases related to trade. The Global Community is calling for the immediate formation of the Earth Ministry of Health. The globalization of trade, the extensive
mouvement of people all over the world, the increase of poverty and diseases in developing countries and all over the world, have caused pathogens and
exotic diseases to migrate over enormous distances and now, are an increasing threat to local ecosystems and communities, economies and health of
every human being and all life. The Global Community is calling this threat of the upmost importance and
must be dealt with immediately by every nation. We must manage health in the world. We are calling for the immediate creation of the Earth Ministry of Health.
During the past decades various changes have taken place in political, economic and social
institutions. Economic reforms, changes in national policies, and global concerns have contributed to redefine the roles of these institutions for
Sustainable Development. The environmental movements express the concerns of groups of people regarding depletion of water, climate change aspects, degradation of land and other changes in ecosystems affecting traditional
patterns of natural resource exploitation. The Global Community has taken the role of helping these groups in protecting and managing the
environment by coordinating efforts. Earth Environmental Governance is the most importance and urgent challenge of the Global Community.
The Earth Ministry of the Environment is proposing a meeting of all the Ministers of the Environment. Each country in the world will
send their Minister of the Environment to meet during the global dialogue on Earth Management - all Peoples together.
The roundtable discussion will also include experts from interested groups, environmental institutions, policy specialists from non-governmental organizations, and
the public. There is a need to centralize and coordinate efforts into one Ministry of the Environment: the Earth Ministry of the Environment. Discussion about the financial support
will be a priority. A comprehensive and reliable system will be proposed to coordinate efforts from all over the world. Anyone willing to participate in the
discussion roundtable may send an abstract/research paper now.
Other topics for discussion:
a) Involvement of major groups in monitoring, assessment and early warning
b) Major environmental challenges of the 21st Century
c) Civil society involvement
d) Responsibility and accountability of the private sector
e) Global environmental policy-making

Earth Environmental Governance can only be achieved successfully within the larger context of Sustainable Developent and Earth Management.

Earth Environmental Governance can only be achieved successfully within the larger context of Sustainable Developent and Earth Management. All aspects are
inter-related and affect one another.
A healthy environment is essential to long term prosperity and well-being of Global Community citizens. That demands a high level of ecological protection. This is the 'raison d'etre' of the Scale of Human and Earth Rights.
Primordial human rights are those human rights that individuals have by virtue of their very existence as human beings: to live,
eat, drink fresh water, breath clean air, and have shelter. These rights are separate categories than ecological rights, the right
of the greatest number of people, economic rights, social rights, cultural rights and religious rights. Ecological and primordial human rights
are the only rights that have existed unchanged throughout the evolutionary origin of our species. Any major change would have
threatened our very existence. All other human rights listed here are rights created by human beings and can be changed depending
of new circumstances; they are not stagnant but are rather flexible and adaptive, and they can evolve. Ecological and primordial human rights
of this generation and of future generations are therefore much more important than any other human rights existing now and in the future.
In this way the Scale of Human and Earth Rights gives us a sense of direction for future planning and managing of the Earth.
Earth management is now well defined and becomes a goal to achieve. We no longer waste energy and resources in things that are
absolutely unimportant.
It has also become a necessity of establishing the Earth Resources Ministry that will be assessing, compiling, managing and protecting Earth resources, and the Earth Court of Justice prosecuting cases involving crimes related to the relentless misused of the Earth resources.
New ministries in the process of being created: Climate Change Ministry and Earth Energy Ministry.
Let us summarize the activities of important Ministries.
The Earth Ministry of Health is needed to reduce the threat of new and reemerging diseases and immune micro-organisms. SAR is certainly a new emerging global threat and must be managed before it becomes widespread. There are several factors indicating the need for new global changes in the area of health:
* larger populations of mal-nourished and undereducated people living in substandard housing, unhealthy environmental conditions and inadequate health
services, and poor water supply and sanitation
* rapid increase in international air travel
* globalization of trade
* lowering of standards in the production, handling, and processing of food have heightened the risk of food-borne diseases
* environmental factors and activities such as deforestation, conflict, tourism and migration into remote habitats have increased
exposure to disease
The Global Community is asking nation governments to give their support for the network of collaborating laboratories managed by the World Health Organization (WHO). We
are proposing to expand WHO's mandate to include:
* a global surveillance system
* an emergency section capable of responding to outbreaks of infectious disease anywhere in the world
* a more efficient vaccines program
* research into advanced-generations of antibiotics
* help governments put in place policies to improve the management of medical and public health resources, and to monitor these policies.
Tele-medicine and tele-health can bring the best medical and health knowledge to all areas of the world. Public-private partnerships have been
shown to reduce disease and health costs in developing countries. More research are needed to understand the relationship among disease, ecology
and genetics.
* AIDS awareness programs have to become far more aggressive. AIDS is the leading cause of death in the sub-Saharan Africa and is now
spreading rapidly in Central/Southern Asia and Eastern Europe. Local delivery of anti-retrovirus medicine to developing countries is very
difficult.
* bioterrorism is a threat just as important as a nuclear war and a section of this global ministry must be prepared to respond
quickly and efficiently.
* more research is needed to understand and respond to infectious diseases. Immunization rates are declining in low-income and
middle-income countries. There are more than 30 new and highly infectious diseases that have been identified, such as Ebola and AIDS, and there
are no treatment, cure, or vaccine.
* more research is needed in 20 known strains of diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) and malaria which have developed resistance to
antibiotics due to the widespread use and misuse of these drugs.
* more research is needed in old diseases such as cholera, plague, meningitis, diphtheria, dengue fever, hemorrhagic fever, and
yellow fever as they have reappeared as public health threats after years of decline.
The Global Community has begun to establish the global concepts of symbiotical relationships and global cooperation. An
economically base symbiotical relationship exists between nations of the European Union. Other types (geographical, economical, social, business-like, political,
religious, and personal) may be created all over the world between communities, nations, and between people themselves. There has always been symbiotical
relationships in Nature, and between Souls and the matter of the universe to help creating Earth and life on Earth to better serve God.
The Global Community is inviting you to participate in the formation of global symbiotical relationships between
communities, nations, businesses, or a combination of them. This can be accomplished through the formation of global ministries. We are also
proposing the formation of a political symbiotical relationship between state and the global civil society. A similar relationship already
exists between the Global Community and every member of the Earth Community, also known as the human family, the global civil society.
Any symbiotical relationship is for the good of all, for the good of the 'other'. It is based on a genuine group concern and unconditional support for the individual's well-being ~ a giant leap in human behaviour.

