10 propositions pour la paix , by Guy CRÉQUIE, guy.crequie@wanadoo.fr
Le XXIè siècle est celui du troisième millénaire, il doit anticiper l'héritage que nous laisserons à la nouvelle génération.
Ce siècle peut, doit, décider comme le propose l'UNESCO que la pauvreté est une atteinte insupportable aux droits de l'homme mais plus encore, il doit décider que l'humanité est un sujet politique et juridique( déterminant comme instance de vie) supérieur à la logique économique.

La dimension multiculturelle du dialogue by AMMAR BANNI, Professeur de français et poète ammarbanni@yahoo.fr
Il est donc indispensable pour que la culture du dialogue établisse un système multiculturel efficace, aux niveaux régionaux
et mondiaux ,et pour accomplir cette tâche ,il est recommandé que le dialogue et sa culture interculturel devraient investir pour le développement de sa culture
multiculturelle qui aident les peuples et les nations pour se comprendre et se respecter ; ceci réduirait la possibilité de conflits des cultures et des
civilisations . La dimension multiculturelle de la culture du dialogue favoriserait la promotion d'une culture harmonieuse qui peut empêcher l'influence
dangereuse sur la société provoquant une incertitude ,une crainte, une terreur et de haine qui mènent aux conflits et aux guerres. |

Letter sent by Grassroots Women to the Global Community
Grassroots Women International Women’s Day 2007 Statement
Strengthen Women’s Resistance: Oppose Imperialism’s Intensifying Attacks! Assert Women’s Basic Human Rights!
In Canada, a patriarchal resurgence and ever-more entrenched systemic racism are intensifying the exploitation, oppression, and economic exclusion of working class, (im)migrant, refugee and Indigenous women. We are hard hit by
the neo-liberal policies of the Canadian government of liberalization, deregulation and privatization which leave working class women unable to earn a decent income or to access affordable housing, health, and other services. Amidst
rising corporate profiteering, government corruption, and military spending, government funding for childcare and women’s programs have been slashed. The insultingly paltry and unjustly distributed $100/month childcare benefit
has been a slap in the face for women demanding a genuinely universal national childcare program. (Im)migrant and refugee women face the punitive and exploitative nature of immigration policies such as the Live-in Caregiver
Program and unjust deportations. Indigenous women face the ongoing colonization of their land and resources. |

