God's higher purpose for humanity
|
There will be a time when enough people will be able to think together very strongly about life, and then Guiding Souls will make it possible for us to acquire the knowledge and expertise to travel the distances of the universe and propagate life in all its forms. At the moment our civilizations are not ready for the exploration of the universe. Too many wars and not enough peace in the world. To acquire such knowledge would be more destructive than helpful for the propagation of life. For now the Peoples of our world need to learn to live in symbiosis with one another. Their are many types of symbiotical relationships to choose from.
The Will of God is for life to reach God in the best possible ways. Life is the most precious gift ever given by God to the universe. Life allows Souls to be conscious of God in as many different ways as possible. Life is the building block through which Souls can have a meaningful relationship with God. By observing the universe, the galaxies, we are observing and studying God. There is more to the universe we observe today, that is, there is more to God we observe, much more. God is self-existent, eternal and infinite in space and time. Follow God's Word. God's Plan was revealed to humanity a short while ago. The Divine Plan for humanity is:
a) for everyone to manage Earth responsibly, and
b) about to reach the stars and spread Life throughout the universe and thus help other Souls to evolve and serve God in the best possible ways.
The Divine Plan is the greatest hope for humanity and is now being revealed. God could not have created a universe with billions of galaxies, each one with billions of stars such as our Sun, unless God had a plan for Life, especially for an advanced species such as ours.
We have the responsibility of managing Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of life within the Global Community. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as oppose to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.
The higher purpose of humanity is to serve God by propagating Life throughout the universe. Humanity will evolve spiritually to fulfill God's Plan. Soon God will show us the way to reach the galaxies.
Is humanity as we know it today on Earth our final destination?
A short while ago God said:
It was necessary for our species to reach today's population of over 6 billions in order to leap to our next stage of evolution that will bring us closer to God and propel humanity to fulfill the Divine Plan.
1. Thou shall be One with humanity and thou shall have a higher purpose, and that is to propagate Life throughout the universe. I shall provide you with means to travel the galaxies.
2. Thou shall have another higher purpose, and that is to manage Earth responsibly.
Guiding Souls to serve God is a part of a new unifying religion of a modern symbiosis global society

The fundamental beliefs of the Guiding Souls serving God are as follow.The laws of nature can organize matter to build complex biochemical systems that are at the origin of lifeforms such as a complex human being. The most relevant laws are: biological reproduction, natural selection and mutation. And each particle of matter has a Guiding Soul.
|
All biological structures can be explained in terms of those natural laws and the Guiding Souls serving God. |
All biological structures can be explained in terms of those natural laws and the Guiding Souls serving God. The existence
of Souls does not necessarily imply a special beginning of the universe. The universe may have never had a beginning and probably never did.
Souls can only guide the matter of the universe to serve God. Observations of the universe show the stars in our galaxy, galaxies,
clusters of galaxies, super clusters of galaxies, and many other special objects. A theory of the observable universe that has stood out over the past decades is
the Big Bang theory. Different types of data point at the Big Bang theory. We may never be a 100% certain which theory of the universe (and God knows there are many) is correct.
A good reference is my own Master's Degree Thesis:
Even if
the Big Bang was correct, it could also be that the observable universe is a part of an even larger, infinite, universe. That is more likely
to be true. God is infinite in space and time and could have created our observable universe for a higher purpose. Guiding Souls have guided the step-by-step evolution of life on Earth.
As we enact global law, we will begin to take on a much
deeper kind of global leadership, one that earns more respect than envy
and more gratitude than hatred, one that can catapult the whole planet
forward into a future where war is no longer thinkable between nation-states
and a legitimate and beneficial global government is able to cope with
global problems.
I believe that there is no greater task in the world today
than for the Global Community to proceed through the maturation of its
leadership, emerging from a more self-interested adolescence as a global
leader into a nobler adulthood. We have the potential to act as a torchbearer
for a better tomorrow. Do we heed the call? I hope this message has convinced
at least a few people that the question of how to proceed with that maturation
is of far deeper significance than the reforming of the United Nations.
I thus pray that we move with wisdom, grace, clarity, and love in the days,
years, and even decades ahead.
In order to create a harmonious and compassionate Global
Community, the following are laws, principles, and ways of life I ask everyone
to comply with:
The Global Constitution is grouped into subject matter areas known as Articles. Each Article is organized by a heading and section
numbers. The Table of Contents includes each Article heading and corresponding section numbers.
The Global Community has in fact been defined around a given territory,
that territory being the planet as a whole, as well as a specific population,
which is the Global Community. Global
Parliament 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.
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 conected 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, oil, minerals, other natural resources
rightly belong to the Global Community. The Earth is the birthright of all life.
Only the Global Community can rightfully claim ownership of the Earth. The Global Economic Model stipulates as well that we, as human beings, are trustees and caretakers
of all other life forms on Earth.
The Global Economic Model is global, as people are freed to move beyond
borders and boundaries and claim the whole Earth as their birthplace.
How the Earth should be owned is the major economic question of this
time. The world should be owned not just by the people living in it but by all life on Earth and the Soul of Life, the Soul of Humanity.
Unless a reformed or empowered Global Parliament is leading firmly upon
the principle of equal rights for the Global Community, then the planet
will be controlled by a handful of vested interests.
Land here, by definition, covers all naturally occurring resources like
surface land, minerals deposits (gold, oil etc), water, electromagnetic
spectrum, the trees, fish in the seas and rivers. It is unjust to treat
land as private property. Land is not a product of labor. Everyone should
therefore be given equal access to natural resources.
The Global Economic Model proposes to make private property the product of labor. Common property
is all what Nature offers. The Global Economic Model policy removes
taxes from wages and increases taxes and user
fees on common property.
The model eliminates subsidies that are environmentally or socially
harmful, and inequitable.
Only the Global Community can rightfully claim ownership of the Earth. "The Global Community is defined as being all
that exits or occurs at any location at any time between the Ozone layer above
and the core of the planet below."
Properly managed small farms along with ecological villages
can produce a diverse range of food, fiber, livestock, and energy products
for local markets. Bio methods of farming depending on renewable
energy sources can yield both social and environmental stability. Tax policies that remove taxes on labor and productive capital
will be the sustainable pillar that makes the global economic model This Global Movement for land value taxation and natural resource rent
for revenue can provide the basis for worldwide economic democracy. Freedom
to live or work in any part of the globe would also further equality of
entitlement to the planet, and provide a basis for the resolution of resource
wars and territorial conflicts. There would be no more private profit as
unearned income from Earth natural resources. Instead, transparent and
accountable resource agencies would collect resource rents and distribute
those funds in public services or as direct citizen dividends. With fundamental
democracy in rights to the Earth firmly established through legal means
and mandates, basic needs would be secured for all and the militarized
national security state and its bloated budgets could wither away.
The Global Community concept of ownership states that land
and natural resources of the planet are a common heritage and belong equally to everyone, to all life on Earth, as a birthright. Products and services created by individuals
are properly viewed as private property. Products and services created by groups of individuals are properly viewed as collective property.
Taxes should be designed to conserve resources and energy. Rather than taxing jobs and profits,
taxes should be moved to resource use and energy consumption and to reward conservation. A community should benefit from the use of commonly
held resources.
Taxes should be designed to increase employment. Moving taxes onto resources and land use and off of incomes should make people less
expensive to employ. Products produced by green production methods, which tends to use fewer resources and less energy should avoid
taxation. As energy costs rise, the price of labour becomes more economical, and green products which tend to encourage value-added
processes, should provide more high quality, skilled jobs than resource intensive products.
Resource taxes should be assessed as early as possible. Resources should be taxed before entering
the manufacturing process in order to green all aspects of the manufacturing process from extraction to the finished product.
Increasing taxes on resource and energy use will encourage resource and energy efficiency, innovation, reuse, repair, recycling, and used material recovery.
* Why are you important to this "Global
Community"? Conservation, restoration, and management of the Earth resources
is about asking ourselves the question of "Who owns the Earth?"
Primordial human rights are separate categories from those
of ecological rights, community 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.
Primordial human rights are those human rights that individuals
have by virtue of their very existence as human beings. Primordial human
rights are necessarily human needs but not all human needs are primordial
human rights. Nevertheless there are very specific primordial human needs.
First there are the material needs, the requisites for a dignified life: The Global Community asks how meaningful
is the right to life or to participation in political life if poverty,
gender inequality, destitution and epidemics prevent individuals from enjoying
freedom of movement, freedom to vote, to marry and so on? The Global
Community found evident that economic and social rights
are the essential prerequisite for the effectiveness and exercise of all
other rights (other than ecological and primordial human rights now and in the future) recognized for human beings.
The developing countries are having a harder
time than others to achieve the exercise of these rights on a lasting basis,
with the problems of economic globalization presenting new challenges.
We must therefore beware of enforcing economic rights alone to the detriment
of individual civil rights and the rights of all individuals to decide
their own fate and the future of their country, their political rights.
The universality of human rights recognizes the right of all individuals
to participate in the cultural life of their community and of other country,
to receive education and training, and to be informed. The Global
Community is aware that traditional customs and standards
could burden the sustainability of all life on Earth. They could burden
Earth society or any society forever, and holds individuals in a straitjacket.
We cannot accept that. No one can! There are choices to be made and you
must make them. Cultures can develop and can go on developing. Even religious
beliefs may evolve. We are living now and we are able to
create these changes. We are at least as bright, most certainly brighter,
than the people who were living thousand of years ago. As far as
the Global Community is concerned, cultural and religious
differences cannot be a reason or an excuse or a pretext for not respecting
human rights including and most importantly the ecological rights. Quite
the contrary, all kinds of cultures may promote human rights and especially
cultural rights. They are different in their achievements, but they are
equal in dignity where they are expressions of freedom. At any time
or in any given place, men, women and children use their culture to invent
new ways of making human rights a living reality. Diversity enriches us
if it respects the dignity of each individual, and if it takes account
of human rights as a whole.
Security is a primordial human and Earth right. The Global Community has broadened the traditional focus
of the security of nations to include both the security of people as well
as that of the planet. Global security policies include: Another major source of global unsecurity for people is
the culture of violence in everyday life as it is shown on television screens
and cinemas. The American Way of Life is creating this culture of violence.
An american child at age six year old has seen more violence on television
than any other child of the Middle East over a life span. This culture
of violence infects both industrial and developing countries, rich and
poor. This trend of culture of violence must end. The movie and TV industry and the Internet are a threat to global security.
The media is responsible for the propagation
of violence through communications. Why has government not done anyhting
to regulate the media industry? Surely everyone understood that on the
Scale of Global Rights security of the people of any nation is
more important than the human rights related to the freedom of expression
of the media industry. Security of the people and the state is on top of
the Scale. It is part of the primordial human rights. While freedom of
expression is a right found lower on the Scale and is classified partly
as:
Canadian multiculturalism is a symbiotical relationship between Canada, the Canadian people and the people of the world. The fundamental criteria is that a relationship is
created for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on
Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy. The Global Community is inviting you to participate in the formation of global
symbiotical relationships between people, institutions, cities, provinces,
communities, nations, and businesses.
Before you make your decision, we are asking you to read very carefully
the Criteria of the Global Community Citizenship, make sure
you understand every part of the criteria, and then make the oath of belonging
to the Global Community, the human family, Earth Community and Earth Government. You do not need to let go the citizenship you already have. No! You
can still be a citizen of any nation on Earth. The nation you belong to
can be called 'a global community'.
But you are a better human being as you belong also to the Global Community,
and you have now higher values to live a life, to sustain yourself and
all life on the planet.
You have become a person with a heart, a mind and Soul of the same as
that of the Global Community. The Global Community welcomes you! We need to take this stand for the survival of our species.
2. Acceptance of the concept of 'a global community'.
The concept of 'a global community' is part of the
Glass Bubble concept We have already said that 'a global community' is not
about a piece of land you acquired by force or otherwise. A typical global
community may be what a group of people, together, wants it to be. It can
be a group of people with the same values. It can be a group of people
with the same cultural background, or the same religious background. Or they may have totally different backgrounds and beliefs. One
could think of a typical global community of a million people that does
not have to be bounded by a geographical or political border. It can be
a million people living in many different locations all over the world.
The Global Community is thus more fluid and dynamic. The Global Community
is this great, wide, wonderful world made of all these diverse global communities.
We need to let go the archaic ways of seeing a community as the street
where we live and contained by a border. The people making a global community
may be living in many different locations on the planet. It can be a village,
or two villages together where people have decided to unite as one global
community. The two villages may be found in different parts of the world.
It can be a town, a city, or a nation. It can be two or more nations together.
We can no longer perceive ourselves as a People who could
survive alone and a People who does not need anyone else. We belong and
depend to this much larger group, that of the Global Community. The 21st
Century will see limitless links and symbiotical relationships with and
within the Global Community. A global symbiotical relationship between
two or more nations, or between two or more global communities, can have
trade as the major aspect of the relationship or it can have as many other
aspects as agreed by the people involved. The fundamental criteria is that
a relationship is created for the good of all groups participating in the
relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The relationship
allows a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy.
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 Global Rights and the
Global Constitution into our ways of life, justice, peace, cultural
and spiritual freedom, security, and many other important aspects as described
in the global
ministries (health, agriculture, energy, trade, resources,
etc.) 3. Acceptance of the Scale of Human and Earth Rights.
To determine rights requires an understanding of needs and reponsibilities
and their importance. The Scale
of Global Rights 5. Acceptance of your birth right of electing a democratic
government to manage Earth. 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 global 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 Earth Government) that representatives to Earth Government 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 Earth Government.
The Global Community Assessment Centre (GCAC) Certainly our work is sound. We have already produced very valuable
and original tools to help humanity: the Vision of Earth in Year 2024, We need to take this stand for the survival of our species.
Conservation, restoration, and management of the Earth resources
is about asking ourselves the question of "Who owns the Earth?"
Security is a primordial human and Earth right. The Global Community has broadened the traditional focus
of the security of nations to include both the security of people as well
as that of the planet. Global security policies include: Another major source of global unsecurity for people is
the culture of violence in everyday life as it is shown on television screens
and cinemas. The American Way of Life is creating this culture of violence.
An american child at age six year old has seen more violence on television
than any other child of the Middle East over a life span. This culture
of violence infects both industrial and developing countries, rich and
poor. This trend of culture of violence must end. The movie and TV industry and the Internet are a threat to global security.
The media is responsible for the propagation
of violence through communications. Why has government not done anyhting
to regulate the media industry? Surely everyone understood that on the
Scale of Global Rights security of the people of any nation is
more important than the human rights related to the freedom of expression
of the media industry. Security of the people and the state is on top of
the Scale. It is part of the primordial human rights. While freedom of
expression is a right found lower on the Scale and is classified partly
as:

)
Let us assume here that the beginning of our observable universe was a Big Bang. The conditions for the formation of life on Earth appeared gradually over the past billion years.
Souls were guiding the expansion of the universe and evolution of life in small ways so as to make it possible for life to evolve and be conscious of God.
The physical universe is a part of God. God is conscious of us through our Souls. In a way, Souls are 'God's plumbing
devices', God's ways to communicate with the physical universe, God's medium to connect with us. Most Souls as we see them
today are not as they were at the beginning of the universe. That is if there was such beginning. Let us say that at the beginning of our observable universe, there was the Primeval Atom or Big Bang.
Souls have merged and evolved ever since this beginning. The Primeval Atom was made of the pure light of God, which today we call Guiding Souls. Then
God allowed the Primeval Atom to explode and space, time and matter were formed and the universe evolved as we
observe it today.
Souls do their work at all times and everywhere over the entire universe. This is especially true during the formation of stars.
Stars are formed when a large cloud of dust particles collapse on itself by gravitational forces and other physical phenomena which may affect
their characteristics. Then a star, and planets with their moons, if any, are formed. After being born a star system has a lifetime of its own.
For instance, our Sun is believed to be about six billion years old, a young star really!
Souls continue to do their work at all times during the formation of a new star system. It is very likely that there are billions of
star systems with planets in our observable universe. Souls would have guided matter to create such systems to better serve God. The ultimate goal is the
creation of life on a planet. Life allows Souls to be conscious of God in many different ways, and thus to better serve God.
Now imagine a large cloud of dust particles and each particle has a Guiding Soul. As the cloud becomes a Star and planets, Souls start merging together.
The star itself, like our Sun, becomes a single, unique Soul serving God. The Sun spreads its light, its energy all around, DIVINE LOVE
and DIVINE WILL, helping life to be created on Earth. Earth itself also became one unique Soul to better serve God.
At the early stage of this expanding universe, every particle in the universe had a Soul each being a small part of the
primeval consciousness of God. Each Soul was the essence of a small part of God's Spirit. In a way, the essence of each
Soul is its own Spirit, itself a small part of God's Spirit. This is because God exists everywhere in the universe and in every
particle of all galaxies. Souls have an important intrinsic quality, they can merge together, a group of Souls can become one
Soul, a brighter one, different. This is what Souls do best, and it is to unify to better serve God. Souls can evolve as well.
A Soul's primary goal is to serve God. A Soul can affect matter to some extent so as to achieve God's Will.
At the early stage, when the Earth was formed, and a while later, all the conditions for the formation of life were present,
and life was created to better serve God. Life was made of matter and every particle of that matter had a Soul that merged
with all the others. That first spark of life had a unique and independent Soul, and its own Spirit, to better serve God.
Throughout the different evolutionary stages of life on Earth, Guiding Souls have guided the step-by-step evolution of life on Earth and kept merging to better serve God.
Guiding Souls guided the evolutionary process in small ways.
Many groupings of Souls became more complex than others as they were much brighter beings than other groupings, but all serve God in
their own special way. One unique and most wonderful grouping was the grouping that made the Human Soul. God loves
the human Souls a lot because of their wonderful qualities. Through their Souls human beings became conscious of God in
many different ways. Religions of all kinds started to spread on Earth over the past thousands of years to adore God and
pray. Different groupings of Souls affected human beings in different ways and Peoples today have different religious
beliefs. God is like a river feeding plentifully and bountifully all life and plants. There are many pathways leading to the river. They are God's pathways. God loves diversity in Nature and in Souls. God loves good Souls from all religions.
Different religions have different ways to love, adore and pray to God. And God's Heaven exists. Heaven on Earth is
different from God's Heaven. To be in Heaven with God will mean a Soul has left the matter of the universe forever to enter
God's Heaven.
There are other pathways for Souls to enter God's Heaven but they are God's pathways.
The Soul of Humanity is helping to bring about the event of Peace in the world. Knowing that Earth is a spiritual entity as well as a physical entity in space
and time in the universe we begin to have a better relationship with Earth and with all its living inhabitants. This way Earth
management will become a spiritual and a natural process whereby each person is responsible and accountable for its management the
best they can. Peace in the world and Earth management have for too long been in the hands of and affected by government and
business leaders, in the hands of a few people on the planet, as opposed to being in the hands of all of us (over 6 billion people on
Earth) working together to keep our planet healthy. We are the keepers of the Earth.
Souls exist in all spaces and are goal oriented. The one goal common to all Souls is to guide the matter of the universe towards the creation of life. Then life becomes
conscious of God. This goal is a global common to all Souls. We could compare it to the force fields of our universe: gravitational, electromagnetic, static magnetic,
electric, electrostatic, etc.
Souls exist in all particules and can have an effect on the physical universe. A Soul shows the way in whatever particule the Soul exists in. A Soul has one very important goal, and
it is to show the way toward the creation of life in the universe. That is why I referred to them as 'Guiding Souls'. Since time has no meaning to a Soul, the billions of years that it takes to create galaxies, planets, and
ultimately life, can always be achieved. Like an artist painting the universe making sure that, at the end, life is expressed on the canvas. Life is the ultimate goal
to achieve. Life is the way God has chosen for the physical universe to be conscious of God. A life-form with more physical senses has more ways to communicate with the Soul
and thus with God.
From life's viewpoint, the ultimate goal of a Soul is truly to create a symbiotical relationship between God and life in all its forms. God loves it when life becomes conscious of God.
And life has achieved its greatest purpose by being conscious of God.
The Soul of all Life or Soul of Humanity is a wonderful loving Being made up of the Souls of all lifeforms on Earth and the Soul of Earth
itself. This is what Souls do best, to unify and better serve God. They have merged together to better serve God. Souls can evolve as well, and they have.
They have formed a new Being, the Soul of all Life, also called the Soul of Humanity,
to better serve God.
Because of the danger of life extinction on Earth, the
Soul of Humanity will be helping us for some time.
The Soul of Humanity will help us:
* resolve problems, concerns and issues peacefully;
* reinstate the respect for Earth;
* work with humanity to keep Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things;
* bring forth a sustainable global society embracing universal values related to global rights, economic and social justice;
respect of nature, peace, responsibility to one another;
* protect the global life-support systems and manage Earth;
* evolve spiritually to fulfill God’s Plan; and
* enter God’s Heaven, God's Spirit, God's Pure Light, God's universal mind and global consciousness.
Life exists on millions of other planets in the universe, and our species got to be who we are today through the evolutionary process just described.
Other lifeforms in the universe may have evolved to be at least as advanced as our species. Their Guiding Souls may even be more
complicated than ours. They may have merged a trillion times more than our Souls. They may have evolved as well.
The Soul of the Global Community
The Soul of the Global Community is an other name for the Soul of all Life and for the Soul of Humanity.
The Global Community is very much active about educating the world concerning questions such as:
Heaven on Earth and God's Heaven!
What are Souls?
How were Souls created?
Why has God created Souls?
What can they do?
Liberating Souls from matter to bring humanity to God's Heaven!
How was the Soul of Humanity formed?
Why was it formed?
Why do People today have different religious beliefs?
What can religion do today to help manage Earth?
Because God is so powerful, and because we are so human
and so weak, we try to make demands on God. I have done so many times myself.
God let us live and die, and it is up to us to have a relationship with God. God lets us be free. We are free to make choices between
an infinite number of possibilities at each instant throughout our lives.
That is why we could never repeat exactly the same life all over again,
even given the same original circumstances. We are free to decide between
right and wrong. We are free to grow spiritually and live better lives
with our Souls and God. God does not tell us what to do or what not to
do, nor does our Soul. Except when Souls want to leave the matter of the universe forever to enter God's Heaven,
then God will show us the way.
Otherwise, we are truly free! Once a Soul has merged and evolved enough, it will want to enter God's Heaven. Then the Soul must follow God's pathway to God's Heaven.
The Soul will have been purged or purified before entering God's Heaven.
You can connect with God just by yourself! Just think of God, and there is God for you. Simple!
Our Soul can also help us make contact with God. God does not belong to any
particular religious institution. God does not belong to anyone in particular.
God is self-existent. The physical universe is a part of God. God is
conscious of us through our Souls.
The definition of the Global Community concept is truly the 21st century "philosophy of life" framework, some called it the religion of the third millennium, others called it
the politics of the future generations now.
This definition includes all people, all life on Earth. 
It also implicitly says that no-one in particular owns the Earth but we all own it together.
Not just us people, but all life on Earth owns it. The beginning of life
stretches as far back as 4 billion years, and so Life claims its birthright of ownership of Earth, and so does the Soul of all Life, the Soul of Humanity.
Following this thinking we see land ownership is no longer a problem. The Earth and all its natural resources belong to all the "global communities" contained therein.
A village, or a city is "a global community" and owns the land around its boundaries. Along with the Global Community, it has ownership of all natural resources within its boundaries.
As mentioned above, land here, by definition, covers all naturally occurring resources like surface land, the air, minerals deposits (gold, oil and gas etc), water, electromagnetic spectrum, the
trees, fish in the seas and rivers. It is unjust to treat land as private property or a commodity. Land is not a product of labor. Everyone should therefore be given equal
access to all natural resources.
On the global level the Law of the Seas Covenant is an example of a global community lease payment basis for public needs as it has affirmed that ocean resources are the
common heritage of all and a proper source of funding for global institutions. Water belongs to the Earth and all species and is sacred to life therefore, the world’s water must be conserved, reclaimed and protected for all future
generations and its natural patterns respected.
Water is a fundamental human right and a public trust to be guarded by all levels of government; therefore, it should not be commodified, privatized or
traded for commercial purposes. These rights must be enshrined at all levels of government. In particular, an international treaty must ensure these
principles are noncontrovertable.
Water is best protected by local communities and citizens, who must be respected as equal partners with governments in the protection and regulation of
water. Peoples of the Earth are the only vehicle to promote democracy and save water.
Similarly, all the Earth natural resources belong to the Global Community to be used, developed and protected for the maximum benefit of the people and of all
life.
The work of the Global Community, the global civil
society, and the determination of government worldwide, make it possible
for everyone to comply with the law. Building global communities requires
a mean to enforce Global Law for the protection of life on Earth. Global
Civilization guides humanity for the building of global communities. This
is a great opportunity for globallateralism. Global Law includes legislation
covering all aspects of human activities. The
Global Protection Agency
(GPA) will train and lead a global force, bypassing traditional peacekeeping
and military bodies such as the United Nations and NATO. The GPA will enforce
the law. And that is the third option we offer the Global Community. And
that is also how we can stop the global warming of the planet and protect
the global life-support systems, thus largely improving the quality of
life of the next generations.
