\"\"<\/a>25 Jun 2026 –<\/em>\u00a0There is one word<\/em> that explains why nuclear disarmament conferences have failed:\u00a0DISTRUST.<\/p>\n

I came to this conclusion while studying reports from the recent “Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons”\u00a0(NPT) Review Conference.\u00a0These conferences have been held since 1970 but with no success.<\/em> The situation is so bad that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres lamented on April 27th that “Arms control is dying.”<\/p>\n

Reporter Damilola Banjo for Pass Blue wrote that a recurring problem is that “There has been little to no trust among those countries to even think of debating a consensus agreement…” “Mistrust rules the day.”<\/p>\n

With the current United Nations, each nation has an absolute sovereign right to conduct its military affairs in secret.\u00a0The problem is that secrecy breeds paranoia. The result?\u00a0Nations distrust each other and refuse to disarm.<\/p>\n

The solution: Trust but verify (as said by President Ronald Reagan).\u00a0There must be open inspections everywhere in all countries, with no exceptions.\u00a0But the UN Charter’s right to (absolute) sovereignty is a poison pill for nuclear disarmament.<\/p>\n

Removing paranoia and building trust can be accomplished by converting from the UN confederation to a democratic world federal governing system.<\/em>\u00a0The US founders abandoned the Articles of Confederation and replaced it with the US Federal Constitution to stop the growing conflicts between the 13 colonies. The 194 separately armed nation-states should do the same.<\/p>\n

History shows paranoia is understandable for the simple fact that invariably somewhere there is a psychopath ruling a nation, and that nation can’t be trusted. Psychopaths lack conscience, lie, and are capable of mass murder to control others, doing so without remorse.\u00a0The UN is hampered by the fact that there is no sheriff in town at the global level.<\/p>\n

Building world union and trust can be accomplished if the world community and the nations begin to support the blueprint given us by the Earth Constitution<\/em>, its emerging World Parliament, and Earth Federation government (a “new UN”).<\/p>\n
