The Historic Necessity For a New World Government Now

 

An Open Letter Changes The Course of History

This Open Letter by Dr. Rath in the New York Times of June 30, 2004, has become one of the most important and influential public statements in the history of the United Nations. With the decision on June 8, 2004, the small elite of nations constituting the Security Council apparently thought that they could ignore the UN Charter and pretend to continue ‘business as usual.’

The adjacent Open Letter drew the attention of the world to the unacceptable fact that with this fateful decision, the UN Charter, the entire framework of international law and the basis for the UN’s very existence were irreversibly destroyed.

The fact that this Open Letter was reprinted in leading newspapers of more than twenty countries and in countless other media documents that the entire world is aware of the fact that the UN not only had destroyed its Charter but also its credibility. In the past weeks, there has hardly been any government, international corporation, organization or university that has not been contacting our foundation through the Internet for more information on alternatives.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan grossly underestimated the impact of this Open Letter. He embarked on a whirlwind trip around the world trying to appease the outrage especially in the developing countries. At the opening of the Panafrican Parliament in August, he promised a ‘green revolution’ for Africa, and a few weeks later at the International AIDS-Conference in Bangkok, he announced pharmaceutical AIDS-drugs for all. And no one seemed to bother that Annan’s closest economic advisor at both events, Jeffrey Sachs, is also an advisor to pharmaceutical giant Novartis and the international drug cartel.

The World Asks Kofi Annan

On September 15, 2004, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, could no longer put the finger in the dam. He announced on BBC that the war against Iraq was illegal. The entire world asks Kofi Annan:

  • Why did you not speak up publicly in March 2003, before the illegal attack war on Iraq was launched by perpetrators in the US and the UK government? Why did you not resign immediately in protest, at a time when your voice could have made a difference in world affairs?
  • Why did you not oppose the fatal decision on June 8, 2004, knowing well that this decision abolishes the UN Charter?
  • Why did Dr. Rath and the people of the world have to force you from outside the United Nations to finally state publicly that this war was illegal? Why did your statement come so late, 16 months after this war was declared over by those whom you logically and correctly should have identified as criminals who launched an illegal attack war?

Today, you face the consequences of your silence:

The 59th General Assembly has become the funeral session of the United Nations. Once before, a world parliament – the League of Nations – had committed suicide coerced by the corporate interests behind the Nazis and in the wake of WW II.

Worse, during the opening session of this General Assembly,’ George Bush, the main perpetrator who coerced the UN’s suicide, was even invited to give a ‘funeral address.’ And you knew that he had already announced to commit more crimes by threatening illegal attack wars against Iran and any other nation or territory desired by the corporate interests he represents.

Why the UN Cannot Be ‘Reformed’ or Repaired

In the meantime, the UN Secretary General and the Members of the small elite in the Security Council are apparently aware of the damage they have done to the UN and to all mankind by robbing them of the only international body capable of protecting international peace and security. They also realized that the collective decision of June 8, 2004, has not only irreversibly destroyed the UN Charter but also the credibility of the UN in the world.

In order to cover up their collective guilt, Kofi Annan and members of the Security Council are creating a huge smoke screen of promises for ‘reforms’ and ‘changes’ within the UN. They have to come to grips that the United Nations and its Charter is dead and that any effort to ‘reform’ this dead body is as if a physician would try to resuscitate a corpse.

Germany’s Foreign Minister Fischer plays a particularly malicious role. Not only did he vote for this fateful decision that destroyed the UN Charter, but he unscrupulously abused the ensuing crisis to claim a seat for Germany as a permanent member of the Security Council. Rejected by others, Fischer twisted the arms of some threshold countries including Brazil and India to back his plan. Does he really believe that he can sell a ‘reform’ which replaces an elite club with a slightly larger elite to the world community as a reform of the UN?

The governments of Brazil and India have to decide whether they will allow to be abused as fig leaves by an elite or whether they continue to be leaders of the developing world towards a new world body based on the principle of equal rights for all countries. For more than 150 countries, any ‘reform’ of the UN is nothing but an illusion – they would be left out of any decision taking for generations to come.

Alliance of Nations – The Time to Act is Now

The governments of the world, especially the more than one hundred developing countries, now have to decide. Either they continue to allow themselves and their people to be economically and militarily abused by corporate interest groups and their political puppets within the UN, or they finally get out of their “wheelchairs” and start building a new world government with equal rights for all nations – large or small.

An international government where the paramount principal of “One Country – One Vote” has been institutionalized, is the recently founded Panafrican Parliament. Within this parliament, countries like Nigeria with a population of 130 million people have the same rights and duties as countries like Cape Verde with a population of less than half a million. Other regional parliaments will adapt the same fundamental principal of equal rights for all nations. A growing cooperation between these regional bodies in the areas of health, energy, trade, science, and others will pave the way towards development of poor nations, reduction of economic dependency and towards a global Alliance of Nations that warrants lasting international peace and security.

No one should be afraid to “get out of the wheelchair”. The scientific technology to immediately terminate any dependency from the economic powers is already available in two key areas: health and energy. On July 1, one day after the publication of the adjacent Open Letter, the New York Times had to report that vitamins are the most effective form to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS. On September 13, Newsweek had to report that hydrogen energy – energy from water – is already being used commercially to fuel cars and provide energy to households. Implementation of these key technologies in the developing countries is a decisive step to end their dependency from corporate colonialism forever.

The time to act is now!

The only way to a world of lasting peace, security and social justice is a new organization shaped by all nations
One Country — One Vote

Why was the ‘UN Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States’ not implemented three decades ago?

On December 12, 1974, the United Nations’ General Assembly passed this important Charter with the overwhelming support of 120 member states. Excerpts of this Charter are documented below. Until now, 30 years later, none of the principles of this Charter has been implemented. They were blocked by a handful of economically powerful nations that sit in the UN Security Council and have increasingly abused the entire United Nations as a tool to impose corporate colonialism worldwide.

Without equal rights and the principle of “One country – one vote” in a world parliament, the more than 100 countries of the developing world will never achieve their right to self determination and never have a chance for real development. If the World Community does not act now and takes decisive steps towards the “Alliance of Nations”, hundreds of millions of people will continue to die from preventable diseases and other direct results of economic dependency and corporate colonialism.
