PREAMBLE
Conscious of their responsibility before present and
future Human generations, animated by the resolve to serve world harmony and
prosperity as the vanguard part in a united Humanity, the planetary Community
of Earth citizens has adopted, by
virtue of their constituent power, this Basic
Law. The tellurians in all continents of the planet started to act
coordinately and coherently, having the firm determination to achieve unity and
concordance in solution of all problems and challenges, which Humanity faces at
current and expect at forthcoming Time. This Basic Law is thus valid and obligatory for guidance for the entire
Mankind in free and supraliminal self-determination.
The Universal
Constitution of Earth is the Supreme
law on the Earth for the Humanity – for all inhabitants living on this
planet. This Constitution is the
first constitution of such kind, and its main articles are recommended as example
for amending the constitutions of all national states existing nowadays on
Earth.
Its text is based
on the Universal IDEOLOGY of the Humanity in the XXI century -
TRANSUNIVERSALISM, the Universal DECLARATION of Human DUTIES, the Universal
DECLARATION of Human RIGHTS, UNESCO “Medium-Term Strategy for 2014 – 2021” and
“Strategy on philosophy”, best appropriate articles of Constitutions of national
Earth States, on recommendations, advices and suggestions of the best thinkers
of the planet, but most of all – it is founded on the COMMON SENSE.
CHAPTER 1 - Spatio-temporal localization of Humanity in
the World
Article 1
Everyone on Earth
should definitely realize his place in the World:
World (all
conceivable infinite space that can only imagine the human imagination) g our Universe
(some part of the World; there are versions that it is not alone) gMetagalaxy (observable part of the Universe) g our Galaxy
(the Milky way, include more than 200 billion stars) g our star (the Sun) and all that surrounds
it, i.e., the Solar system g our planet
(Earth) g Geosphere (Earth's surface – 510
million square km; land takes about a third of surface, the rest is water) g biosphere
(organic world of Earth, including vegetation – flora) g zoosphere – fauna (animal world) g humanosphere
(Mankind and all that is associated with their activity, including negative) g Noosphere
(Humanity and their activity based on reason,
wisdom, morality, justice and responsibility).
Article 2
Beside motion (development) in Space, all creatures existent around develop following fundamental laws of Nature in Time and in Quality.
Their development
in Time is permanently going from the Past to the Future through the Present with the speed 24 hours per day. The Present can be considered as the summary of the Past.
The Future is unpredictable, if it is not properly designed, planned and prepared.
Their development in Quality is permanently going from the Simple to the Complex through
the Diversity.
On the Earth because of its globe form that limits the space, the development of all is
going mainly in Time and in Quality.
CHAPTER
2 -
Basic Principles of collective living
of the Earth population
The Humanity inherently is individual, but individuals (7 billion
people) are dissimilar among themselves and differ: by gender, reason (common
sense), morality (conscience), by culture of behavior, education, status rank,
social position, by lifestyle, faith and world-view, by religion, welfare,
language, race characters, national lifestyle and traditions, health condition,
age and character, citizenship and nationality, by ideology and political party
affiliation, on kinship, by residence, and other signs up to
"rooting" for their football and hockey clubs – fans. There are even
clear distinctions by blood group – 4 types.
Most of these differences are natural, some are not
antagonistic at all, as by blood group, but many distinctions become so
antagonistic that divide and oppose the inhabitants of the Earth, plunging them
into confrontation, severe antagonism and even wars. It is for antagonistic
traits individuals unite (group) in a communities, associations, organizations,
parties, or even into sovereign states with strictly fixed territories, and
even in blocks of States. Because of this, arena of warfare acts are mostly
local or regional, but the transition of Mankind in an era of globalization,
makes conflicts more and more global.
In any case, within Humanity, there are two main life
patterns: individualistic and socialistic, wherein the focus of human
activity is directed on his own individual goals, interests and rights or on
social needs, requirements and duties. Following
the first life pattern, as a rule, the
oligarchic stratum of people is formed. The second life pattern contributes
to the formation of a genuine aristocracy.
Moreover, within the Humanity in general there are two
main patterns of formation of consciousness, on which the whole lifestyle of a person is created: individualistic and socialistic. Individualistic
consciousness, that historically appeared much earlier, similarly the first -
second groups of blood, is an atavism of previous periods of human evolution,
in which all human activity is primarily directed towards achieving own
individual goals, interests and rights.