Over its long past history trade has never evolved to require from the trading partners to
become legally and morally responsible and accountable for their products from beginning to end. At the end the product becomes
a waste and it needs to be properly dispose of. Now trade must be given a new impetus to be in line with the global concepts of
the Global Community. When you do exploration work, and develop, manufacture, produce, mine, farm or create a product, you become legally
and morally responsible and accountable of your product from beginning to end (to the point where it actually becomes a waste;
you are also responsible for the proper disposable of the waste). This product may be anything and everything from oil & gas,
weapons, war products, construction products, transportation and communications products and equipment, to genetically
engineered food products. All consumer products! All medical products! All pharmaceutical products! In order words, a person
(a person may be an individual, a community, a government, a business, an NGO, or an institution) becomes responsible and
accountable for anything and everything in his or her life.
Just as corporations have social responsibilities and so do consumers in societies. Consumers are socialized to improve the
quality of their lives. Quality of life is a multi-dimensional, complex and very subjective concept. For instance,
someone who has changed their consumption habits to better ensure that their choices will make a better quality of life for
themselves, the environment and future generations, may be seen by others as having a lower or inferior quality of life since they
have removed themselves from the materialistic mainstream characteristic of our consumer society. Someone may feel that an absence
of violence and abuse in their life leads to a higher quality of living even though they have fewer tangible resources, money, or
shelter; peace of mind and freedom from abuse has increased the quality of their daily life relative to what it was like before.
There are universal quality of life values which lead to "human betterment" or the improvement of the human condition. In addition
to the value of species survival (human and other living organisms), they include: adequate resources, justice and equality,
freedom, and peace or balance of power. A better quality of life for all people of the Global Community Earth Government is a goal for all of us and
one of our universal values.
The Global Community found that an adequate level of health care is a universal value as well as a human right. We expect adequate health services to
be accessible, affordable, compassionate and socially acceptable. We believe that every individual of a society is co-responsible
for helping in implementing and managing health programmes along with the government and the public institutions.
The Global Community has researched and developed Global Law 
which includes Earth and human rights, Statutes, Codes, Standards, Bills and other Legislation.
Global Parliament has approved Global Law.
Global Law consists of 69 codes, covering various subject areas, the Global Constitution, Bills and Statutes. Information presented reflects
laws currently in effect. All Codes have been updated to include Statutes of year 2005.
The Global Constitution 
and the Global Citizens Rights, Responsibility and Accountability Act
are important parts of Global Law and have also been approved by Global Parliament.
We call upon the national governments and legislatures of the world to ratify the Global Constitution and elect delegates to the House of the Global Governments Federation.

and God Revelations for the 21st Century and Beyond.
God prohibits killing, and no exception at all ought to be made to the commandment that it is always wrong to kill. The sanctity of human life is unconditional.
A short while ago God, Allah, has spoken to humanity once more. The
New Revelations
are to be added to previous ones revealed thousands of years ago. Together they are God's Word, and they will guide humanity for the thousands of years to
come. God has said:
"Thou shall banish war as a solution to problems between communities. All Souls involved with war, directly or indirectly, shall face the Soul of Humanity to be purified. All Souls involved in the making of weapons, war product
and equipment shall be facing the Soul of Humanity."
As a consequence, we, global citizens, utterly deny all outward wars and strife and fightings with outward weapons, for any end or under any pretence whatever, and we do certainly know, and so testify to the world, that the Spirit of Allah, God, which leads us to all
truth, will never move us to fight and war against any human being with outward weapons, neither for the kingdom of Allah, God, not for the kingdom of this world.
The Will of God is for life to reach God in the best possible ways. By observing the Universe, the galaxies, we are observing and studying God.
Life is the most precious gift ever given by God to the Universe. Life allows Souls to be conscious of God in as many different ways as possible. Life is the building block through which Souls can have a meaningful relationship with
God. There is more to the Universe we observe today, that is there is more to
God, much more. God is self-existent, eternal and infinite in space and time. Follow God's Word.
The Divine Plan for humanity is:
a) for everyone to manage Earth responsibly, and
b) about to reach the stars and spread Life throughout the universe and thus help other Souls to evolve and serve God in the best possible ways.
God loves the human Souls a lot because of their wonderful qualities. Through their Souls human beings became conscious of God in many different ways.
Over the past thousands of years, religions of all kinds
have started to spread on Earth to adore God and pray. Different groupings of Souls affected human beings in different ways and Peoples today
have different religious beliefs. God is like a river feeding plentifully and bountifully all life and plants. There are many pathways leading to the river. They are God's pathways. God loves diversity
in Nature and in Souls. God loves good Souls from all religions.
consists of the unique order that God set up in the entire universe from the first moment of creation.
Nature Law was discussed in more details during previous Global Dialogues. The Scale of Global Rights is the guiding tool helping us understand and follow Nature Law.
Read about it at the following Global Community website
and in May 2005 Newsletter.
Nature Law is itself a part of the Revelations for the 21st Century and beyond from God.
Revelations #5, 6, 7 and 10 are very clear about that.
Nature Law is also a fundamental pillar of the Global Constitution
and, therefore, of Global Law, the civic law of the global civil society.
is
helping to bring about the event of Peace in the world. Knowing that Earth is a spiritual entity as well as a physical entity in space and time in the universe we begin to have a better
relationship with Earth and with all its living inhabitants. This way Earth management will become a spiritual and a natural process whereby each person is responsible and accountable for its management the
best they can. Peace in the world and Earth management have for too long been in the hands of and affected by government and business leaders, in the hands of a few people on the planet, as opposed to
being in the hands of all of us (over 6 billion people on Earth) working together to keep our planet healthy. We are the keepers of the Earth.
Humanity has reached a point in its evolution where it knows its survival is being challenged. The human species knows through the Souls and now that human Souls have merged and formed the Soul of
Humanity, we will find it easier to fight for our own survival. The Soul of Humanity does not make decisions for us and can only help us understand and guide us on the way. In the past, human beings have
had some kind of symbiotical relationship (which is something common in Nature between lifeforms in an ecosystem) with the Souls, and now with the Soul of Humanity. We work together for both our
survival and well-being. Cooperation and symbiosis between lifeforms (especially human beings) on Earth and between lifeforms and their Souls and the Soul of Humanity have become a necessity of life.
We help one another, joint forces, and accomplish together what we cannot accomplish separately. Several billion years ago this symbiosis between matter and Souls resulted in the making of complex
biochemical systems. Symbiosis has worked throughout the evolution of life on Earth and today, the Soul of Humanity has decided to be more active with humanity by purifying Souls. The Soul of Humanity
shows us the way to better serve God.
The Soul of Humanity says today to the people who are related directly or indirectly to the war industry:
"I am the Soul of Humanity and of all that exists on Earth. My Temple is Earth! Not only are you thieves but you are murderers and killers. I know you all personally as your Souls are a part of me. They are
my eyes. You cannot hide and you cannot run. I will not whip you out of my Temple as Jesus did. I have no need for that! You are destroying yourself. The only problem is that you are also responsible for
the death of innocent and humble people. Life on Earth and the rest of humanity are threatened with extinction. This is insane! You have polluted air,water and land and you are still creating conflicts and
wars. Most often the innocent and the humble people are hurt or killed. I want you to put down your guns, all of you. You will recycle all your weapons, war heads and any war equipment and products.
You will stop destroying the ecosystem of the Earth right now. You will be a part of the grassroots process of the Global Community organization.
You will help to implement Global Law.
You will comply with Global Law. Earth shall be
a place of prayer and shall become a Heaven for Souls as it is for God. If we, Souls and God, can see life as the most precious thing ever created, and we see Earth as Heaven, why cant'you? After your
physical forms are dead, your Souls will separate from me and leave Earth forever.The purging and renewing of the Souls on Earth will last a millennium."
If you manufacture bombs, weapons of all types, war ships, war planes, or any other types of war equipment or products, directly or indirectly, and if you provide the services of war, you voted for a leader
who claimed war(or conflicts) as a way or a solution to a problem or concern, and/or if you are a soldier, a war maker or doer, then your Soul is facing the Soul of Humanity right now. And good-bye
Charlie! And good riddance! Have a good particle in empty space between the oldest galaxies of the Universe and you may keep it for another fifteen billion years! You will serve God right there after you
die! You will never see the light again! Earth wants Peace in the world and Earth shall have it. Because of a geographical or political border, or because of some cultural or religious differences, you could not
live and learn to be at Peace with the community next to you, your neighbors.
If you are an innocent, and you die because of a war or a conflict, and you did not participate in the above, your Soul will be back on Earth to taste life again within the 'top of the line species', ours, within
the Global Community and, as a Soul, you will be allowed to move up to a higher level closer to God. And God will be so much happier to be conscious of you. All
the other Souls (those who live a life for Peace and are helping Earth) will also be back on Earth and live a life closer to God.
(John 3:36 "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him")
All of you good Souls are my friends, and there is great joy and happiness in having you in Heaven on Earth. Your Soul and
Spirit will also be given a chance to leave the matter of the Universe forever and enter God's Heaven.
If you are innocent, and you die because of a war or a conflict, and you did not participate in the above, and you believe in Jesus, your Soul will leave the matter of the Universe forever
(Matthew 1:21 "for He shall save his people from their sins")
and will enter God's Heavens as promised by Jesus. Similarly, all the other Souls (those who live a life for Peace and are helping Earth, and also believed in Jesus),
after your physical forms have died, will leave the matter of the Universe forever and will enter God's Heaven as promised by Jesus.
There are other pathways for Souls to enter God's Heaven but, as explained above, they are God's pathways.
To be purified means a Soul loses all of its attributes as a human Soul. Then the Soul will be asked to serve God in a particle in the empty space between the oldest galaxies of the Universe. There will be no
interaction with another particle. The Soul will never see the light again.

submitted to it by national governments, local communities, and in some special cases by corporations, non-government-organizations and citizens, and to give advisory
opinions on legal questions referred to it by duly authorized organs and agencies. Researched and developed by the Global Community
Thus global rights include:
Global rights are defined in details in the section the Scale of Global Rights.
These rights are dependent of their position on the Scale of Global Rights.
This is the fundamental definition of the expression "Global Community" first defined by myself and my wife Virginie in 1985.
This definition includes all people, all life on Earth.
It also implicitly says that no-one in particular owns the Earth but we all own it together.
Not just us people, but all life on Earth owns it. The beginning of life
stretches as far back as 4 billion years, and so Life claims its birthright of ownership of Earth, and so does the Soul of all Life, the Soul of Humanity.
Throughout the global dialogues the land ownership of the Earth has meant ownership of the land and of all other Earth natural resources.
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. We are all members of the Global Community. We all have the duty to protect the rights and welfare of all species and all people. No humans have the right to encroach on the ecological space of other species and other people,
or treat them with cruelty and violence. All life species, humans and cultures, have intrinsic worth. They are subjects, not commodities, not objects of manipulation or ownership. No humans have the right to own other species, other people or the knowledge of other cultures through
patents and other intellectual property rights. Defending biological and cultural diversity is a duty of all people. Diversity is an end in itself, a value, a source of richness both material and cultural.
All members of the Global Community including all humans have the right to food and water, to safe and clean habitat, to security of ecological space.
These rights are natural rights, they are birthrights given by
the fact of existence on Earth and are best protected through global community rights and global commons. They are not given by states or corporations, nor can they be extinguished by state or corporate action. No state or corporation has the
right to erode or undermine these natural rights or enclose the commons that sustain all through privatisation or monopoly control.
A nation is defined primarily by its people, its communities; arts, history, social, languages, religious and cultural aspects included.
Fundamentally a nation or a state is defined as "a politically unified population occupying a specific area of land".
A global community has a well defined criteria based on global symbiotical relationships. And it does not require the occupation of a specific area of land.
These relationships allow a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy.
"A global community" is not about a piece of land you acquired by force or otherwise. One could think of a typical community that does not have to be bounded by a geographical or political
border. It can be people living in many different locations all over the world. The Global Community is thus more fluid and dynamic. We need to let go the archaic ways of seeing a community as the
street where we live and contained by a border. Many conflicts and wars will be avoided by seeing ourselves as people with a heart, a mind and a Soul, and as part of a community with the same.
The old concept of a community being the street where we live in and surrounded by a definite geographical and political boundary has originated during the Roman Empire period. An entire new system of
values was then created to make things work for the Roman Empire. Humanity has lived with this concept over two thousand years. Peoples from all over the world are ready to kill anyone challenging their
border. They say that this is their land, their property, their 'things'. This archaic concept is endangering humanity and its survival. The Roman Empire has gone but its culture is still affecting us today. We
need to let go the old way of thinking. We need to learn of the new concept, and how it can make things work in the world.
A typical community may be what a group of people, together, wants it to be. It can be a group of people sharing with the same values. It can be a group of people with the same cultural background, or the
same religious background. Or they can be people with totally different backgrounds and beliefs. The people making a global community may be living in many different locations on the planet. With today's
communications it is easy to group people in this fashion. It can be a village, or two villages together where people have decided to unite as one community. The two villages may be found in different parts of
the world. It can be a town, a city, or a nation. It can be two or more nations together.
The Global Community is thus more fluid and dynamic.
The Global Community is this great, wide, wonderful world made of all these diverse global communities.
Following this thinking we see land ownership is no longer a problem. The Earth and all its natural resources belong to all the "global communities" contained therein.
A village, or a city is "a global community" and owns the land around its boundaries. Along with the Global Community, it has ownership of all natural resources within its boundaries.
As mentioned above, land here, by definition, covers all naturally occurring resources like surface land, the air, minerals deposits (gold, oil and gas etc), water, electromagnetic spectrum, the
trees, fish in the seas and rivers. It is unjust to treat land as private property or a commodity. Land is not a product of labor. Everyone should therefore be given equal
access to all natural resources.
On the global level the Law of the Seas Covenant is an example of a global community lease payment basis for public needs as it has affirmed that ocean resources are the
common heritage of all and a proper source of funding for global institutions. Water belongs to the Earth and all species and is sacred to life therefore, the world’s water must be conserved, reclaimed and protected for all future
generations and its natural patterns respected.
Water is a fundamental human right and a public trust to be guarded by all levels of government; therefore, it should not be commodified, privatized or
traded for commercial purposes. These rights must be enshrined at all levels of government. In particular, an international treaty must ensure these
principles are noncontrovertable.
Water is best protected by local communities and citizens, who must be respected as equal partners with governments in the protection and regulation of
water. Peoples of the Earth are the only vehicle to promote democracy and save water.
Similarly, all the Earth natural resources belong to the Global Community to be used, developed and protected for the maximum benefit of the people and of all
life.
It is best for humanity and the increasing world population to see ourselves as people living together or
far apart but in constant communication with each other. A community has no boundaries.
A global symbiotical relationship between two or more nations, or between two or more global communities, can have trade as the major aspect of the relationship or it
can have as many other aspects as agreed by the people involved. The fundamental criteria is that a relationship is created for the good of all groups participating in the
relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global
economy.
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 Global Rights
and Global Law into our ways of life, justice, peace, cultural and spiritual freedom, security, and many other important aspects as described in the global ministries (health, agriculture,
energy, trade, resources, etc.).
The Global Community has shown that a global community can be united by religion to form a Global Government (GG). It does not have to be a democracy. A GG based on religion is very acceptable
to Earth Government and the Global Community. 
People can unite in any way they wish.
The number of people making a typical global community becomes important when a democratic election to elect representatives to the Global Community is going on. The voting system of the Global
Community is very simple and practical. Earth Government has established the criteria of 'a global community of a million people'.
One representative per million people. A global community of 300 million people would have three hundred representatives.
You should seek forming a Global Government (GG) with nations of similar beliefs and interests. We should seek to de-centralize the U.N. by creating GGs. 
We can no longer perceive ourselves as a People who could survive alone and a People who does not need anyone else. We belong and depend to this much larger
group, that of the Global Community. The 21st Century will see limitless links and interrelationships within the Global Community. That is the 'raison d'etre'
of the Global Governments Federation.
The power of Global Community was de-centralized to give each GG a better chance to find the right solutions to global issues. It can act faster and be more effective and efficient in
the context of the Global Community,
this great, wide, wonderful world made of all these diverse global communities within each Nation. The Global Community becomes thus more fluid and dynamic. A global
symbiotical relationship is created
between Nations and Global Community for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The relationship allows a global
equitable and peaceful development. This is
the basic concept that is allowing us to group willing Member Nations from different parts of the world.
Every single human being must deal responsibly with the affairs going on in his (her) own 'global community' ~ when a person takes personal responsibility for his own
affairs ~ he becomes empowered as a person. He can then reach beyond his own property and family, and help to work with others living in and around, even a part of the
local community he lives in ~ the villages, the town community, the surrounding territory, and so on.
The key is personal responsibility. Therefore the individual is the important element, one who takes responsibility for his community. This individual cares about jobs,
homes, streets, the welfare and success of his community.
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: the global civil society, the Earth Community, the human family, Earth
Government, all different ways of expressing the same people. 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, politicians are threatening the security of all people and all life on Earth. And that is the 'raison d'etre'
of the House of Advisors in Global Community.
People can unite in any way they wish.
You will be required to send representatives to your House of Advisors.
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 Global Community.
The Global Community has given
back responsibility to every citizen on Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being
of life within the Global Community. We will work together in working out sound solutions to local and global problems. It would be wrong and dishonest to
blame it all on the leader of a country. Most problems in the world must find solutions at the local and global community levels (and not assume that the
leader alone is responsible and will handle it). There is a wisdom in the ways of very humble people
that needs to be utilized. Every humble person deserves to have ideas respected, and encouraged to develop his or her own life for the better.
Sound solutions to help manage and sustain Earth will very likely be found this way. Everyone can help assess the needs of the planet and
propose sound solutions for its proper management, present and future. Everyone can think of better ideas to sustain all life on Earth and
realize these ideas by conducting positive and constructive actions. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound
solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an
action causing an irreversible loss; that is the grassroots process. Global Community can help you realize your actions by
coordinating efforts efficiently together.
The Global Community allows people to take control of their own lives. The Global Community was built from a grassroots process with a
vision for humanity that is challenging every person on Earth as well as nation governments. The Global Community has a vision of the
people working together building a global civilization
including a healthy and rewarding future for the next generations. Global cooperation
brings people together for a common future for the good of all.

Just a test, said the captain of the submarine that did it.
Climate change is a result of the rising global temperatures associated with global warming, the effects of which have a direct impact on all life on Earth.
Global warming due to human activities is contributing to the melting of the polar ice caps.
The Polar Regions are very sensitive indicators of global warming. These regions are highly vulnerable to rising temperatures and may be virtually ice free by the
summer of 2030.
The Northwest Passage is a sea route near the North Pole that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
In the past the Northwest Passage has been practically impassable because it was covered by thick, year-round sea ice. However, satellite and other monitoring
confirm that the Arctic sea ice has been declining in both thickness and size. A significant reduction last summer indicates that the summer ice may disappear much sooner
than expected. Canada urgently needs to understand better the processes involved. If it were to become more accessible to navigation and for longer portions of the year, the Northwest Passage would represent a potentially attractive and valuable
commercial shipping route.
The Arctic contains an estimated one-quarter of the world’s undiscovered energy resources, that is up to 50 per cent of the Earth’s remaining undiscovered
reserves of hydrocarbons are located north of 60°n latitude.
Canada’s Arctic territory and waters have been given increasing attention as areas for the:
Some people say it was a Magnitude 5.9 quake that hits off Indonesia. Be is there any proof of that? In the confusion of all, everyone believed what the media was saying. The media was being told information from governments but
no one actually can prove it was an earquake that created the tsunami. No one truly knows for sure. There is now another theory. A submarine was testing the use of nuclear war heads by exploding them over the ocean bottom.
Actually, it was not the first time that some nations have exploded nuclear war heads in the oceans. Our oceans have been hit several times. Exploding war heads in our oceans is at least as bad as a major oil spill. It is showing
barbarism. It is killing the global communities of life in the oceans and destroying the delicate balance of our oceans physical, biological and chemical characteristics that can accelerate the climate change drastically when disturbed. It
is showing ignorance and stupidity.
In 2004, the war heads were more destrutive and were over the bottom of the ocean, and that scenario created a tsunami wave. Just a test, said the captain of the submarine that did it.
Of course I have no proof of that. But then the only way you could prove it was truly an earthquake is by conducting an independent forensic investigation of the ocean bottom. So all we can say is that it is more likely that it was a
powerful nuclear explosion that created the tsunami. That is the goal of the military, to test its armament and they did. But they were not going to admit it to the world. Gees! Not a good thing to admit that you just killed thousands of
people and destroyed communities from several nations of the world. In today's planetary state of emergency, Global Law must be applied. All nations capable of such an extreme action against humanity and all life on Earth must pay
for the independent investigation. The Earth Court of Justice will see that Justice is done.
Would you agree that there is now a planetary state of emergency and that a nation or an organization is guilty until found not guilty and that we should protect
our oceans and all other global life-support systems by stopping those responsible and make them accountable?
The United States is the only nation that would profit from the melting of the North Pole and is capable of such an extreme action against humanity and all life on Earth by exploding nuclear bombs to melt glaciers and North Pole cap. The Earth Court of Justice will see that Justice is done. In view
of the planetary state of emergency, the Global Community says: for the protection of all life on Earth, a preventive principle is our only alternative. You are guilty until you can prove otherwise. Global Law must be applied. The
United States must pay for the independent investigation. Would you agree?
NATO and the White House claimed that they do what they are doing to give security to its population and to the world. In the past, security was thought as better accomplished through military means. Expanding the military capabilities and forming alliances with other nations were the only way to 'win'. That is how NATO came into existence. Today
wars are unlikely to produce winners. The Global Community is all over the planet. Ethnic groups are everywhere. Some say there are more Italians in Montreal, Canada that there are in Italy. So we would fight our own people? Wars
truly make no sense! The world is too crowded and too small nowadays! And weapons too lethal! So security cannot be achieved through the military. The only job the military should be asked to do today is to protect the global
life-support systems. These systems have the highest priority on the Scale of Global Rights and are certainly more important than any of the other rights on the Scale including security. Simply because without life there is
no other right possible. Without Oxygen there is no life! Without clean water there is no life! So protect life on Earth at all costs. Wars are the biggest threat to life and the ecosystem of the planet. Primordial human rights come next
on the Scale of Global Rights. Without a shelter life will still exist in some places but is hardly possible in cold place.
So security must be achieved by other means than wars. We might as well shelved the war industry, the worst of all polluters, 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 some Middle East country. 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. Global security can only be achieved if it can be shared by all peoples and through global co-operation, based on principles as explained in the Global Constitution such as justice, human dignity, and equity for all and for the good
of all. Would you agree that the military option and the war industry should be shelved foerever from humanity and never to be used again to solve a global problem?
The invasion of Iraq by the White House is now being seen as the biggest mistake ever done by a nation on
an other nation. It is a crime against humanity and all life on Earth, and a crime yet to be prosecuted. Would
you agree that those guilty of this crime be held responsible and made accountable?
The invasion of Afghanistan by the White House and other NATO nations has been flawed from the start.
The Afghan freedom fighters are the same people who help the USA fight the Russians during the Cold War.
They did not want invaders, Russians, Americans, or any other invaders, to be in their country. They took their
message to America on 9/11. Should Canada be getting out of Afghanistan as it is wrong and illegal to be part
of an invasion?
In view of the fact that the United Nations and many of 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 Global 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 global 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.
and that the permanent members of the United Nations are showing a destructive leadership to the Global Community, it has become clear that the United Nations should be
replaced by Earth Government.
In view of those facts alone, the people of the Global Community, all life on Earth, are in a planetary state of emergency.
Earth Government's action on
the international scene shall
be guided by, and designed
to advance in the wider
world, the principles which
have inspired its own
creation, development and
enlargement: democracy, the
rule of law, the universality
and indivisibility of human
rights and fundamental
freedoms, respect for human
dignity, equality and
solidarity, and for
international law in
accordance with the principles
of the Global Constitution.
Earth Government shall seek
to develop relations and build
partnerships with third
countries, and international,
regional or global
organisations, which share
these values. It shall promote
multilateral solutions to
common problems, in
particular in the framework of
Global Parliament.
Would you agree to replace the United Nations by Earth Government?
Building global communities require understanding of global problems this generation is facing. There are several major problems: conflicts and wars, no tolerance and compassion for one another, world overpopulation, human
activities, as population increases the respect and value of a human life is in decline, insufficient protection and prevention for global health, scarcity of resources and drinking water, poverty, Fauna and Flora species disappearing at
a fast rate, global warming and global climate change, global pollution, deforestation, permanent lost of the Earth's genetic heritage, and the destruction of the global life-support systems and the eco-systems of the planet. We need
to build global communities for all life on the planet. We need to build global communities that will manage themselves with the understanding of the above problems.
Obviously something has to be done! We propose a tight global policy, benignly
implemented, or it will be very nasty indeed. In practice, a human population of 10
to 12 billion would be too uncomfortably high and would add a high strain on
world resources. What kind of world population would be reasonable? What goal
should we aim at? A population should be small enough to be sustainable
indefinitely and still allow plenty of leeway for ourselves and other lifeforms. It
should also be large enough to allow the formation of healthy civilizations.
Comprehensive population policies are an essential element in a world
development strategy that combines access to reproductive health services,
education and economic opportunities, improved energy and natural resource
technologies, and to healthier models of consumption and the 'good life'.
Would you agree to the promotion of the world development strategy proposed by the Global Community?
The Global Economic Model proposed by the Global Community is truly
the best response to the world.
Again here we will keep this dialogue within the "philosophy of life" framework of the Global Community, some called it the religion of the third millennium, others called it
the politics of the future generations now. Let us remind everyone the definition that has been guiding us throughout the previous dialogues:
This is the fundamental definition of the expression "Global Community" first defined by myself and my wife Virginie in 1985.
This definition includes all people, all life on Earth.
