\"\"<\/a><\/em>2 Feb 2023 – <\/em>The Constitution for the Federation of Earth<\/em> (aka Earth Constitution) is a blueprint to build an emerging democratic world federal government — an Earth\u00a0Federation movement led by the\u00a0World\u00a0Constitution\u00a0& Parliament Association (WCPA) to replace the United Nations system stymied with its obsolete and fatally flawed Charter.<\/p>\n

World\u00a0federalists generally agree that\u00a0world\u00a0federal\u00a0government\u00a0is our\u00a0 only\u00a0 realistic\u00a0hope to end wars between nations, or to eliminate weapons of mass destruction.\u00a0Because the United Nations Charter is not a world federal\u00a0 government\u00a0and is not\u00a0constitution-based, it has repeatedly failed in its main purpose — to end war.<\/p>\n

For the reasoning to explain that only world government can save our world I recommend “Einstein on Peace” and “The Psychology of Nuclear Disarmament: Only A Democratic\u00a0 World Federal Union is Realistic” (Academic Council on the UN System, Earth Federation NEWS 2\/2\/21).<\/p>\n

If the UN is unable, or unwilling, to transform itself into a democratic world\u00a0 federation, \u00a0then the WCPA’s\u00a0Earth Federation\/Earth Constitution movement must fill the void. Its strategic advantage is that it need not wait for approval from the nation-states, important as they ultimately will be, to build an alternative \u00a0world \u00a0organization parallel to, but independent of, the United Nations.<\/p>\n

The Earth Federation strategy is far more than an attempt to build a viable \u00a0democratic\u00a0 world federation. Its Earth Constitution is the heart and soul of a new vision for our world, where idealism is encouraged and supported while the path to good government is concrete and practical.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Earth\u00a0Federation’s Provisional\u00a0World\u00a0Parliament outlaws weapons of mass destruction and war itself. There is a brilliantly designed\u00a0World\u00a0Judiciary System with Enforcement powers so that Bully nations whose leaders are responsible for\u00a0world\u00a0crimes are no longer above the Law.<\/p>\n

Professor Glen Martin, a WCPA leader, declares that the\u00a0Earth\u00a0Federation “invites in all and excludes no one.” “It recognizes every human being as a citizen, and invites every nation to be a member, with all the rights, privileges, and benefits that apply under the\u00a0Constitution.”<\/p>\n

Should social activists just keep doing what they’re doing — networking; reacting to this crisis, then that crisis;\u00a0protesting this war, then that war; lamenting loudly over poverty and human rights abuses? Isn\u2019t complaining loudly, but with no permanent solution, a “Sisyphean experience”?<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Earth\u00a0Federation\/Earth\u00a0Constitution\/World\u00a0Parliament strategy could change all of that.<\/p>\n

We’d all like UN reform to succeed. But if the UN remains with its present failed Charter, then it’s just common sense to have a replacement strategy waiting in the wings. Tell the UN General Assembly that the\u00a0Earth\u00a0Constitution\u00a0is ready to go.<\/p>\n
