As Citizens of the
World,
Faced with the destruction processes
which are being organized before our eyes, and with the
confessed helplessness of the nation-states and
international organizations, in order to defend our
lives, we declare humankind and the whole biosphere in
danger; we declare that the whole of humankind has a
right to defend itself against any worlds power,
any ideology, or any propaganda which claims to justify
any ecocide or war.
Before it is too
late:
We want a common system of law
and a federal world power able to enforce it,
We ask that we, the people of
the world, the only true sovereign at this level, be
democratically consulted, and that we organize for
ourselves elections to a World Constituent Assembly, and
at the same time the world technical organizations to
guarantee our food, our security, and our service of
public information.
We call on the people of the
world, each of us, to mobilize for peace, so as not to be
mobilized tomorrow by Governments for wars.
We intend to count our forces,
ignoring frontiers, by accepting a card common to all
citizens of the world.
We shall remain watchful and
active until the people of the world assemble to give the
world a Constitution.