It also implicitly says that no-one in particular owns the Earth but we all own it together.
Not just us people, but all life on Earth owns it. The beginning of life
stretches as far back as 4 billion years, and so Life claims its birthright of ownership of Earth, and so does the Soul of all Life, the Soul of Humanity.
Throughout this
dialogue the land ownership of the Earth means ownership of the land and of all other Earth natural resources.
"A global community" is not about a piece of land you acquired by force or otherwise. One could think of a typical community that does not have to be bounded by a geographical or political
border. It can be people living in many different locations all over the world. The Global Community is thus more fluid and dynamic. We need to let go the archaic ways of seeing a community as the
street where we live and contained by a border. Many conflicts and wars will be avoided by seeing ourselves as people with a heart, a mind and a Soul, and as part of a community with the same.
The old concept of a community being the street where we live in and surrounded by a definite geographical and political boundary has originated during the Roman Empire period. An entire new system of
values was then created to make things work for the Roman Empire. Humanity has lived with this concept over two thousand years. Peoples from all over the world are ready to kill anyone challenging their
border. They say that this is their land, their property, their 'things'. This archaic concept is endangering humanity and its survival. The Roman Empire has gone but its culture is still affecting us today. We
need to let go the old way of thinking. We need to learn of the new concept, and how it can make things work in the world.
A typical community may be what a group of people, together, wants it to be. It can be a group of people sharing with the same values. It can be a group of people with the same cultural background, or the
same religious background. Or they can be people with totally different backgrounds and beliefs. The people making a global community may be living in many different locations on the planet. With today's
communications it is easy to group people in this fashion. It can be a village, or two villages together where people have decided to unite as one community. The two villages may be found in different parts of
the world. It can be a town, a city, or a nation. It can be two or more nations together.
Following this thinking we see land ownership is no longer a problem. The Earth and all its natural resources belong to all the "global communities" contained therein.
A village, or a city is "a global community" and owns the land around its boundaries. Along with the Global Community, it has ownership of all natural resources within its boundaries.
We will see in the Preview how this new system can work.
As mentioned above, land here, by definition, covers all naturally occurring resources like surface land, minerals deposits (gold, oil and gas etc), water, electromagnetic spectrum, the
trees, fish in the seas and rivers. It is unjust to treat land as private property. Land is not a product of labor. Everyone should therefore be given equal
access to such natural resources.
On the global level the Law of the Seas Covenant is an example of a global community lease payment basis for public needs as it has affirmed that ocean resources are the
common heritage of all and a proper source of funding for global institutions. Water belongs to the Earth and all species and is sacred to life therefore, the world’s water must be conserved, reclaimed and protected for all future
generations and its natural patterns respected.
Water is a fundamental human right and a public trust to be guarded by all levels of government; therefore, it should not be commodified, privatized or
traded for commercial purposes. These rights must be enshrined at all levels of government. In particular, an international treaty must ensure these
principles are noncontrovertable.
Water is best protected by local communities and citizens, who must be respected as equal partners with governments in the protection and regulation of
water. Peoples of the Earth are the only vehicle to promote democracy and save water.
Similarly, all the Earth natural resources belong to the Global Community to be used, developed and conserved for the maximum benefit of the people and of all
life.
The Global Community should set up expert groups and begin the necessary intergovernmental
negotiations towards establishing alternative revenue sources, which could include fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the
skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees levied on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on carbon content of fuels.
This thinking should give us a fresh start for a better future and bring some light to understanding previous claims of the many different
groups such as:
Along with ownership comes the obligation of using the resources, sharing them or losing them.
Land and all other Earth natural resources are not commodities.
Use the land, share it or lose it. This principle also applies to banks and similar institutions
all over the world. You own property
because the previous owners could not pay. Use that property, share it or lose it.
None of the above groups can claim ownership of the land and other Earth natural resources. They never did own the land and of all other Earth natural resources. And they never will.
Only the Global Community can rightfully claim ownership of the Earth.
Along with ownership comes the obligation of using the resources, share them or lose them. Land and all other Earth natural resources are not commodities. Use the land,
share it or lose it. This principle also applies to banks and similar institutions all over the world. You own property because the previous owners could not pay. Use that
property, share it or lose it.
The theme of this Global Dialogue being "The planet-Life-Soul of Humanity symbiotical relationship", we will see how the relationship can help
this generation of young people and the next ones to remain healthy.
The young people of to-day are interested in all the secret wisdom behind all the existing religions and sifting out the common truths. They seek the best of the best. They are
aware of the Soul of Humanity and have established a spiritual symbiotical relationship with it, and thus with God. They seek the exaltation and merging of their Souls into one to gain strength, friendship,
creativity, love and light.
Their childhood conditioning has prepared them to act on a firm understanding of what it takes to get along with others, working as a group.
They are educated to understand a broad panorama of human truths ~ all those universal needs and rights every one shares. The Scale of Global Rights has become an inner truth and the
benchmark of the millennium in how they see all values. The Earth Court of Justice brings security, peace and justice for all. They no longer fear the unknown as Justice is for everyone and is
everywhere, a universal constant. The Global Justice Movement for all life is now driven by these young people.
They see money for what it is - energy to use for good.
Their idea of power is power over Self.
Each and every Self is dedicated to an idea for good that others can share together in creating this new Eden. Doing good and the well-being of the "other" have become the basic building block of any
symbiotical relationship.
What we have here is the birth of genuine group concern and unconditional support for the individual's well-being ~ a giant leap in human behaviour which could well change the functioning of global
communities everywhere. We are becoming the human family. This new "philosophy of life" of the Global Community has made grounds in people's way of life.
What we have here is the age of global co-operation and symbiotical relationships of all types for the good of all. An age with a mind, a heart and a Soul of its own. A unique and wonderful age never seen
before over the entire human history! An age with a vision to caring for life and Earth! An age of the Soul!
However, we have reached the deplorable circumstance where in large measure
a very powerful few are in possession of the Earth's resources virtually without taxation.
Whoever owns the land and all other natural resources exerts power over those who are landless and no resources. The Global Community proposes to
extend democratic principles to include the ownership and control
of the Earth. The Global Economic Model was created for all
the people on the planet. The model makes sure that the
rights of all people and the rights of the planet are one and the same.
The Global Community stipulates that land ownership is no longer a problem. The Earth and all its natural
resources belong to all the "global communities" contained therein. A village, or a city is "a global community"
and owns the land around its boundaries. Along with the Global Community, it has ownership of all natural
resources within its boundaries. So, by definition, land here, covers all naturally occurring resources like
surface land, the air, minerals deposits (gold, oil and gas etc), water, electromagnetic spectrum, the trees, fish
in the seas and rivers. It is unjust to treat land as private property. Would you agree with this definition?
Today, the people of the Earth Community, the Global Community, are using global dialogues to resolve conflicts, promote democracy, and fight hunger, terrorism, disease, and human and Earth 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 peoples of all Nations, in creating an ever closer Global Community among
them, 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 and justice.
The Global Communitycontributes
to the preservation and to the development of these common values while
respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of
all Nations as well as the national identities of Member Nations and the
organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local
levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures
free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, and the freedom of
establishment. To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection
of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress
and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more
visible in this Constitution.
The Global Constitution reaffirms, with due regard for the powers
and tasks of the Global Community and the principle of subsidiarity, the
rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions
and international obligations common to Member Nations, the Scale of Social Values, or Scale of Global Rights,
adopted by the Global Community,
and the case law of the Earth Court of Justice and of the
Court of Global Rights. Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities
and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future
generations. The Global Community therefore recognises the rights, freedoms
and principles set out hereafter.
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 spiritual belief, universal values, principles and aspirations of the Global Community will be attained by:
* practicing tolerance and living together in peace and harmony with one another as neighbours,
* promoting the economic and social advancement of all peoples,
* maintaining peace and security in the world by using negotiations and peaceful means,
* finding unity in diversity with all Life,
* establishing the respect for the life-support system of the planet,
* keeping Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things, and
* applying the principle that when there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible,
which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.
Realizing that:
* the Global Community today has come to a turning point in history,
and that we are on the threshold of new global order leading to an era of peace, prosperity, justice and harmony;
* there is an interdependence of people, nations and all life;
* humanity's abuse of science and technology has brought the Global Community
to the brink of disaster through the production of weaponry of
mass destruction and to the brink of ecological and social catastrophe;
* the traditional concept of security through military
defense is a total illusion both for the present and for future generations;
* misery and conflicts has caused an ever increasing disparity
between rich and poor;
* we, as Peoples, are conscious of our obligation to posterity to save the Global Community from
imminent and total annihilation;
* the Global Community is One despite the existence of diverse nations, races, creeds, ideologies and cultures,
* the principle of unity in diversity is the basis for a new age when war shall be outlawed and peace prevail;
when the earth's total resources shall be equitably used for human welfare; and when basic global rights, responsibilities and accountabilities shall
be shared by all without discrimination; and
* the greatest hope for
the survival of life on Earth is the establishment of a democratic Earth
Government.
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 global 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, which constitute the Preamble and Chapter 1 to Chapter 10 inclusive;
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, which constitute Chapters 20.24 and 23.3.2;
c) global societal sustainability, which constitutes Chapter 4.4 of this Constitution;
d) good Earth governance and management, which constitute Chapter 6.3.2 of this Constitution;
e) the Scale of Global Rights, which constitutes Chapter 10 of this Constitution;
f) the Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a Person and of the Global Community, which constitutes Chapter 6.3 of this Constitution;
g) the Criteria to obtain the Global Community Citizenship, which constitutes Chapters 6.1 and 6.2 of this Constitution;
h) consistency between the different policies and activities of Ethe Global Community, which constitutes Chapter 15 of this Constitution; and
i) a global market without borders in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capitals is ensured in accordance with this Constitution, which constitutes Chapter 16 of this Constitution;
j) the new ways of doing business in the world, which constitutes Chapters 16 and 17;
k) the Celebration of Life Day on May 26 of each year, which constitutes Chapter 20.7 of this Constitution;
l) the finding of an Earth flag, which constitutes Chapter 20.8 of this Constitution;
m) the ECO Award, which constitutes Chapter 20.9 of this Constitution;
n) the Portal of the Global Community, which constitutes Chapter 20.10 of this Constitution; and
o) the concept of a Global Dialogue, which constitutes Chapter 20.11 of this Constitution.
The Global Community shall reinforce humanity's new vision of the world throughout the millennium.
a) the Scale of Global Rights;
b) the Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a person and the Global Community; and
c) building global symbiotical relationships between people, institutions,
cities, provinces and nations of the world.
For the first time in human history, and the first time this millennium,
humanity has proposed a benchmark:
* formation of global ministries in all important aspects of our lives
* getting ride of corruption at all levels of government
* the establishment of Global Police to fight against the growing threat to the security of all Peoples, and to fight against global crimes
* the Scale of Global Rights as a replacement to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
* Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a person belonging to 'a global community' and to 'the Global Community'
* an evolved global democracy based on the Scale of Global Rights and the Global Constitution
* a central organization for Earth management, the restoration of the planet and Earth governance: the Global Community Assessment Centre (GCAC)
* the Earth Court of Justice to deal with all aspects of governance and management of the Earth
* a new impetus given to the way of doing business and trade
* more new, diversified (geographical, economical, political, social, business, religious) symbiotical relationships between nations, communities, businesses, for the good and well-being of all
* proposal to reform the United Nations, NATO, World Trade Organization, World Bank, IMF, E.U., NAFTA, FTAA, and to centralize them under Earth Government, and these organizations will
be asked to pay a global tax to be administered by the Global Community
* the Peace Movement of the Global Community and shelving of the war industry from humanity
* a global regulatory framework for capitals and corporations that emphasizes global corporate ethics, corporate social responsibility,
protection of human and Earth rights, the environment, community and family aspects, safe working conditions, fair wages and sustainable
consumption aspects
* the ruling by the Earth Court of Justice of the abolishment of the debt of the poor or developing nations as it is really a form of global tax to be paid
annually by the rich or industrialized nations to the developing nations
* establishing freshwater and clean air as primordial human rights
The Global Community found evident that
the ecological base is the essential prerequisite for the effectiveness
and exercise of all rights recognized for human beings. The stewardship
of the ecological base has to be given priority before the fulfilment of
various economic and social wishes. Demands resulting from the socio-economic
system of a particular country have to find their limits in the protection
of the global ecosystem. Vital interests of future generations have to
be considered as having priority before less vital interests of the present
generation. Supply chains have to be designed in a way, that the goods
can enter after usage or consumption into natural or industrial recycling
processes. If serious damages to persons, animals, plants and the ecosystem
cannot be excluded, an action or pattern of behaviour should be refrained
from. A measure for supplying goods or services should choose a path which
entails the least possible impact on the ecological and social system concerned.
This way functioning proven systems will not be disturbed, and unnecessary
risks will not be taken. Supply strategies consuming less resources should
have preference before those enhancing more resource consumption. When there is a need to find a
solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to
choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible
damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.
Land here, by definition, covers all naturally occurring resources like surface land, the air, minerals deposits (gold, oil and gas etc), water, electromagnetic spectrum, the
trees, fish in the seas and rivers. It is unjust to treat land as private property or a commodity. Land is not a product of labor. Everyone should therefore be given equal

The Global Community has proposed a democracy for the people based on the fact that land, the air, oil, minerals, other natural resources
rightly belong to the Global Community. 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.
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.
So the ownership of the land and the natural resources will be challenged by the Global Community.
People need all tax dollars to take on the challenge but first must get out of spending on the military invasion of nations.
Before we introduce the Global Community perspective, let us try to answer a few simple questions.
After all the technology in the world has been used to get to the Moon, and now Mars, all the hard work, all the sweat and pain endured, and more, much more, to finally put a flag on the
Moon. Amazing human achievement! We can really be proud of a team that did it.
Just like the first European explorers who discovered America, they arrived and conquered. Natives did not have a chance.
Natives said America was their home. But no longer! The explorers said it is now ours. Most Natives were shot in the USA. More survived in Canada!
Explorers were not doing this hard work just for the pleasure of finding something new. Their countries sent them and pay for their expenses. Explorers were expected
to find something tangible that could make their countries proud and rich.
The question should be how does this relate to ownership of the Earth?
Does putting a flag on the Moon gives you ownership of the Moon?
Does putting a flag on Mars gives you ownership of the planet?
Does discovering the Americas by explorers gave them ownership of the Americas?
Does climbing Mount Everest gives ownership of the mountain?
The answer is no. None of the above own whatever they claim they do own.
Does mapping the ocean floor gives you ownership of the land nearby? No it does not.
Just because you put a flag on the Moon means you own the Moon. It just does not work that way.
A dog, a bear, a wolf, and many other life species, leave 'something' at the bottom of a tree, a bush, a building, a park bench, but this does not mean the life species owns the
tree, the forest, the park, the building or the town. People can leave a flag or whatever else, but that does not mean they own the Moon, planet Mars, Nunavut or Greenland.
From the Global Community perspective, any new sustainable community brave enough to live on a new, inhabitated land
owns it. That is a basic principle. There no need to ask permission from any organization such as the International Court of Justice or the United Nations.
Someday people from a nation will land on the Moon and on planet Mars for the purpose of settling a colony. They wont ask permission from anybody because there is no one there.
People from another nation might do the same and settle a colony somewhere else on the Moon and Mars. There again they dont need to ask permission to do so.
Things get more complicated when a nation is a predator nation like the first explorers of North America. There were people living on the continent.
The explorers shut dead the natives when they got there. The explorers behave very much like predators. And the nations they represented were predator nations.
A predator nation is behaving more or less like a shark eating smaller fishes. No organization in the world should be going along with such human behavior.
Civilized people can live without killing others to survive. We dont need blood resources to survive. The global
civilization we have created has called upon the Agency of Global Police (AGP) to deal with predator nations.
Now let us deal with the problem of sovereignty over a territory.
The Global Community has established a criteria for a global community to exist.
What makes a 'nation' ? And what makes 'a global community' ?
A nation is defined primarily by its people, its communities; arts, history, social, languages, religious and cultural aspects included.
Fundamentally a nation or a state is defined as "a politically unified population occupying a specific area of land".
Perhaps it is time to leave behind the concept of 'nation'. It has confusing meanings and has been over-used in many situations and by everyone. Is it truly necessary
to discuss about it? I dont think so. Let us move on to the twenty first century. The Global Community has researched and developed new global concepts more
appropriate to our times. The concept of 'a global community' 
is one of them and is certainly a powerful new concept that will make its place in history.
A global community has a well defined criteria based on global symbiotical relationships. And it does not require the occupation of a specific area of land.
These relationships allow a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy.
The definition of the Global Community is:
The Global Community is this great, wide, wonderful world made of all these diverse global communities.
Criteria for sovereignty
The Earth and all its natural resources belong to all the "global communities" along with the Global Community where they are found.
A village, or a city is "a global community" and owns the land around its boundaries. Along with the Global Community, it has ownership of all natural resources within its boundaries.
works for all.
Fot the protection of global communities worldwide we will need to create economic stability by way of Earth rights and taxation of natural resources.
Section 1 on the Scale of Global Rights, the ecological rights and the protection of the global life-support systems, is concerned with the conservation of those natural resources of
Earth which are limited so that present and future generations may continue to enjoy life on the planet.
* Why is it important to you?
* What do you like about it?
* What bothers you about it?
* Anything need to be done?
* What is really good there?
* What is very very important?
* What is not so important?
* What is not good?
* What is needed to keep the good things?
* What could make them even better?
* What could you do to keep the good things good?
* Could they help get rid of bad things?
* What unimportant things need to go?
* How could you help get rid of these things?
to sustain the Global Community, humanity and all life.
The Global Community is this great, wide, wonderful world made of all these diverse global communities of all life-forms.
It also implicitly says that no-one in particular owns the Earth but we all own it together.
Not just us people, but all life on Earth owns it. The beginning of life
stretches as far back as 4 billion years, and so Life claims its birthright of ownership of Earth, and so does the Soul of all Life, the Soul of Humanity.
The land ownership of the Earth means ownership of the land and of all other Earth natural resources.
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.
We are all members of the Global Community. We all have the duty to protect the rights and welfare of all species and all people. No humans have the right to encroach on the ecological space of other species and other people,
or treat them with cruelty and violence. All life species, humans and cultures, have intrinsic worth. They are subjects, not objects of manipulation or ownership. No humans have the right to own other species, other people or the knowledge of other cultures through
patents and other intellectual property rights. Defending biological and cultural diversity is a duty of all people. Diversity is an end in itself, a value, a source of richness both material and cultural.
All members of the Global Community including all humans have the right to food and water, to safe and clean habitat, to security of ecological space.
These rights are natural rights, they are birthrights given by
the fact of existence on Earth and are best protected through community rights and global commons. They are not given by states or corporations, nor can they be extinguished by state or corporate action. No state or corporation has the
right to erode or undermine these natural rights or enclose the commons that sustain all through privatisation or monopoly control.
The Global Community found evident that
the ecological base is the essential prerequisite for the effectiveness
and exercise of all rights recognized for human beings. The stewardship
of the ecological base has to be given priority before the fulfilment of
various economic and social wishes. Demands resulting from the socio-economic
system of a particular country have to find their limits in the protection
of the global ecosystem. Vital interests of future generations have to
be considered as having priority before less vital interests of the present
generation. Supply chains have to be designed in a way, that the goods
can enter after usage or consumption into natural or industrial recycling
processes. If serious damages to persons, animals, plants and the ecosystem
cannot be excluded, an action or pattern of behaviour should be refrained
from. A measure for supplying goods or services should choose a path which
entails the least possible impact on the ecological and social system concerned.
This way functioning proven systems will not be disturbed, and unnecessary
risks will not be taken. Supply strategies consuming less resources should
have preference before those enhancing more resource consumption. When there is a need to find a
solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to
choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible
damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.
The four interacting circles are quality systems.
They are used because together they form a neat
geometric expression about a complicated intellectual concept. They represent interactions.
These interactions occur between the systems and within each individual system.
Here same-size circles represent mathematical local/global indicators that have been
developed for assessing and measuring sustainable development within four important realities in local/global life.
The scale used within the mathematical model reflects the importance of each quality system in ensuring a sound future for Earth.
People need a healthy environment and resources for family, community, government, business and industry.
Businesses cannot thrive without people and resources.
Earth resources need to be managed wisely so they last longer and be of good use for all of us and the next generations. Let us not waste.
Let us protect all life.
Economic stability depends on people, resources, and good businesses and trade.
The Global Economic Model
was developed to bring stability. The Global Community will help businesses to be part of the
solution to the challenges of globalisation. In this way, the
private sector in partnership with civil society can help realize
a vision: allowing a global equitable and peaceful development
and a more stable and inclusive global economy.
And all of the above cannot exist without a healthy environment.
The four interacting circles are a simplistic expression of our need for one another, our
interactions, our symbiotical relationships, and the thoughtless damage we can cause if not careful. We are worlds within worlds orbiting in and through each other’s space.
This interaction can be planned and executed in a caring, considerate manner so that all may exist and not destroy the other.
The four interacting circles also give us an indication of how difficult it may be to apply Global Justice for all life on the planet, and how
difficult it is to include the needs of the next generations in our ways of doing things. It has been necessary to
conduct a two decades long Global Dialogue, and longer even, to find a process for the establishment of justice amongst us all. We are now seeing all aspects
of life through a single focusing lens we have called Global Law.
And that is the framework of Global Justice for all life on the planet as researched and developed by the Global Community.
Global Community is promoting the settling of disputes between nations through the process of the Earth Court of Justice. Justice for all is what we want. Justice is a universal value for anyone, anywhere, and in any situations.
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. Only the Earth Court of Justice can evaluate the creation
of a new nation and dealing with conflicts.
All nations have to be educated of the new way for the good of all.
Global Community is promoting that the creation of a new nation does not have to be at the expenses of human lives and destruction of an entire world. It can and should
always be done through a decision made by a higher Court. We are promoting the immediate use of this higher Court, the Earth Court of Justice to hear cases and to prosecute those nations, corporations, communities, individuals who commit crimes
such as:
* nation states
* national political and military leaders accountable for violations of international humanitarian law
* 'core' crimes of genocide
* crimes against humanity and human and Earth rights
* war crimes
* crimes with significant impacts perpetuated against the life-support systems of the planet (for instance wars and use of weapons of widespread destruction are listed under this category)
* crimes related to the relentless misused of the Earth resources
* environmental crimes
* social crimes as the Court may see apply
* crimes stemming from the global ministries
The Court will also be asked to decide on
* the formation of a new nation in the world,
* on disputed lands between nations,
* the de-institutionalization of market speculation, and
* the annulment of the debt of poor or 'developing' nations as the loans are actually a form of global tax given by the rich nations to the poorer ones.
The IMF and World Bank loans are called taxes from the rich nations paid to the 'developing' nations; these loans/taxes are really a method of raising global
taxes, of redistributing incomes to the poorest communities, of providing debt-free
technical assistance to non-industrial and 'developing' countries to help them out of poverty and to meet environmental and social standards.
These loans/taxes are not to be paid back to the rich nations.
The Court decides in accordance with:
* the Scale of Global Rights,
* the Global Constitution
* Global Law
* the Global Citizens Rights, Responsibility and Accountability Act
* the belief, values, principles and aspirations of Global Community,
* international treaties and conventions in force,
* international custom,
* the general principles of law, and
* as subsidiary means, judicial decisions and the teachings of the most highly qualified publicists.
The business community can help to create a biodiversity zone in the North by changing its ways of doing things, and ways of doing business,
and operate its business as per the Scale of Global Rights.
Competition wil only be good when corporations, the business world, has accepted the new way of doing business and obtained the
Certified Corporate Global Community Citizenship.
Over its long past history trade has never evolved to require from the trading partners to become legally and morally responsible and
accountable for their products from beginning to end. At the end the product becomes a waste and it needs to be properly dispose of. Now
trade must be given a new impetus to be in line with the global concepts of the Global Community. You manufacture, produce, mine, farm or
create a product, you become legally and morally responsible and accountable of your product from beginning to end (to the point where it
actually becomes a waste; you are also responsible for the proper disposable of the waste). This product may be anything and everything from oil & gas, weapons, war products, to genetically engineered food products. All consumer products. All medicinal products! All pharmaceutical products!
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' is certainly a proof of this statement.
Building global communities require understanding of global problems this generation is facing. There are several major problems: conflicts and wars,
no tolerance and compassion for one another, world overpopulation, human activities,
as population increases the respect and value of a human life is in decline,
insufficient protection and prevention for global health, scarcity of resources and drinking water, poverty, Fauna and Flora species disappearing at a fast rate,
global warming and global climate change, global pollution, deforestation, permanent lost of the Earth's genetic heritage, and the destruction of the global life-support systems and the eco-systems of the planet. We need to build global
communities for all life on the planet. We need to build global communities that will manage themselves with the understanding of the above problems.
Results from previous Global Dialogues
have showed us that the governance of Earth through global cooperation and
symbiotical relationships was the only possible option for a large population such as the Earth's population, and so, to help
achieve this goal we have developed the Global Constitution
and the
Global Citizens Rights, Responsibility and Accountability Act
to govern ourselves as member nations of Earth Govewrnment.
Building global communities requires a mean to enforce global law that protects all life on Earth.
Earth Government Agency of Global Police will train and lead a global police force, bypassing traditional peacekeeping and military bodies such as the United Nations and NATO.
This is a great opportunity for globallateralism.
