Our Vision

The need
There is a need for all caring humans to design and build a positive alternative to current world power architecture.

There is a need for all caring humans to create a durable system of human global governance. Such system should be based on the most globally shared ethical values, explicit expression of the citizens' will.

There is a certain urgency to achieve this goal because of serious risks to the survival of humanity posed by the use of weapons of mass destruction.

There is a certain urgency to achieve this goal to counter the risks of a further degeneration of global human conditions through the fashioning of some durable form of inhumane global governance.

 

Benefits
The creation of such system of global governance would be extremely desirable, reasonably feasible, and crucial to ensure humanity's survival.

The creation of such system of global governance, would substantially improve the prospects for current and future generations in respect to nuclear safety, peace, economic justice, individual freedom, collective freedom, environmental health, global livelihood, intercultural understanding, rights to information and cultural diversity.

 

The project
Such system should be realized through an acceleration of global constituent processes involving world citizens themselves and a number of legitimate global social actors.

Such processes will have, as their final objective, the Constitution of a Re-constituent Assembly of United Nations that defines and implements a new power architecture, global governance and institutions.

It is to be hoped that such processes will eventually be officially endorsed by UN, through specific amendments of art. 108/109 of its Statute. This option, however, is reasonably unlikely, because of UN's charter's own internal dynamics.

World citizens, as individuals and as represented in democratic global social actors, should have transnational organizations and networks of: directly elected world citizens' representatives; statistically sampled world citizens; citizen groups; NGOs; religious groups; national parliamentarians; national trade unions; non-profit organizations; constitutional scholars; heads of state; UN-system democratic bodies; religious leaders; intellectuals, academics, former heads of state; opinion leaders and others.

Transnational corporations, media companies, rich countries and military powers, however, already possess a disproportionate power to influence such process. This power should be acknowledged and actively counterbalanced.

Such system should have the moral duty towards future generations to prevent all potential self - degenerations. Because of that, Statutes of these systems should affirm procedures that allow world citizens to make total revisions of the entire system.

 

Its feasibility
Nowadays humanity has all which is necessary to successfully pursue this task within one generation, provided that an adequate set of world citizens will soon develop the will and determination to make it happen.
This task is not in nature and complexity substantially different from similar past constituent processes that have successfully created some of today's national democracies.
