I. Introduction
Our planet is populated with living beings
consisting of millions of different life forms interacting with each
other to survive, thus forming an intricate web of life in different
ecosystems on the planet. The interaction and interdependence between
life forms are the driving force that creates and maintains an
ecological - environmental equilibrium that has sustained life on Earth
for millions of years enabling it to evolve, flourish and diversify.
Global Community values Earth’s diversity in all its forms, the
non-human as well as the human.
On Earth’s surface exists a
diversity of arctic, temperate and tropical ecosystems with many
different varieties of plants, animals, and human beings, all of which
are dependent on soils, waters and local climates. Biodiversity, the
diversity of organisms, depends on maintenance of ecodiversity, the
diversity of ecosystems. Cultural diversity – which in effect is a form
of biodiversity – is the historical result of humans fitting their
activities, thoughts and language to specific geographic ecosystems.
Therefore, whatever degrades and destroys ecosystems is both a
biological and a cultural source.
Today the ecological languages
of aboriginal people, and the cultural diversity they represent, are as
endangered as tropical forest species and for the same reasons: the
world is being homogenized, ecosystems are being simplified, diversity
is declining, variety is being lost.
Along with the lost of
life, there is also the urgent human need to survive, and for this
reason Global Community has declared a planetary state of emergency
which then brought up the need of the Global Community Movement to
Help 
II. Protection of the global life-support systems
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 Earth essential resources which
are becoming much harder to obtain and create more pollution and wastes, 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; and
* 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.
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.
There are many related aspects of the global life-support systems:
* global warming
* Ozone layer depletion
* Oxygen supplies
* wastes of all kind including nuclear and release of radiation; chemical pollution
* primordial global rights deterioration
* 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 and fresh water use
* phosphorus and nitrogen cycles
* change in land use and lost of agricultural soils
* global ocean acidification
* 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
And all these related aspects must be looked after by all of us for our survival as a species and for all other lifeforms on our planet.
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 Global Community.
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 some Middle East country. The nature of global security has changed since the rise of Global Community.
Security used to be about the protection of the state and its boundaries, people, institutions and values from an outside threat.
Global Community emphasizes as a priority the prohibition of external interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states. Today the security of
people within Global Community is just as important as the security of states. Citizens must be secure.
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 human and Earth rights
As a first step to getting help in managing those threats to security, all nations can and should approve the
first three sections on the Scale of Global Rights . The approval would supersede a nation
political and physical border anywhere in the world. The Global Protection
Agency (GPA) would have the approval from all member nations to give immediate
help. Somewhat like an emergency unit but at the global level. That is what
those first three sections mean: an efficient and immediate emergency
response to help.
First, participating member nations need to give
their approval to the GPA.
The GPA is a global organization much like
the World Trade Organization (WTO) for trade between nations, or the World
Health Organization (WHO) for health. The GPA offers an efficient emergency
response to help.
The GPA is a short term solution, an immediate
response to help. There are also long term solutions. As with the short term
solution, the most significant long term solution is also related to the Scale
of Global Rights.
III. Planetary state of emergency
Global Community is now applying more emphasis on the urgent need from the people of all nations to give everyone essential services.
And as part of Global Protection
Agency (GPA), Global Community proposes to establish in each nation an "Emergency, Rescue, and
Relief Centre"
We have shown that several events have contributed to the planetary
state of emergency:
A) widespread poverty and hunger in
more than half the world population
B) The global warming of the planet due to
human activities
C) Climate change
D) Economic and military invasion of
nations by the United States and NATO
E) Absence of fair and democratic global
governance at the United Nations and European Union
F) Our global environment and global
life-support systems are threatened by natural and human made
disasters
G) Leadership worldwide applied wrongly, destructively
The planetary state of emergency is
showing us that humanity needs and wants are so destructive to itself
and to all life on Earth that something significant must be done to
protect this amazing life heritage, not just for ourselves but the next
generations. Over the last Century humanity has been depleting the
natural capital of Earth, rich agricultural soils, its groundwater
stored during ice ages, and its biodiversity. Overpopulation and
increasing per capita consumption are major reasons for the depleting of
resources. Politicians and business executives are under the delusion
that such a disastrous end to the modern human enterprise and
institutions can be avoided by technological fixes that will allow the
population and the economy to grow forever. The recent event that
brought down the American economy is a signal of desperation, a wake-up
call, something has gone very wrong and we need to make things right.
