As DELEGATES to the PEOPLE'S CONGRESS, elected
directly and democratically by a trans national electorate,
spread over 110 countries
WE OBSERVE:
- That the development of telecommunication satellites
will bring in the near future, a possibility of
broadcasting information or television programs that will
be watched directly by viewers on their own television
set all around the world .This development could shatter
human , social and political relations at the
international level.
- That under current world conditions, some powers are
able, thanks to their financial and technological means,
to acquire a dominating influence on the nations located
in their broadcasting areas.
WE DEPLORE:
- That the United Nations conscious of that danger,
have not been able to elaborate regulations to control
direct televised broadcasting via satellites.
WE ASSERT:
- That the radio electrical frequencies that can be
used for television by satellites are limited resources
that are part of mankind heritage and the 1967 treaty on
the exploration and exploitation of the extra atmospheric
space cannot provide the right to a nation or a private
company, to broadcast without restrictions via satellite
any kind of television program send to an audience of
foreign countries
WE REQUEST:
- That the installation and the management of
telecommunication satellites be controlled by a federal
world authority, the only one to be qualified of
exercising mankind's legal responsibility and to manage
its resources
That immediately be undertaken at the request of
government organisations, that recognizes its importance,
a complete study of international public services
(infrastructure -launchers -satellites) of a universal
per satellite television that will be exclusively devoted
to information, the defence of peace and to debate all
the themes in relation with a the federal world
organisation .