The Agency of Global Police (AGP) is leading a group of people in the world who participate in:
a) peacekeeping and peacemaking mission;
b) creating global ministries for:
1. the policy response to the consequences of the global warming, and
2. the development of strategies to adapt to the consequences of the unavoidable climate change.
c) enforcing global law;
d) saving the Earth's genetic heritage;
e) keeping the world healthy and at peace;
f) protecting the global life-support systems and the eco-systems of the planet;
g) dealing with the impacts of: global poverty, lack of drinking water and food, global warming and the global climate change, threat to security, conflicts and wars,
lack of good quality soil for agriculture, polluted air, water and land, overcrownded cities, more new and old diseases out of control, widespread drugs, human and Earth rights
abuses, world overpopulation, and lack of resources;
h) broadening the traditional focus of the security of states to include both the security of people as well as that of the
planet. Global security policies include:
* every person on Earth has a right to a secure existence, and all states have an obligation to protect those rights
* prevention of conflicts and wars; identification, anticipation, and resolving conflicts before they become armed confrontations. The Earth
Court of Justice will help here.
* military force is not a legitimate political instrument
* weapons of mass destruction are not legitimate instruments of national defence
* eliminate all weapons of mass destruction from all nations and have inspectors verifying progress to that effect
* all nations should sign and ratify the conventions to eliminate nuclear, chemical and biological weapons
* the production and trade in arms should be listed as a criminal act against humanity; this global ministry will introduce a
Convention on the curtailment of the arms trade, a provision for a mandatory Arms Register and the prohibition of the financing or
subsidy of arms exports by governments
* the development of military capabilities is a potential threat to the security of people and all life on Earth; the ministry
will make the demilitarization of global politics a high priority.
* anticipating and managing crises before they escalate into armed conflicts and wars
* maintaining the integrity of the environment and global life-support systems
* managing the environmental, economic, social, political and military conditions that threatened the security of people and all life on the planet
* over the past decades and even now today, all Five Permanent Members of the United Nations Security Council (mostly the United States,
Russia and Britain) were responsible for selling weapons and war equipment. These three nations are required to give back to the Global Community
an amount of 8 trillion dollars (American) as a payment for the immense damage they have caused in the world. They have created a culture
of violence throughout the world. They are nation bullies, nation predators. They are responsible for economic mismanagement, ethnic tensions,
crimes, drug abuse, high unemployment, urban stress, worldwide poverty, and pressures on natural resources. Most conflicts in the world
are direct legacies of cold war power politics, senseless politics. Other conflicts were caused by the end of the cold war and the collapse
of old regimes. Other factors have combined to increase tension: religious, economical, political, and ethnic aspects.
In the past, security was thought as better accomplished through military means. Expanding the military capabilities and forming alliances
with other nations were the only way to 'win'. Today wars are unlikely to produce winners. The Global Community is all over the planet. Ethnic
groups are everywhere. Some say there are more Italians in Montreal, Canada that there are in Italy. So we would fight our own people? Wars truly
make no sense! The world is too crowded and too small nowadays! And weapons too lethal! So security cannot be achieved through the military. The
only job the military should be asked to do today is to protect the global life-support systems. These systems have the highest priority
on the Scale of Global Rights and are certainly more important than any of the other rights on the Scale including security. Simply because without life there is
no other right possible. Without Oxygen there is no life! Without clean water there is no life! So protect life on Earth at all costs.
Wars are the biggest threat to life and the ecosystem of the planet. Primordial human rights come next on the Scale of Global Rights. Without a shelter life will still exist in some places but is not possible in cold place.
There are many related aspects of the global life-support systems:
* global warming
* Ozone layer
* wastes of all kind including nuclear and release of radiation
* climate change
* species of the fauna and flora becoming extinct
* losses of forest cover and of biological diversity
* the capacity for photosynthesis
* the water cycle
* food production systems
* genetic resources
* chemicals produced for human use and not found in nature and, eventually, reaching the environment with impacts on Earth's waters, soils,
air, and ecology
So 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
Global security can only be achieved if it can be shared by all peoples and through global co-operation, based on principles as explained
in the Global Constitution such as justice, human dignity, and equity for all and for the good of all. All people and states
are protected by the Global Community.
The Agency of Global Police provides leadership for training of other countries' citizens who would like to participate in peacekeeping and Earth security ...
so that we have a ready cadre of people who are trained and equipped and organised and have communications that they can work with each other.
The overall size of the force, or who would pay for it, have not been discussed, but the idea has been raised with countries in Europe and Asia.
To act as a global policing force, as the AGP aspires to do, many foundations must be laid, especially regarding the move from wielding power derived from
the Global Community to legitimate global leadership. There are many required characteristics that are prerequisite for legitimate leadership:
1. Legitimate leadership is built upon trust. Those who are led must largely believe that the leader is committed to integrity, honesty, and transparent inquiry into problems. The leader’s actions must align with his words
2. Legitimate leadership rests upon checks and balances, which are necessary to ensure power is not corrupted.
3. Legitimate leadership is an act of service. Those in power must show a primary interest in the good of the collective ahead of their self-interest. In this way, true leaders are mission-centered rather than self-centered.
4. Legitimate leadership empowers others appropriately rather than concentrating power disproportionately. In other words, true leaders produce more leaders and empower them as situations demand.
5. Legitimate leadership is visionary, carrying the torch of a possible future.
6. Legitimate leadership is willing to lead by example, including following a foundation of ethics, performing more than one’s share of work, and making sacrifices where appropriate.
7. Legitimate leadership is compassionately fierce when something undermines the good of the whole.
In a company this might mean the CEO fires a slacking employee. In a city, the police may jail a murderer. On a global level, this might even mean
arresting those breaking global law.
The defence function of a leader requires that he safeguard the good of the whole by whatever the most skillful means are to accomplish that defence.
While that is not a comprehensive catalog of leadership prerequisites, I do think those few requirements are foundational and relatively unquestionable.
Without at least a solid foundation of those requirements, the AGP’s actions among nation-states will remain those of a unilateralist leader rather than a global leader.
We will be, and should be, legitimated in the role of a global leader among nation-states and validated as police enforcer.
The Global Community offers a few recommendations for actions that would strengthen and legitimate the AGP’s role as a true global leader by gradually creating an international structure
that better safeguards the whole than we can ever do now as a unilateralist leader.
The AGP recommendations:
1. Ban military action in all parts of the world;
2. Lead the way in creating legitimate power for Global Parliament, subjecting ourselves and multinational corporations to taxation that generates money for programs
that are focused on world betterment and world problems. As a mark of our global leadership, we should commit a greater percentage of our resources to this effort
than any other organization.
3. Hold ourselves to a high standard of compliance around global treaties that aim for collective benefit and the redress of economic, environmental, military,
and political problems. Our adherence should be exemplary. Or, if we truly question the merit of a global accord, we should lead the way in creating agreements
that even better serve the global interest rather than simply ignoring or undermining the existing attempts.
4. Exert strong global leadership on multinational solutions to pressing health, environmental, and other problems. We should propose innovative new solutions and show leadership in carrying them out, especially in areas such as clean energy development.
5. Take seriously the process of coming clean by exposing corporate interests in politics, lobbying by powerful organizations,
subsidies of fringe military groups, etc. When our global government officials commit to be honest and transparent, a much deeper foundation of international trust
will be built.
As we enact global law, we will begin to take on a much deeper kind of global leadership, one that earns more respect than envy and more gratitude than hatred, one that
can catapult the whole planet forward into a future where war is no longer thinkable between nation-states and a legitimate and beneficial global government is able to cope
with global problems.
I believe that there is no greater task in the world today than for the Global Community to proceed through the maturation of its leadership, emerging from a more self-interested
adolescence as a global leader into a nobler adulthood. We have the potential to act as a torchbearer for a better tomorrow. Do we heed the call? I hope this message has convinced
at least a few people that the question of how to proceed with that maturation is of far deeper significance than the reforming of the United Nations. I thus pray that we move
with wisdom, grace, clarity, and love in the days, years, and even decades ahead.
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.
The USA have given Israel enough WMDs, including nuclear war heads, capable to destroy the entire Middle East region and no sanctions were ever enforced against Israel
and the USA. They were given to Israel by the United States. Israel was made the Trojan Horse of the USA for the invasion of the Middle East and surrounding nations, including
China. Back in 1947, the creation of the State of Israel was a strategic military move by the USA military aiming at the invasion of the Middle East and securing
for themselves the oil and gas reserves in the region.
Where was the leadership of the Un Security Council?
What have you done to stop the invasion? Nothing! You have never done anything to help humanity and all life on the planet.
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.
The following table shows their names and one kind of WMDs they possess.

The North Korea crisis is just another example of the lack of proper leadership of the United Nations. Everyone saw the problem coming from the time President Bush insulted:
Kim Jong-il, the leader of Democratic People's Republic of Korea,
Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, and
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Remember the now famous 'axe of evil' expression?!
The world knew America was invading the Middle East. Why has the UN not enforced hard sanctions against the USA for its bullying tactics at the UN to get what it wants?
Proper UN leadership could have avoided the situation we have today. The UN did nothing at a critical time and just watched things happening.
The UN is the organization where bullying takes place by those with nuclear war heads. The world is threatened by nuclear war heads. The Five Permanent Members of the UN
are allowed to bully any other nations. They are holding the world hostage with the threat of their nuclear war heads. They are all terrorist governments.
There are Global Community Arrest Warrants against all Five Permanent Members leaders. They are terrorists, dangerous criminals, and must be stopped.
We will disarm you, like or not! Life on Earth has no need of all you with nuclear war heads and other WMDs.
If you refuse to disarm it will be because you are very much like those others you accuse of being terrorists: you are the worst terrorists on the planet.
The USA is invading the world, and the UN can do nothing to stop them. The USA was allowed to invade other nations, change their governments,
and has often made lies in speeches to the UN, to the world. Remember what the US representatives told the world at the UN prior to the invasion of Iraq? Lies! All lies!
And the leadership of the UN never did anything to reprimand the US representatives and implement hard sanctions for the invasion of Iraq.
Ever since its creation in 1947, the USA have given Israel enough WMDs, including nuclear war heads, to destroy the entire Middle East region and no sanctions were ever enforced against Israel and the USA. Where was the UN leadership?
What has the UN done to stop the invasion? Nothing! The UN has never done anything to help humanity. And that is a crime against humanity.
There is now a Global Community Arrest Warrant against Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary-General. Many reasons!
He is a criminal because he had the power and was able to show leadership as per the Charter of the UN but never did anything to follow those principles
in the Charter he was supposed to be standing for. To do nothing is a crime against humanity and all life on Earth.
It is pure disgrace that we now have the UN organization allowing the USA break the friendship between North Korea and China.
The USA invaded the Middle East in a similar way: breaking frienships between the different communities of the Middle East, creating hate between communities.
The USA is responsible and accountable for the civil war in Iraq.
In conclusion, the eventual invasion of China is the reason why the United States dont want North Korea and other Middle East nations to have nuclear weapons. What else could it
be? Americans are all over the Middle East creating hate between the different communities, invading, stealing oil and gas reserves, and spreading the false belief that
democracy is the best political system. Democracy got us to where we are today: the worst polluters on the planet and threatening the existence of all life. Our consumer driver
political system is wrong. Our ways of life are wrong! We know it, and we still try to impose them to other Peoples. America would like the Peoples of North Korea, China and of the Middle East nations
to be like us consumers, the worst polluters and on a planetary destructive path. In this way, Americans back home would not be feeling so guilty of being so bad.
They would rather let others take the blame for their failure as a society.
Have you ever flown over North Korea at night? Almost no light above cities! Why? No electricity! That makes them environmentally friendly and non-polluters. What about
plastics!? To have no electricity implies no consumer products made of plastics. No fridges! No freezers, which also means that they do not destroy the Ozone layer around the planet, a global life-support system to all life. Fridges
and freezers use refrigerants which eventually are released to the atmosphere and destroy the Ozone layer. We could go on listing the implications of no light at night. Yet the people of North Korea live happy lives. Well! That was
until Americans got into the picture. The people of North Korea are the most environmentally friendly people on the planet and Americans are jealous of that. Americans want
everyone on the planet to be just like they are in America: the worst polluters on a planetary destructive path.
And guess who is next: China. Americans want the people of China to be just like they are: a consumer driven society and
the worst polluters. And the invasion of China is their long term economic and military plan. If the United States can destroy North Korea,
and its friendship with China,
they can destroy China.
North Korea is just a strategic military test to see how far and how well Americans can do invading the region without being told off. And what will be China's reaction...?
If China does nothing meaningful to stop the invasion then America will continue further its progressive 'democratisation' of the world.
But the United States would rather make money in the process, and that means letting rich American corporations getting richer by having the people of China working for them and so, polluting
the planet even more on their behalf. The Global Community has developed and implemented the 'New Way of Doing Business'.
Over its long past history trade has never evolved to require from the trading partners to become legally and morally responsible and
accountable for their products from beginning to end. At the end the product becomes a waste and it needs to be properly dispose of. Now
trade must be given a new impetus to be in line with the global concepts of the Global Community. You manufacture, produce, mine, farm or
create a product, you become legally and morally responsible and accountable of your product from beginning to end (to the point where it
actually becomes a waste; you are also responsible for the proper disposable of the waste). This product may be anything and everything from oil and gas, weapons, war products, to genetically engineered food products. All consumer products. All medicinal products! All pharmaceutical products!
Som when America sells technology, or anything at all, to China, America becomes responsible and accountable of its trade from beginning to end. If the technology is a car, and car
manufacturing, then America is responsible and accountable of the pollution coming out of it. The pollution coming out of the car manufactured in China is to be added to the
USA pollution. A political border does not take away your responsibility and accountability. Selling something does not take away your responsibility and accountability.
Nuclear war heads and other WMDs given to Israel is the same idea. America is
responsible and accountable of its doing.
That is the idea!
First the economic and military invasion of the Middle East nations using Israel as a Trojan Horse, then China is next. The American Congress has already begun
this economic and military invasion by passing legislation allowing rich corporations doing 'business' in China.
Prosecuting criminals on the basis of universal jurisdiction regardless of a
territorial or nationality nexus required a solid commitment of political will from
national governments and the Global Community.
The Global Community has now implemented a total embargo on all U.S., France, United Kingdom, China and Russia consumer products, goods and services including mass destruction chemicals,
small arms, nuclear war heads, weapons of mass destruction, , war products and war equipment.
The war industry throughout the world must be put to a complete halt and shelved forever from humanity. The Global Community is asking
all Peoples never again to buy their products and services, and never supply them with the same.
The business of conflicts and war must be abolished for many important reasons.
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 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.
The Global Community claims that everyone on Earth should be able to live in Peace. This Peace Mouvement 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, "nonresistants". That word comes from Jesus, opposing the use of violence:
"Ye have heard that it hath been said, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth: but I say unto you, that ye resist not
evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."
The best way to win the war against terrorism is to live a life with principles and showing by example. We need to educate the coming generations with good principles,
being compassionate and global sustainability being some of them.
The evil is the war industry. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus develops the ethic of nonviolence and love of the enemies. Early Christians were probably the first individuals to renounce participation in war unconditionally.
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." And he told Peter, "All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
Christ has taught us to show mercy, to forgive enemies, to put up patiently
with oppression, to return only good for evil and love for hatred and, therefore, war is inconsistent with the Spirit of Jesus Christ. This shows that a Christian should take no part in war, never, in any way. This all means that violence
is futile in the long run. To respond to violence with violence is only perpetuating a vicious cycle of violence.
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 developing the Scale of Global Rights.
guarantees ecological rights in its Statute. The Court guarantees also the rights to a safe environment and an environment free
from environmental degradation.
Global rights are the rights to life on Earth.
The Global Community believes that
the introduction of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has
been a great step in humanity's evolution to better itself. But now is
time to leave it behind and reach to our next step, that is, the Scale of Global Rights.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
resides in the fact that it gives equal emphasis to cultural rights,
economic and social rights, and civil and political rights.
The Global Community asks how meaningful is the right
to life or to participation in political life if the ecological base
(the base of life) and the global life-support systems are seriously threatened:
* wilderness is vastly disappearing; species of the fauna and flora becoming extinct
* fisheries are out of control and will cease to be a part of our diet within a few decades
* the global Oxygen supply in the air we breathe is dangerously affected by both the burning
of petroleum products and deforestation; our ways of life affect the capacity for photosynthesis
* losses of forest cover and of biological diversity
* climate change affects everyone and everything
* the ozone layer is dangerously damaged
by man-made chemicals
* global warming causes major local
and global problems and forces the climate to change
* our drinking (fresh) water is becoming
more polluted and the increase in population requires much more fresh unpolluted
water;our ways of life affect dangerously the water cycle
* clean air no longer exists; air contains
chemicals affecting life all over the planet
* farmers do not generally engage on
their own in investment in soil conservation and despite all other efforts
the world is losing its best soils; global food production systems should be made to feed people as oppose to be competing for money
* everyone wants to consume more products, and thus use more of our resources, and no one seems to know what to do
with wastes; wastes of all kind including nuclear and release of radiation
* wars destroy not only human lives and community infrastructures
but also other lifeforms and the environment; wars feed the economies of war makers, weapons manufacturers, and predator nations in control of the
last 100 hundred years left of oil supplies in the world
* chemicals produced for human use and not found in nature and, eventually, reaching the environment with impacts on Earth's
waters, soils, air, and ecology
Following the development of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, nations throughout the world developed their own version in line with
the Universal Declaration.
To determine rights requires an understanding of needs and
reponsibilities and their importance. The Scale of Global Rights and
the Global Constitution are the best guidance for continuing this
process. The Scale shows social values in order of importance and so will
help us understand the rights of a community. What are the universal needs
of a person, family, and that of a global community?
Without these primordial human needs one cannot have and
enjoy the following non-primordial human needs:
For instance, the existing and future uses of water are constantly challenged;
balancing supply and demand is made even harder by the amounts of pollution
found in the air, land and waters. A large part of our body is made of
water, and we cannot live without water; therefore water is a primordial
human right by our very nature. In order to avoid conflicts and wars
over drinking (fresh)water, fresh water has been categorized as a primordial
human right. Industrial pollution plays a major role in the deterioration
of nature but this time the level of pollution is above the carrying capacity
of a healthy ecosystem. Pollution also affects significantly human health and
all lifeforms on Earth. Every person needs Oxygen to live so clean air
is certainly also a primordial human right by our very nature.
Morally right actions or policies are those actions that result
in the greatest number of people. The Global Community
asks how meaningful is the right of the greatest number of people if they agree
to the challenge or damage the ecological base of the Earth. The greatest
number of people cannot and will not be allowed to supersede the rights
of the ecological base of Earth.
* every person on Earth has a right to a secure
existence, and all states have an obligation to protect those rights
* prevention of conflicts and wars; identification, anticipation,
and resolving conflicts before they become armed confrontations. The Earth
Court of Justice will help here.
* military force is not a legitimate political instrument
* weapons of mass destruction are not legitimate instruments
of national defence
* eliminate all weapons of mass destruction from all
nations and have inspectors verifying progress to that effect
* all nations should sign and ratify the conventions
to eliminate nuclear, chemical and biological weapons
* the production and trade in arms should be listed as
a criminal act against humanity; this global ministry will introduce a
Convention on the curtailment of the arms trade, a provision for a mandatory
Arms Register and the prohibition of the financing or subsidy of arms exports
by governments
* the development of military capabilities is a potential
threat to the security of people and all life on Earth; the ministry will
make the demilitarization of global politics a high priority.
* anticipating and managing crises before they escalate
into armed conflicts and wars
* maintaining the integrity of the environment and global
life-support systems
* managing the environmental, economic, social, political
and military conditions that threatened the security of people and the
planet
* Community rights and the right that the greatest number of people has by virtue of its number
(50% plus one) and after voting representatives democratically (these rights can be and are usually a part of the constitution of a
country)
* and partly as economic rights (business and consumer rights, and their responsibilities and accountabilities) and
social rights (civil and political rights)
So the freedom of expression of a person is not as important
as the security of that person and the security of the state.
Consumers' rights impinge on the rights of other humans
living in the Global Community. The right to choice is the
consumer right that refers to the right to have a range and variety of
goods and services at competitive, fair prices and variable, satisfactory
quality. In order to assure choice in the developed country markets, governments
have implemented trade laws to facilitate cross border transactions and
transnational corporations (TNCs) have set up business off shore so they
can lessen the cost of the production process. The goods that are available
in the developed country markets are provided by slave labour, child labour,
sweatshops or in countries that allow the TNCs to forego adhering to pollution
or ecological concerns and human rights in pursuit of profit. Labour rights
are abused in efforts to earn more profits. This leads to abhorrent working
conditions, job insecurity and low living standards (all human rights).
Consumers in developed countries have been socialized to want more and
more things to consume but have not been socialized to appreciate the impact
of their consumption choices on the human rights of other people; that
is, they are not being responsible for their decisions.
The Global Community has now at hand
the method and framework to conduct societal checks and balances of a
global sustainable development. A more balance world economy will result
of annual checks and balances. Corporations will take their social responsibilities
and become involved in designing, monitoring, and implementing these checks
and balances. Several corporations have already done so. Results
will be taken into account in the evaluation of sustainable development.
Corporations are required to expand their responsibilities to include global
rights, the environment, community and family aspects, safe working conditions,
fair wages and sustainable consumption aspects.
Over the past several decades humanity has better itself through the acceptance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by most nations.
But now is time
to leave it behind and reach to our next step, that is a scale of social
values, the Scale of Global Rights and the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.
As a first step the Global Community researched and developed the Universal Declaration of Human and Earth Rights to complement for the deficiencies of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. But it was found to be a useless exercise of adding new statements to the Declaration.
Instead, and truly this is the new way of the future, the Global Community researched and developed the statement of rights and responsibilities of a person and of belonging to 'a global community' and to 'the Global Community', the Earth Community, the human family. This
was not, at first, meant to replace the Universal Declaration of Human and Earth Rights developed by the Global Community. But the Declaration becomes redundant. Only the statement was necessary. Even the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights becomes redundant as it is implicitly included in the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities of a person and of belonging to 'a global community' and to 'The Global Community'. There are a lot more
rights and responsibilites found in the Statement than in the Declaration.
The Global Community wants to help businesses to be active corporate members of the Global Community, the human family, the Earth Community.
You may be eligible to become a citizen of The Global Community.
A typical global community may be what a group of people, together, wants it to be. It can be a group of people with the same values. It can be a group
of people with the same cultural background, or the same religious background. The people making a global community may be living in
many different locations on the planet. With today's communications it is easy to group people in this fashion.
It can be a village, or two villages together where people have decided to unite
as one global community. The two villages may be found in different parts of the world. It can be a town, a city, or a nation. It can be two or more nations together.
A global community could be a group of Africans, maybe NGOs, or maybe businesses, in one(or several) of the nations of Africa, who decided to unite with another group(s), or businesses, situated in Canada, or elsewhere in the world. Together they can grow as a global community and
be strong and healthy.
Global warming is the highest threat to Earth security and is everyone's business. Terrorism was, and still is, a problem humanity needed to
tackle head-on and resolve the best we could, but global warming is by far the greatest threat to security of all people on Earth and to life itself.
We have never tackle the problem head-on. We played around the problem and its solution. We know the solution to the problem of global warming, we know what we
need to do to make this generation and future generations safe and secure, but we just never do what we really have to do to resolve
the problem. The biggest problem is that Canadians and Americans are getting too proud about things that are completely unimportant and missing out on the things that
are truly important, and we have been left behind by most other nations on those things that are truly important for the generations
to come and to life itself. I advise you to get acquainted with the Scale of Global Rights and with the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities in this Newsletter.
The Global Community is asking North Americans and everyone else on Earth to tackle the problem head-on. We must solve the problem we have with global warming.
Oil companies are responsible and accountable of their products from beginning to end. The 'end' for an oil company does not
end at the gas pump where a consumer buy your refine products. No! The end for you goes all the way to global warming, to pollution
of the environment, to the destruction of the global life-support systems, to taking away lives of future generations, to the destruction of life on Earth.
Very much so!
The Global Community proposes to ask you to pay a global tax on your products. The tax would be high enough to discourage consumers
from buying your products and force you to use viable alternatives. The Governments of the United States and Canada should put a high tax on all oil based products and their derivatives and certainly gasoline should have the highest tax possible.
The tax would be a carbon tax for the environment and the global life-support systems.
A workable type of Tobin tax should also be in place as it is a powerful instrument to promote sustainable development and force shareholders in moving away from
producing oil.
The Global Community also proposes to develope a method of raising global taxes, of redistributing incomes to the poorest communities, of providing debt-free technical assistance to non-industrial and
developing countries to help them out of poverty and to meet environmental and social standards.
The WTO, the World Bank, the IMF, the EU and the UN are worldwide organizations that can and should be used to raise global taxes to redistribute to the poorest and
developing nations.
Everyone ask how we could rid the world of weapons of mass destruction. Here is a new 'old' way to do it: trading permits. It can be done with
greenhouses gases to solve the problem with global warming. What about using a similar technique to get rid of all weapons of mass destruction: nuclear, biological and chemical, and others.
How many nations would be interested? The question to ask is would it work? First of all does it work for the greenhouse gases?
In connection between human well-being and a sound environment, Earth rights are ecological rights and the rights that human beings have in protecting their global life-support systems.
Earth rights are those rights that demonstrate the connection between human well-being and a sound environment. They include individuals and global
communities human rights and the rights to a clean environment, and participation in development decisions. We define ecological rights as those rights of the ecosystem of the Earth beyond human purpose. They are those rights that protect and
preserve the ecological heritage of the Earth for future generations. The Earth Court of Justice guarantees ecological rights in its Statute. The Court guarantees also the rights to a safe environment and an environment free
from environmental degradation.