People from Wall Street live a dream life. Our current way of life is
unsustainable. Our current way of life is unsustainable. We are the
first species that will have to self-consciously impose limits on
ourselves if we are to survive.
Can we really believe this world
can go forward indefinitely, a few decades?
The health of the planet is not
what Wall Street is showing us. The reality is that we see more trends such as:
- groundwater contamination,
- high levels of toxicity,
- topsoil loss,
- widening inequality in the world,
- the intensity of the violence, ethnic tensions and religious based terrorism,
- war over oil and gas,
- floods, and
- urban stress and the desperation that so many feel at every level of society.
Is this a sustainable system?
We need to recognize
the failure of fundamental systems and to abandon the notion that all there
is to do is recalibrate the institutions that structure our lives today.
Somewhat like the US Congress is doing. Print dollar bills by the trillions, inject them into the
system, and everything will be fine. We need to realize that the way we
thought things would work out truly is gone. Capitalism is at the core
of this unsustainable system. It gives rise to the
high-energy/mass-consumption configuration of privileged societies. We
must set-up measures to stop speculators from benefiting from the misery
of others, by punishing corrupt politicians, and by collectively
understanding that bankers are rich because we have placed our money in
their hands. Ultimately, unless we begin to see the world as a whole, in
which things are truly interconnected, our governments will continue
their hostilities, and when the time
comes for us to complain, we will be faced with the guns of the police
whom we have helped to create with the payment of our taxes.
It's time for us to come to terms with reality. We need ways of
organizing ourselves to help us live in a world with less energy and
fewer material goods. We need to recover a deep sense of community that
has disappeared from many of our lives. The World is in the global
crisis. We are exploiting our natural resources, minerals and fuels
faster than we are gaining access to alternative sources. We are
polluting the natural environment faster than the environment can
regenerate itself to reach the level suitable for human needs. We are
changing climate dangerously. Our attitude and way of life show a moral
degradation of the existing forms of life on the planet. It's time for
us to protect what is left to protect: life itself on Earth. This is the
reason for the creation of a planetary biodiversity zone. In this paper
we have shown the benefits of biodiversity to humanity and hope this
approach will motivate others to help create the zone.
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.
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.
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 Global
Community ?
IV. Earth biodiversity zone
Biological diversity means the variety
and variability among living organisms, global communities, and the
ecosystems in which they are a part.
Elements of biodiversity
include:
a) genetic diversity which includes the different
genetic make-up among individuals of a single species
b)
species diversity which includes the different species within a
particular geographic area, such as the fish, birds, insects,
bacteria and plants that live within a
wetland
The variety of ecosystem types include
forests, grasslands, deserts, wetlands, streams, lakes and oceans, and
the global communities within them. These communities interact with
each other and with the non-living environment.
It is well
known that the planet's diversity is being threatened. The effect that
human activities have had on our planet have become a major concern.
Erosion, pollution, desertification, increased rates of extinction can
all be traced back to human activities and are now starting to
completely change the future of life on the planet.
Development in society affects dangerously biodiversity.
Perhaps we should understand better the good of biodiversity.
At the ecosystem level, as shown on the folowing table, biodiversity
provides numerous benefits and services to Global Community.
Global Community has also established a planetary biodiversity zone now under the protection of the Global Protection Agency (GPA).
We have declared a moratorium on
all development in the zone.