Social consciousness, that
evolutionary is more modern, similarly the third or the fourth blood groups, is
a true characteristic of a contemporary man with a developed mentality and
public nature of his life, in which human activities are already more focused
on social requirements, needs and duties.
Following the first pattern of lifestyle, rich, oligarchic, dying stratum of people is
formed, as a rule. The second type of lifestyle contributes to the formation of
a progressive stratum of public men, and ultimately, a genuine aristocracy.
Ideally, this issue should be in evolutionary harmony, but that should be nurtured.
On most controversial differences Mankind has learned
to find ways of combining and cohabitation. However, on a number of signs,
generated in the process of conscience formation, in certain parts of the world
there are growing irreconcilable differences and disagreements, leading to
various conflicts right up to hostilities and confrontation with casualties.
These include conflicts on religious,
ethnic and ideological grounds, as well as on world view, territorial
and social disagreements, which in
the framework of the existing world order it is impossible to overcome, and all
of them can provoke war of world level, which directly or indirectly would
involve a significant portion of the Earth population, and in our nuclear age
it can lead to irreparable catastrophe – the self-destruction of Mankind.
Since XX century wars began to be global (world,
total) and involve the entire population and the tension of all moral, military
and economic capabilities of States.
First World (global) war engulfed dozens of countries.
The losses of the armed forces of all States-participants of this war amounted
to about 10 million people. Until now there are no generalized data on losses
of the civilian population from the effects of implements of war. Famine and
epidemics caused by the war have killed at least 20 million more of innocent
victims.
In the Second World (global) war already 72 States (80
% of the Earth population) took part. Military actions were taking place on
territories of 40 States. 110 million people were mobilized to the armed
forces. Total human losses eventually reached 60 - 65 million people.
The Third World (global) war, if it starts, will be
the last one and will put the final point in the Mankind History. Life on Earth
will cease.
The real way to overcome these conflicts, avoiding the
3rd World (global) war, is only one – to unite all the Humanity within the
framework of a single, strong, well-organized Universal State of Earth
constituted by the united, educated citizens of the Earth on unified, genuine
universal values with a single, unified system of nurture, education,
enlightenment and government.
Article 3
Being an organic part of Earth biosphere, all the living
at Present population of the planet, regardless
of the above differences, lives under the influence of the Laws of Nature. It
composes the single human community of Earth, which members are subdivided according
to level of development of their intellect into 3 social statuses:
-
Earth Inhabitants
-
Earth Citizens
-
Earth Aristocrats
Their life and health is much dependent of living conditions
within biosphere as well as all other
living nature of the Earth. The living
nature needs an appropriate composition and quality of air, soil and water around – the principle ingredients of precondition of the Life as a whole.
The differences
between the above statuses are not the money or wealth, but presence or absence
of ignorance, common sense and reason in their mind, ability to think and find
solutions, the level of development of their mentality and social activity. Stating
these kinds of differences dependent mostly on a person’s upbringing and
education, the following status’ descriptions can be defined:
Article
4
Earth Inhabitants – all Human creatures are born as a result of joining of gametes
of their father and mother that form a zygote, which in fact, just from the
first day of its existence appears as one more new living unit on the planet – Earth inhabitant. The day of uniting two
parents’ gametes and formation of a zygote generally is considered on Earth as
the day of birth of all living creatures. This rule is to be applicable
to the Human beings as well. Consequently
in the Certificate of Birth of Human
beings – Earth inhabitants exactly
this date should be stated together with name, surname, and place (city, town) of
being delivered from the mother’s body (womb) after 9 months after birth.
It is supposed that any Human creature – a unique creation of Nature, differs from other
living creatures (animals, plants) by the ability to have a human intellect, consciousness and self-awareness. In fact, a living creature is forming his mind, consciousness and self-awareness and becomes the only being in the
Nature, capable to think profoundly and be aware of yourself and
your actions, only as a result of an extensive process of upbringing and education per human training program. That is why, after antenatal
development after his birth (about 9 months), every Human being – Earth inhabitant
is to obtain humanitarian upbringing
and education from his (her) family,
society, state on the way to personalization, socialization and formation in
the future of his own family to be adapted to live a normal life and behave appropriately
in the society.
Thus, until the end of this educational process, during
which occurs the formation of his thinking
abilities and self-consciousness,
a human being has the lowest, primary social status – Earth inhabitant.
