In a
note in the One World Digest of October 20, there was talk of a
"Three Seas Initiative" of Eastern European member states
of the European Union. Without commenting on the political goals of
the initiative, I have taken the liberty of picking up the symbolic
way of naming it by the "three seas". Freely based on the
motto "It's time for visions" a "Three Oceans
Initiative" came to my
mind.
This
is not about the political perspectives of a limited region, but
about global problems for which global solutions are urgently needed.
For this we need the unification of mankind, preferably in a federal World Union.
Today is
United Nations Day. The UN Charter came into force 75 years ago. On
this anniversary there were many expectations and hopes, many
promises were made. However, it does not look as if anything
significant will change in this system in the foreseeable future. And
the San Francisco Promise is still waiting to be
fulfilled.
Just
as the 12 states of the Three Seas Initiative want to shorten the EU
administration, which is too reserved for their purposes, one could
also imagine a Three Oceans Initiative within the UN. An initiative
of nations on all three oceans of the world who are in favor of a
reformed UN as we need
it.
Since
it is currently unlikely that the major powers or one of the leading
industrialized countries will be interested, I would like to return
to our contribution from December 2019: Start the World Union
small. The first step would be to find states that would be suitable
for
it.
I
would like to reiterate the mondialists' proposal for a Model World
Federation. Unfortunately, the modest beginning of the project had
run into sand. The world federalist groups I know of found no
interest, so the matter was put on ice for the time being. Perhaps
the plan is unrealistic. But there was no criticism either. Maybe I
just approached the wrong
people.
For such a
project you need a serious organization that is able to develop a
strategy and put it into action. Active groups of supporters must be
built up in the countries in question, which reach the national
political levels. This would of course also be an opportunity to give
more attention to world federalism in general.
If
it were possible to start a World Federation on a small scale, a
beginning would be made and the World Federation would be a reality.
In it World Citizens could be actual World Citizens who also possess
a valid World Passport. There would be elections for a World
Parliament and the World Union could give itself a World
Constitution. Then the United Nations would have a strong Avantgarde,
which would be able to eliminate the outdated structures for the
benefit of all mankind and to create a binding, solidary world
community.
Perhaps the World Federalist Movement – if it
really exists – after the disillusions of this year and the
hopefully soon abating Coronavirus Pandemic will find the will and
the strength to start such a Three Oceans Initiative.
