Global Justice and Global Democracy

Our history, as just summarised, has been one of fighting to survive, and so all the emphases has been based on being big, strong and powerful, for it was such people and nations who ruled. Their rule was based on being powerful, not on justice, and so it is hardly surprising that primitive attitudes relating power still linger to this present day. The existing world “order”, to the extent that it exists, is based on the idea that the powerful nations rule, and in reality, they rule in a way to protect their own interests, and justice for the wider community is not really a factor. This is why there is such a strong sense of injustice in the hearts of so many throughout the world. Fortunately, humanity is about to move away from international government based on power, to international government based on justice.

The existing “order” is unjust, undemocratic and disunited. The new Order needs to be exactly the opposite: to be just, democratic and united. On this basis alone can we establish a new World Order.

1) It must be Just, for justice is the prerequisite for unity. Justice leads to unity, and unity leads to peace. If there is no justice, people will fight for it, and that results in war. All inequalities must be abolished, but especially the greatest inequality of all; the inequality of opportunity, the appalling divide between the rich and poor, between the “haves” and the “have nots”. The solution to poverty does not lie in charity, it lies in justice - in an economic system that offers work, stability and wealth to everyone, everywhere. We must all be treated with dignity for we all have equal status. To say each person, gender, race, religion or nation has equal status is not being diplomatic, it is the reality, and to think otherwise is a prejudice, and an injustice. The people of the world need a complete “Package Deal” which offers them work, the right to determine their future politically, and equal status in every way.

2) It must be Democratic, for we all share this tiny planet, it is our home, we all belong here, and we all have an inalienable democratic right, and the responsibility, to determine our own future. All people and all nations, great and small, have the democratic right to be involved in the process of deciding international issues such as preventing war, poverty, unemployment or indeed in anything that effects the international community, and most especially we have the democratic right to establish peace and prosperity for all of mankind.

Global Democracy allows each nation autonomy over its own affairs, while at the same time, joining in a democratic way with the others, through representatives, and together using the process of consultation, to make decisions for the common good. Global Democracy embraces the basic democratic principle of government by the will of the majority of nations. This means that representatives from all of the nations of the world must sit around a table and decide democratically by a simple majority of votes (on a one country one vote basis) to do whatever is necessary for the sake of the common good of all people and nations. It is essential that this body has the authority to make all the necessary decisions that need to be made, and they must have the power to implement them, even if that necessitates the use of force.

3) It must be United. It is the oldest battle cry in the world “united we stand, divided we fall”, and after all, we are all citizens of one sphere, one heavenly body travelling through space, called Planet Earth and we all have the right to be respected and treated as citizens and given equal status. If we are treated this way, we will feel united and be united. It is important to realise the difference between equality and equal status. We are not all the same or equal, China is not equal to Luxembourg, their populations are not equal, their size, their talents are not equal. Neither is superior, inferior or equal to the other, but both these nations and their people must be afforded equal status. For this to happen we need a complete “Package Deal” which offers equal status to every individual and nation, all people must be offered work, a say in how things ought to be, and peace and dignity. When this happens we will all feel and be united and live together as one interconnected people.

There are obvious historic reasons why almost all nations, races, religions and peoples have
considered themselves superior, and therefore it is very understandable that many inequalities exist, it could not but be otherwise considering how mankind has evolved, however, the time has now come for these inequalities and in To have Global Unjustices to go.ity and Peace, the people and governments of the world need to embrace the two fundamental principles of Global Justice and Global Democracy. When we do this, people will not only have the right to work, the right to be cared for, to be educated, the right to be able to move freely from one country to another, these rights will be actualised, they will become the reality, and everyone will actually be working, will actually have sufficient food, will be educated, and will have the means to be able to move and live in peace in any country of the world.

This Global Justice, Democracy and Unity - this Confederation of the Governments of the World is undoubtedly what mankind needs in order to move forward.