It is supposed that during this educational period each
Earth inhabitant should obtain regular
school education, which should include literacy,
numeracy, citizenry, philosophy, ethics,
and aesthetics. Only after passing authoritative
exams he (she) becomes a full-fledged, mature, conscious Earth Inhabitant with receipt of a special Earth Inhabitant Certificate of Maturity stating his (her) official
social status with indication of his (her) name,
surname, date of birth and place of
appearing from the mother’s body (womb) after 9 months after birthday.
For the Earth
inhabitants their division by priority in their life of one or another life
patterns is traced: for some people the individualistic
approach in their lifestyle is prevalent - firstly, for themselves, their
family, relatives, friends, but for others - a socialistic approach, i.e. for the common good.
That is why after completion of primary (basic)
education each Earth Inhabitant is
obliged through self-awareness to begin reducing in his lifestyle the share of individualistic approach and increasing
share of socialistic pattern,
performing more human duties and
starting to enjoy human rights.
However, until he becomes a certified citizen
of the Earth, an Earth inhabitant cannot have any civil rights.
Basic human
duties, rights, freedoms and responsibilities
are essential to inhabitants of the Earth
and should be implemented and enjoyed by each of them from the day when he is
aware of their existence.
Article 5
Earth Citizens – they are those Earth Inhabitants,
who have passed civil education and have studied the Minimum of civil knowledge,
follow it, live an active social life based on this knowledge, i.e., have formed a civil
consciousness and self-awareness,
teach other Earth Inhabitants and
continue civic studies during all their life.
The Minimum of
civil knowledge includes:
-
Basic
philosophical, ethical and aesthetical knowledge;
-
"Big
History", including the history of religions, theism and secularism, and
the modern scientific picture of the World;
-
Transuniversalism universal ideology and Universal
Constitution of Earth;
-
Aristotle’s
Table of the types of state (political) governance and modern typical structures
of self-management;
-
The latest list
of «the Fundamental Values and Vices», based on wisdom, reason, morality, justice, and responsibility;
-
Basic Duties and Rights of a Man (Human Being)
and a Citizen;
-
The structure of
the world economy, the political and geographical maps of the Earth;
-
The healthy and
orderly way of life, the evils of the lifestyle and behavior that should be
avoided;
-
List of today's
major global threats and challenges to the Humanity;
-
Knowledge of the
commonly accepted language of intercommunication (now - international English), ability to use a computer, internet, a
mobile phone and other gadgets.
After learning the Minimum of
civil knowledge, Earth Inhabitants pass special exams and receive official
Certificate of their high social status – Earth
citizen. Earth citizen Certificate indicates his personal
ID number, which is listed in the WORLDWIDE LIST of Citizens of the Earth - http://wpf-unesco.org/id.htm . The same ID
number is mentioned in his ID Card of the Citizen of the Earth.
Besides he receives a special Ensign of the Citizen of the Earth, which he is supposed to wear when
likes to.
For the life of Earth citizens
it is more typical the more modern life pattern – socialistic, i.e. for the common good. Individualistic lifestyle is on the second place.
All Earth
citizens are united into civil communities of different territorial
level – local, regional, continental,
planetary (global), which compose appropriate civil societies. The function of these civil communities is to take care of the life and activity of Earth citizens and solve various temporal
problems. Their duty is also to keep
on the civic education for all during all their life.
Only Earth
citizens are granted universal right to elect and be elected into administrative
organs of self-governance of all levels – global,
state, regional or local.
Earth citizens are obliged to fulfill human and civil duties
and enjoy human and civil rights. But their main civil rights and duties – to continue civic education within all their life, to
teach civic knowledge other inhabitants,
to be civically active and responsible, to take active part in the social life of
local community of citizens, to take care about flora and fauna, environment as
a whole.
If found guilty and be sentenced by a court as a criminal, the Earth citizen loses his
high social status and becomes again only in the status of Earth inhabitant until the end of his punishment; after that he
appeals in due way to receive the high social status anew.
It is supposed that Earth citizens should get college or university education.
Article 6
Earth Aristocrats – they are the best Earth Citizens
from the best ones – ARISTOS (gr.), the real intellectual and moral elite
of the Humanity, whose mentality displays the most perfect forms of consciousness and self-consciousness.
