In view of the planetary state of emergency we all must change, we must do things differently to give life on Earth a better survival chance.
There are activities we can no longer entertain doing in our ways of life. There are certainly thousands of them. I am going to list a few here, and maybe you could all participate
and send your own. I will post them on the website.
- no more wars
- no more war industry
- no more biofuels obtained from food products
- no more nuclear explosions in our oceans and the Polar Cap
- no more destruction of rain forests
- no more tax on labour
- no more nation invaders
- no more feeding the industrialized and powerful nations with natural resources until every community has been feed first
- no more 'blood resources' activities
- no more giving or selling away natural resources to industrialized and powerful nations
- no more religious extremists
- no more powerful lobbying groups forcing decision making at the UN and EU
- no more genocides
- no more corruption, mismanagement at the highest levels, and bad global governance at the UN
- no more military power of this world forcing ownership of land and of all other Earth natural resources against the will of everyone else
- no more following the traditional concept of security through military
defense is a total illusion both for the present and for future generations
-
Each day taxpayers hand over astronomical amounts of money to build weapons of mass destruction, fuel dangerous and polluting technologies,
and subsidize giant corporations which concentrate the wealth and power of the world in the hands of an elite few.
- By its way of not dealing with global governance, the United Nations have perpetuated the archaic concept of land ownership, a concept that is threatening security in the world and all
life on Earth. The UN never had a human criteria for the creation of a new nation.
- War is not sustainable. It never was. The military option, war, is against global sustainability and global peace in a big way.
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, acid rain, and dangerous greenhouse gases have forced the global warming of the planet and the climate to change dangerously, the worst threat to humanity and all life. 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 helps wealthy and poorer nations reach a better understanding of each other's needs.
All aspects are interrelated: global peace, global sustainability, human and Earth 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 developing the
Scale of Global Rights.
- War is the greatest violation of human and Earth 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 nonviolent 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 agressive 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.
Territorial conflicts has for millennium been the basis of war and mass killing of others.
Throughout the ages wars have been fought over land, and other Earth natural resources. Blood resources started when the first explorers came to America and started to shut
dead Natives. Explorers had to come back home with the prospect of future catches for their countries.
We have seen oil conflicts in the Persian Gulf, and the Caspian Sea Basin.
We have seen water conflicts in the Nile Basin, the Jordan, and Indus River Basins.
We have seen wars being fought over minerals and timber in Brazil, Angola, Cambodia, Columbia, Congo, Liberia, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
The view from space shows us a global landscape in which competition over resources is the governing principle behind the use of economic and military power.
Truly, resources have become the new political boundaries. Geopolitical boundaries between nations are gradually disappearing to make place to georesources boundaries. Democracy is an excuse to gain control over those resources by mega corporations.
Blood oil and gas, Blood resources, is certainly a proof of this statement.
- Security must be achieved by other means than wars. We might as well shelved the war industry from humanity right now and that means phasing
out all nuclear, biological, chemical weapons right now. No waiting! That also means having inspectors verifying the phasing out in
all nations of the world, and not just in the Middle East region and North Korea. The nature of global security has changed since the rise of the Global Community.
Security used to be about the protection of the state and its boundaries, people, institutions and values from an outside threat.
The Global Community emphasizes as a priority the prohibition of external interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states. Today the security of
people within the Global Community is just as important as the security of states. Citizens must be secure. The Global Community is just as important as the security
and life of citizens and states.
- There are many threats to security other than the threats to the global life-support systems and threat caused by weapons of mass destruction and the threats to
the sovereignty of a state, and they include:
* the proliferation of conventional small arms
* the terrorizing of civilian populations by domestic groups
* gross violations of global rights
- The Earth Court of Justice has made clear that the new global law legislation has been enacted, the
Global Citizens Rights, Responsibility and Accountability Act
will be enforced by the AGP. Global Law is now the law of the land on the planet. No one is excuse! Everyone is included! Those breaking Global Law will be prosecuted.
For now, those committing crimes against humanity and all life on Earth will be arrested. There are Global Community Arrest Warrants against all
world leaders of the Five Permanent Members of the UN Security Council.
The Global Community blames the actions of the Five Permanent Members for not having put hard sanctions against the USA for having unilaterally invaded Iraq and letting Americans plundering the oil and gas resources
of the Iraquis. That in itself is a crime against humanity and all life on the planet. That goes against Global Sustainability and Global Peace. Through the manipulation of the
world media, it now seems OK to prepare for the invasion of Iran. That also is a crime.
It is a crime against humanity to promote the military option, war, as a solution to the world problems.
- Certainly we ought to disarm all nations from all weapons of mass destruction.
The leadership of the United Nations has failed to enforce disarmement. It is a tragedy that such a failure is now seen as the source of other nations, such as
Iran and others, wanting to defend themselves against an invasion by the USA.
And that is a crime against humanity and all life. The Earth Court of Justice has now
a Global Community Arrest Warrant against world leaders of the Five Permanent Members of the UN Security Council for crimes against humanity.
- With their nuclear war heads and other WMDs, the Five Permanent Members of the UN Security Council are holding the world and all life on Earth hostage.
We are being threatened by their warheads. All life on the planet is being threatened. That makes them terrorists. The Five Permanent Members of the UN Security Council
are terrorists, criminals and ought to be stopped. The Global Community will disarm you, like it or not. No waiting! There has been enough wasted time during the Cold War.
The AGP will come to your country and disarm you. Right now!
- 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.

warming, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, acid rain, ozone depletion, silting of streams, and countless of other environmental problems. This was the reason for developing the Scale of Global Rights.
- 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! The fundamental criteria is not being fulfilled. 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 Global 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 generations. 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.
- 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 political system of an individual country does not have to be a democracy. Political rights of a country belong to that country alone. Democracy is not to be enforced by anyone and to anyone or to any
global community. Every community can and should choose the political system of their choice with the understanding of the importance of such a right on the Scale of Global Rights . On the
other hand, representatives to the Global Community must be elected democratically in every part of the world. An individual country may have any political system at home but the government of that
country will have to ensure (and allow verification by the Global Community) that representatives to the Global Community have been elected democratically. This way, every person in the world can claim
the birth right of electing a democratic government to manage Earth: the rights to vote and elect representatives to form the Global Community.
The United Nations and all its related organizations have failed humanity and all life on Earth on many levels:
1. the Universal Declaration of Human Rights should be replaced by the Scale of Human and Earth Rights;
2. corruption, mismanagement at the highest levels, and bad global governance;
3. promotion of the military option, war;
4. allowing the genocides of several peoples;
5. the business of deceiving, making believe, controlling without a democratic mandate from the Global Community;
6. the U.N. is operating using precepts dating back 2000 years and developed by the Roman Empire; those precepts best suit the invasion
of nations and the destruction of the global life-support systems and the Earth environment;
7. the absence of proper governance and justice at the U.N.;
8. the use of trickery to deceive the world and subdue nations; and
9. powerful lobbying groups forcing decision making at the UN.
Many other organizations are corrupted
and have no intention of changing their ethics rules:
* G8 nations,
* World Trade Organization (WTO),
* Free Trade Agreement (FTA),
* North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA),
* Free Trade Area of the Americas
(FTAA),
* World Bank,
* International Monetary Fund
(IMF), and the
* European Union (EU).
Most dont even have ethics. If they do they dont follow
them.
The problem is the system they have created. It has become
clear that this culture of waste, mismanagement and corruption cannot reform
itself.