Benefits of
biodiversity
|
Food security
Biodiversity provides the vast majority of our
food. The annual world fish input is about 100 million metric
tons which represents humanity’s most important source of wild
animal protein. More than 20 per cent of the population in
Africa and Asia are dependent on fish as their primary source of
protein. Land animals supply an array of food products such as
meat, eggs, milk, etc. Wild biodiversity provides a wide variety
of important fruits, honey, game meats, mushrooms, nuts, spices
and flavorings which are all important when agricultural
supplies fail. The productivity of many of the developed world’s
agricultural crops is maintained through the regular
assimilation of new genes from wild relatives of these crops.
These wild genes provide resistance to the pests and diseases
that pose an ever-evolving threat to harvests.
|
|
Medicinal importance to our
health
About 70 per cent of people in the developing
world rely on traditional medicines derived mainly from plants.
In Southeast Asia, for example, traditional healers use some
6,500 different plant species to treat syphilis, malaria,
stomach ulcers, and other diseases. And about 150 prescription
drugs used in the United States, 118 are based on natural
sources and more than half are derived from plants. Microbes and
animal species have been a part of a range of medicines,
including Penicillin and anesthetics. A recent study of cone
snails has been identified a painkiller that is up to a thousand
times more effective than morphine, but without morphine’s
addictive properties.
|
|
Global warming and climate
Several organic matter and plant tissues within
land and ocean ecosystems process carbon, a part of greengases
causing global warming, thus helping to slow the build-up of
atmospheric carbon dioxide, and contributing to climate
stabilization. Moisture released into the atmosphere by
rainforests causes regular rainstorms, limiting water loss from
the region and helping to control surface temperature. In cold
climates forests become windbreakers, helping to mitigate the
impacts of freezing temperatures and lost of top soil by blowing
wind.
|
|
Global economy
Biodiversity is a direct source of incomes and
economic development. Natural pesticides, anti-fungal toxins,
oil-eating enzymes, waxes, fibres, aromatics, fuels, resins,
dyes and gums are a few examples of a long list of goods
provided by biodiversity. Ecotourism and people taking
nature-related holidays are creating thousands of jobs and
adding a substantial input to the global economy.
|
|
Soils maintenance
Microbial and animal species such bacteria,
fungi, worms, algae, mites, millipedes help condition soils,
break down organic matter, and release essential nutrients to
plants. These processes are the source of the cycling of
nitrogen, carbon and phosphorous between the living and
non-living parts of the biosphere.
|
|
Water quality and
photosysmthesis
Wetland ecosystems (swamps, marshes, etc.)
absorb and recycle essential nutrients, treat sewage, and
cleanse wastes. In estuaries, molluscs remove nutrients from the
water, thus preventing nutrient over-enrichment and
eutrophication arising from fertilizer run-off. Trees and forest
soils purify water as it flows through forest ecosystems. In
preventing soils from being washed away, forests also prevent
the harmful siltation of rivers and reservoirs that may arise
from erosion and landslides.
|
|
Air quality
Plant species, especially forests, purify the
air, regulate the composition of the atmosphere, recycle vital
oxygen and filter harmful particles resulting from industrial
activities.
|
|
Decrease the impacts of natural
disasters
The action of roots of forests and grasslands
protect land against erosion, nutrient loss, and landslides.
Ecosystems found in floodplain forests and wetlands help absorb
excess water and thus reduce the damage caused by floods.
