WARS, CHANGES AND THE UN

WARS, CHANGES AND THE UN

Introduction

In my speech on the subject of the Reform of the UN Charter at the 24th Conferences of Chiefs of Justice of the world, held in Lucknow, India, I defended the UN and its constitutional tripod, assisted, observed and exposed under the mediation of the Honorable Judge Moses Cuthbert Bhekl Maphalata, President of the Supreme Court of Judicature.

And so I proceeded considering:

1. That this UN constitutional tripod – Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Convention on the Rights of the Child – refers exactly to the link between citizenship, identity and human dignity, national sovereignty and the State of Justice and Universal Law of the Earth ( Planet).

2. That the protection of this constitutional tripod is the priority function of the International Court of Justice and of all heads of justice worldwide from that point on in history.

Because, in practice, this is the constitutional tripod that underpins the ICJ's real jurisprudence in view of the current and urgent need for a sustainable State of Peace, Justice, Security and Common Development in the dimension of human and non-human, planetary and interplanetary of relations.

And, as a highlight, I presented two essential observations:

1. That the “reform of the Charter of the United Nations” is not a logical or positive possibility – the improvement of its study and action in its direction will be positive. .

Because the letter itself is not a problem for peace, security and the SDGs on and off the planet.

2. That the constituting bodies of the UN system represent the codification (DNA) of the State and World Justice

In this article I highlight the issue of establishing unity between the Security Council, the General Secretariat and the UN ICJ on the ordering of the UN's sense of direction in relation to its constitutional mission in all its organs and in its relations with the type of citizenship you intend to represent.

In this case, considering that this unit is fundamental for the maintenance, survival and development of the UN's potential action to carry out its mission and operationalize the effectiveness of the Security Council. Without this, from my point of view none of these bodies can operate effectively in the face of national divisions and international and interplanetary relations.

The potentiation of the UN

Leveraging the UN means achieving two concrete objectives:

1. The elimination of the risk of the organization ending up like the League of Nations and,

2. The guarantee of its capacity to establish a State of Government, Security and peace for the Planet and for all its diversity of life, governments and nations... Because the UN is not a world government state. It is the constituent element the Multinational  Government  of the planetary state supranational the Earth , .

And, in this case, the greatest resource that the organization can obtain is not economic-financial, given that their unconditional support must come from to its different Member of national States and of all their ancient and emergentstraditions

In practice, the greatest resource that the organization can and should obtain is its cultural legitimacy as a fundamental basis for its political legitimacy already obtained and its sustainability within the population and cultural divisions of the planet it represents inside and outside the terrestrial space with the citizen of the planetary world of Earth.

And, certainly, the relationship between its cultural legitimation is not linked to the negotiating power relative to the GDP of the member nations or their variable and changing of market divisions of competition and human and non-human natural resources – although it is part of this process as a regulatory source. of the interests and disciplines of civilizations.

Summary of the Historical Context of the Two Wars

To clarify the issue, let's summarize the cultural vision of history between the war and after the world war.

The Second World War occurred due to the consequences of the First World War (1914 to 1918), which led the world to the Second World War and marked the course of human and international relations in the 20th century.

Its positives and negatives are in these elements:

1. The human and government errors and imperfections contained in the Treaty of Versailles that contributed to the rise of Nazism that would result in the Second World War and the rise of the American economy and influence as become Europe's creditor.

2. The emergence of the League of Nations created based on the Fourteen Points raised by the then President of the United States Woodrow Wilson with the mission of guaranteeing world peace within the assumption of the 14th point.

The assumption that the League of Nations should be “a general association of nations, under specific compacts for the purpose of providing mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity, both to large and small States”.

But this president was unable to obtain approval for participation from the United States Congress in the organization and Brazil, the only American country to participate in the process, did not obtain recognition as a representative of America and abandoned the organization in 1926 – the organization being extinguished in 1942, as result. of the second war.

3. The emergence of a new European political division, a new map of the continent based on the creation of several new countries such as Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Austria, Hungary, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia.

4. The change in the social axis of the economy, which now on prioritizing  and promotes the weapons and food industry products, aimed at assistance and exploitation of conflict and protection of war.

5. Protests for female emancipation and the growth of the feminist movement in the face of the industrial exploitation of women for men's work - these redirected to war.

Thus, after a period of 20 years of paralysis and reform of social, economic, military, religious and knowledge direction (from natural to scientific), the Second World War emerged... This marked by three major events:

1.    The two atomic bombs dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, on August 6 and 9, 1945, created as part of the "“Manhattan Project” initiated in 1942 in the race against a possible nuclear weapon resource under construction by Germany Nazi propaganda announced to American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt by Albert Einstein under the information of Leo Szilárd, his co-worker and member of the team that built the first nuclear reactor.

