The peoples of all Nations, in creating an ever closer
Global Community among them, a Global Civilization, are resolved to share
a peaceful future based on common values.
Conscious of its spiritual and
moral heritage, the Global Community is founded on the indivisible, universal
values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based
on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual
at the heart of its activities, by establishing the Global Community citizenship,
and by creating an era of freedom, security, global justice and social
harmony.
The Global Community is a non-hierarchical nonviolent
organization of individuals and organizations that promotes the arts, conducts
workshops, facilitates nonviolent direct actions, educates, organizes,
campaigns, empowers, and aims to rip injustice from its roots. We are committed
to nonviolence. We stand for the globalization of our rights to speech,
thought, religion, assembly, a clean environment, self-determination,
freedom from fear and persecution and freedom from poverty. We stand
for the rights of women, children, elderly, affordable health care, strong
labor rights and social and economic policies that put people and the environment
before profits.
The Global Community claims that everyone on Earth should
be able to live in Peace. This Global Peace Mouvement is about courage
to live a life in a harmonious peace order and showing by example, thus
preventing poverty, wars, terror and violence. We need to educate the coming
generations with good principles, being compassionate, social harmony and
global sustainability being some of them.
The Global Community is defined around a given territory,
that territory being the planet as a whole, as well as a specific population,
which is the Global Community. The Global Community has the power to make the laws of the land and to make the rules
for the territory of the Earth. Global Law has been and continue to be
researched and developed for this purpose.
Global commons are those universal values,
principles, ideas, concepts,
beliefs, truths we have all in common. They may also be symbiotical relationships.
Global commons are the many reasons why humanity get together in times of uncertainty and distress. Wars and conflicts, environmental disasters, Earthquakes and Tsunamis,
are a few examples. Other times we get together in research and development, the exploration of space, development of new technologies, education, so many reasons for
us all to meet and dialogue. The list goes on a long way.
Today we are getting together to find new global commons that can help for the survival of humanity and all life on Earth. And so you are asked to participate in Global Dialogue 2008.
Conservation, restoration, and management of the Earth resources is about asking ourselves the question of "Who owns the Earth?" The large gap between rich and
poor is connected to ownership and control of the planet's land and of all other Earth natural resources. We, the Global Community, must now direct the wealth of the world towards the building of local-to-global
economic democracies in order to meet the needs for food, shelter, universal healthcare, education, and employment for all. The Global Community has proposed a democracy for the people based on the fact
that land, the air, water, oil, minerals, and all other natural resources rightly belong to the Global Community along with the local communities where those resources are found. The Earth is the birthright of all
life. The Global Economic Model proposed by the Global Community is truly the best response to the world.
Global Community criteria for sovereignty:
- a global community is in place
- the land and its natural resources are just enough to live a sustainable life and for a healthy living
- the community governs its owns affairs as per the Scale of Human and Earth Rights, Global Law, Global Constitution, and the protection of the environment
and of the global life-support systems
- a symbiotical relationship exists between the citizens and the Global Community
- a democracy based on the fact that land, the air, water, oil, minerals, and all other natural resources within the community rightly belongs to the community along with the Global Community, and
that the Earth is the birthright of all life
- Earth management and taxation of all Earth natural resources
