I had a dream. I
dreamt of a Universal Conference of living beings somewhere in
Space. I was frantically looking for the representative from Planet
Earth. Alas, I saw that Black Man (not Kofi Annan) with a White Body
in his hand. The poor man was struggling to hold the heavy body. I
wondered why. Then I realized that his trip has been sponsored by
the United Nations. As with all sponsors, it has insisted on him
carrying a logo viz. a white globe, symbolizing White domination.
Whites have failed in nominating one of their own men because the
world is overwhelmingly black or off-white. The least they could do
then was to make his trip miserable. This is much the same as what
is happening now with ‘aids’ flowing in from world bodies like UNO
and World Bank. Soon I was waking up to realize more about the dead
United Nations and the need for a new one. Here is what the Black
Man told me about his own hopes.
League of Nations died when the Second World War started and United
Nations Organization (UNO) is almost dead with the American invasion
of Iraq. The P-5 who lord over all affairs of the world are no more
truly representative of the planet we live in and the lone warlord
in P-5 is blind with unchallenged might. With the growth of media
and democratic values, it is no longer the sole privilege of a few
elected (and un-elected) world leaders to decide on who represents
humanity. Each and every human being has a viewpoint on what is good
for mankind. What is good for governments need not necessarily be
good for humanity. Any world body, if it is to represent the hopes
and aspirations of human beings, must be based on certain
un-negotiable human values. Instead of wasting time in reforming an
outdated system it may be better to re-form the UNO once again based
on the following criteria:
Equal Rights for All Humans
Equal rights for all human beings shall be the sole criterion on
which any credible world body can be formed. I am deliberately
avoiding the word ‘equality’ because it is an unrealistic target.
But assigning equal rights for all members is definitely an
achievable and realistic target for any organization. If it is equal
rights for all human beings, headcount must be the only criterion
for deciding on the world leaders. It may be true that some of the
present leaders were super military powers once (at others expense).
But the most repugnant policies of colonialism and imperialism
practiced by such erstwhile superpowers make them morally
incompetent to lead humanity in any form. The first 15 or 25 of the
most populous nations must form the core council in any world body.
They should take the responsibility and authority to decide on what
is good for mankind. A fixed % of the GDP of all the countries must
form the corpus for the functioning of a re-formed UNO. There must
be more than one general council meeting every year and it must be
mandatory for all the heads of states to attend at least one of
them. All decisions must be made on two-third majority with no veto
power for anyone.
Equality of Nations, Religions and Cultures
Though equality of individuals is an unachievable objective,
equality of man-made entities like nations, religions and cultures
is an achievable target. The re-formed UNO must declare equality
with regard to nations, religions and cultures without any
ambiguity. This is very important because Whites are dominating the
world even after fifty years of UNO. Nations, Religions and Cultures
dominated by the Whites are still dictating the destiny of mankind.
This is unacceptable when we know for sure that they have neither
the natural resources nor talent to do so. Hang over from the
colonial era is still making the Brown and Black bend in front of
the White. In such a scenario, the world body must clarify without
any doubt about the equality of Nations, Religions and Cultures. No
priority, privilege or partiality need to be shown for any
individual in any matter connected with the re-formed UNO. It is
definitely a good idea to have the UNO premises located in one of
the islands not forming part of any nation. This can go a long way
in asserting its independence.
Ban Religious Conversion & Organized Migration
The single most reason for growth of extremism and terrorism is the
organized effort of some religions to convert others into their
fold. Even in this fifty second century after Krishna (twenty first
century after Christ), some people live under the delusion that
theirs is the only way to reach God. Out of this false notion arise
the contempt for other faiths which counter breeds hatred and
violence. The only way to avoid this situation to worsen further is
for the world body to declare their equal respect for all the
existing faiths and newer faiths in the making. Theocratic states
must be discouraged and true secularism must form the basis of every
modern nation. The re-formed UNO must make it unambiguously clear
that it considers all religions as equal and ban all efforts to
convert people from one faith to another as a matter of policy.
Individuals wanting to convert from one religion to another are a
different matter. Nowadays it is few and far between.
Another factor fuelling hatred in the world is the misuse of
migration by organized groups. Instead of allowing the natural
migration of people from one part of the world to another in line
with mutual acceptability, there are highly organized clans in every
nation who plan the migration of their members for eventual take
over of the host country. This must be put an end to if we want to
avoid generation of bad blood among natives and migrants.
Comfort for All, Luxury for None (‘Comfall and Luxnone’)
Meaning and purpose of all world organizations are nullified when we
see the misery in Africa & Asia in stark contrast to the opulence in
Europe & USA. Decades of efforts by all these world bodies have
brought no change to the basic living conditions of the poor and
deprived. In fact in many places the rivalries between the so-called
world leaders have brought in more miseries and loss of lives. If
the re-formed UNO is to be any relevance, it should declare “comfort
for all and luxury for none - comfall and luxnone” as
its motto until basic amenities (drinking water, minimum food,
healthcare and education) are available to all the human beings.
People who spend hundreds of dollars a day can be considered only as
criminals in a planet where more than 75% people do not make even
two dollars a day. International seminars on development and peace
spending millions of dollars are meaningless and the money is better
spent on bringing drinking water to at least one village in Asia or
Africa.
Effective Punishment for Non-Compliance
The past failure of UNO has been essentially due to the absence of
an effective mechanism to implement its decisions. Those who are
refusing to comply with UN resolutions had nothing much to lose.
Embargo and sanctions have failed to bring the erring countries on
their knees. UNO has been found to be completely helpless if the
offender is a powerful nation. All this can change if the
punishments are severe and pre-defined. For any decision that has
been taken with more than two-third majority in the general council,
the punishment for non-compliance shall be complete boycott. No
citizen or goods of the erring country should be allowed to come out
and nothing should go in. The internal pressure that will build up
can bring the defiant countries to the table in no time. The
re-formed UNO can definitely succeed in this if it can act without
fear and prejudice from day one.
