World Citizens express the wish that the
VERSAILLES SUMMIT should create two commissions on the
crucial issues that humankind must solve today.
Commission on disarmament : a body of Jurists, inside
or outside the U.N., be given the mission of studying the
modes of enforcement of an effective verification of
disarmament and of its consequences on the absolute
national sovereignty that States wield.
The German, Italian and French constitutions have, in
fact provisions for a possible surrender of their
sovereignty, under provision of reciprocal
arrangements.
All the conferences on disarmament have failed because
all of them since the first which was held in The Hague,
on August 29th 1899, stumbled over the rock of the
national sovereignty of States.
Actually, all through the centuries of history,
mankind has kept questioning the basic principles of its
organization as science and techniques improved : Greek
cities, Roman empire, Catholic church power, feudal
lords, god's anointed Royalty ..; but for two centuries
Absolute National Sovereignty wielded by the State is the
only power that has not been challenged…
Why is it so when the survival of humankind is the
price ?
Commission on development : the creation of a body of
economists, given the mission of studying the influence
of absolute national sovereignty, as an obstacle to the
eradication of hunger, in such field as, for example, the
exchange rates of raw materials, the control of
transnational companies or the destruction of tropical
forests.
In that field, too, science and technology, nowadays,
tend to make economies become more and more
interdependent, which shows that a world response is to
be found to this world issue.