Global Dialogues 2000 and 2002 were the first world conferences on sustainable development and Earth management that brought forward
sound solutions to humanity's problems. Symbiotical relationships are needed today and for the long term future of humanity.
A global symbiotical relationship between nations is more than just a partnership, or an economical agreement such as the WTO.
The WTO is about a trade partnership between nations. On the other hand, a global symbiotical relationship between two or more nations can
have trade as the major aspect of the relationship or it can have as many other aspects as agreed by the nations involved. The fundamental criteria is that
a relationship is created for the good of all nations participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth.
The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development.
The emphasis of a global symbiotical relationship is not so much on how much money a nation should have or how high a GDP should be although money
can be made a part of the relationship. We all know developed countries live off developing countries so the emphasis has no need to
stress out the profit a rich nation is making off a poor nation. The emphasis of the relationship should give more importance to the

Scale of Human and Earth Rights and the Charter of the Global Community into our ways of life, justice, peace, spiritual freedom, security, and many other
important aspects as described in the global ministries (agriculture, energy, trade, resources, etc.).
This 21st century is very crucial for humanity as it will determine our survival or not for the next million year. The Global Community is
proposing to the world a way to achieve our survival. The recommendations described here are by no means the only ones.
The Global Community promotes the formation of global ministries 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, human
and Earth rights, sustainable development, industry, and manufacturing products, etc. Global ministries will be given power to rule
themselves in harmony with each other. The WTO will not be the only global ministry that can rule on cases related to trade.

There are 51 Ministries listed on our website. Anyone of you may apply for those positions. Choose a Ministry and start defining it completely:
what it will do, why is it needed, the money needed to run it, the people needed, the work it will do all over the world, etc. Each and everyone of us can pick a Minister's position
and find absolutely everything there is to be found about the Ministry. You may create brain-storming exercises in your community to help you. We will gather all our information and create a new Discussion Roundtable for each Ministry and do more discussion and research.
The idea is to pass on to the elected representatives for the Global Community the work we have done to help them govern Earth. This way representatives will have an idea about what to do
before they are elected as representatives to the Global Community. Once they are elected they may want to adopt our research work as
a starting point for governing Earth.
There is an urgent need to fill the following positions:
* President
* Vice-president
* Secretary-General (this position was created and reserved for the Secretary-General of the United Nations)
* Minister of Finances (Expenditures and Revenues)
* Minister of World Monetary Institutions
* Minister of Peace
* Minister of the Earth Flag