Certain coastal ecosystems such as salt marshes and mangrove
forests prevent the erosion of coastlines.
|
|
Natural pollination of plants and
crops
Various animal species such as birds, bees,
butterflies, and bats, pollinate flowering plants and thus help
them reproduce. Over one-third of humanity’s food crops depend
on this process. The dispersal of seeds by many animal species
also help in plant reproduction.
|
|
Processing of wastes
Over 150 billion metric tons of organic and
chemical waste are being processed every year by earth’s
decomposing organisms, including wastes such as oils,
detergents, acids, and paper. In soils, the end product of these
processes is returned to plants as nutrients. Plants can also
serve to remove harmful substances from groundwater.
|
|
Managing pest in crops
About 98 per cent of potential crop pests are
controlled by a variety of organisms such as birds, insects, and
fungi. These natural pesticides are in many ways superior to
their artificial equivalents, since pests can often develop
resistance to chemical controls.
|
|
Spiritual / cultural value
Our emotional wellbeing is enhanced by the
proximity of natural beauty. The symbiotical relationship
between humanity and biodiversity is reflected in the art,
religions and traditions of diverse human cultures: a spiritual
heritage that will be lost for all time if its basis – nature
itself – continues to be
destroyed.
|
During the
last century, the lost of biodiversity has been increasingly observed.
About one eighth known plant species is threatened with extinction and
this is a loss of about 140,000 species per year.
Our rapid
human population expansion, need, greed, and ignorance, have caused
alarming destruction of the Earth's living resources. As a result,
thousands of life forms have been threatened, endangered, or extinct.
At current rate of destruction over 50% of species of life forms will
be wiped out within 50 years seriously compromising the integrity of
life on Earth. In fact, this magnitude of destruction will have
unknown consequences with respect to the food supply, environment,
climate, and the overall well being of the planet.
Human
activities are responsible for most of the species extinctions, in
particular destruction of plant and animal habitats, often being
driven by human consumption of organic resources. When they are not
food species, their biomass is converted into human food, and their
habitat is transformed into pasture, cropland, and orchards. The
ecosystem decreases in stability as its species are made extinct and
the global ecosystem is destined for collapse. Significant factors
contributing to loss of biodiversity are: deforestation,
overpopulation, pollution ( water pollution, air pollution, soil
contamination), global warming, and climate change.
Actions
that affect the stability and health of Global Community and its
ecosystems need to be identified and publicly condemned. Among the
most destructive of human activities are militarism and its gross
expenditures, the mining of toxic materials, the manufacture of
biological poisons in all forms, industrial farming, industrial
fishing, and industrial forestry. Destructive technologies such as
these, justified as necessary for protecting specific human
populations, enriching special corporate interests, and satisfying
human wants rather than needs, will lead to evergreater ecological and
social disasters.
V. Moratorium on all development within the planetary biodiversity zone
The more detailed planetary biodiversity zone in the
North Pole region was declared a few years ago to prevent further
drilling and development until proper regulations and protection have
been established. This would prevent the kind of catastrophic event that
occurred in the Gulf of Mexico.
The people of all nations are
required to respect the moratorium until global law has been completed
to include regulations to be enforced by the GPA.
Global Community believes that to protect this ecosystem, industrial activity both inside and outside the planetary biodiversity zone must be carefully regulated.
Large reserves able to maintain their ecological integrity must be adequately set aside and thorough environmental assessments must be carried out before
governments decide to allow any sort of large-scale industrial activity.
What we must do to protect life and create a planetary biodiversity zone
| Respect the moratorium on all development in the zone
Global Community has declared a moratorium on
all development in the zone, including all drilling, military testing, and any other destructive uses of the ecosystems.
The planetary biodiversity zone includes :
- North Pole region
- South Pole region
- all oceans
- all forests
- all lakes
- all rivers and connecting streams
- all wetlands and grasslands
- living organisms and ecosystems in all of the above
The people of all nations are required to respect the moratorium until global law
has been completed to include regulations to be enforced by the GPA.
|
| Reduce human population size
A primary cause of ecosystem destruction and species
extinctions is the human overpopulation that already
far exceeds ecologically sustainable levels. Total
world population, now at 6.7 billion, is inexorably climbing
by 75 million a year. Every additional human is an
environmental “user” on a planet whose capacity to provide
for all its creatures is size-limited. In all lands the
pressure of numbers continues to undermine the integrity
and generative functioning of terrestrial, fresh water,
and marine ecosystems. Our human monoculture is
overwhelming and destroying Nature’s polycultures.