Global rights represent
an ideal and a supreme goal which can give meaning to life in society.
Throughout the history of humanity, the rights of human beings have been
defined and enshrined with reference to the values of the dignity
of each individual and of freedom, equality and justice. Human dignity resides in each of us, and this dignity
must be recognized and respected by all. These values
are universal. The Global Community has accepted and enshrined them into its own ways of behaving and dealing with all peoples.
Cultures and societies differ so much that their expression takes varying
forms, but diversity does not affect the foundation of inalienable values
constituted by Global Rights. Each individual is recognized as a representative
of humankind.
The Global Community recognizes
that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Freedom
is both a principle and a value. Individuals have the freedom of decision
and action to the extent that their actions do not interfere with the rights
of others. It is because human beings are free that they are subject of
law and are creators and holders of rights. Whay good would be freedom if Earth rights are out-of-control? Freedom and Global Rights are
therefore basic to each other.
Fundamental freedoms are far from
being enjoyed by all but it is our common future, it is part of our Vision
statement for year 2024. Human freedom is a value to be attained. Equality
is a value, an ideal for people who live a hard day-to-day life of economic
inequalities such as unemployment, and social inequalities caused by the
privileges enjoyed by some people and the exploitation of others, and inequality
of educational and health opportunities. Freedom and equality are both
indispensable. They are therefore accepted and enshrined
as universal values by which the Global Community governs its affairs. As universal values they are concerned with
our ability to decide, to choose values and to participate in the making
of laws, and they are dependent on the recognition of other people. These
values forbid any form of discrimination on the grounds of race, nationality,
sex, religion, age or mother tongue. By accepting both values of freedom
and equality we can achieve justice. One can be answerable for one's
actions in a 'just' way only if judgements are given in the framework of
democratically established laws and courts.
Social justice is another
universal value to which the Global Community aspires and accepts
as a universal value. Social justice consists in sharing wealth with a
view to greater equality and the equal recognition of each individual's
merits. All persons within a given society deserve equal access to goods
and services that fulfill basic human needs.
We also accept global rights as part of our universal values
from which we base our decisions. Global Rights are closely
intertwined with democracy. Respect for Global Rights and fundamental freedoms is one of
the characteristics of a democracy. The typical fundamental freedoms of
a democracy (freedom of expression, thought, assembly, and association)
are themselves part of human rights. These freedoms can exist everywhere. Democracy
is a political system based on the participation of the people. It foresees
the separation of powers among the judiciary, the legislative and the executive
authorities, as well as free and regular elections.
The Global Community, has given back responsibility to every citizen on Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the
present and future well-being of life within the Global Community. We will work together in working out sound solutions to local and global problems.
It would be wrong and dishonest to blame it all on the leader of a country. Most problems in the world must find solutions at the local and global
community levels (and not assume that the leader alone is responsible and will handle it). There is a wisdom in the ways of very humble people
that needs to be utilized. Every humble person deserves to have ideas respected, and encouraged to develop his or her own life for the better.
Sound solutions to help manage and sustain Earth will very likely be found this way. Everyone can help assess the needs of the planet and
propose sound solutions for its proper management, present and future. Everyone can think of better ideas to sustain all life on Earth and
realize these ideas by conducting positive and constructive actions. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a
sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to
a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss; that is the grassroots process. The Global Community can help
people realized their actions by coordinating efforts efficiently together.
Policies for securing global rights are:
1. It is better to tax "bads" rather than "goods". Governments have long used selective taxation to discourage use of alcohol and cigarettes,
while unprocessed food and children¹s clothing remain tax-free. It is best to continue this tradition with selective "eco-sin taxes" to
discourage a wide range of grey products and lifestyles. At the same time, taxes would be eliminated on green products and lifestyles. People
should be able to avoid taxation by choosing green products and lifestyles.
2. Taxes should be designed to conserve resources and energy. Rather than taxing jobs and profits,
taxes should be moved to resource use and energy consumption to reward conservation. The community should benefit from the use of commonly
held resources. Using resources is a privilege, not a right, and the user should pay for the privilege. Resources must also be shared with future generations and other species.
3. Taxes should be designed to increase employment. Moving taxes onto resources and land use and off of incomes will make people less
expensive to employ. Products produced by green production methods, which tends to use fewer resources and less energy will avoid
taxation. As energy costs rise, the price of labour becomes more economical, and green products which tend to encourage value-added
processes, will provide more high quality, skilled jobs than resource intensive products.
4. Distributive taxes are preferable to re-distributive taxes. If wealth is distributed more fairly
in the first place less re-distribution will be necessary. Eliminating consumption taxes will eliminate the only tax the poor must pay. By moving
taxes on to resource use and land, the poor, who generally own less land and use fewer resources, will avoid taxation, thus requiring
less redistribution. Taxing land but not the use of land, will reduce taxation on higher density housing, lowering housing costs for low-income
citizens, thus reducing another need for re-distribution.
5. Resource taxes should be assessed as early as possible. Resources should be taxed before entering
the manufacturing process in order to green all aspects of the manufacturing process from extraction to the finished product.
Increasing taxes on resource and energy use will encourage resource and energy efficiency, innovation, reuse, repair, recycling, and used material recovery.
6. Taxing unearned income is preferable to taxing earned income. The tax shift to resource use and
community-generated land values will distribute income more fairly without dependence on income and business taxation to redistribute
income. Taxing unearned income (resources, land) and not earned income (jobs, profits) will reduce the rich-poor gap since the rich
are always in a better position to capture unearned or windfall income by their ability to hold assets that they do not have to consume.
7. Green tax shifting is revenue-neutral, not a tax break or tax grab. The taxes paid by businesses and individuals
collectively will not change, but greener businesses and consumers will reduce their taxes. Grey businesses and consumers will pay higher taxes. Studies have
shown that 50% of businesses and consumers will be unaffected or only slightly affected by tax shifting, roughly one quarter will realize tax reductions one quarter will be taxed more.
8. Resource use and community-generated land value taxation are fairer. Resource use and land taxes are much simpler
to collect and harder to evade than taxes on income and business profits. Since there are far fewer points of taxation than with traditional tax sources, a move
to resource use and land taxation will reduce the size of the underground economy. The difficulty of evading these taxes will reduce the problem of overseas tax havens.
9. Green taxation increases international competitiveness. Eliminating taxes on domestic labour will reduce labour costs in Ontario and
therefore reduce out-sourcing by businesses seeking cheap labour in other countries or provinces.
10. Pay for what you take, not for what you make. Businesses should not be taxed for hiring people or for
earning a profit, but should be charged for using resources and polluting the planet. People should not be taxed for
earning an income or purchasing products but should be charged for the value of land they own and the resources used in the products they
buy. Resource use and polluting are privileges not rights, and businesses and consumers should pay for these privileges.
11. Taxing community-generated land values is beneficial. Since the community around it, not its owner, creates
the value of land, the community should receive the benefits it has created. The owner is entitled to a fair profit
but not to a windfall profit that rightfully belongs to the community that generated the wealth in the first place. Under LVT the specific use
of the land will not be taxed, only the land itself, within the existing zoning. Community-generated land value taxation encourages the efficient
use of land, reduces sprawl, reduces speculation, tends to reduce land prices and improves land use patterns.
12. Taxes should encourage local, sustainable, value-added production over imports. Culturally unique products
and services will be valued by green tax reform over mass production. The sale price should include the true costs of products, services and distances
traveled, and should be designed to encourage local, sustainable production.
13. Taxes should break up monopolies. The most important monopolies are resource monopolies and land monopolies.
When a person or a business has control or exclusive rights over large amounts of a resource or large amounts of land, this person or business reaps windfall
profits, which is unjust. These resources and this land belong to the community and if individuals are granted access to it they should pay a fair
price for this privilege or right. Land Value Taxation aims to ensure that the wealth created by usage of land and resources that rightfully belong
to the community accrue back to that community.
14. Taxes should be applied only once. Rather than taxing the same wealth repeatedly through personal income,
business income, sales, re-sale, interest, capital gains, property transfer, inheritance, taxation should only impact the
use of a resource and the ownership of land on a sustained basis (ie property tax on site value).
15. MINIMIZING INCOME TAXES
a) Moving taxes off of incomes and onto resource
use and community-generated land value is critical in order to achieve
and maintain a green economy
and society.
b) Traditionally governments tax the component
of production in least supply. In the first half of the 20th century labour
was scarce and resources and
land were plentiful and indeed considered
infinite, so it made sense for government to tax incomes and not resource
use or land. Now, however,
resources and land are scarce and labour is
plentiful, so governments should modernize the tax structure by switching
the source of taxation away
from incomes and onto resources use and land.
c) Income taxes are a regressive tax since they
tax a "good" not a "bad". Since jobs are desirable we should not tax employment.
Income taxes are a
disincentive to employment since they make
people expensive to employ. Employers often avoid taxation by employing
fewer people and opting
instead for energy-intensive, chemical-intensive
and resource-intensive production. Conversely, taxing resource and land
lightly sends the message
that these community-held resources are unimportant
and may be squandered by anyone without consequences.
d) It is claimed that income taxes help reduce
economic inequity among people. This is untrue since employers simply pass
on the extra payroll
deduction to consumers. The amount of income
tax paid is irrelevant to labour negotiations, since bargaining is based
on net pay, not gross pay. In
determining an employee's worth, the employer
simply calculates the gross amount based on take-home pay. Salaries of
high worth employees and
CEOs are simply raised to the level necessary
to ensure net pay reaches the desired level.
e) In contrast the rich-poor gap will be narrowed
more effectively by moving taxes off of incomes and onto resource and land
use, since wealthier
people who choose to spend their money on
grey products and lifestyles will be taxed more while people with lower
incomes will be able to avoid
taxation by living green. In addition, replacing
income taxes with green taxes would help conserve resources, save energy,
foster value-added and
labour intensive production (ie. more jobs),
and reduce pollution.
16. MINIMIZING BUSINESS TAXES
a) Neither the right wing call for corporate tax
cuts nor the left-wing mantra of increased corporate taxes will engender
a transition to a just or green
society. Reducing or increasing taxes on corporate
profits is green-neutral (taxes which neither encourage nor discourage
greening the planet). If the
goal is for businesses to succeed and employ
people, it makes no sense to apply business taxes or payroll deductions.
b) Moving taxes off of profits and employment
and onto the resources, land and pollution will speed progress toward a
green industrial economy.
Recourse use and pollution are privileges
not rights, and businesses should pay for these privileges. While business
people would prefer not to pollute
the planet or squander resources, the present
tax structure gives them little choice. Businesses usually follow the path
of least tax resistance and will
readily go green if tax incentives pointed
the way.
c) Green production means more jobs, resource
conservation, and less pollution. Ecological fiscal reform and green tax
shifting are revenue neutral; the
collective tax burden paid by business is
unchanged, but it will reward businesses that go green and discourage businesses
that remain grey.
17. PHASE OUT CONSUMPTION TAXES
a) Sales taxes are unhelpful in moving to a green
society since socially useful and ecologically sound products are taxed
equally to socially or ecologically
detrimental products. To reduce consumption
of resources, taxes should be applied early in the manufacturing process
in order to green all aspects of
the manufacturing process. Taxing early will
dramatically reduce the ticket price of green products and raise the price
of grey products, positively
influencing consumer behaviour. Taxing early
will encourage resource and energy efficiency, innovation, reuse, repair,
recycling, and used material
recovery.
b) Sales taxes are regressive since they discourage
people from making both green and grey purchases, thus damaging the economy
and killing jobs. As
well sales taxes are often unfairly evaded
by the underground economy, while resource use, pollution and land rent
levies, by contrast, are simpler to
apply and more difficult to evade.
18. RESOURCE USE TAXATION
a) Income taxes, consumptions taxes, and taxes
on profits are all green-neutral, ie. green jobs, green purchases and green
profits are taxed at the same
rate as grey jobs, grey purchases and grey
profits. By contrast, resources taxes levied early in the production process
foster conservation,
efficiencies, innovation, value-added production,
and labour-intensive production. Local sustainable production, short run
niche production, and
skilled trades and crafts receive a bias since
the full costs of transportation and mass production are internalized.
b) Taxing resources minimizes waste and pollution
thus reducing the load on government for health care costs, waste disposal
costs, transportation
infrastructure, and pollution cleanup costs.
The market will drive resource and energy conservation without government
micro-management.
c) Resource taxation would focus on a small number
of key local resources and a small number of imported resources
However, sovereignty has also been increasingly defined in terms of state responsibility and Earth management. This includes a state’s exercise of control and authority over its territory, and
the perception of this control and authority by other states. Sovereignty is thus linked to the maintenance of international security and to the protection of the environment
and the global life-support systems.
Global Community criteria for sovereignty:
Without this criteria no one can claim ownership - sovereignty - of any geographical area on the planet.
Earth governance does not imply a lost of state sovereignty and territorial integrity. A nation government exists within the framework of an
effective Global Community protecting common global values and humanity heritage. Earth governance gives a new meaning to the notions
of territoriality, and non-intervention in a state way of life, and it is about protecting the cultural heritage of a state. Diversity of cultural and
ethnic groups is an important aspect of Earth governance.
Earth governance is a balance between the rights of states with rights of people, and the interests of nations with the interests of the Global
Community, the human family, the global civil society.
Earth governance is about the rights of states to self-determination in the global context of the Global Community rather than the traditional
context of a world of separate states.
Multiculturalism brought forward a new model of citizen participation in the larger Canadian society that addressed the pluralism of ethnic groups that were part of the
Canadian family, a Canadian society based on public acceptance of difference and support of cultural pluralism. Unlike the melting pot model of the
United States, Canadians preferred the idea of a cultural mosaic - unique parts fitting together into a unified whole. Ethnicity was to become the new Canadian
identity.
Canadian multiculturalism is fundamental to our belief that all citizens are equal. Multiculturalism ensures that all citizens can keep their identities, can take pride
in their ancestry and have a sense of belonging. Acceptance gives Canadians a feeling of security and self-confidence, making them more open to, and accepting of,
diverse cultures. The Canadian experience has shown that multiculturalism encourages racial and ethnic harmony and cross-cultural understanding, and discourages
ghettoization, hatred, discrimination and violence.
Through multiculturalism, Canada recognizes the potential of all Canadians, encouraging them to integrate into their society and take an active part in its social,
cultural, economic and political affairs.
Canada was the first country in the world to adopt multiculturalism as an official policy. By so doing, Canada affirmed the value and dignity of all Canadian
citizens regardless of their racial or ethnic origins, their language, or their religious affiliation.
The Canadian experience has shown that multiculturalism encourages racial and ethnic harmony and cross-cultural understanding, and discourages ghettoization,
hatred, discrimination and violence.
Multiculturalism has led to higher rates of naturalization than ever before. With no pressure to assimilate and give up their culture, immigrants freely choose their new
citizenship because they want to be Canadians. As Canadians, they share the basic values of democracy with all other Canadians who came before them. At the same time,
Canadians are free to choose for themselves, without penalty, whether they want to identify with their specific group or not. Their individual rights are fully protected
and they need not fear group pressures.
Canadian multiculturalism is a symbiotical relationship between Canada, the Canadian people and the people of the world. Our citizenship gives us equal rights and equal responsibilities. By taking an active part in
our civic affairs, we affirm these rights and strengthen Canada's democracy, ensuring that a multicultural, integrated and inclusive citizenship will be every Canadian's
inheritance.
This does not mean that there are no tensions in Canada that are generated from the differences between people. But as these tensions are addressed, Canadians learn to adapt and
relate to one another despite their differences. Through practice, we have come to understand that the differences between us do not have to divide us. This encourages
citizens who face common challenges to step forward and claim their right to full participation in Canadian society. As a consequence, Canada's concept of what constitutes
diversity is expanding.
As with official languages and multiculturalism, Canada has learned that constitutional measures and legislation alone are not enough to assure equal opportunity in a
diverse society. To contribute fully and achieve their full potential, all peoples must have a voice in society and a chance to shape the future direction of the country
of which they are a part. This requires mechanisms to enable individuals and groups to speak out and be heard, and to participate in national debates. It also requires
programs that help equip individuals, communities and organizations with the skills and tools they need to advance their interests.
Experience with diversity has taught Canadians to accept and respect diverse views. Canadians welcome debate and are willing to listen, discuss, negotiate and compromise
for the common good.
The Global Dialogue is an other example of the Canadian experience.
There is an ongoing daily Global Dialogue
between Canada and the people of the world.
There is always a need for helping humanity back onto the path of survival this millennium.
The Global Dialogue is the source of new ideas and finding new ways for our survival and taking along with us other lifeforms on the planet.
The people of the Global Community is using the Global Dialogue to resolve conflicts, 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 good 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.
A global symbiotical relationship between two or more nations, or between two or more global communities, can have trade as the major aspect of the relationship or it can have as many other aspects as
agreed by the people involved. The fundamental criteria is that a relationship is created for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The
relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development.
The Global Community allows people to take control of their own lives. The Global Community was built from a grassroots process with a
vision for humanity that is challenging every person on Earth as well as nation governments. The Global Community has a vision of the
people working together building a new civilization including a healthy and rewarding future for the next generations. Global cooperation
brings people together for a common future for the good of all.
We need to let go the archaic ways of seeing a community as
the street where we live and contained by a border. It is best for humanity and the increasing world population to see ourselves as people living together or
far apart but in constant communication with each other. A community has no boundaries except of those of the heart, mind and Soul. Many conflicts and
wars will be avoided by seeing ourselves as people with a heart, a mind and a Soul (a global community), and as part of a community with the same.
A global symbiotical relationship between two or more nations, or between two or more global communities, can have trade as the major aspect of the relationship or it
can have as many other aspects as agreed by the people involved.
The fundamental criteria is that a relationship is created for the good of all groups participating in the
relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global
economy.
The ethnocultural diversity of Canada's population is a also major advantage when access to global markets.
The Canadian experience can be related to many other types of symbiotical relationships.
Other symbiotical relationships may be based on common concerns and issues such as: the environment, peace, justice, women's rights,
human and Earth rights, and many more. There is a whole spectrum of possible symbiotical relationships.
A global symbiotical relationship between two or more nations, or between two or more global communities, can have trade as the major aspect of the relationship or it can have as many other aspects as agreed
by the people involved. The fundamental criteria is that a relationship is created for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on
Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy.
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. 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.
In the context of the global civilization of the 3rd Millennium, we have defined that
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 the fundamental criteria? The Global Community promotes the values
and principles to achieve the fundamental criteria and that requires 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.
Symbiotical relationships are needed today for the long term future of humanity and for the protection of life on Earth.
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 Global Community is inviting you to participate in the formation of global symbiotical relationships between people, institutions, cities, provinces,
communities, nations, and businesses. We are also
proposing the formation of a political symbiotical relationship between state and global civil society. A similar relationship already
exists between the people of the Global Community, 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 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). The importance difference between a global ministry and the WTO is that a global ministry follows the fundamental criteria.
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.
An other example is the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO is mostly lead by powerful lobbying groups subsidized by the pharmaceutical industry. The organization is
money-driven as opposed to be following the fundamental criteria.
A new symbiotical relationship between religion and the protection of the global life-support systems has begun to take place all over the world.
Religious rituals now support the conservation efforts and play a central role in governing sustainable use of the natural environment.
Major faiths are issuing declarations, advocating for new national policies, and creating educational activities in support of a sustainable global
community. The Global Community is establishing a symbiotical relationship between spirituality and science, between our heart and mind, and God, between religion and the environment.
The Canadian experience can be used as a model of the kind of symbiotical relationships other nations should relate to in order to create Peace in the world.
Wars truly make no sense! The world is too crowded and too
small nowadays! And weapons too lethal! So security cannot be achieved through the military. The only job the military should be asked to do today is to protect the global life-support systems. These systems have the highest
priority on the Scale of Global Rights
and are certainly more important than any of the other rights on the Scale including security. Simply because without life there is no other rights possible. Without Oxygen there is no
life! Without clean water there is no life! So protect life on Earth at all costs. Wars are the biggest threat to life and the ecosystem of the planet. Primordial human rights come next on the Scale of Global Rights. Without a
shelter life will still exist in some places but is hardly possible in cold place. There are many related aspects of the global life-support systems:
* global warming
* Ozone layer
* wastes of all kind including nuclear and release of radiation
* global pollution
* climate change
* species of the fauna and flora becoming extinct
* losses of forest cover and of biological diversity
* the capacity for photosynthesis
* the water cycle
* food production systems
* genetic resources
* chemicals produced for human use and not found in nature and, eventually, reaching the environment with impacts on Earth's waters, soils, air, and ecology
* ship Captains and owners dumping waste oils in oceans
* human activities of all kinds have disastrous impacts on the life-support systems: overfishing and bottom trawling, car and truck manufacturers using fossil fuels, etc.
So 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.
Governments that have weapons of masss destruction (WMDs) are all terrorist governments. I am asking them to disarm.
No waiting! That also
means having inspectors verifying the phasing out in all nations of the world, and not just in some Middle East country. The nature of global security has changed since the
rise of the Global Community organization. Security used to be about the protection of
the state and its boundaries, people, institutions and values from an outside threat. The Global Community will emphasize 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.
Hatred and conflict are often rooted in differences between people of different races and religions. We all need to respect people of different races as well as
people of different faiths and religions. We need to unite by recognizing our common desire and need for a harmonious society— a society in which we and our children
and families and friends and communities can all live our lives in peace and harmony. Regardless of our race or religion, we all want and need such social harmony.
Without respect for people of different races or ethnicities or religions, how can we have a peaceful and harmonious society or world? And without a harmonious society,
how can there be the necessary economic development and atmosphere conducive to spiritual happiness and self-realization?
The Global Community promotes social harmony by:
Learning to live in harmony with our environment is also a challenge that we all face today. The Global Community has risen to this challenge
and proposed sound solutions. The stewardship of our natural resources is a responsibility we all have.
Sovereignty implies control, authority within a territory, and also implies responsibility, environmental protection, and maintenance of international security over
that territory.
Earth management is certainly an important part of sovereignty. The focus should be on the Earth management of the territory.
There are many aspects of Earth management:
Certified Corporate Global Community Citizenship(CCGCC)
You may be eligible to become a citizen of the Global Community.
To become a citizen of the Global Community you may be:
* a person
* a global community
* an institution
* a town, city or province
* a state or a nation
* a business
* an NGO
* a group of people who decided to unite for the better of everyone participating in the relationship, or you may be
* an international organization
The Global Community Citizenship is given to anyone who accepts
the Criteria of the Global Community Citizenship as a way of life . It
is time now to take the oath of global community citizenship. We all belong
to this greater whole, the Earth, the only known place in the universe
we can call our home.
Negotiations with the United Nations are under way concerning worldwide acceptance of the Criteria of the Global Community Citizenship.
It is expected that the U.N. accept worldwide the Global Community Citizenship and the Certified Corporate Global Community Citizenship (CCGCC).
A global community citizen could travel the world with the global community VISA and work in nations where the VISA is obtained.
The Global Community citizenship gives citizens the right of free movement and residence in the territory of the Member States,
the right to vote and stand for election in the Global Community and local elections, the right to diplomatic protection in third countries,
as well as:
- the right to petition the Global Community Parliament;
- the right to bring complaints before the Global Community Ombudsman;
- the right to address any of the Global Community institutions or bodies in one of the official languages and to receive an answer in
the same language.
Members of the Global Community Parliament (GCP) will be elected by direct universal suffrage at five-year intervals.
They will be elected under a system of proportional representation. Elections are held either on a regional basis,
or under a mixed system.
A common core of democratic rules applies everywhere:
1. the right to vote at 18,
2. equality of men and women, and
3. the principle of the secret ballot.
Transparency
Members of the GCP must declare in a public register their professional activities and any other paid work or office held.
They must also declare their financial interests and other sources of income.
The Global Community would conduct the proper investigation concerning the security aspects of the global community citizen requesting the VISA and also be responsible for the legitimacy of the application for the VISA.
A VISA could have several different applications depending of the request:
a) work permit
b) short visit
c) volunteer work
1. Acceptance of the Statement of rights and responsibilities of a person, 'a global community' and 'the Global Community'. 
of a global community. The concept was
first researched and developed by the Global
Community.
.
and the Global
Constitution were researched and developed by
the Global Community
to guide us in continuing this process. The Scale shows social
values in order of importance and so will help us understand the rights
and responsibilities of global communities.
6. Acceptance of the Earth Court of Justice as the highest Court on Earth.
The Global Community is promoting the settling of disputes between nations through the process of the Earth Court of Justice. Justice for all is what we want.
Justice withour borders! The Earth Court of Justice will hear cases involving crimes related to the global ministries.
It will have the power to rule on cases involving crimes related to each one of the ministries.
Prosecuting criminals on the basis of universal jurisdiction regardless of a territorial or nationality nexus required a solid
commitment of political will from national governments and the Global Community. Once in effect, the Earth Court of Justice will become the principal judicial organ of the Global Community.
The Court will have a dual role: to settle in accordance with international law the legal disputes submitted to it by national
governments, local communities, and in some special cases by corporations, non-government-organizations and citizens, and to give
advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by duly authorized organs and agencies.
The Court will be composed of judges elected by the Elected Representatives Council and
Earth Security Council. It may not include more than one judge of any nationality. The Members of the Court do not represent
their governments but are independent magistrates. The judges must possess the qualifications required in their respective countries
for appointment to the highest judicial offices, or by jurists of recognized competence in international law. The composition of the
Court has also to reflect the main forms of civilization and the principal legal systems of the world.