Other minister and officer positions may be created as
well. We expect suggestions to come forward between now and August 2002.
Several criteria will be taken into account: qualifications of the candidate
for leadership, past record as a good citizen, no criminal records, your
own financial support (we dont have any funds to pay anyone and for
anything), and proven experience and competence in the position. Candidates
work strictly on a volunteer basis. You are also required to have accepted
in your heart and mind universal values, global concepts, democratic principles,
and human rights as obtained and defined in the previous global dialogue.
CALL FOR ROUND TABLES FOR PEACE
AND A DEPARTEMENT FOR PEACE IN GOVERNMENTS
THE GLOBAL ROUND TABLE INITIATIVE
Dr. Michael Ellis
Minister for Sustainable Civilisation, Peace and Disarmament
Chief Editor, Co Publisher and Creative vision behind The New Paradigm Journal
http://www.newparadigmjournal.com 
Founder of:
The Centre For Change http://www.centreforchange.org and
The Medical renaissance Group http://www.medicalrenaissance.org

michaelellis@alumni.swinburne.edu
Our Global Round table for peace initiative is a response to the
deteriorating situation in the World. Conflict is occurring at an unprecedented
level as we are confronted with the seeds of change.
On social, environmental and health fronts, we are confronting a
critical transition. We are facing the results of an epistemology,
which focuses on material and rational values, human supremacy
and competition for domination. Will this transition be into chaos
and destruction or will it be into a new paradigm based on spiritual,
ecological connectedness and co-operation?
We are a planet in crisis. In 1995, NASA space photographer,
Richard Underwood, noted enormous changes in planetary degradation
seen from space in a period of 10 years.
Dr. C. G. Jung in The Undiscovered Self said 'The psyche is endowed
with dignity, which philosophically gives it a dignity equal
to a human being. Consciousness must be granted this status of human
existence and the individual, who is only the source of consciousness,
must be allowed a corresponding significance in society.
Institutions of ideology and religion permit individuality only in so
far as the individual does not oppose their dogmas, otherwise he is
condemned as a heretic and/or eccentric".
Similarly the modern state with its industrial, military complex
in the hands of a comparatively few people has a tendency to dictate
the course of society and to suppress any full expression of individuality
amongst the mass of the population. It is a dangerous habit
of our age to think only in large numbers, mass organizations
and mega deaths.
In order to resolve international conflict and understand our place
in the universe, we require a renaissance in consciousness,
ethics and values and a new epistemology if we are to sustainably
survive.
The largest gathering of heads of state in history was held at the
United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in
Rio in June of 1992. In November 1992, the following statement
was issued by 1,600 senior scientists:
* No more than one or a few decades remain … We, the undersigned,
senior members of the world's scientific community hereby
warn all humanity of what lies ahead. A great change in
our stewardship of the Earth and life on it is required if vast human
misery is to be avoided, and our global home on this planet
is not to be irretrievably damaged.
* World Scientists' Warning to Humanity signed by 1,600 senior
scientists including half of all Nobel Prize Winners and representing
71 countries, 18 November 1992.
The aim of The Centre For Change is to establish Round Tables
For Peace of Distinguished Human Beings from all over the Planet
as a Global Think Tank and 'Circle for Synergy & Responsibility' -
bringing together all aspects of Global Thinking, Wisdom and Perception
from scientific to spiritual in order to look for and debate
solutions at this critical time through an openness of dialogue.
THE GLOBAL ROUND TABLE FOR PEACE INITIATIVE
The Centre for Change in the Third Millennium - is supporting a
decade of open forum and ongoing dialogue on key issues affecting
the future of human kind. The aim of The Centre for Change is
to involve community and business highlighting healing, education
and social integration in order to create a more sustainable and
peaceful world.
We are calling for the establishment of a Round Table for Peace
leading to the establishment of a Department for Peace in Government
devoted to new ways of thinking, perceiving and understanding,
developing a culture of Healing in Society, and facilitating
nonviolent solutions to domestic and international conflict.
Humankind has reached a state of development in which old
modes of thinking and behaving threaten to destroy our planet.
The old modes of our conduct of life (The Ways of perceiving,
feeling, thinking and acting) or the old paradigm are being forced
on us to an even greater extent by the neo-conservative Orwellian,
economic rationalist regime of Western Society. This gradual intrusive
process is by its very nature eroding creativity and freedom
of expression of art and culture.
Our health system worldwide is in crisis. This crisis is exacerbated
by the costs and profits generated by the pharmaceutical industry.
It is no wonder that the health system is in crisis when the
whole essence of health care is to make profit based on the use of
allopathic drugs. The pharmaceutical industry exists and feeds on
illness. Without illness it cannot grow. Despite remarkable achievements
in some aspects of orthodox medicine, the world's leading
conventional institutions are responsible for an enormous death toll
across the globe.
Nutritional and stress factors play an important role in the causes
of these three killer diseases (1)
Over the past three decades there has been a virtual explosion in
information in the medical and scientific literature relating nutrition,
lifestyle and depression to disease. (2)
This is why we see so many patients with their immune systems
compromised by stress and depression and pharmaceutical treatment.
Stress and depression in one in three people in Australia are
surely signs that in terms of community, support and caring we are
losing out. People are competing for survival and work rather than
creating friendships and developing mature relationships and families.
Unless governance becomes more participatory and people have
a real say at what they want in terms of their dreams and how they
can express themselves in terms of real values and positive attitudes,
our society will become like a dictatorship run by a cruel bureaucratic
elite and watched over by a very wealthy minority.
We need to get back to the concept of true education and true
healing if we wish to see a society which will flourish in every way
including economically.