Country by country, world population size must be reduced
by reducing conceptions. |
| Educate our children on the ethics that value life species
Educate our childrenn on the ethics that value life species over consuming resources without restraint, and condemn the social acceptance of unlimited
human fecundity. Present need to reduce numbers is greatest
in wealthy countries where per capita use of energy and
Earth materials is highest. A reasonable objective is the reduction
to population levels as they were before the widespread
use of fossil fuels; that is, to one billion or less. This
will be accomplished either by intelligent policies or inevitably
by plague, famine, and warfare. |
| Ban overconsumption of Earth resources
The greatest threat to the planetary biodiversity zone is the ever-increasing appropriation of the
planet’s goods for exclusive human uses. Such appropriation
and over-use, often justified by population overgrowth,
steals the livelihood of other organisms. The
selfish view that humans have the right to
all ecosystem components – air, land, water, organisms
– is morally reprehensible. It is wrong. Global Rights
were researched and developed for all life on our planet, not just for ourselves as human beings.
Unlike plants, we must kill to feed,
clothe and shelter ourselves, but this is no license to plunder
and exterminate. The accelerating consumption of
Earth’s vital parts is a recipe for destruction of
ecodiversity and biodiversity. Wealthy nations armed with
powerful technology are the chief offenders, best able to
reduce consumption and share with those whose living
standards are lowest, but no nation is blameless.
The eternal growth ideology of the market, and Wall Street, must be renounced,
as well as the perverse industrial and economic
policies based on it.
One rational step toward curbing exploitive economic expansion
is the ending of public subsidies to those industries
that pollute air, land or water and/or destroy organisms
and soils. A philosophy of symbiosis, of living compliantly
as a member of Earth’s communities, will ensure
the restoration of productive ecosystems. |
| Promote global governance
Concepts of governance that encourage
over-exploitation and destruction of Earth’s ecosystems
must be replaced by those beneficial to the survival and
integrity of Global Community. Everyone is asked to help.
A body of environmental law and regulations that confers legal standing
on Global Community’s vital structures and functions is required.
Country by country, ecologically responsible
people must be elected or appointed to governing bodies.
Appropriate attorney-guardians will act as defendants
when ecosystems and their fundamental processes are
threatened. Issues will be settled on the basis of preserving
ecosystem integrity, not on preserving economic
gain. Over time, new bodies of global law, policy, and administration
will emerge as embodiments of the 21st Century life philosophy of Global Community.
Implementation will be the work of the Global protection Agency (GPA). |
| Education and leadership are needed
We all have a duty to spread the word by education and leadership.
The initial urgent task is to awaken all people
to their functional dependence on Earth’s ecosystems,
as well as to their bonds with other species. We must all participate in Earth-wise global community
activities, each playing a personal part in sustaining
the marvelous surrounding reality. By promoting a
quest for abiding values – a culture of compliance and
symbiosis with our living planet – it fosters a
unifying outlook. By spreading the ecological message and
emphasizing humanity’s shared outer reality, will open
a new and promising path toward international understanding, harmony,
cooperation, stability, and peace. |
VI. Preventive actions against polluters
Individuals, too, can help bring about a world that is more secure and more supportive of life, health and happiness. They
can educate themselves on population dynamics, consumption patterns
and the impact of these forces on natural resources and the environment. They can be socially, politically and culturally active to elevate
the issues they care about. They can become more environmentally responsible in their purchasing
decisions and their use of energy and natural resources. And individuals and couples can consider the impacts
of their reproductive decisions on their communities and the world as a whole.
What is needed is for government and the private sector to make reproductive health services available to all who seek them, to
make sure that girls and boys can go to and stay in school, and to make economic opportunities as accessible to women as to men.