Such Earth
Citizens should prove this by demonstrating knowing more deeply Civic knowledge and practicing them in everyday life through
constant use of wisdom, reason, morality, justice and responsibility, including global responsibility, and accordingly, obviously
opposing, or even fighting against ignorance,
injustice, irresponsibility, corruption,
double standards, and so on.
The most active and prominent Earth Citizens pass special Appointing
commission and receive official Certificate of the top civil status – Earth Aristocrat. Earth Aristocrat Certificate
indicates an Aristocrat appropriate ID
number, which is listed in the WORLDWIDE LIST of Aristocrats of the Earth – http://wpf-unesco.org/ida.htm. The same ID number is mentioned in the ID Card of the Aristocrat of the Earth-XXI.
Besides he receives a special Ensign of the Aristocrat of the Earth, which he is to wear if likes.
It is supposed (likely) that each Earth Aristocrat should
have a PhD degree.
In life of Earth
Aristocrats the socialistic life
pattern is rising above, i.e. all for the common good. The elements of the individualistic lifestyle are barely
visible.
Earth
Aristocrats ought to be in the
leadership of the civil communities
of different level – local, regional, continental, planetary (global), and be
the vanguard part of civil societies.
They are the most wise, reasonable, fair,
moral and responsible members of civil societies, having profound and notable conscience and dignity. Like Earth citizens, they are obliged to fulfill human and civil duties
and enjoy human and civil rights, to teach civic knowledge
other inhabitants and citizens, to work in government bodies, to
take care about flora and fauna, environment as a whole.
CHAPTER 3
- Fundamental universal all-time Values and Vices
Article 7
Optimal list of enduring Universal values – profound
knowledge, mind (reason), conscience, correctly educated consciousness, genuine truth,
wisdom (philosophy), respect, family, friendship, morality (morals), decency, trust, honesty, justice, honor,

thrift, good taste, kindness, compassion, politeness, pride, dignity, charity,
benevolence, sincerity, generosity, punctuality, accuracy, courage, bravery,
boldness, purposefulness, resoluteness, sacrifice, charity, intelligence,
aspiration to perfection, cleanliness (purity), civilization.
The consciousness of each Earth inhabitant
and, for sure, of each Earth citizen
should absorb as minimum all the above values;
his social, public everyday behavior should be based on their principles.
The full list of universal enduring
values, known from ancient times, is
in Transuniversalism ideology – http://wpf-unesco.org/eng/offpap/top12/truniv.htm
and on the website of the World Philosophical Forum – http://wpf-unesco.org/eng/offpap/top5/modvale.htm.
Article 8
Optimal list of Universal
vices – barbarism, ignorance, distorted
and/or underdeveloped consciousness, banditry, robbery, plundering (including natural resources), terrorism, murder,
obscurantism, fascism, extremism in any form, double standards, double
understanding of obvious, bribery, the pursuit of luxury, embezzlement of public funds,
vandalism, fraud, militarism, debauchery, luxuries, greed, squandering, betrayal, addiction,
corruption, alcoholism, lie (deception), capture of hostages and someone else's
property (corporate raid), larceny, modern “demagogy”, slander, spite, seducing of children
(pedophilia), environment wrecking.
Each Earth inhabitant and, for
sure, each Earth citizen should know
all the above vices; in his social,
public everyday behavior he should oppose, or even fight against any manifestation
of this type of vices by himself or by
other inhabitants.
The full list of universal vices is
in Transuniversalism ideology – http://wpf-unesco.org/eng/offpap/top12/truniv.htm
and on the website of the World Philosophical Forum – http://wpf-unesco.org/eng/offpap/top5/modvale.htm.
CHAPTER 4 - Basic
universal human and civil Duties and Rights
Whereas human
duties have social nature in their basis and according to all philosophical
postulates cannot be separated from human
rights, and a person cannot have rights
without having duties, and only realizing
own duties equally with rights it is possible to obtain real freedom, justice and peace on the
Earth. Because of this everyone on the planet is entitled to know and observe
all his human and civil duties and rights.
The Universal
Constitution of Earth shall guarantee the equality of duties, rights and freedoms of an inhabitant (human being) and
citizen, regardless of sex, race,
nationality, wealth, language, origin, property and official status, place of residence,
religion, convictions, membership of public associations, and also of other
circumstances. All forms of limitations of human
and civil duties, rights and freedoms on social, racial, national, linguistic or religious
grounds shall be banned and prosecuted.