The Earth Court of Justice will hear cases involving:
* nation states
* national political and military leaders accountable for violations of international humanitarian law
* 'core' crimes of genocide
* crimes against humanity and human rights
* war crimes
* crimes with significant impacts perpetuated against the life-support system of the planet (for instance wars and use of weapons of widespread destruction are listed under this category)
* crimes related to the relentless misuse of the Earth Resources
* environmental crimes
* social crimes as the Court may see apply
* crimes stemming from the global ministries
The Earth Court of Justice will also rule on global problems and concerns such as the creation of a new nation in the
world, and disputing territories or land between nations.
The procedure followed by the Court is defined in its Statute. The Court decides in accordance with:
* the Scale of Global Rights,
* belief, values, principles and aspirations of the Global Community,
* international treaties and conventions in force,
* international custom,
* the general principles of law,
* as subsidiary means, judicial decisions and the teachings of the most highly qualified publicists,
* the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities of Global Community citizens, and
* the criteria of a Global Community citizen.
The Statute of the Earth Court of Justice will be established later.
The Earth Court of Justice established by the Global Constitution as the principal organ of the Global Community
shall be constituted and shall function in accordance with the provisions of the Statute.
The Global Community welcomes you!
The Global Community proposes to corporations that they take responsibility on behalf of society and people, and that they should pay
more attention to human and Earth rights, working conditions and getting ride of corruption in the world of business and trade. We have developed
a criteria, and we ask you to turn it into practice. Governments should encourage enterprises to use the criteria both by legal and moral means.
At first, the criteria should be adopted in key areas such as procurement, facilities management, investment management, and human resources.
Corporations want to be seen as good corporate leaders and have a stronger form of accountability.
Business and trade will prosper after stronger common bonds and values have been established. Adopting the criteria will have a beneficial
impact on future returns, and share price performance.
Obtaining one ECO will help businesses to be part of the solution to the challenges of globalisation.
In this way, the private sector in partnership with the civil society can help realize a
vision: allowing a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy.
will guide you on how to better integrate criteria issues
in your business. In the context of a healthy world sustainable development, companies will perform better and increase shareholder value by
properly managing risks, anticipating regulatory action or accessing new markets.
Tangible results of adopting the criteria include a better company reflected in its reputation and quality of
brands.
Obtaining one ECO is a tremendous asset to business owners, self-regulatory organizations, investors, brokers, regulators, stock exchanges, accountants,
analysts, financial advisers, asset managers, and consultants. It will contribute to strengthen investment markets.
The quality of Earth governance is reflected in each local community worldwide. The Global Community will show leadership by creating
a global civil ethic within our ways of life. The Global Constitution describes all values needed for good global governance:
mutual respect, tolerance, respect for life, justice for all everywhere, integrity, and caring. The Scale of Global Rights
has become an inner truth and the benchmark of the millennium in how everyone sees all values. The Scale encompasses the right of all people to:
* the preservation of ethnicity
* equitable treatment, including gender equity
* security
* protection against corruption and the military
* earn a fair living, have shelter and provide for their own welfare and that of their family
* peace and stability
* universal value systems
* participation in governance at all levels
* access the Earth Court of Justice for redress of gross injustices
* equal access to information
Governance of the Earth will make the rule of arbitrary power--economic (WTO, FTAA, EU), political, or military (NATO)-- subjected to the rule
of law within the global civil society, the human family. Justice is for everyone and is everywhere, a universal constant. Justice is without borders.
The Global Community has no intention of changing the status and privileges of state governments. In fact, state governments become primary members of the
Global Community. Global governance can only be effective within the framework of the criteria of the Global Community citizenship.
The Global Community was built from a grassroots process with a vision for
humanity that is challenging every person on Earth as well as nation governments, and has a vision of the people working together
building a new civilization including a healthy and rewarding future for the next generations. Global cooperation brings people together for a
common future for the good of all.
Earth governance does not imply a lost of state sovereignty and territorial integrity. A nation government exists within the framework of an
effective Global Community protecting common global values and humanity heritage. Earth governance gives a new meaning to the notions of
territoriality, and non-intervention in a state way of life, and it is about protecting the cultural heritage of a state. Diversity of cultural
and ethnic groups is an important aspect of Earth governance.
Earth governance is a balance between the rights of states with rights of people, and the interests of nations with the interests of the the Global Community, the human family, the global civil society.
Earth governance is about the rights of states to self-determination in the global context of the Global Community rather than the traditional
context of a world of separate states.
Although the Global Community ensures state governments that it will obey the principle of non-intervention in domestic affairs, it will also stand
for the rights and interests of the people within individual states in which the security of people is extensively endangered. A global consensus to
that effect will be agreed upon by all nation states.
Effective Earth governance requires a greater understanding of what it means to live in a more crowded, interdependent humanity with finite
resources and more pollution threatening the global life-support systems. The Global Community has no other choice but to work together at
all levels. The collective power is needed to create a better world .

We can help you integrate and balance global life-support systems protection, global community participation, and economic decisions into your operations and products.
We want to help you be an active corporate member of the Global Community, the human family, the Earth Community.
Apply to us to be a global corporate citizen of the Global Community.
A Certified Corporate Global Community Citizenship is a unique way to show the world that your ways of doing business are best for the Global Community.
You can obtain the citizenship after accepting the Criteria of the Global Community Citizenship and following an assessment of your business. The process shown here is
now standardized to all applicants. You are
then asked to operate your business as per the values of the citizenship.
GCAC will be conducting the assessment of your business.
GCAC is the assessment centre of the Global Community. It was created to give individuals, businesses or other organizations help
and advice about negative events happening in their communities which cause concern to people, resources, industry or the environment. GCAC is also the Centre of assessment of
local and global indicators about the four major quality systems: Environment, People, Economic Development and the Availability of Resources. The assessment of these indicators will
result in giving the Global Community a sense of direction as to ensure a sound future for Earth.
In order to do this GCAC will continue to amass a body of scientific information based on formal assessments such as those on Biodiversity, Climate Change, Human Development
Report, World Development Report, struggle for Global Rights, life species Conservation, Health, Economic Analyses, Commission on Sustainable Development, etc., which
have bridged the distance between incomplete science and contentious policy. Local and global indicators developed by the Global Community will also be used as basic scientific
information.
Furthermore, no one really understands what assessment processes have been most effective in the past, or why others have failed. GCAC’s goal is to explore how assessment of
local and global indicators can better link scientific understanding with the progressive implementation of effective policy solutions to global changes. Achieving this integration is
fundamental. The Global Community needs this annual assessment to effectively manage global changes.
GCAC conducts an annual assessment of the 'Global Community
Overall Picture' which describes the situation in all nations of
the world. The world was divided into five different regions: North
America, Latin America & the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and Asia &
Oceania. Each assessment has a description of what is happening in
the different regions. They are actual facts concerning issues we have
discussed during previous global dialogues in years 2000, 2002 and 2004. Issues between now and the coming
global dialogue in 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 not-so-distant-future'.
This project will help humanity understand itself better.
the Scale of Global Rights and the Global Constitution,
the Earth Court of Justice, global ministries, and we stood for the values
we promoted no matter how big was the opponent. Now is time to expand our
work for the good of all humanity.
For the first time in human history, and the first time this millennium,
humanity has proposed a benchmark:
* formation of global ministries in all important aspects of our lives
* the Scale of Global Rights as a replacement to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
* Statement of Rights and Responsibilities of a person belonging to 'a global community' and to 'the Global Community'
* an evolved Democracy based on the Scale of Global Rights and the Global Constitution
* a central organization for Earth management, the restoration of the planet and Earth governance: the Global Community Assessment Centre (GCAC)
* the Earth Court of Justice to deal with all aspects of governance and management of the Earth
* a new impetus given to the way of doing business and trade
* more new, diversified (geographical, economical, political, social, business, religious) symbiotical relationships between nations, communities, businesses, for the good and well-being of all
* proposal to reform the United Nations, World Trade Organization, World Bank, IMF, E.U., NAFTA, FTAA, and to centralize them under the Global Community, and these organizations will
be asked to pay a global tax to be administered by the Global Community
* the Peace Movement of the Global Community and shelving of the war industry from humanity
* a global regulatory framework for capitals and corporations that emphasizes global corporate ethics, corporate social responsibility,
protection of human and Earth rights, the environment, community and family aspects, safe working conditions, fair wages and sustainable
consumption aspects
* the ruling by the Earth Court of Justice of the abolishment of the debt of the poor or developing nations as it is really a form of global tax to be paid
annually by the rich or industrialized nations to the developing nations
* establishing freshwater and clean air as primordial human rights
The Global Community promotes the adoption of world sustainable
development and for strong international cooperation to achieve world sustainable
development. Global cooperation can
facilitate native people's acceptance of rational policies, financial assistances
and advanced technologies provided by the international community and that
international cooperation also can contribute to regulating world population
distribution, improving low population quality of backward countries,
protecting and exploiting natural resources, developing those products and
industries which can cause lower consumption of natural resources and energy
sources with light pollution of environment, and keeping environmental stability
and ecological balance. In a word, international cooperation greatly
contributes to world sustainable development.
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, and citizens in the Global Community demand a high level of
ecological protection. This is the 'raison d'etre' of the Scale of Global Rights. On the Scale,
primordial human rights and the protection of the global life-support systems (ecological rights) are on top of the Scale. They are the
most important aspects.
Primordial
human rights are those human rights that individuals have by virtue of their very existence as
human beings: to live, have security, 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.
Ever since the early 1990s, the Global Community has developed and defined sustainable development and a mean of measuring it. Now we want the corporate world as well as everyone else, all consumers,
to integrate and balance global life-support systems protection, global community participation, and economic decisions into your operations and products, and into your way of life and of doing things.
These global dialogues have resulted in the establishment of the criteria of the Global Community Citizenship
and of the Certified Corporate Global Community Citizenship.
Global Community WebNet Ltd. was the first corporation on Earth to qualify and obtain one ECO, the Certified Corporate Global Community Citizenship.
Criteria of the Global Community Citizenship
a) I am not just a woman, I am a person, I am citizen of a global community,
b) I am not just a man, I am a person, I am citizen of a global community,
c) We are responsible, accountable and equal persons in every way, and we will manage wisely our population and Earth, and
d) We are citizens of the Global Community, the Earth Community, the human family.
2. Acceptance of the concept of 'a global community'. The concept of 'a global community' is part of the Glass Bubble concept of a global community.
The concept was first researched and developed by the Earth Community Organization (ECO).
We have already said that 'a global community' is not about a piece of land you acquired by force or otherwise. A typical global
community may be what a group of people, together, wants it to be. It can be a group of people with the same values. It can be a
group of people with the same cultural background, or the same religious background. Or it can be a group of people with different values and beliefs, and with totally different backgrounds and origins.
One could think of a typical global community of a million people that does not have to be bounded by a geographical or political border. It can be a million people living in many
different locations all over the world. The Global Community is thus more fluid and dynamic. The Global Community is this great, wide,
wonderful world made of all these diverse global communities. We need to let go the archaic ways of seeing a community as the street
where we live and contained by a border.
The people making a global community may be living in
many different locations on the planet.
It can be a village, or two villages together where people have decided to unite
as one global community. The two villages may be found in different parts of the world. It can be a town, a city, or a nation. It can be two or more nations together.
We can no longer perceive ourselves as a People who could survive alone and a People who does not need anyone else. We belong and depend to this much larger
group, that of the Global Community. The 21st Century will see limitless links and symbiotical relationships with and within the
Global Community. A global symbiotical relationship between two or more nations, or between two or more global communities,
can have trade as the major aspect of the relationship or it can have as many other aspects as agreed
by the people involved. The fundamental criteria is that a relationship is created for the good of all groups 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 other aspects such as quality of life, protection of the environment and of the global life-support systems, the entrenchment of
the Scale of Global Rights and the Global Constitution into our ways of life, justice, peace, cultural and spiritual freedom, security, and many other important aspects as
described in the global ministries (health, agriculture, energy, trade, resources, etc.).
3. Acceptance of the Scale of Global Rights. To determine rights requires an understanding of needs and reponsibilities and their importance. The Scale of Global Rights and the Global Constitution
were researched and developed by the Global Community to guide us in continuing this process. The Scale shows social values in order of importance and so will help us understand the rights and responsibilities of global communities.
4. Acceptance of the Global Constitution. The Global Constitution is a declaration of interdependence and responsibility and an urgent call to build a global symbiotical relationship between nations for sustainable development.
It is a commitment to Life and its evolution to bring humanity to God. The Global Community has focused people aspirations toward a unique goal: humanity survival now and
in the future along with all Life on Earth. The Belief, Values, Principles and Aspirations of the Global Community of the Global Constitution are closely interrelated. Together they provide a conception of sustainable development and
set forth fundamental guidelines for achieving it; they were drawn from international law, science, philosophy, religion, and they were discussed as research papers during
the global dialogues.
5. Acceptance of your birth right of electing a democratic government to manage Earth. 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 global 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.
6. Acceptance of the Earth Court of Justice as the highest Court on Earth.
The Global Community is promoting the settling of disputes between nations through the process of the Earth Court of Justice. Justice for all is what we want.
Justice withour borders! The Earth Court of Justice will hear cases involving crimes related to the global ministries.
It will have the power to rule on cases involving crimes related to each one of the ministries.
Prosecuting criminals on the basis of universal jurisdiction regardless of a territorial or nationality nexus required a solid
commitment of political will from national governments and the Global Community. Once in effect, the Earth Court of Justice will become the principal judicial organ of the Global Community.
The Court will have a dual role: to settle in accordance with international law the legal disputes submitted to it by national
governments, local communities, and in some special cases by corporations, non-government-organizations and citizens, and to give
advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by duly authorized organs and agencies.
The Court will be composed of judges elected by the Elected Representatives Council and
Earth Security Council. It may not include more than one judge of any nationality. The Members of the Court do not represent
their governments but are independent magistrates. The judges must possess the qualifications required in their respective countries
for appointment to the highest judicial offices, or by jurists of recognized competence in international law. The composition of the
Court has also to reflect the main forms of civilization and the principal legal systems of the world.
The Earth Court of Justice will hear cases involving:
* nation states
* national political and military leaders accountable for violations of international humanitarian law
* 'core' crimes of genocide
* crimes against humanity and human rights
* war crimes
* crimes with significant impacts perpetuated against the life-support system of the planet (for instance wars and use of weapons of widespread destruction are listed under this category)
* crimes related to the relentless misuse of the Earth Resources
* environmental crimes
* social crimes as the Court may see apply
* crimes stemming from the global ministries
The Earth Court of Justice will also rule on global problems and concerns such as the creation of a new nation in the
world, and disputing territories or land between nations.
The procedure followed by the Court is defined in its Statute. The Court decides in accordance with:
* the Scale of Global Rights,
* belief, values, principles and aspirations of the Global Community,
* international treaties and conventions in force,
* international custom,
* the general principles of law,
* as subsidiary means, judicial decisions and the teachings of the most highly qualified publicists,
* the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities of Global Community citizens, and
* the criteria of a Global Community citizen.
The Statute of the Earth Court of Justice will be established later.
The Earth Court of Justice established by the Global Constitution as the principal organ of the Global Community
shall be constituted and shall function in accordance with the provisions of the Statute.
Global Community Earth Government (GCEG) contributes
to the preservation and to the development of these common values while
respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of
all Nations as well as the national identities of Member Nations and the
organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local
levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures
free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, and the freedom of
establishment. To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection
of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress
and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more
visible in this Constitution.
The Global Constitution reaffirms, with due regard for the powers
and tasks of Earth Government and the principle of subsidiarity, the
rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions
and international obligations common to Member Nations, the Scale of Social Values, or Scale of Human and Earth Rights,
adopted by Earth Government and by the Global Council of all Nations
and the case law of the Earth Court of Justice of Earth Government and of the
Global Court of Human and Earth Rights. Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities
and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future
generations. Earth Government therefore recognises the rights, freedoms
and principles set out hereafter.
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 spiritual belief, universal values, principles and aspirations of the Global Community will be attained by:
* practicing tolerance and living together in peace and harmony with one another as neighbours,
* promoting the economic and social advancement of all peoples,
* maintaining peace and security in the world by using negotiations and peaceful means,
* finding unity in diversity with all Life,
* establishing the respect for the life-support system of the planet,
* keeping Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things, and
* applying the principle that when there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible,
which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.
Realizing that:
* the Global Community today has come to a turning point in history,
and that we are on the threshold of new global order leading to an era of peace, prosperity, justice and harmony;
* there is an interdependence of people, nations and all life;
* humanity's abuse of science and technology has brought the Global Community
to the brink of disaster through the production of weaponry of
mass destruction and to the brink of ecological and social catastrophe;
* the traditional concept of security through military
defense is a total illusion both for the present and for future generations;
* misery and conflicts has caused an ever increasing disparity
between rich and poor;
* we, as Peoples, are conscious of our obligation to posterity to save the Global Community from
imminent and total annihilation;
* the Global Community is One despite the existence of diverse nations, races, creeds, ideologies and cultures,
* the principle of unity in diversity is the basis for a new age when war shall be outlawed and peace prevail;
when the earth's total resources shall be equitably used for human welfare; and when basic human and Earth rights, responsibilities and accountabilities shall
be shared by all without discrimination; and
* the greatest hope for
the survival of life on Earth is the establishment of a democratic Earth
Government.
We, citizens of the Global Community, hereby resolve to establish
a federation of all nations, Earth Government, to govern in accordance with this Global Constitution.
The purposes of Earth Government for 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 Earth Government, which constitute the Preamble and Chapter 1 to Chapter 10 inclusive;
b) global symbiotical relationships amongst people, institutions,
cities, provinces and nations of the world, and between Earth Government and all nations, and in the business sector, which constitute Chapters 20.23 and 23.3.2;
c) global societal sustainability, which constitutes Chapter 4.4 of this Constitution;
d) good Earth governance and management, which constitute Chapter 6.3.2 of this Constitution;

f) the Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a Person and of the Global Community, which constitutes Chapter 6.3 of this Constitution;
g) the Criteria to obtain the Global Community Citizenship, which constitutes Chapters 6.1 and 6.2 of this Constitution;
h) consistency between the different policies and activities of Earth Government, which constitutes Chapter 15 of this Constitution; and
i) a global market without borders in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capitals is ensured in accordance with this Constitution, which constitutes Chapter 16 of this Constitution;
j) the new ways of doing business in the world, which constitute Article 17, Chapter 6, Article 94, and Chapters 16 and 17;
k) the Celebration of Life Day on May 26 of each year, which constitutes Chapter 20.7 of this Constitution;
l) the finding of an Earth flag, which constitutes Chapter 20.8 of this Constitution;
m) the ECO Award, which constitutes Chapter 20.9 of this Constitution;
n) the Portal of the Global Community, which constitutes Chapter 20.10 of this Constitution; and
o) the concept of a Global Dialogue, which constitutes Chapter 20.11 of this Constitution.
Earth Government shall reinforce humanity's new vision of the world throughout the millennium.
a) the Scale of Human and Earth Rights;
b) the Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a person and the Global Community; and
c) building global symbiotical relationships between people, institutions,
cities, provinces and nations of the world.
For the first time in human history, and the first time this millennium,
humanity has proposed a benchmark:
* formation of global ministries in all important aspects of our lives
* getting ride of corruption at all levels of government
* the establishment of Global Police to fight against the growing threat to the security of all Peoples, and to fight against global crimes
* the Scale of Human and Earth Rights as a replacement to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
* Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a person belonging to 'a global community' and to 'the Global Community'
* an evolved global democracy based on the Scale of Human and Earth Rights and the Global Constitution
* a central organization for Earth management, the restoration of the planet and Earth governance: the Global Community Assessment Centre (GCAC)
* the Earth Court of Justice to deal with all aspects of governance and management of the Earth
* a new impetus given to the way of doing business and trade
* more new, diversified (geographical, economical, political, social, business, religious) symbiotical relationships between nations, communities, businesses, for the good and well-being of all
* proposal to reform the United Nations, NATO, World Trade Organization, World Bank, IMF, E.U., NAFTA, FTAA, and to centralize them under Earth Government, and these organizations will
be asked to pay a global tax to be administered by Earth Government
* the Peace Movement of the Global Community and shelving of the war industry from humanity
* a global regulatory framework for capitals and corporations that emphasizes global corporate ethics, corporate social responsibility,
protection of human and Earth rights, the environment, community and family aspects, safe working conditions, fair wages and sustainable
consumption aspects
* the ruling by the Earth Court of Justice of the abolishment of the debt of the poor or developing nations as it is really a form of global tax to be paid
annually by the rich or industrialized nations to the developing nations
* establishing freshwater and clean air as primordial human rights

Climate change is a result of the rising global temperatures associated with global warming and human activities, the effects of which have a direct impact on all life on Earth.
Global warming is causing the melting of the polar ice caps.
The Polar Regions are very sensitive indicators of global warming. These regions are highly vulnerable to rising temperatures and may be virtually ice free by the
summer of 2030.
The Global Community also proposes that all nations of the world promote the Scale of Global Rights and the criteria to obtain the Global Community
Citizenship. Every global community citizen lives a life with the higher values described in the Scale and the criteria. Global community citizens are good members of
the human family. Most global problems, including global warming and world overpopulation, can be managed through acceptance of the Scale and the criteria.
The Global Community can contribute in evaluating options and strategies for adapting to climate change as it occurs, and in identifying human activities that are
even now maladapted to climate. There are two fundamental types of response to the risks of climate change:
1. reducing the rate and magnitudes of change through mitigating the causes, and
2. reducing the harmful consequences through anticipatory adaptation.
Mitigating the causes of global warming implies limiting the rates and magnitudes of increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, either by reducing
emissions or by increasing sinks for atmospheric CO2. Reducing the harmful consequences can be achieved by co-operating together with the global ministries on
climate change and emergencies. The Global Community has created the global ministries to help humanity be prepared to fight the harmful consequences of a
global warming through anticipatory adaptation. The global ministries on climate change and emergencies are now operating. The ministries have developed:
1. policy response to the consequences of the global warming, and
2. strategies to adapt to the consequences of the unavoidable climate change.
The Global Community has given back responsibility to every citizen on Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the
present and future well-being of life within the Global Community. We will work together in finding sound solutions to local and global problems.
It would be wrong and dishonest to blame it all on the leader of a country. Most problems in the world must find solutions at the local and global
community levels (and not assume that the leader alone is responsible and will handle it). There is a wisdom in the ways of very humble people
that needs to be utilized. Every humble person deserves to have ideas respected, and encouraged to develop his or her own life for the better.
Sound solutions to help manage and sustain Earth will very likely be found this way. Everyone can help assess the needs of the planet and
propose sound solutions for its proper management, present and future. Everyone can think of better ideas to sustain all life on Earth and
realize these ideas by conducting positive and constructive actions. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a
sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to
a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss; that is the grassroots process. The Global Community can help
people realized their actions by coordinating efforts efficiently together.
We will not explain here why we need to have a security and biodiversity zone over the entire planet because I believe most people know why it is necessary and must be done.
But we will show it can be done. The fundamental definition of the "Global Community" includes all people, all life on Earth.
The Global Community is this great, wide, wonderful world made of all these diverse global communities of all life-forms.
It also implicitly says that no-one in particular owns the Earth but we all own it together.
Not just us people, but all life on Earth owns it. The beginning of life
stretches as far back as 4 billion years, and so Life claims its birthright of ownership of Earth, and so does the Soul of all Life, the Soul of Humanity.
The land ownership of the Earth means ownership of the land and of all other Earth natural resources.
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.
The following backgroung information was taken from the Global Constitution. These passages give us the processes by which we can create a biodiversity zone in the North.
All over the world, there is also a vast array of different life-form communities that inhabit land, water and air.
Everyone of those global communities, human and otherwise, have an Earth right of ownership
of the planet and of all its natural resources. It is their birthright. They dont express themselves in English, but we understand them. Human beings have a moral
obligation to protect and conserve the biodiversity of life on Earth.
And the best way to do that is by creating a security and biodiversity zone all over the planet.
Truly, the world is on the threshold of a global revolution, and needs to
proceed with the non-violent approach. The Global Community needs to build an economic democracy
based firmly on the basic principle that the Earth belongs equally to
everyone as a birthright. The Earth is for all people to labor and live
on and should never be the possession of any individual, corporation,
or uncaring government, any more than the air or water, or any other
Earth natural resources. An individual, or a business should have
no more than is needed for a healthy living.
The impacts of our democracy are destroying the Earth global life-support systems.
A few people have control over so much of the Earth.
To live in a world at peace and have conditions of basic justice and fairness in human interactions,
our democratic values must be based on the principle of equal rights to the Earth.
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.
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.
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, oil, minerals, other natural resources
rightly belong to the Global Community. 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.
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 Global Community is promoting the settling of disputes between nations through the process of the Earth Court of Justice.
We are all members of the Global Community. We all have the duty to protect the rights and welfare of all species and all people. No humans have the right to encroach on the ecological space of other species and other people,
or treat them with cruelty and violence. All life species, humans and cultures, have intrinsic worth. They are subjects, not objects of manipulation or ownership. No humans have the right to own other species, other people or the knowledge of other cultures through
patents and other intellectual property rights. Defending biological and cultural diversity is a duty of all people. Diversity is an end in itself, a value, a source of richness both material and cultural.