We the Peoples of the Global Community are reaffirming faith in the fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and smalll. We the Peoples
implies every individual on Earth. Earth management and good governance is now a priority and a duty of every responsible person on Earth. The Global Community has taken action by calling the Divine Will into our lives and
following its guidance. Divine Will is now a part of the Soul of Humanity to be used for the higher purpose of good and Life's evolution. We will learn to serve humanity and radiate the Will of God to others. We will establish
conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and we promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.
The purposes of the Global Community are to:
1. maintain international peace and security in conformity with the principles of justice and
global law;
2. promote friendly relations among nations, individuals and communities based on:
* respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of Peoples; and
* symbiotical relationships;
3. promote global co-operation to:
* find sound solutions to economic, social, cultural, humanitarian, local and global community problems;
and
* establish respect for human and Earth rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to
race, sex, language, or religion.
4. be a home and a global community centre to all nations, people and local communities and help them harmonize their
actions to achieve their common goals.
5. promote worldwide awareness of:
a) the "Beliefs, Values, Principles and Aspirations" of the Global Community;
b) global symbiotical relationships amongst people, institutions,
cities, provinces and nations of the world, and between the Global Community and all nations, and in the business sector;
c) global societal sustainability;
d) good Earth governance and management;
e) the Scale of Human and Earth Rights;
f) the Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a Person and of the Global Community;
g) the Criteria to obtain the Global Community Citizenship;
h) consistency between the different policies and activities of the Global Community; and
i) a global market without borders in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capitals is ensured in accordance with the Global Constitution;
j) the new ways of doing business in the world;
k) the Celebration of Life Day on May 26 of each year;
l) the finding of an Earth flag;
m) the ECO Award;
n) the Portal of the Global Community; and
o) the concept of a Global Dialogue.
The Global Community and Global Community Earth Government (GCEG) have promoted a peaceful solution to all world problems.
They have promoted
non-violent settlement to conflicts.
War is the greatest violation of human rights that one people can inflict on another. It brings deaths and injuries, starvation, diseases, millions of people
losing their homes and livelihoods, and massive destruction of property.
Children and teenagers are placed in internment camps, and several are often forced to serve as soldiers. War not only corrupts the morals of soldiers, it leads to a decline
in the morality of the whole nation.
Political and military leaders are always convinced that their particular war is justified. From their point of view, there are several reasons to go
to war: loyalty to allies, religion, a thirst for power, greed, ancient grievances to be settled, or the desire to alleviate suffering among their people.
A non-violent settlement to a conflict would always be more advantageous. War is self-defeating because it cannot secure what it sets out to achieve, protection against attack. The hatred for the enemy
whipped up by war and the desire for revenge among the losers leads to an accursed vicious circle from which there is no escape. The difference between
aggressive and defensive, or just and unjust wars, is ridiculous. They are tags each side adopted to suit its interests. War and militarism destroy civil liberties within a nation.
What happens to a person's conscience when he/she wears the uniform of the soldier? It is enslaved to the state. He must kill when ordered. No government, whether
democratic or despotic, can allow the soldier to decide what to do according to his conscience. That would undermine discipline and the power to fight.
The Global Community claims that everyone on Earth should be able to live in peace. This Global Peace Movement is about courage. Not the courage it takes to go into battle but the courage
to organize resistance to war when a bloody taste for it inflames the world, and the threat of prison in a nation where the human rights and freedom of expression have diminished significantly. It is
about the courage to say NO to the war industry. It is an industry that destroys life on Earth, corrupts society, and violates morality. Military intervention
in the affairs of other nations is wrong. There are other ways, there are peaceful ways, ways that are not based on profit-making and the gain of power for itself.
We are conscientious objectors, non-resistants.
There are several reasons for objecting to war: religious, moral and political. People have different degrees of refusal to go to war. Absolute pacifists such as the Global Community will not
cooperate with any preparation for war as decided by the war industry, let alone war itself. Others will accept some kinds of service so long as they are not forced to fight. And others
are willing to fight in "just wars." The idea of the "just war" began with St. Augustine. Late in the fourth century he argued that the good
Christian, barred from doing violence on his own behalf, could take arms in a war that was just. Several theologians now say that the standards for a just war are:
a) War must be the last resort and used only after other means have failed.
b) War must be declared to redress rights actually violated or for defence against unjust demands backed by the threat of force. It must not be fought simply to satisfy national pride or to further economic or territorial gain.
c) The war must be openly and legally declared by a legal government.
d) There must be a reasonable chance of winning.
e) The means used must be in proportion to the ends sought.
f) Soldiers must distinguish between armies and civilians and not killed civilians in purpose.
g) The winner must not required the utter humiliation of the loser.
It can be debated whether any war has ever satisfied all these reasonable conditions.
The Global Community and GCEG are dedicated in using our resources to resolve
conflict, promote democracy, and fight hunger, terrorism, disease, and human rights abuses. In order to bring about the event of peace, the Global Community
is offering other organizations around the world to work together to bring warring parties to peace. We can accomplish this task by concrete actions such as:
a) Tracking armed conflicts within and between nations around the world and offering assistance in dispute resolution;
b) Promoting human rights and democracy;
c) Monitoring democratic elections; and
d) Educating the public about the advantages of a peaceful solution to any conflict.
The responsibility of a peacemaker is to settle differences through compromise and negotiation before they erupt into violence.
Conflicting views do not have to bring about fighting. War is an irreversible solution to a problem. War is never an appropriate solution to resolve
a conflict.
The worst environmental degradation happens in wars. Farm products in fields and livestock are abandoned, there is no more control on toxic wastes, and water, air,
and land are polluted. People are displaced and feel no longer responsible for the quality of life in their communities. Historically, the industrialized nations
have caused the most damage to the environment, with their careless technology and policies. Emissions from factories and vehicles have caused
ozone depletion and acid rain. Leaders of the wealthier nations must be willing to accept responsibility for past mistakes and to help pay the financial burden
for environmental protection of the developing nations. This is the most damaging conflict of interests between the rich industrialized countries
and those that are poor and struggling just for existence. The Global Community must help wealthy and poorer nations reach a better understanding of each
other's needs. All aspects are interrelated: peace, human rights and the environment. The poor is more concerned with ending starvation,
finding a proper shelter and employment, and helping their children to survive. Environmental issues become meaningless to the poor. In reality, all concerns are interrelated.
As soon as the environment is destroyed beyond repair, human suffering is next. Ecology has no boundaries. All nations suffer the effects of
air pollution, global warming, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, acid rain, ozone depletion, silting of streams, and countless of other
environmental problems. This was the reason for proposing to the Global Community the Scale of Human and Earth Rights.
The Global Community wants to provide a forum where international conflicts could be argued and resolved peacefully. Because of hatred and mistrust, disputing
parties always find it difficult to express constructive ideas or proposals. A face-to-face meeting may not even be possible. The Global Community offers to be a trusted
third party that would carry ideas back and forth, put forward new proposals until both sides agree. When both parties feel they have gained more than
they have lost from the process, the outcome is a win-win settlement for peace.