Man and woman shall fulfill and enjoy equal duties, rights and freedoms and
have equal possibilities to exercise them.
Along with duties of each person there are also responsibilities (from personal to global), and obligations.
Therefore to keep away from duties –
means, to be extremely irresponsible.
An Earth citizen
may exercise his or her duties and rights in full from the age of 18.
Article 9
Optimal list of Universal human
duties and responsibilities
They are:
- to be and remain during the whole life a thinking man and citizen in the broad sense of these words, and for this purpose to obtain and constantly to replenish and update,
at least, the general education, civil knowledge and secular upbringing;
- to be physically healthy, well-mannered, polite and
cultural;
- to study universal values, follow them and educate them in others;
- to fight vices
in yourself, in surrounding people, and imposed by unfair figures of culture,
education and mass media;
- to respect seniors; to honor parents and
to look after them; to have a good family, to have and correctly to bring up
children;
- to work conscientiously; to keep the
neatness and cleanliness of your home, not to litter, to preserve and improve
environment, the nature.
The main duty
of all parents on Earth – to bring up and educate their children on basis of
universal values & vices, duties & rights, to
take care about them all time.
The main duty of all Earth children – to follow parents’ wise advises, to
take care about them all time, especially when they are aged.
Everyone shall be obliged to preserve
nature, its flora and fauna, the environment as a whole, carefully treat the
natural wealth.
The civil rights and duties mainly consist in
electing the best, proper co-citizens to
the governance (local, regional, continental and global) and control their
functioning. If, being elected to some administrative body, the most important duty for the citizen is to fulfill his work properly with conscience and
dignity, in the most effective and rational way using his personal wisdom, reason, morality, justice and responsibility, which he should obtain
during his civic education.
The full list of universal duties and responsibilities is in Transuniversalism ideology –
http://wpf-unesco.org/eng/offpap/top12/truniv.htm, and in the Universal Declaration of Human Duties –
http://wpf-unesco.org/eng/undhd.htm
Article 10
Optimal list of Universal human and civil rights
They are:
- the right for life; to be a man, human being, Earth inhabitant
and a citizen; to have a family, children, to be engaged in their upbringing and education;
this helps to keep up human physical
existence, to enlarge and multiplicate Mankind;
- the right for own self-education and enlightment throughout the
whole life;
- the right for work, for realization of
creative abilities, demanded and positively
perceived by society;
- the right to elect and to be elected; the right to have respectable leaders;
- the right for privacy; the right to be healthy; the right for a well-deserved rest.
But it is only Earth citizens, civically educated and demonstrating proper
behavior in social life, who can have a driving license, to be a doctor or a
teacher, to work in administrative organs, in mass media or in police since it is connected with the
life and well-being of other people.
At the same time the exercise of the rights and freedoms of inhabitant and citizen should not violate the rights
and freedoms of other people.
The full list of universal human and civil rights is in Transuniversalism
ideology – http://wpf-unesco.org/eng/offpap/top12/truniv.htm and
in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
– http://wpf-unesco.org/eng/undhr.htm
CHAPTER 5 - The Earth population universal self-governance
principles
Article 11
All the public
power on the planet Earth proceeds from the planetary (global) civil society of Earth Citizens. It is
them, who by means of wisdom, reason, morality,
justice and global responsibility
define universal self-government, which can be altered, if necessary, according
current circumstances on the Earth.
Article 12
The constituting principle of universal self-government
on Earth is proclaimed NOOCRACY, or noocratic
centralism – the natural for human beings power of nóos (gr. – reason), which, according to
Aristotle’s Table of types of state governance, is the best, TOP one type, i.e.
the most advanced democracy.
In practice, it is the power of civically well educated people – citizens. It is opposite so called plain
democracy – which is the power of mostly
ignorant crowd – ochlocracy (gr.- ochlo), open for manipulation from the side of dishonorable
politicians.
Therefore, only Citizens of the Earth, civically
educated, have the right to participate in the government process performed in
public interests for the common good. Human
beings with the social status of just Earth
inhabitants have no such civil right
until they become Earth citizens.
Earth citizens shall exercise
their power directly, and also through the bodies of a state administration and
local self-government.
The supreme direct expression of the power of the
people shall be referenda and free elections being subdivided: a) only
for citizens, or – b) for citizens and inhabitants.
