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.
