The Bully Nations: Why the UN Is a Global War System
The United Nations has not been able to prevent wars, eliminate weapons of mass destruction, save the environment, or adequately protect human rights.
In part because the UN was never designed to be a democratic world federation, it has been severely limited in what it can accomplish. The so-called Security Council’s P-5 nations use their undemocratic veto power to allow wars and to block world disarmament and peace.
Because of the defects in the UN Charter, nations in conflict have only war as the final arbiter. Nonviolent resolution of disputes requires a democratically elected world parliament and a well-designed world court system with enforceable world laws. These peaceful methods to resolve conflicts are not available in the present UN geopolitical system which some consider to be a global war system.
Earth Constitution to the rescue
The Earth Constitution (EC) drafted by the World Constitution & Parliament Association (WCPA) is designed to correct the fatal flaws built into the UN Charter, and thereby to provide nonviolent means to resolve conflicts rather than resorting to war as the final arbiter.
The EC goes much further than providing a means to end war and eliminate nuclear weapons. It also provides a governing structure to deal more effectively with environmental problems and human rights issues such as poverty, freedom of speech, and the right to a peaceful and just world.
If the United Nations is unable, or unwilling, to reform itself, the Earth Constitution has been drafted to insure that the urgently needed global system change is possible.
Utilizing the EC, Earth Federation government is being developed as an independent world organization parallel to the UN in the event that the UN continues to be unable or unwilling to do its primary jobs.
Because the UN is undemocratic and lacks enforceable world law, rogue nations routinely violate world law. The criminal leaders of powerful Bully nations know they can violate international law and will never be held accountable –they will never go to jail despite the existence of the UN and the International Criminal Court.
WCPA has been the organizing agent for sessions of the PROVISIONAL WORLD PARLIAMENT (PWP) with the PWP now established enough to organize subsequent sessions of the PWP, plan a world constituent assembly, and establish a permanent location site likely in India.
The PWP’s first act under World Law Number One was to Outlaw Nuclear Weapons and Other Weapons of Mass Destruction. The EARTH FEDERATION’S Parliament illustrates in its first legislative Act the immediate benefit of a federation under a well-written world constitution.