Combined with improved energy and natural-resource technologies and saner models of consumption and the “good life,”
these strategies can bring humanity into enduring balance with the environment and the natural resources that people will always need.
Nationalization of natural resources
As defined by Global Community, the 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. Only 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 and to Wall Street. You own property because the previous owners could not pay. Use that property, share it or lose it. Global Community stipulates that land ownership is no longer a problem because 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 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,
fossil fuels, water, electromagnetic spectrum, the trees, fish in the seas and rivers. It is unjust to treat land as private property. It is unjust to treat land as private property. Land is not a product of labour. Everyone should therefore be given equal access to such natural resources.
In order to better protect life on our planet, Global Community is asking people of all nations to defend and protect their natural resources. In particular, all the hydrocarbons within a national territory must be nationalized. It is an obligation, not only of a national government, but also of all the active forces in a country; it is the duty of local and municipal authorities, the duty of state authorities, of everyone, to take upon themselves this defense and this recuperation of natural resources.
Nationalization is a necessity because American corporations have been buying local corporations to acquire natural resources of a country. This state of affairs has been going on ever since WWII. Over the past decades, the US national debt and annual deficit have been out-of-control because of a complete business freedom of the US corporate world. No taxation! When a large corporation is about to go out of business, the White House intervened with a bail out. This bail out money is really fake money coming out of nowhere. It was never "earned" money. The USA Government prints out dollar bills by the trillions and gives them to American corporations and banks so they can buy corporations, properties, resources and land of other nations all over the world. They call that economic warfare and free trade.
Global Protection Agency will
enforce Global Law. And that is a long term solution to the planetary state of
emergency. And that is also how we can solve global problems facing this
generation, thus largely improving the quality of life of the next
generations, and that is how we will bring about the event of peace amongst us
all.
In order to create a harmonious and compassionate Global Community I ask everyone to comply with Global Law.
God Law, Ecclesiastical Teaching, Civic Law by Government, Natural Processes and Laws, are fundamental pillars of Global Law. I have shown that the building of global communities required a mean to enforce Global Law for the protection of life on Earth. This is a great opportunity for globallateralism.
Global Law includes legislation covering all aspects of human activities.
The GPA will enforce the law. And that is the third option we offer 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.

Global Law
Artwork by Germain Dufour
June, 2010
God Law, Ecclesiastical Teaching, Civic Law by Government, Natural Processes and Laws, are fundamental pillars of Global Law.
The work of Global Community, the global civil society, and the determination of government worldwide, make it possible for everyone to comply with the law.
The Global Protection Agency (GPA) enforces the law.

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 Global Community.
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.
Global Law includes legislation covering all aspects of human activities.
Global Protection Agency will train and lead a global force, bypassing traditional peacekeeping and military bodies such as the United Nations and NATO.
This is a great opportunity for globallateralism.
The Global Protection Agency (GPA) is leading a group of people in the world who participate in:
a) peacekeeping or 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 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.
The dollar fine is to be administered by Global Parliament.
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.
Global Community has made clear that globalization and planetary trading blocks should be serving the Human Family and not the other way around,
the people around the world serving the very few rich individuals. Conflicts and wars in the world are often the results of bad trading of
arms and oil and the absence of moral responsibility and accountability in our ways of doing business with nations such as those of the Middle East.
By applying proper moral safeguards, ethics, and accepting responsibility and accountability of all products (arms and oil in this case),
from beginning to end where they become wastes, each corporation would make free trade and globalization serving the Human Family.
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
Global Community.
When you do exploration work, 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.
To act as a global policing force, as the GPA aspires to do, many foundations must be laid, especially regarding the move from wielding power derived from
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 GPA’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 an enforcer of global law.
Global Community offers a few recommendations for actions that would strengthen and legitimate the GPA’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.
VIII. Conclusion
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.