We have to realize that the kind of life that we currently live is
not conducive to happiness, health and wellness when we are surrounded
by a world full of conflict and wars. We are in a global
crisis in terms of population, health and environmental degradation.
Half of the Nobel Prize winners of the world at the Rio Summit
in 1992 stated that we had only a short period of time for our planet
to be either severely mutilated or for us to create a sustainable
community and environment.
We live in a disenfranchised world and communities with massive
health problems. Within this society there is tremendous emphasis
on wealth and consumerism where the emphasis is on economics
which is utterly unconcerned about the wellbeing of the individual.
Economics is only concerned about the rationale for the accumulation
of wealth no matter what the consequences for the people
or environment.
When people feel uncared for the result is illness. Economic rationalism
is an expression of how we are losing our sense of community
and connection with all of life. In general there has to be a
massive change in consciousness if we are to survive. Consciousness
is also the key word when it comes to taking responsibility for
healing one self and healing the planet.
It is an indictment on the ruling hegemony of the world, politicians
and presidents, governments and CEOs of large organizations
that they allow and even condone conflict within their own politicking
as well as between rivals and have no knowledge of the
significance of the social determinants of well being and health. (3)
It seems that the military industrial complex, the multiplying
wars, the pollution of our rivers and seas and skies, the inhumanity
of man against man and global inequity and poverty are having tremendous
deleterious effects on the state of the world creating an
eroded planet and a dis-eased Humanity.
If we do not address the basic social and environment and nutritional
determinants of health we are only going to further inflame
our present global crisis to the extent of creating an increasing spiraling
of global disease and stress.
Of course the stress, anxiety and depression can manifest itself
in the way nations respond to each other and the way they are not
able to manage conflict resolution or look at things in a calm long
term view.
The minds of people who are leaders in the Global community
should be able to see things wisely and with compassion, However
it seems that they are experiencing mental processes which can
only create dissonance and poor decision making.
It is therefore time that we begin to bring healing into the context
of society on a global and political level if we are to create a
more sustainable and happy humanity.
It is for this reason that The Centre For Change proposes the establishment
of a Round Tables For Peace leading to the establishment
of a Department for Peace in Governments devoted to new
ways of thinking, developing a culture of Healing in Society, and
facilitating nonviolent solutions to domestic and international conflict.
We need to create a better sustainable world through reappraisal
of what it means to be a human being in harmony with the
environment.

3) Sir Michael Marmot is Professor of Epidemiology and Public
Health and Director of the International Centre for Health and Society
at University College London, as well as Adjunct Professor
of Health and Social Behaviour at the Harvard School of Public
Health. Sir Michael Marmot has said that even in the most affluent
countries people who are less well off have substantially shorter
life expectancies than the rich. Professor Marmot for the World
Health Organization defined ten social determinants of health for
the World Health Organisation. The details are given below. What
is significant from these determinants is that stress harms health
and people become vulnerable to a wide range of major conditions
including, cardiovascular disease, infections and diabetes. It has
also been shown that social exclusion creates illness and morbidity.
The message is that when people feel loved and are in jobs that
they relate to and feel happy with and are in communities that are
supporting they are likely to live longer and fulfilling lives. Whereas
exclusion within communities and work and unemployment and
lack of social support creates a wide range of diseases that we see
nowadays in our society including depression, cancer, cardiovascular
disease and premature death.
The Ten Social Determinants of Health are:
1. Social and economic circumstances strongly effect health
throughout life.
2. Stress harms health.
3. The effects of early development in the neo-natal period and
infancy last a lifetime.
4. Social exclusion creates suffering and morbidity.
5. Stress in the workplace increases the risk of disease
6. Job security increases health, well-being and job satisfaction.
Unemployment is deleterious to health.
7. Social support, friendship, good social relations and strong

Global Ministries 
Global ministries are a very specific and useful type of symbiotical relationships on Earth. There are urgently needed.
Earth Government has formed 51 global ministries for the proper governance of Earth. Global
ministries are world wide organizations just like the WTO for trade and therefore should have the same power to rule on
cases as that of the World trade Organization (WTO).
Earth Government has appointed several Cabinet Ministers. We are showing here the website of the Global Environment Minister, Dr. José G. Vargas-Hernández.
A new world to build,
a future to share and protect together!
