As DELEGATES of the PEOPLES CONGRESS,
elected directly and democratically by a trans national
electorate, spread over 110 countries.
We state:
- That the expression of political opinions contrary
to those of the majority in power is more and more
considered a political crime in a growing number of
Nation-States
- That the freedom of expression and of conscience
like all the liberties recognised in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, now is more and more
limited.
- That the minorities rights to their political
identity and to their civil and juridical equality are
too frequently violated
- That the people's rights to self determination are
destroyed by powerful economical, financial and
political interests in the rich countries as well as
in the poor ones
We condemn without any reservation:
- All forms of abuse or torture
- All forms of racial segregation
- All forms of cultural, philosophical or religious
persecution or intolerance
- All forms of genocide or oppression of one group
by another
- All centralism that oppresses regionalism
- All forms of domestic or economic slavery
- All forms of political or financial
imperialism
We, elected delegates affirm that only world
institutions democratically elected with limited but real
powers, can insure for every human being :
- The guaranty of the essential rights included in
the Universal declaration of human rights
- The freedom of expression and conscience
- The existence of institutions insuring personal
and collective grow of all human beings
- The juridical respect of minorities and their
specific originality
- The preservation of cultural richness and heritage
of the people
- The right for each human being to food, health,
education, culture and information
- The political right of people to democratic
participation in world management at all the different
levels, through the exercise of the economical,
financial and political decisions.
Without the possibility of an individual nor
collective recourse to a supra national entity, the
fundamental human rights can not be secured .