All members of the Global Community including all humans have the right to food and water, to safe and clean habitat, to security of ecological space.
These rights are natural rights, they are birthrights given by
the fact of existence on Earth and are best protected through community rights and global commons. They are not given by states or corporations, nor can they be extinguished by state or corporate action. No state or corporation has the
right to erode or undermine these natural rights or enclose the commons that sustain all through privatisation or monopoly control.
Earth Government found evident that
the ecological base is the essential prerequisite for the effectiveness
and exercise of all rights recognized for human beings. The stewardship
of the ecological base has to be given priority before the fulfilment of
various economic and social wishes. Demands resulting from the socio-economic
system of a particular country have to find their limits in the protection
of the global ecosystem. Vital interests of future generations have to
be considered as having priority before less vital interests of the present
generation. Supply chains have to be designed in a way, that the goods
can enter after usage or consumption into natural or industrial recycling
processes. If serious damages to persons, animals, plants and the ecosystem
cannot be excluded, an action or pattern of behaviour should be refrained
from. A measure for supplying goods or services should choose a path which
entails the least possible impact on the ecological and social system concerned.
This way functioning proven systems will not be disturbed, and unnecessary
risks will not be taken. Supply strategies consuming less resources should
have preference before those enhancing more resource consumption. When there is a need to find a
solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to
choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible
damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.
Perhaps now is time to elaborate more on responsibility and accountability of a global community.
The Global Citizens Rights, Responsibility and Accountability Act is a good start.
This important legislation was approved by Global Parliament. The Act defines rights, responsibility and accountability
of all global citizens. Each and everyone of us must make decisions, deal
with one another, and basically conduct our actions as per the Act.
The spiritual belief, universal values, principles and aspirations of the Global Community will be attained by:
* practicing tolerance and living together in peace and harmony with one another as neighbours,
* promoting the economic and social advancement of all peoples,
* maintaining peace and security in the world by using negotiations and peaceful means,
* finding unity in diversity with all Life,
* establishing the respect for the life-support system of the planet,
* keeping Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things, and
* applying the principle that when there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible,
which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.
For the first time in human history, and the first time this millennium,
humanity has proposed a benchmark:
* formation of global ministries in all important aspects of our lives
* getting ride of corruption at all levels of government
* formation of the Global Protection Agency (GPA)
* the establishment of the Agency of Global Police (AGP) to fight against the growing threat to the security of all Peoples, and to fight against global crimes
* the Scale of Global Rights as a replacement to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
* Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a person belonging to 'a global community' and to 'the Global Community'
* an evolved global democracy based on the Scale of Global Rights and the Global Constitution
* a central organization for Earth management, the restoration of the planet and Earth governance: the Global Community Assessment Centre (GCAC)
* the Earth Court of Justice to deal with all aspects of governance and management of the Earth
* a new impetus given to the way of doing business and trade
* more new, diversified (geographical, economical, political, social, business, religious) symbiotical relationships between nations, communities, businesses, for the good and well-being of all
* proposal to reform the United Nations, NATO, World Trade Organization, World Bank, IMF, E.U., NAFTA, FTAA, and to centralize them under Earth Government, and these organizations will
be asked to pay a global tax to be administered by Earth Government
* the Peace Movement of the Global Community and shelving of the war industry from humanity
* a global regulatory framework for capitals and corporations that emphasizes global corporate ethics, corporate social responsibility,
protection of human and Earth rights, the environment, community and family aspects, safe working conditions, fair wages and sustainable
consumption aspects
* the ruling by the Earth Court of Justice of the abolishment of the debt of the poor or developing nations as it is really a form of global tax to be paid
annually by the rich or industrialized nations to the developing nations
* establishing freshwater and clean air as primordial human rights
* Global Justice Movement for all Life
* Movement for taxation on all Earth natural resources
Every single human being must deal responsibly with the affairs going on in his (her) own 'global community' ~ when a person takes personal responsibility for his own
affairs ~ he becomes empowered as a person. He can then reach beyond his own property and family, and help to work with others living in and around, even a part of the
local community he lives in ~ the villages, the town community, the surrounding territory, and so on.
The key is personal responsibility. Therefore the individual is the important element, one who takes responsibility for his community. This individual cares about jobs,
homes, streets, the welfare and success of his community.
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.
It also implicitly says that no-one in particular owns the Earth but we all own it together.
Not just us people, but all life on Earth owns it. The beginning of life
stretches as far back as 4 billion years, and so Life claims its birthright of ownership of Earth, and so does the Soul of all Life, the Soul of Humanity.
Following this thinking we see land ownership is no longer a problem. The Earth and all its natural resources belong to all the "global communities" contained therein.
A village, or a city is "a global community" and owns the land around its boundaries. Along with the Global Community, it has ownership of all natural resources within its boundaries.
As mentioned above, land here, by definition, covers all naturally occurring resources like surface land, the air, minerals deposits (gold, oil and gas etc), water, electromagnetic spectrum, the
trees, fish in the seas and rivers. It is unjust to treat land as private property or a commodity. Land is not a product of labor. Everyone should therefore be given equal
access to all natural resources.
On the global level the Law of the Seas Covenant is an example of a global community lease payment basis for public needs as it has affirmed that ocean resources are the
common heritage of all and a proper source of funding for global institutions. Water belongs to the Earth and all species and is sacred to life therefore, the world’s water must be conserved, reclaimed and protected for all future
generations and its natural patterns respected.
Water is a fundamental human right and a public trust to be guarded by all levels of government; therefore, it should not be commodified, privatized or
traded for commercial purposes. These rights must be enshrined at all levels of government. In particular, an international treaty must ensure these
principles are noncontrovertable.
Water is best protected by local communities and citizens, who must be respected as equal partners with governments in the protection and regulation of
water. Peoples of the Earth are the only vehicle to promote democracy and save water.
Similarly, all the Earth natural resources belong to the Global Community to be used, developed and protected for the maximum benefit of the people and of all
life.
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. Democracy is an excuse to gain control over those resources by mega corporations.
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.
The Global Community has many expert groups able to begin the necessary intergovernmental
negotiations towards establishing alternative revenue sources, which could include fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the
skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees levied on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on carbon content of fuels.
This thinking should give us a fresh start for a better future and bring some light to understanding previous claims of the many different
groups such as:
None of the above groups can claim ownership of the land and other Earth natural resources. They never did own the land and of all other Earth natural resources. And they never will.
Only the Global Community can rightfully claim ownership of the Earth.
And October 29 is a special day to claim that right.
Let us celebrate on that day!
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 Global Rights
and Global Law into our ways of life, justice, peace, cultural and spiritual freedom, security, and many other important aspects as described in the global ministries (health, agriculture,
energy, trade, resources, etc.).
The Global Community has shown that a global community can be united by religion to form a Global Government (GG). It does not have to be a democracy. A GG based on religion is very acceptable
to Earth Government and the Global Community.
People can unite in any way they wish.
The number of people making a typical global community becomes important when a democratic election to elect representatives to the Global Community is going on. The voting system of the Global
Community is very simple and practical. Earth Government has established the criteria of 'a global community of a million people'.
One representative per million people. A global community of 300 million people would have three hundred representatives.
You should seek forming a Global Government (GG) with nations of similar beliefs and interests. We should seek to de-centralize the U.N. by creating GGs.
We can no longer perceive ourselves as a People who could survive alone and a People who does not need anyone else. We belong and depend to this much larger
group, that of the Global Community. The 21st Century will see limitless links and interrelationships within the Global Community. That is the 'raison d'etre'
of the Global Governments Federation.
The power of Global Community was de-centralized to give each GG a better chance to find the right solutions to global issues. It can act faster and be more effective and efficient in
the context of the Global Community,
this great, wide, wonderful world made of all these diverse global communities within each Nation. The Global Community becomes thus more fluid and dynamic. A global
symbiotical relationship is created
between Nations and Global Community for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The relationship allows a global
equitable and peaceful development. This is
the basic concept that is allowing us to group willing Member Nations from different parts of the world.
The Global Community allows people to take control of their own lives. The Global Community was built from a grassroots process with a
vision for humanity that is challenging every person on Earth as well as nation governments. The Global Community has a vision of the
people working together building a global civilization including a healthy and rewarding future for the next generations. Global cooperation
brings people together for a common future for the good of all.
Earth governance does not imply a lost of state sovereignty and territorial integrity. A nation government exists within the framework of an
effective Global Community protecting common global values and humanity heritage. Earth governance gives a new meaning to the notions
of territoriality, and non-intervention in a state way of life, and it is about protecting the cultural heritage of a state. Diversity of cultural and
ethnic groups is an important aspect of Earth governance.
Earth governance is a balance between the rights of states with rights of people, and the interests of nations with the interests of the Global
Community, the human family, the global civil society.
Earth governance is about the rights of states to self-determination in the global context of the Global Community rather than the traditional
context of a world of separate states.
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.
Truly, the world is on the threshold of a global revolution, and needs to
proceed with the non-violent approach. The Global Community needs to build an economic democracy
based firmly on the basic principle that the Earth belongs equally to
everyone as a birthright. The Earth is for all people to labor and live
on and should never be the possession of any individual, corporation,
or uncaring government, any more than the air or water, or any other
Earth natural resources. An individual, or a business should have
no more than is needed for a healthy living.
The impacts of our democracy are destroying the Earth global life-support systems.
A few people have control over so much of the Earth.
To live in a world at peace and have conditions of basic justice and fairness in human interactions,
our democratic values must be based on the principle of equal rights to the Earth.
Territorial conflict 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.
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 military power.
Truly, resources have become the new political boundaries.
When people know they own the resources in their communities then people can start directing the wealth of their resources 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 in their community.
Global rights will help here. Global rights allow people to do what they need to do in order to be sustainable. People and communities are protected by global rights.
The Scale of Global Rights is very clear: the basic human rights are part of the most important rights on the Scale, they are primordial human rights.
Primordial human rights are those human rights that individuals
have by virtue of their very existence as human beings. Primordial human
rights are necessarily human needs but not all human needs are primordial
human rights. Nevertheless there are very specific primordial human needs.
First there are the material needs, the requisites for a dignified life:
Without these primordial human needs one cannot have and
enjoy the following non-primordial human needs:
For instance, the existing and future uses of water are constantly challenged;
balancing supply and demand is made even harder by the amounts of pollution
found in the air, land and waters. A large part of our body is made of
water, and we cannot live without water; therefore water is a primordial
human right by our very nature. In order to avoid conflicts and wars
over drinking (fresh)water, fresh water has been categorized as a primordial
human right. Industrial pollution plays a major role in the deterioration
of nature but this time the level of pollution is above the carrying capacity
of a healthy ecosystem. Pollution also affects significantly human health and
all lifeforms on Earth. Every person needs Oxygen to live so clean air
is certainly also a primordial human right by our very nature.
The Global Community asks how meaningful
is the right to life or to participation in political life if poverty,
gender inequality, destitution and epidemics prevent individuals from enjoying
freedom of movement, freedom to vote, to marry and so on? The Global
Community found evident that economic and social rights
are the essential prerequisite for the effectiveness and exercise of all
other rights (other than ecological and primordial human rights now and in the future) recognized for human beings.
The developing countries are having a harder
time than others to achieve the exercise of these rights on a lasting basis,
with the problems of economic globalization presenting new challenges.
We must therefore beware of enforcing economic rights alone to the detriment
of individual civil rights and the rights of all individuals to decide
their own fate and the future of their country, their political rights.
The universality of human rights recognizes the right of all individuals
to participate in the cultural life of their community and of other country,
to receive education and training, and to be informed. The Global
Community is aware that traditional customs and standards
could burden the sustainability of all life on Earth. They could burden
Earth society or any society forever, and holds individuals in a straitjacket.
We cannot accept that. No one can! There are choices to be made and you
must make them. Cultures can develop and can go on developing. Even religious
beliefs may evolve. We are living now and we are able to
create these changes. We are at least as bright, most certainly brighter,
than the people who were living thousand of years ago. As far as
the Global Community is concerned, cultural and religious
differences cannot be a reason or an excuse or a pretext for not respecting
human rights including and most importantly the ecological rights. Quite
the contrary, all kinds of cultures may promote human rights and especially
cultural rights. They are different in their achievements, but they are
equal in dignity where they are expressions of freedom. At any time
or in any given place, men, women and children use their culture to invent
new ways of making human rights a living reality. Diversity enriches us
if it respects the dignity of each individual, and if it takes account
of human rights as a whole.
* every person on Earth has a right to a secure
existence, and all states have an obligation to protect those rights
* prevention of conflicts and wars; identification, anticipation,
and resolving conflicts before they become armed confrontations. The Earth
Court of Justice will help here.
* military force is not a legitimate political instrument
* weapons of mass destruction are not legitimate instruments
of national defence
* eliminate all weapons of mass destruction from all
nations and have inspectors verifying progress to that effect
* all nations should sign and ratify the conventions
to eliminate nuclear, chemical and biological weapons
* the production and trade in arms should be listed as
a criminal act against humanity; this global ministry will introduce a
Convention on the curtailment of the arms trade, a provision for a mandatory
Arms Register and the prohibition of the financing or subsidy of arms exports
by governments
* the development of military capabilities is a potential
threat to the security of people and all life on Earth; the ministry will
make the demilitarization of global politics a high priority.
* anticipating and managing crises before they escalate
into armed conflicts and wars
* maintaining the integrity of the environment and global
life-support systems
* managing the environmental, economic, social, political
and military conditions that threatened the security of people and the
planet
* Community rights and the right that the greatest number of people has by virtue of its number
(50% plus one) and after voting representatives democratically (these rights can be and are usually a part of the constitution of a
country)
* and partly as economic rights (business and consumer rights, and their responsibilities and accountabilities) and
social rights (civil and political rights)
So the freedom of expression of a person is not as important
as the security of that person and the security of the state.
Consumers' rights impinge on the rights of other humans
living in the Global Community. The right to choice is the
consumer right that refers to the right to have a range and variety of
goods and services at competitive, fair prices and variable, satisfactory
quality. In order to assure choice in the developed country markets, governments
have implemented trade laws to facilitate cross border transactions and
transnational corporations (TNCs) have set up business off shore so they
can lessen the cost of the production process. The goods that are available
in the developed country markets are provided by slave labour, child labour,
sweatshops or in countries that allow the TNCs to forego adhering to pollution
or ecological concerns and human rights in pursuit of profit. Labour rights
are abused in efforts to earn more profits. This leads to abhorrent working
conditions, job insecurity and low living standards (all human rights).
Consumers in developed countries have been socialized to want more and
more things to consume but have not been socialized to appreciate the impact
of their consumption choices on the human rights of other people; that
is, they are not being responsible for their decisions.
The Global Community has now at hand
the method and framework to conduct societal checks and balances of a
global sustainable development. A more balance world economy will result
of annual checks and balances. Corporations will take their social responsibilities
and become involved in designing, monitoring, and implementing these checks
and balances. Several corporations have already done so. Results
will be taken into account in the evaluation of sustainable development.
Corporations are required to expand their responsibilities to include global
rights, the environment, community and family aspects, safe working conditions,
fair wages and sustainable consumption aspects.
Over the past several decades humanity has better itself through the acceptance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by most nations.
But now is time
to leave it behind and reach to our next step, that is a scale of social
values, the Scale of Global Rights and the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.
As a first step the Global Community researched and developed the Universal Declaration of Human and Earth Rights to complement for the deficiencies of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. But it was found to be a useless exercise of adding new statements to the Declaration.
Instead, and truly this is the new way of the future, the Global Community researched and developed the statement of rights and responsibilities of a person and of belonging to 'a global community' and to 'the Global Community', the Earth Community, the human family. This
was not, at first, meant to replace the Universal Declaration of Human and Earth Rights developed by the Global Community. But the Declaration becomes redundant. Only the statement was necessary. Even the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights becomes redundant as it is implicitly included in the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities of a person and of belonging to 'a global community' and to 'The Global Community'. There are a lot more
rights and responsibilites found in the Statement than in the Declaration.
The Global Community wants to help businesses to be active corporate members of the Global Community, the human family, the Earth Community.
You may be eligible to become a citizen of The Global Community.
A typical global community may be what a group of people, together, wants it to be. It can be a group of people with the same values. It can be a group
of people with the same cultural background, or the same religious background. The people making a global community may be living in
many different locations on the planet. With today's communications it is easy to group people in this fashion.
It can be a village, or two villages together where people have decided to unite
as one global community. The two villages may be found in different parts of the world. It can be a town, a city, or a nation. It can be two or more nations together.
A global community could be a group of Africans, maybe NGOs, or maybe businesses, in one(or several) of the nations of Africa, who decided to unite with another group(s), or businesses, situated in Canada, or elsewhere in the world. Together they can grow as a global community and
be strong and healthy.
Global warming is the highest threat to Earth security and is everyone's business. Terrorism was, and still is, a problem humanity needed to
tackle head-on and resolve the best we could, but global warming is by far the greatest threat to security of all people on Earth and to life itself.
We have never tackle the problem head-on. We played around the problem and its solution. We know the solution to the problem of global warming, we know what we
need to do to make this generation and future generations safe and secure, but we just never do what we really have to do to resolve
the problem. The biggest problem is that Canadians and Americans are getting too proud about things that are completely unimportant and missing out on the things that
are truly important, and we have been left behind by most other nations on those things that are truly important for the generations
to come and to life itself. I advise you to get acquainted with the Scale of Global Rights and with the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities in this Newsletter.
The Global Community is asking North Americans and everyone else on Earth to tackle the problem head-on. We must solve the problem we have with global warming.
Oil companies are responsible and accountable of their products from beginning to end. The 'end' for an oil company does not
end at the gas pump where a consumer buy your refine products. No! The end for you goes all the way to global warming, to pollution
of the environment, to the destruction of the global life-support systems, to taking away lives of future generations, to the destruction of life on Earth.
Very much so!
The Global Community proposes to ask you to pay a global tax on your products. The tax would be high enough to discourage consumers
from buying your products and force you to use viable alternatives. The Governments of the United States and Canada should put a high tax on all oil based products and their derivatives and certainly gasoline should have the highest tax possible.
The tax would be a carbon tax for the environment and the global life-support systems.
A workable type of Tobin tax should also be in place as it is a powerful instrument to promote sustainable development and force shareholders in moving away from
producing oil.
The Global Community also proposes to develope a method of raising global taxes, of redistributing incomes to the poorest communities, of providing debt-free technical assistance to non-industrial and
developing countries to help them out of poverty and to meet environmental and social standards.
The WTO, the World Bank, the IMF, the EU and the UN are worldwide organizations that can and should be used to raise global taxes to redistribute to the poorest and
developing nations.
Everyone ask how we could rid the world of weapons of mass destruction. Here is a new 'old' way to do it: trading permits. It can be done with
greenhouses gases to solve the problem with global warming. What about using a similar technique to get rid of all weapons of mass destruction: nuclear, biological and chemical, and others.
How many nations would be interested? The question to ask is would it work? First of all does it work for the greenhouse gases?
In connection between human well-being and a sound environment, Earth rights are ecological rights and the rights that human beings have in protecting their global life-support systems.
Earth rights are those rights that demonstrate the connection between human well-being and a sound environment. They include individuals and global
communities human rights and the rights to a clean environment, and participation in development decisions. We define ecological rights as those rights of the ecosystem of the Earth beyond human purpose. They are those rights that protect and
preserve the ecological heritage of the Earth for future generations. The Earth Court of Justice guarantees ecological rights in its Statute. The Court guarantees also the rights to a safe environment and an environment free
from environmental degradation.
Global rights represent
an ideal and a supreme goal which can give meaning to life in society.
Throughout the history of humanity, the rights of human beings have been
defined and enshrined with reference to the values of the dignity
of each individual and of freedom, equality and justice. Human dignity resides in each of us, and this dignity
must be recognized and respected by all. These values
are universal. The Global Community has accepted and enshrined them into its own ways of behaving and dealing with all peoples.
Cultures and societies differ so much that their expression takes varying
forms, but diversity does not affect the foundation of inalienable values
constituted by Global Rights. Each individual is recognized as a representative
of humankind.
The Global Community recognizes
that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Freedom
is both a principle and a value. Individuals have the freedom of decision
and action to the extent that their actions do not interfere with the rights
of others. It is because human beings are free that they are subject of
law and are creators and holders of rights. Whay good would be freedom if Earth rights are out-of-control? Freedom and Global Rights are
therefore basic to each other.
Fundamental freedoms are far from
being enjoyed by all but it is our common future, it is part of our Vision
statement for year 2024. Human freedom is a value to be attained. Equality
is a value, an ideal for people who live a hard day-to-day life of economic
inequalities such as unemployment, and social inequalities caused by the
privileges enjoyed by some people and the exploitation of others, and inequality
of educational and health opportunities. Freedom and equality are both
indispensable. They are therefore accepted and enshrined
as universal values by which the Global Community governs its affairs. As universal values they are concerned with
our ability to decide, to choose values and to participate in the making
of laws, and they are dependent on the recognition of other people. These
values forbid any form of discrimination on the grounds of race, nationality,
sex, religion, age or mother tongue. By accepting both values of freedom
and equality we can achieve justice. One can be answerable for one's
actions in a 'just' way only if judgements are given in the framework of
democratically established laws and courts.
Social justice is another
universal value to which the Global Community aspires and accepts
as a universal value. Social justice consists in sharing wealth with a
view to greater equality and the equal recognition of each individual's
merits. All persons within a given society deserve equal access to goods
and services that fulfill basic human needs.
We also accept global rights as part of our universal values
from which we base our decisions. Global Rights are closely
intertwined with democracy. Respect for Global Rights and fundamental freedoms is one of
the characteristics of a democracy. The typical fundamental freedoms of
a democracy (freedom of expression, thought, assembly, and association)
are themselves part of human rights. These freedoms can exist everywhere. Democracy
is a political system based on the participation of the people. It foresees
the separation of powers among the judiciary, the legislative and the executive
authorities, as well as free and regular elections.
The Global Community, has given back responsibility to every citizen on Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the
present and future well-being of life within the Global Community. We will work together in working out sound solutions to local and global problems.
It would be wrong and dishonest to blame it all on the leader of a country. Most problems in the world must find solutions at the local and global
community levels (and not assume that the leader alone is responsible and will handle it). There is a wisdom in the ways of very humble people
that needs to be utilized. Every humble person deserves to have ideas respected, and encouraged to develop his or her own life for the better.
Sound solutions to help manage and sustain Earth will very likely be found this way. Everyone can help assess the needs of the planet and
propose sound solutions for its proper management, present and future. Everyone can think of better ideas to sustain all life on Earth and
realize these ideas by conducting positive and constructive actions. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a
sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to
a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss; that is the grassroots process. The Global Community can help
people realized their actions by coordinating efforts efficiently together.
Policies for securing global rights are:
1. It is better to tax "bads" rather than "goods". Governments have long used selective taxation to discourage use of alcohol and cigarettes,
while unprocessed food and children¹s clothing remain tax-free. It is best to continue this tradition with selective "eco-sin taxes" to
discourage a wide range of grey products and lifestyles. At the same time, taxes would be eliminated on green products and lifestyles. People
should be able to avoid taxation by choosing green products and lifestyles.
2. Taxes should be designed to conserve resources and energy. Rather than taxing jobs and profits,
taxes should be moved to resource use and energy consumption to reward conservation. The community should benefit from the use of commonly
held resources. Using resources is a privilege, not a right, and the user should pay for the privilege. Resources must also be shared with future generations and other species.
3. Taxes should be designed to increase employment. Moving taxes onto resources and land use and off of incomes will make people less
expensive to employ. Products produced by green production methods, which tends to use fewer resources and less energy will avoid
taxation. As energy costs rise, the price of labour becomes more economical, and green products which tend to encourage value-added
processes, will provide more high quality, skilled jobs than resource intensive products.
4. Distributive taxes are preferable to re-distributive taxes. If wealth is distributed more fairly
in the first place less re-distribution will be necessary. Eliminating consumption taxes will eliminate the only tax the poor must pay. By moving
taxes on to resource use and land, the poor, who generally own less land and use fewer resources, will avoid taxation, thus requiring
less redistribution. Taxing land but not the use of land, will reduce taxation on higher density housing, lowering housing costs for low-income
citizens, thus reducing another need for re-distribution.
5. Resource taxes should be assessed as early as possible. Resources should be taxed before entering
the manufacturing process in order to green all aspects of the manufacturing process from extraction to the finished product.
Increasing taxes on resource and energy use will encourage resource and energy efficiency, innovation, reuse, repair, recycling, and used material recovery.
6. Taxing unearned income is preferable to taxing earned income. The tax shift to resource use and
community-generated land values will distribute income more fairly without dependence on income and business taxation to redistribute
income. Taxing unearned income (resources, land) and not earned income (jobs, profits) will reduce the rich-poor gap since the rich
are always in a better position to capture unearned or windfall income by their ability to hold assets that they do not have to consume.
7. Green tax shifting is revenue-neutral, not a tax break or tax grab. The taxes paid by businesses and individuals
collectively will not change, but greener businesses and consumers will reduce their taxes. Grey businesses and consumers will pay higher taxes. Studies have
shown that 50% of businesses and consumers will be unaffected or only slightly affected by tax shifting, roughly one quarter will realize tax reductions one quarter will be taxed more.
8. Resource use and community-generated land value taxation are fairer. Resource use and land taxes are much simpler
to collect and harder to evade than taxes on income and business profits. Since there are far fewer points of taxation than with traditional tax sources, a move
to resource use and land taxation will reduce the size of the underground economy. The difficulty of evading these taxes will reduce the problem of overseas tax havens.