Our world is facing crises of freshwater, food, deforestation, ocean health, and destruction of the global life-support systems. We need leadership in the protection of all our natural resources, in peril because of what we do and what that does to our planet. We are facing a fresh water crisis. We are facing a food crisis. We are facing a crisis over deforestation. And we are facing crises in our oceans. While carbon emissions from fossil fuels pollute the air, land and our oceans, we are facing the climate change crisis. Now is the time to press for leadership.
Those who fight to protect life on Earth for this generation and the next ones are the defenders of the environment and the global life-support systems. They know who the beasts are, the planarchists , and how they destroy the living on our planet. They have rallied together all over the world to protect our home, Earth. We know it all! We know how everything works. And we will do whatever it takes to protect life on Earth.
We need ways of organizing ourselves to help us live in a world with less energy and to grow strong caring communities in which we get more of our human satisfaction from caring relationships and less from material goods. We need to reclaim the ideal of being a democratic middle-class people without extremes of wealth and poverty. We need to recover a deep sense of community that has disappeared from many of our lives. This means letting go a sense of ourselves as consumption machines.
The lives of all lifeforms and plants on our planet deserve protection, preservation, and care. Global Community disapproves of the limitless exploitation of the natural foundations of life, the relentless destruction of the biosphere, and the militarization of the space within and above the Earth's atmosphere. Global citizens must live in harmony with nature on and above the Earth's surface. This can be achieved within Global Community vision for protecting all life on our planet by:
A) Seeing the world today, Global Community claims that each of us depends on the well-being
of the whole.
And so global citizens have respect for the community of living beings, people and other lifeforms, and plants, and for the preservation of Earth, air, water and soil.
B) Humanity is the planet's keepers. Every global citizen is a Life's protector.
Global Community concepts , ethics and approaches to humanity's survival are urgently needed today.
C) Global Community claims that all lifeforms are important and included as part of global ethics.
It is not just about 'humanity survival' but about 'all lifeforms survival' we are fighting for. The lives of all lifeforms and plants on our planet deserve protection, preservation, and care. Global Community disapproves of the limitless exploitation of the natural foundations of life, the relentless destruction of the biosphere, and the militarization of the space within and above the Earth's atmosphere. Global citizens must live in harmony with nature on and above the Earth's surface.
D) Symbiotical relationships are needed today for the long term future of humanity and for the protection of Life on Earth.
In our global civilization, the fundamental criteria of a symbiotical relationship between individuals and their communities 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.
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? Global Community promotes 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.
E) Economic and political power must be used as a service
to humanity instead of misusing it in ruthless battles for
domination.
Global Community faith can help to develop a spirit of compassion with those who suffer, with special care for the children, the aged, the
poor, the disabled, and the refugees.
F) "We the Peoples", Global Community, will protect life on Earth at all costs.
We need ways of organizing ourselves to help us live in a world with less energy and grow strong caring communities in which we get more of our human satisfaction from caring relationships and less from material goods. We need to reclaim the ideal of being a democratic middle-class people without extremes of wealth and poverty. We need to recover a deep sense of community that has disappeared from many of our lives. This means letting go a sense of ourselves as consumption machines.
G) Global Community ethics
Global Community ethics have established that the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people is a measure of right and wrong. What matters is the combined positive effect of everyone and not only of any one person (or the wealthy 1% in our society). Global Community ethics are meant to save humanity, all lifeforms on Earth, from extinction, and includes a process based on the Scale of Global Rights which describes social values in order of importance to help us understand clearly the rights of a community and its citizens. Global citizens have a binding responsibility for the welfare of all humanity and care for all life on Earth.
Global Community ethics are about how we treat others and a commitment to respect every person humanely and with dignity. For this process to work, global citizens learn to forgive, be patient and compassionate, promote acceptance, open theirs hearts to one another, and practice a culture of solidarity and cooperation. Let go narrow differences for the greater good of humanity and future generations.