2.    The division between two antagonistic political and economic models: after the defeat of Nazi imperialism – capitalism or liberal democracy, represented by the USA, and communism, represented by the USSR.

3.    The creation of the UN – replacing or improving the League of Nations – as a great effort by Franklin Roosevelt and the allied countries to create a more advanced and integrative universal international unit of nations. A unity based on a link between war-winning government and military power that promotes peace, security and development of the well-being of people, states, nations, territories and environments on the planet.

And, until 1944, five years after the war emergence and in the face of the broad field of destruction, fear and power in the world, presented by the new arms race at the time, it was not clear what type of actions should be carried out in national policies of power and domination of each of the war powers. And, even less, what type of development could governments promote, in addition to assistance, loans and control or domination of property, economic values, debts and sanctions as the practice in the first war. Thus, the Bretton Woods Conference was born, held from July 1 to 22, 1944 in the North American state of New Hampshire under the auspices of American foreign policy. A policy that was then economically organized and ascendant in controlling the movement of international capital that led to the creation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.

What basically involved this scenario at first:

1.    The Creation and consolidation of institutional arrangements that were capable of promoting world peace, control or security in relation to the global economy, competition and development or globalization.

2.    The need for the reconstruction and development of a Europe and Japan divided and decimated militarily and economically by war.

3.    The establishment of international economic-financial development, addressed in the Bretton Woods Agreements (1944 – 1971), The cycle or system of American negotiations established in the city of Bretton Woods in the US state of New Hampshire through the Monetary and Financial Conference International of Allied Nations.

More of the same strategy used in the first world war. And, with religious cultures discarded from the process and the values of scientific capital   becoming the basis of knowledge and social assistance from the market and competition, the Bretton Woods system was consolidated as an international collective institutional arrangement with the USA, involving these objectives:

Assistance, lending and control or domination of properties, illnesses instead of health, economic values, debts and armed conflicts.

However, the League of Nations, even at the end of its life, and the volatile situation in the field of peace and war provisions at the time, brought more complex issues to governments - such as:

1.    The relevant issues of the five wartime conferences between the leaders of the major Allied nations:

a)    The Atlantic Charter, drafted in August 1941 during President Roosevelt's meeting with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill on a ship in the North Atlantic, subsequent to the Treaty of Versailles;

b)    The Tehran Conference (Iran) in 1943;

c)    The rise of Harry S. Truman to the US presidency with the death of Roosevelt in 1944 plus this:

His decision to use nuclear weapons against Japan to end and win the war and Truman's dispute with the Soviet Union for world hegemony, already in the consolidation of the founding of the United Nations - having issued the Truman Doctrine, promoting the approval of the Plan Marshall of US$12 billion to rebuild Europe, supervision of the Berlin Airlift in 1948 and the creation of NATO in 1949.

d)    The Yalta Conference (“Yalta, Crimea, Ukraine) in February 1945,

e)    The San Francisco Conference between April 25 and June 26, 1945

 f)     The Potsdam Conference (Germany) in July and August 1945, which related to the administration and occupation of Germany – and which would lead to the Basic Law of Germany in 1949, conceived as a provisional law.

2.    the establishment of unity and integration of its diversities and divisions of people, states, governments, environments, cultures and welfare state in naming the meaning of global identity, security and health post use and advancement of globalization, nuclear energy and treaties on its applicable limitation and support.

But with the creation of the UN with its fundamental bodies still defined under the influence of Roosevelt in this order:

1.    The Security Council, made up of five permanent members (USSR, USA, England, France and China) relating to the countries that won the war and the provisional members elected by the General Assembly,

2.    The General Assembly, composed of all member countries;

3.    The Secretariat, chaired by the Secretary General with the task of managing and organizing the institution

4.    The Economic and Social Council to which the other various bodies of the organization and associates - such as Unicef (United Nations Children's Fund), WTO (World Trade Organization) and NGOs are intrinsically linked. The cultural instrument for operationalizing development policies within the scope of the United Nations and/or globalization from an economic point of view

5.    The Guardianship Council, to which the function of protecting people without a state and self-government would be linked, being composed of members of the Security Council and others elected by the General Assembly – similar to the guardianship council of nations applied to children. It was deactivated in 1997

6.    The International Court of Justice, established by the Charter of the United Nations as the main judicial body of the organization, which, within the functions recorded in its Statute, has a priority mission:

The special function of promoting and defending the Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which became its constitutional basis for justice and law – even though this function is not formally declared in its Statute.

