The
World Citizens Parliament met on October 11 and 12, 2012 with unanimous
agreement on the core Principle of the sovereignty of the people of the
world with a sovereign right to Decree the Abolition of War, and to initiate five Popular Initiatives.
The
initiatives, titled "New World Legislation", present five World Laws
outlining the following areas of concern: (1) The eradication of
poverty, (2) to insure full access to knowledge including free Internet
for all, (3) to protect the rights of Mother
Nature, (4) grant the right to a job and to freedom of movement, and 5)
to fully realize human rights as found in the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights.
The Parliament's "Considerations"
The analysis of why war must be abolished went under the heading of "considerations," and looked as follows:
1. In consideration
that war destroys human beings and the environment, divides and erodes
the social tissue causing death and destruction of millions and millions
of human beings and other living beings on the planet Earth,
2. In consideration
that the war is beig business for the intersts of great powers, with
the complicity of the World Bank and big transnational corporations of
the so-called military industrial complex at the global scale,
...In consideration that
science and technology has facilitated mutual understanding between
countries,...that the Earth is our only home and (therefore) today there
no longer exists any justification for the war amongst humans...In consideration
that it is a myth of the need to spend trillions of dollars of material
and financial resources...allocated to the industry of war...In
consideration that we citizens of the world are aware of our need to
live in peace...seeking the common good for a better world for future
generations,
Reaffirm as citizens of the world that with this
DECREE war has been prohibited...based upon the exercise of the
sovereign right that emanates from the essential Principle of the
sovereignty of the people of the world.
In short, the
Parliament provides a basic legal and moral rationale for the right to
prohibit war. The Parliament issued a Protocol which is open for the
signature and ratification for all world citizens and for all social
networks adhering to the DECREE.
"New World Legislation"
Another
step taken by this Forum for the First Stage of the World Citizen's
Parliament was to approve five world laws which are introduced as "New
World Legislation" with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the
overall guideline.
World laws were outlined for the (1)
worldwide eradication of poverty, (2) open access to knowledge and free
basic education, (3) protection of the rights of Mother Nature, (4)
right to equal opportunities to access a dignified occupation with
freedom of movement, and (5) possibility to fully realize human rights
in compliance with Article 28 [Universal Declaration of Human Rights].