9. Green taxation increases international competitiveness. Eliminating taxes on domestic labour will reduce labour costs in Ontario and
therefore reduce out-sourcing by businesses seeking cheap labour in other countries or provinces.
10. Pay for what you take, not for what you make. Businesses should not be taxed for hiring people or for
earning a profit, but should be charged for using resources and polluting the planet. People should not be taxed for
earning an income or purchasing products but should be charged for the value of land they own and the resources used in the products they
buy. Resource use and polluting are privileges not rights, and businesses and consumers should pay for these privileges.
11. Taxing community-generated land values is beneficial. Since the community around it, not its owner, creates
the value of land, the community should receive the benefits it has created. The owner is entitled to a fair profit
but not to a windfall profit that rightfully belongs to the community that generated the wealth in the first place. Under LVT the specific use
of the land will not be taxed, only the land itself, within the existing zoning. Community-generated land value taxation encourages the efficient
use of land, reduces sprawl, reduces speculation, tends to reduce land prices and improves land use patterns.
12. Taxes should encourage local, sustainable, value-added production over imports. Culturally unique products
and services will be valued by green tax reform over mass production. The sale price should include the true costs of products, services and distances
traveled, and should be designed to encourage local, sustainable production.
13. Taxes should break up monopolies. The most important monopolies are resource monopolies and land monopolies.
When a person or a business has control or exclusive rights over large amounts of a resource or large amounts of land, this person or business reaps windfall
profits, which is unjust. These resources and this land belong to the community and if individuals are granted access to it they should pay a fair
price for this privilege or right. Land Value Taxation aims to ensure that the wealth created by usage of land and resources that rightfully belong
to the community accrue back to that community.
14. Taxes should be applied only once. Rather than taxing the same wealth repeatedly through personal income,
business income, sales, re-sale, interest, capital gains, property transfer, inheritance, taxation should only impact the
use of a resource and the ownership of land on a sustained basis (ie property tax on site value).
15. MINIMIZING INCOME TAXES
a) Moving taxes off of incomes and onto resource
use and community-generated land value is critical in order to achieve
and maintain a green economy
and society.
b) Traditionally governments tax the component
of production in least supply. In the first half of the 20th century labour
was scarce and resources and
land were plentiful and indeed considered
infinite, so it made sense for government to tax incomes and not resource
use or land. Now, however,
resources and land are scarce and labour is
plentiful, so governments should modernize the tax structure by switching
the source of taxation away
from incomes and onto resources use and land.
c) Income taxes are a regressive tax since they
tax a "good" not a "bad". Since jobs are desirable we should not tax employment.
Income taxes are a
disincentive to employment since they make
people expensive to employ. Employers often avoid taxation by employing
fewer people and opting
instead for energy-intensive, chemical-intensive
and resource-intensive production. Conversely, taxing resource and land
lightly sends the message
that these community-held resources are unimportant
and may be squandered by anyone without consequences.
d) It is claimed that income taxes help reduce
economic inequity among people. This is untrue since employers simply pass
on the extra payroll
deduction to consumers. The amount of income
tax paid is irrelevant to labour negotiations, since bargaining is based
on net pay, not gross pay. In
determining an employee's worth, the employer
simply calculates the gross amount based on take-home pay. Salaries of
high worth employees and
CEOs are simply raised to the level necessary
to ensure net pay reaches the desired level.
e) In contrast the rich-poor gap will be narrowed
more effectively by moving taxes off of incomes and onto resource and land
use, since wealthier
people who choose to spend their money on
grey products and lifestyles will be taxed more while people with lower
incomes will be able to avoid
taxation by living green. In addition, replacing
income taxes with green taxes would help conserve resources, save energy,
foster value-added and
labour intensive production (ie. more jobs),
and reduce pollution.
16. MINIMIZING BUSINESS TAXES
a) Neither the right wing call for corporate tax
cuts nor the left-wing mantra of increased corporate taxes will engender
a transition to a just or green
society. Reducing or increasing taxes on corporate
profits is green-neutral (taxes which neither encourage nor discourage
greening the planet). If the
goal is for businesses to succeed and employ
people, it makes no sense to apply business taxes or payroll deductions.
b) Moving taxes off of profits and employment
and onto the resources, land and pollution will speed progress toward a
green industrial economy.
Recourse use and pollution are privileges
not rights, and businesses should pay for these privileges. While business
people would prefer not to pollute
the planet or squander resources, the present
tax structure gives them little choice. Businesses usually follow the path
of least tax resistance and will
readily go green if tax incentives pointed
the way.
c) Green production means more jobs, resource
conservation, and less pollution. Ecological fiscal reform and green tax
shifting are revenue neutral; the
collective tax burden paid by business is
unchanged, but it will reward businesses that go green and discourage businesses
that remain grey.
17. PHASE OUT CONSUMPTION TAXES
a) Sales taxes are unhelpful in moving to a green
society since socially useful and ecologically sound products are taxed
equally to socially or ecologically
detrimental products. To reduce consumption
of resources, taxes should be applied early in the manufacturing process
in order to green all aspects of
the manufacturing process. Taxing early will
dramatically reduce the ticket price of green products and raise the price
of grey products, positively
influencing consumer behaviour. Taxing early
will encourage resource and energy efficiency, innovation, reuse, repair,
recycling, and used material
recovery.
b) Sales taxes are regressive since they discourage
people from making both green and grey purchases, thus damaging the economy
and killing jobs. As
well sales taxes are often unfairly evaded
by the underground economy, while resource use, pollution and land rent
levies, by contrast, are simpler to
apply and more difficult to evade.
18. RESOURCE USE TAXATION
a) Income taxes, consumptions taxes, and taxes
on profits are all green-neutral, ie. green jobs, green purchases and green
profits are taxed at the same
rate as grey jobs, grey purchases and grey
profits. By contrast, resources taxes levied early in the production process
foster conservation,
efficiencies, innovation, value-added production,
and labour-intensive production. Local sustainable production, short run
niche production, and
skilled trades and crafts receive a bias since
the full costs of transportation and mass production are internalized.
b) Taxing resources minimizes waste and pollution
thus reducing the load on government for health care costs, waste disposal
costs, transportation
infrastructure, and pollution cleanup costs.
The market will drive resource and energy conservation without government
micro-management.
c) Resource taxation would focus on a small number
of key local resources and a small number of imported resources
The Global Community has proposed a democracy for the people based on the fact that land, the air, oil, minerals, other natural resources
rightly belong to the Global Community. The Earth is the birthright of all life.
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.
The planet and all its resources of land, water, forests, minerals,
the atmosphere, electro-magnetic frequencies, and even satellite orbits belong to the communities where they are found along with the Global Community. The Global Economic
Model makes sure that the profits of the Earth will benefit the people
and all life, and secure an age of peace and fairness for all.
works for all.
The method of introducing and making the transition to the new Global finance, credit, money and banking system, is by
extending multi-billion unit revolving lines of credit in Global Credits or Earth currency to all developing countries, and
to other countries, willing to accept the terms defined herein.
The method bases the capacity and ability of the GFCC to extend lines of credit simply on facts of people available to work, resources
available, and technology available, whether within a country or by transfer, and is not dependent on nor limited by prior savings.
The Global Financial Credit Corporation (GFCC) shall calculate initial revolving lines of credit in Global Credits or Earth currency on
the basis of:
A. G50,000,000 units (about 1987 U.S. $1 billion) for each million of population for countries having natural population
increase rates by birth of more than 2% annually,
B. G75,000,000 units (about 1987 U.S. $1.5 billion) per million of population for countries having natural population increase rates of between 1% and 2%,
C. G100,000,000 units (about 1987 U.S. $2 billion) per million of population for countries having natural population increase rates of between 0% and 1%, and
D. G125,000,000 units (about 1987 U.S. $2.5 billion) per million of population for countries having zero or less population growth.
The extension of financial credit by the GFCC is further sustained by the following values:
The value of all the resources in the oceans and seabeds beyond 20 km. offshore, which is claimed as Global Territory and as the Common
Heritage of Humanity by the Interim Earth Government Global Law.
The claim of humanity as a whole (as represented by the Interim Global Parliament during this transition period) to the equivalent of
G500,000,000 units plus (roughly equivalent of ten trillion dollars U.S. 2004 currency), which the separate nations of Earth currently
propose to obtain from their citizens and spend for genocidal military equipment, preparations, and operations during the next ten
years.
The financial, credit, money and banking system under the Earth Government must be based on virtually
unlimited financial credit, which can be extended wherever there are people to work, resources available,
technology available, and viable plans for the use of the credit, without being dependent on or limited by
prior savings or prior capital formation.
Financial credit must be available in sufficient quantity to carry out unlimited and life-saving peaceful
development projects in all countries and all parts of Earth, as well as to implement fully the Global
Disarmament Agency, the Emergency Global Rescue Administration, the World Economic Development
Organization, and all other Global Legislative Measures adopted by the Interim Global Parliament and
subsequently to be adopted by the fully constituted Global Parliamentt.
To launch such a Global Finance, Global Credit, Money, and Global Banking System, it is desirable that the National
Governments of a sufficient number of countries (sufficient to establish full credibility and operative
acceptance of the new global financial system) shall ratify or give provisional ratification to the Global Constitution
of Earth Government, and agree to use and make the transition to the new global financial system.
A basket of measured commodities linked to the value of an hour's worth of labor is one way to define the value of a monetary system's
unit. The selection of items for the basket is somewhat arbitrary, but one can select items that any human being is likely to consume
if the particular resources are available. Once determined by law, the valuation can take place. No valuation can take place if no
world legislation arbitrarily sets the initial value for the unit. The following basket of 16 measured commodities represents
approximately what any adult worldwide on a living wage might be expected to consume or conserve in one day. Therefore, this value
is equal to the minimum wage that a citizen can earn in one four-hour day. The basket is
also a small enough basket to be comprehensible and memorable to most adults. The following basket of 16 measured commodities
linked to the value of an hour of labor is hereby the basis for the unit of Global Credit or Earth currency:
[(1 kilogram wheat + 1 kilogram rice + 1 kilogram corn + 1 kilogram potato + 1 kilogram manioc + 1 kilogram soya + 1 kilogram peanut + 1 kilogram lentil+ 1 kilogram pea + 1 kilogram garbanzo + 1 kilogram nyam) / 11] + 10 litres of pure, potable water + 1 litre crude oil + [(100 grams iron + 100
grams aluminum + 100 grams copper) / 3]
= 1 unit of Global Credit or Earth currency
= 4 hours labor at minimum wage
(@ G0.25 units per hour minimum)
= 1 day's wage.
A person may obtain other commodities by trade in value, so a person need not personally have any of the commodities in stock in order
to conserve value in the monetary system.
The value of the Global Credit or Earth currency may not be adjusted by any external private bank, such as the World Bank, or the
International Monetary Fund. Included commodities may only be added or subtracted by the Global Parliament.
This is a very important concept that the Global Community must deal with now.
This is perhaps the greatest lesson that the United Nations
will need to learn in the coming years. With a world population still dramatically increasing, a new set of ways of doing things will be
more appropriate in dealing with one another. The Global Constitution shows this new way of doing things. There is now
a webpage for the ratification of the Global Constitution, and we are asking you to do so now. As a person, you can sign your approval of the Global
Constitution. As a government you can ratify it.
In my country Canada, direct democracy applies just the same. We are not just talking about a population such as the population of Quebec going through a referendum to separate from Canada, or for
every province of Canada having a veto power at the federal level of government in Ottawa, we are talking about Canada having a veto power in the Global Government of North America (GGNA).
We want the population of Canada to hold a referendum on having such veto power, and we dont want to let Ottawa dictate to all Canadians what is good for
them. We want no more a Brian Mulroney type of Prime Minister to make deal South of us such as the FTA, or now the FTAA and
NAFTA. Let Canadians have a say in major decisions. Direct democracy will allow us to be part of the solution, and to be a responsible
and accountable People.
The threat of international terrorism originates for the most part outside North America and is due primarily on the American Government
foreign policies. All Member Nations of the GGNA should have a veto power on such policies. All foreign policies should
be dealt by the GGNA and not by a single individual Member Nation. Security should be handle by the GGNA. Any weakness in
controlling access to Member Nations from abroad reduces the security of the GGNA as
a whole and exacerbates the pressure to intensify controls on intracontinental movement
and traffic, which increases the transaction costs associated with trade and travel within
Member Nations.
Canada wants a veto power on all major proposals, policies, strategies submitted for approval to the White House Senate and Congress.
Not as just another 'State' but as an independent nation that is an important part of the North American continent.
No Member Nation of the GGNA is allowed to go alone (unilaterally) on any major proposals, policies, and strategies, or any action (s) that can have an
impact on all other Member Nations.
As we have always done in the past with the Global Dialogue, Global Dialogue 2008 was made to allow your participation in the
making of proposals and principles toward the development of the GGNA. We are asking you to participate in Global Dialogue 2008.
More specifically, we are asking you to discuss with us the following proposals and principles.
a. Global Rights within the GGNA
b. GGNA proposals
c. Canada wants a veto power
d. GGNA principles
e. Politics and Justice without borders: Canada, Mexico, and the U.S.
f. Good bye NAFTA, this is your Requiem
Shortly after 1985, the Global Community Assessment Centre (GCAC) has researched and developed a process for global voting. Since then GCAC has conducted several global
voting on issues. There are 161 nations that have so far been surveyed. Some results are shown here. More surveys will be completed in the coming months and published here.
Global voting has been and will continue to be a strong mean of obtaining the global opinion on issues. This method is different than data obtained from government agencies
of the 161 nations. Data from those agencies are important but global voting is also very important. Global voting probes directly into a population. It is actually direct
democracy.
A) How 'direct democracy' works
Over the past decade, direct democracy has been promoted by the Global Community in many past Newsletters.
The Global Community Assessment Centre (GCAC) conducts surveys in all nations on a continuous basis. Many of thoses surveys have been used to probe all aspects of direct
democracy.
Results are used to obtain the 'Global Community Overall Picture' which describes the situation in all nations of the world such as those of North America, Central America and
the Caribbean, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, South-East Asia, Middle-East, and Oceania.
We have promoted 'direct democracy' and a voting system based on 'proportional representation'.
Sections 4 on the Scale of Global Rights
has established community rights, rights of direct democracy, and the right that
the greatest number of people has by virtue of its number (50% plus one) and after voting representatives democratically.
Direct democracy is not new to us. It is a fundamental right. Any population on Earth can choose freedom by having a referendum
extablishing such a freedom from another nation. Any polulation can start a new life within the Global Community by voting together to create a new nation,
theirs to have. It is a fundamental choice and right that was always there for all Peoples.
As defined in Chapter 10.6.3, Chapter 9 Article 1, Chapter 10.2 Article 3, and Section 4 on the Scale of Global Rights of the Global Constitution, direct democracy is a community right.
Direct democracy is the right of global citizens to hold referendums on any issue -- and to veto legislation.
Direct democracy implies that:
* Global Citizens are willing and able to participate fully in the
decision making process on issues that most affect them.
* Global Citizens should have full access to information on
global affairs, and the conduct of global business should be
open and transparent, with a well-developed global-wide
communication system.
* Global Parliament should always recognize that it is accountable to
Global Citizens.
* Direct democracy will encourage global citizen input into global
policy, and enable Global Citizens to participate more actively in
global affairs.
* Direct democracy will raise the level of public awareness
and encourage debate of key global issues.
* Global Parliament can exercise the leadership necessary to become a
model of effective “direct democracy” for all global communities.
* A direct democracy global law gives Global Citizens and Global Parliament an
effective and orderly way of addressing contentious issues.
* A direct democracy global law strengthens the hand of Global Parliament by
providing additional credibility in dealing with senior
governments and non-elected bodies.
* A direct democracy bylaw shows that Global Parliament has faith in its
Global Citizens. Thus, Global Parliament in turn earns increased respect from
Global Citizens.
* Direct democracy does not mean
government by referendum. Almost all Global Parliament decisions would
continue to be made as they are now with
the usual consultative processes. Few issues would be
important and contentious enough to prompt referenda.
Direct democracy is
important to sustain life on the planet but its position on the Scale gives it its overall importance.
'Direct democracy' is very much like a voting system based on 'proportional representation'. There are many different aspects of 'direct democracy'.
For instance, in a single riding there may be as many as 8 seats and several
candidates running. Parties offer voters a slate of local candidates. Voters can rank candidates of the same party, but may also choose to give support to candidates of different
parties. Voters rank as many or as few candidates as they wish. Voters can rank any number of candidates without fear their vote will be wasted by selecting
unpopular candidates. A voter’s rankings will be considered in order until that voter’s ballot can be used. When your number one choice is eliminated for lack of
support your number two becomes your first choice. When a voter’s ballot is used in support of a given candidate, but that candidate has a surplus of votes, a
ballot’s unused portion will be transferred to the voter’s next choice until a ballot’s full value has been used. Most votes will count, little fear of wasting one’s vote, no fear of vote splitting. No need to support a candidate or party you don’t
really want for fear of helping elect those you like even less. You can vote authentically. This is freedom for voters. This is how democracy is supposed to work.
This voting system empowers voters more than parties because votes are for candidates not for parties. Also, candidate selection will take place at the local riding level,
not at party head office. Most importantly, voters will rank candidates of the same party as well as candidates of different parties. It maximizes choice for voters. Competition is not just
between candidates of different parties but also between candidates of the same party. This voting system is also a measure of independence from party control
and that will make a very significant contribution to greater accountability in government. It will yield a legislature that
mirrors the political, social, ethnic, and geographic diversity of a population. Electing candidates in multi-member ridings ensures a broader range of political interests and issues will be represented than is possible under any other system.
Preferential voting induces a politics of cooperation, consensus, and civility.
Direct democracy comprises a form of democracy and theory of civics wherein all citizens can directly participate in the
political decision-making process. Some proposed systems would give people both legislative and executive powers, but most
extant systems allow input into the legislative process only.
Direct democracy in its traditional form is rule by the people through referenda. The people are given the right to pass laws, veto
laws and withdraw support from a representative (if the system has representatives) at any time.
Direct democracy in its modern sense is characterized by three pillars:
* Initiative
* Referendum including binding referenda
* Recall
The second pillar can include the ability to hold a binding referendum on whether a given law should be scrapped. This effectively
grants the populace a veto on government legislation. The third pillar gives the people the right to recall elected officials by
petition and referendum.
In Canada, the use of citizens' assemblies (also known as an estates-general in the province of Quebec), involving citizen bodies
chosen at random, is growing and avoids the disadvantages of older, more plebiscitary forms of direct democracy. The province of
British Columbia recently set up a Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform in which members were chosen at random for each riding.
The citizens' assembly has just recommended the province use Single Transferable Voting (STV) to elect the provincial legislature.
In a referendum conducted on May 17, 2005, 57% of the voters approved by this new system of voting.
Worldwide, there are as many as 120 nations with electoral democracies. Several nations are struggling to have political rights and civil liberties.
Most of Africa and Middle and Far East nations are without electoral democracies. Is democratization a global long-term trend? Is democracy as we
know it today a good thing? Will it pass the test of the global problems humanity is facing today? How successful is democracy in a country such as India? the United States? Britain?
What indicators could measure success or failure? What improvements could make democracy a better political system?
Each and everyone of us on Earth was born free and equal in dignity and rights. Respect for Global Rights and
fundamental freedoms is one of the characteristics of a democracy. The typical fundamental
freedoms of a democracy (freedom of expression, thought, assembly, and association) are
themselves part of global rights. These freedoms can exist everywhere. Democracy is a
political system based on the participation of the people, global cooperation. It foresees the separation of powers
among the judiciary, the legislative and the executive authorities, as well as free and regular
elections.
To be successful, a newly formed democracy requires a long-term economic stability, multiparty elections, a written constitution, a
free press, a legal reform with an independent judiciary and good pro-democratic leadership. We have seen Britain and the United States helping
other nations become democracies. Help was in the form of military action. How successful was forcing democracy into a people using the military? After World War I, following the destruction of the Ottoman Empire, the European powers created states and
appointed officials to administer newly created democracies in and around the Middle East. A lot of what was created had no legitimacy for the people of the Moslem Civilization and Western domination brings much of the same kind of hegemony in the region as with the British.
Since World War II, America along with junior partners, Great Britain, France and Russia, have refashioned the Middle East in
their own image, building a new political and territorial order on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire. Despite the efforts of secular and religious
local forces who rejected the West's intrusion, America and the junior partners formed states, chose people to govern them, and drawn
frontiers between them. But this new order never worked because to Arab nationalists it meant betrayal of wartime promises made by
the Allies, military occupation, and the exploitation of resources and of the Moslem people. The Jewish National Home in Palestine further fueled hostility toward the West. The post war
order imposed by Great Britain and the Allies created instabilities and disorder (the Ottoman Empire was stable and had order) throughout the Moslem world. On November 29, 1947, the
United Nations passed a resolution partitioning Palestine into two independent states, one Jewish and one Arab. The Jewish accepted the resolution and called their land Israel,
but the Moslem states rejected it and sent their armies to regain the land but lost the war against Israel. The Palestinians lost their land and
have been without a homeland ever since. They became refugees on their own land. Israel's occupation of Moslem land and refusal
to recognize the national rights of the Palestinians were the fundamental problems. The State of Israel made its entrance into history in a war against the Moslems.
Throughout this period America was a major support in lobbying the UN partition plan and in the birth of the State of Israel. Was the creation of Israel, a new democracy based on the military occupation, a success for democratic systems?
Is it right for us to create a new democracy using the military? Israel has been at war ever since its creation as a democracy. Is that truly a democracy or is it a military invasion of the Middle East by the United States?
How successful were these newly created democracies? What have we truly accomplished? Were the people involved in creating the new democracies or
was it because Britain and the United States military forcing new values into the people ways of life, changing their cultural heritage and religion?
The Global Community is proposing that:
a) different nations may require different political systems at different times
b) a democratic system is not a "must have it" to be a responsible member nation of Earth Government
c) all democracies are to be upgraded, or improved upon, to be a responsible member nation of Earth Government. The Scale of
Global Rights and the Global Constitution
are the newly added requirements to all democratic systems of the world.
The Global Community has found two important aspects contributing to the success of any direct democracy:
a. Scale of Global Rights
b. Direct democracy as defined in the Global Constitution
What is the most important is not so much being a citizen within a democratic system, but it is first and foremost more important to be
in line with the Scal of Global Rights.
Scale of Global Rights
* Ecological rights and the protection of the global life-support systems
* Primordial human rights
* The ecological rights, the protection of the global life-support systems and the primordial human rights of future generations
* Community rights, rights of direct democracy and global voting, and the right that the greatest number of people has by virtue of its number (50% plus one) and
after voting representatives democratically (direct democracy)
* Economic rights (business and consumer rights, and their responsibilities and accountabilities) and social rights (civil and political rights)
* Cultural rights and religious rights
Fourth on the Scale, a community may choose to use any type of political systems of its liking, a democracy or otherwise. That is a community
right, the right that the greatest number of people has by virtue of its number (50% plus one) and
after voting representatives democratically.
All political systems will be improved by increasing education, transparency, accountability, media access, respect for global rights,
tolerance of political opposition, free elections, participation and independent civil society.

Climate change is a result of the rising global temperatures associated with global warming and human activities, the effects of which have a direct impact on all life on Earth.
Global warming is causing the melting of the polar ice caps.
The Polar Regions are very sensitive indicators of global warming. These regions are highly vulnerable to rising temperatures and may be virtually ice free by the
summer of 2030.
The Global Community also proposes that all nations of the world promote the Scale of Global Rights and the criteria to obtain the Global Community
Citizenship. Every global community citizen lives a life with the higher values described in the Scale and the criteria. Global community citizens are good members of
the human family. Most global problems, including global warming and world overpopulation, can be managed through acceptance of the Scale and the criteria.
The Global Community can contribute in evaluating options and strategies for adapting to climate change as it occurs, and in identifying human activities that are
even now maladapted to climate. There are two fundamental types of response to the risks of climate change:
1. reducing the rate and magnitudes of change through mitigating the causes, and
2. reducing the harmful consequences through anticipatory adaptation.
Mitigating the causes of global warming implies limiting the rates and magnitudes of increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, either by reducing
emissions or by increasing sinks for atmospheric CO2. Reducing the harmful consequences can be achieved by co-operating together with the global ministries on
climate change and emergencies. The Global Community has created the global ministries to help humanity be prepared to fight the harmful consequences of a
global warming through anticipatory adaptation. The global ministries on climate change and emergencies are now operating. The ministries have developed:
1. policy response to the consequences of the global warming, and
2. strategies to adapt to the consequences of the unavoidable climate change.
The Global Community has given back responsibility to every citizen on Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the
present and future well-being of life within the Global Community. We will work together in finding sound solutions to local and global problems.
It would be wrong and dishonest to blame it all on the leader of a country. Most problems in the world must find solutions at the local and global
community levels (and not assume that the leader alone is responsible and will handle it). There is a wisdom in the ways of very humble people
that needs to be utilized. Every humble person deserves to have ideas respected, and encouraged to develop his or her own life for the better.
Sound solutions to help manage and sustain Earth will very likely be found this way. Everyone can help assess the needs of the planet and
propose sound solutions for its proper management, present and future. Everyone can think of better ideas to sustain all life on Earth and
realize these ideas by conducting positive and constructive actions. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a
sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to
a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss; that is the grassroots process. The Global Community can help
people realized their actions by coordinating efforts efficiently together.
