The original United Nations Charter Post Mortem

1
The original United Nations Charter Post Mortem

• Yes, folks, the original UN Charter is dead and
  can not be revived.
• There may have been some good intentions, but in
  nearly sixty years the Charter failed to rouse
  the passion of the people, even of the people who
  were directed to promote it.

2
Who knows the Charter?

• Only a fraction of one percent of human beings
  have ever read the Charter.
• The ones who have read it concede that the
  document has fundamental errors, and is not
  adequate to the task it pretends to address.

3
The Original Charter is Dead, but the United
Nations is Not

• Although the Charter is stillborn, the
  Institution of the United Nations is alive. Go
  check out its web site at
• http//www.un.org .
• It is clearly one of the most extensive web sites
  on the Internet.

4
Where is the Charter?

• Within the United Nations web site, the UN
  Charter is tucked away from view, and rather
  deeply embedded, because it is an embarrassment.
  Go look for it and see how long it takes to find
  the text of the Charter from the www.un.org home
  page !

5
And the Organization Itself?

• The Organization itself, however, is growing, not
  because of the Charter, but in spite of it. There
  is a real need for a global human organization to
  address human problems

6
The Makings of a Fresh New United Nations

• The Nations of the World do not have the
  authority to fix the United Nations Charter
• The Charter cannot be reformed through itself
• In order for the United Nations to grow and
  fulfill its global mission, its representatives
  and personnel must be aware of that which is
  beyond the United Nations Charter.

The Constitution for the Federation of Earth

• has the strength to renew the United Nations
  without the diminishing returns of attempted
  internal reform.

8
The Relation of the Constitution for the
Federation of Earth to the Old United Nations
Charter

• The Earth Constitution replaces
  the original UN Charter
• Although the Security Council has a certain role,
  the replacement does not require the consensus
  of the Security Council
• The Constitution is given the specific mandate in
  Article XVII, Section D.8., to reconstitute the
  United Nations

9
Reservation

• This reconstitution is enabled through
  legislation of the Provisional World Parliament
  and World Parliament, under the Constitution for
  the Federation of Earth, and cannot be effected
  by any subsidiary body, such as the United
  Nations or the Security
  Council.

10
Foresight

• Though originally it was conceived that such
  reconstitution should take place at the Second
  Operational Stage of World Government, it is
  proper that foresight should consider what shall
  be involved in such reconstitution, especially
  since the planning for the reconstitution of the
  United Nations is needed now, not only at some
  indefinite future date.

11
World Legislation

• Only World Legislation under the Constitution for
  the Federation of Earth gives the United Nations
  the required strength to fulfill its historic
  mission.

12
Provisional World Parliament

• The Provisional World Parliament, meeting in
  Surt, Libya, in September of the year 2000, will
  consider legislation to address the United
  Nations under the Constitution for the Federation
  of Earth