Because, in fact and in law, the competence and jurisdictional scope of the Court comes from the UN in its unity and linked to its various bodies, including the economic one. And, only as the legal body of the |UN does it extend to all disputes that the parties submit to it and to all matters referred to in its Charter. Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Convention on the Rights of the Child or defined in current treaties and conventions -  as stated in Articles 36.1 and Article 38.1 of its Statute.

In fact, under global economic pressure and still depending on adjustments to the UN constitution, the UN Security Council, Secretariat and ICJ have replaced the organization's constitutional tripod with international laws.

Its members seem to have no the awareness or necessary acceptance that the general basis of international laws (relating to all member nations uniformly), referred to in Article 38 of its statute, is exactly the constitutional tripod of the UN.

There is a gap in awareness.

It is not in fact or by justice and law, the specific international laws that may be applicable or should be regulated in relation to this constitutional tripod that incorporate it. It is this constitutional tripod that incorporates them.

And this awareness gap leaves the UN Security Council, Secretariat and ICJ of the Organization paralyzed in the fragmented sphere of defense of the member countries they represent. What makes them ignore the main issue of their mission:

The ordering of global security of unity, peace and common development of the planet envolding all its states and nations. The what they must carry out for the strengthening and effectiveness of all the all  bodies and international general missions.

The summary of the historical direction

But we return to the study of historical signs.

Under numerous paths and conditions of development of the post-war process towards a state of peace, security and common development...

And, the question is:

What is the line of reasoning (evidence, documentation and foundation) for the creation of this state that the countries that won the second world war have followed to achieve their objective?

Between the years 1960/2023 they remain based on four lines of direction:

1.    Overcoming the two world wars and eliminating the possibilities of a third war – with the league of nations losing the fight to eliminate the possibility of the second and witnessing an example of mass destruction of 33 billion people in the first, and 70 billion in  second war and countless natural lives and life cycles on land, sea and air.

2.     The elimination of the prospects of mass destruction of health and life on/from the planet and the halting or elimination of the development of diseases that are on the rise

3.    The achievement of the survival, continuity and evolution of the people, peoples and nations of the planet based on the establishment of the unity of the diversity of people, peoples, states and nations inside and outside the planet by the United Nations – having as a basis for this action the overcoming UN conflicts with the World Bank, IMF, financial groups and the processes of execution, interpretation and adjustment, permanent validation or termination of international treaties of general or even specific scope, subject to the constitution and development of this unit.

4.    The integration between the sovereignty of National States for the realization of international planetary sovereignty - facing the direct confrontation of the USA, Russia, China and their allies under the neutral observation of India, Brazil and the Vatican (the latter in its position as Cultural State of the West) and the need to integrate everyone. Which leads us to understand that the Security Council, the Secretariat and the ICJ cannot remove any of their founding members in life, development or death, especially Russia, China and the USA – only respect, integrate and balance them in mutual safeguarding segurity of all countries, territories and envoronment

From my point of view, a great cycle in history in the movement of international cooperation for development and overcoming wars.

Where does it emerge this events from, after the US unilaterally made the dollar a fiat currency in 1971:

The special conferences and treaties associated with the UN initiated in 1972 and the current possible convertibility of the dollar by UN member nations into a currency truly of common international value .

Conclusion

The critical point in the evolution of these four lines of direction towards a state of peace, security and common development is the recognition by the economic groups that support the parties (G7, G20, G77, etc.), the World Bank, the IMF and the UN itself of this fact: that the international shareholding of people for the legitimization and development of this state is the path to be followed. .

But it requires and depends on – not just needs or requires – a cultural order in addition to political, economic, military, governmental and communicational – identity, linguistic and social, natural, human and non-human.

An action that should be mobilised between different authorities and civilizing agents, family (starting with women), religious, non-religious and non-governmental - including NGOs - against the backdrop of the UN's constitutional tripod in association with its corporate coordination missions.

And, it is in this context that the UN needs to guarantee the primacy of the preservation of its Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Convention on the Rights of the Child representing this element::

The basis of regulation or ordering of “Applicable World Law” in relation to all people, states, nations and natural or non-human life on the planet, inside or outside its territory.

Because if they do not achieve the formation and life of this state of peace, security and common development, the result is simple:

 We will all be permanently faced with a psychological war with the possibility of mass destruction much greater than the mass destructions of the first and second world wars combined.

And the cause is not “paralysis”, inefficiency, fragmentation, veto power, climate change or insufficiency of the Human Rights Council and the representations of nations within the UN - or the other political criticisms that the organization has suffered for years since its birth .

These are symptoms.

The cause lies in the conflicts of the G7, G20, G77, etc., World Bank, IMF and governments with. the UN.

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi told them all:

You are finding yourselves in a time of deep global divisions (I add: with demands for integration). We must not let issues we cannot resolve together get in the way of those we can."

With love, peace and light