Obviously the Golden Rule can be only integrated 'softly' within Global Community ethics as global ethics require breaking many rules and morality standards, including human rights. It is Global Community challenge to develop ethics, moral directives, that can be acceptable to all Peoples for the survival of all life on our planet, and that will require sacrifices from us all.
Let us remember over and over again that our primary goal and the most important principle on the Scale of Global Rights is the survival of all Life on Earth.
H) Global Community faith 
Global Community faith is helping, along with the various communities of faith, to
formulate their very specific ethics about the meaning of life and
death, the enduring of suffering and the forgiveness of guilt,
about selfless sacrifice and the necessity of renunciation, about
compassion and joy.
I) Education
The lives of all lifeforms and plants on our planet deserve protection, preservation, and care. Global Community disapproves of the limitless exploitation of the natural foundations of life, the relentless destruction of the biosphere, and the militarization of the space within and above the Earth's atmosphere. Global citizens must live in harmony with nature on and above the Earth's surface.
A major worldwide education program must be organized and coordinated in all nations to educate people on the thousands of ways to protect life on our planet.
J) Global Community has
developed a mean to measure the amount of destruction cause by human activities.
Not by Nature! But by human
activities! Why is that important? It is important because there are human activities going on in every part of the
world. And the world, our planet, can only be pushed to its limits by so much destruction before everyone on the
planet suffer extinction. Life extinction! So Global Community has proposed a way to measure human activities of
all types and show how important and destructive consequences may be. Global Community already has researched and
developed the Scale of Global Rights for people to live by. The Scale tells you what is the most important, and
what is the least important for the survival of our species. By accepting the Scale as our first principle,
many activities would not be conducted as we would know their destructive effects. Well! That is the idea!
We applied here the above principle and conducted measurements on the actual consequences of the activitiy concerning the production, transportation and burning of the dirty tar sands oil of Alberta, Canada. Of course we deal here with actual facts and events and not on what people are saying in the Media.
After all of the dirty tar sands oil has been used up, the amounts of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere will bring about the end of all civilizations on Earth. And that is a fact!
Global Community believes that to protect this ecosystem, industrial activity both inside and outside the planetary biodiversity zone must be carefully regulated.
Large reserves able to maintain their ecological integrity must be adequately set aside and thorough environmental assessments must be carried out before
governments decide to allow any sort of large-scale industrial activity.
Actions
that affect the stability and health of Global Community and its
ecosystems need to be identified and publicly condemned. Among the
most destructive of human activities are militarism and its gross
expenditures, the mining of toxic materials, the manufacture of
biological poisons in all forms, industrial farming, industrial
fishing, and industrial forestry. Destructive technologies such as
these, justified as necessary for protecting specific human
populations, enriching special corporate interests, and satisfying
human wants rather than needs, will lead to evergreater ecological and
social disasters.
It is time for global citizens to come to terms with reality. We need ways of
organizing ourselves to help us live in a world with less energy and
fewer material goods. We need to recover a deep sense of community that
has disappeared from many of our lives. The World is in the global
crisis. We are exploiting our natural resources, minerals and fuels
faster than we are gaining access to alternative sources. We are
polluting the natural environment faster than the environment can
regenerate itself to reach the level suitable for human needs. We are
changing climate dangerously. Our attitude and way of life show a moral
degradation of the existing forms of life on the planet. It's time for
us to protect what is left to protect: life itself on Earth. This is the
reason for the creation of a planetary biodiversity zone. In this report
we have shown the benefits of biodiversity to humanity and hope this
approach will motivate others to help create the zone.
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. 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 Human and Earth 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 Human and Earth Rights. Without a shelter life will still exist in some places but is not possible in cold place.
Seeing the world today, Global Community claims that each of us depends on the well-being of the whole, and so global citizens have respect for the community of living beings, people and all other lifeforms, and plants, and for the preservation of Earth, air, water and soil. And that explains why the protection of the global life-support systems is the most important right on the Scale of Global Rights. Without this right there would be no life on our planet.
The GPA 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.