CHAPTER 6 - General self-governance - Universal STATE of Earth (USE)
Article 13
Being in a critical situation, the global World order
on the Earth for the Humanity as a whole for the present Time being will be kept
on by the global community of Citizens of the Earth through supranational
governing organs (institutions) constituting the Universal (supranational, suprareligious) STATE of Earth (USE)
having a federal structure.
Thus, the USE
is a social State, whose policy is aimed at creating conditions for a worthy
life and a progressive development of the Humanity as a whole, and each human being in particular, amelioration
of all-around nature, fighting with destructive and regressive forces,
ignorance and cruelty leading to self-destruction of the Humanity, all living
on the Earth.
The division of functions and powers between the
central (federal) and local State organs (institutions) is guided by the
principle of giving full scope to the initiative and enthusiasm of the local civil
communities through local authorities under the unified leadership of authorities
of a higher level (consequently, regional, continental, global).
Article 14
The sovereignty of the USE shall cover the whole territory of Earth. The USE shall ensure
the integrity of its territory.
The USE consists of autonomous national and
territorial subjects: countries, states, republics, regions and areas – equal
subjects of the USE. Each subject may have its own constitution and
legislation.
The status of a country, state, republic, region or
areas shall be determined by its Constitution or a Charter on condition that
they do not contradict the universal values
and vices, all-human and civil duties and rights, and standards of normal human behavior indicated in the
present Constitution.
The USE structure is based on its state integrity, the
unity of the system of the USE authority, the division of subjects of authority
and powers between the organs of state power of the USE and organs of state
power of subjects of the USE, the equality and self-determination of Earth citizens in the USE.
Article 15
The Universal
Constitution of Earth and universal USE federal laws shall have supremacy and
direct action on the whole territory of the USE.
In relations with USE organs of state authority all
the subjects of the USE shall be equal among themselves.
In the USE recognition and guarantees shall be
provided for duties, rights and freedoms of inhabitants and citizens according to the
universally recognized principles and norms of the present Constitution and USE
federal laws.
In the USE guarantees shall be provided for the
integrity of all-around economic space, a free flow of information, knowledge,
education, goods, services and financial resources, support for competition,
and freedom of educational and economic activity.
In the USE recognition and equal protection shall be
given to the state, municipal, cooperative, private and other forms of
ownership.
Each Citizen according
to ancient philosophical postulates is considered as a part of a State. Thus,
in our case each Citizen of the Earth
as a person shall be considered as a part of the USE.
Flag of USE
CHAPTER 7 - Central (federal) organs of the USE
Universal STATE of Earth (USE) has for the start period of its existence the following constitutional structure that includes listed below supranational administrative organs (institutions):
Article 16
Supreme (supranational, suprareligious) Council
of the Humanity (SCH) including Committees of top rank experts and advisers on
various question and contents.
The Central USE
General Statistic bureau is subordinated directly to the SCH.
SCH function – seeking for solutions of current universal
problems on the Earth and determination of security, prosperity and further
progress of the Humanity as a whole.
SCH works also as the Earth Constitutional updating Council.
Social status of SCH functionaries – top Earth-XXI Aristocrats, best out of the
best thinkers of the Earth.
SCH work shall be defined by its Charter, which will
be worked out and approved by the Constitutional Convention, and becomes an
integral part of the present Constitution.
The Supreme (supranational, suprareligious)
Council of the Humanity (SCH) is the top intellectual power on the Earth consisting
of the most prominent, practically top rank representative of the Humanity
regarding reason, wisdom, morality, justice and global responsibility,
showing the most developed consciousness
and self-consciousness. Therefore all
of them in fact can be considered with sure as the "Conscience of the planet".
All of them should be in reality this kind of human being.
At the same time it is necessary always to remember
Plato's principle recommendation for such cases that on the top of state
governance there should be always a philosopher or philosophically thinking
people, as only this kind of people can take the most reasonable decisions. And
namely this kind of people should be in the SCH, who from the very beginning would start thinking and take reasonable
decisions on current problems and future development of the Humanity as a
whole.
The SCH, as USE top administrative organ, takes final
decisions on solution of most grave current problems and challenges that Humanity
faces as well as final recommendations for other USE organs in ameliorating of
global statistics figures.
The SCH each year approves final texts and amendments
to the three very important for all-Humanity documents, fixing certain general
figure parameters on economical, demographical, educational and environmental
issues, namely:
1) Yearly “Plan of USE activity” for the next
year.
2) Strategic plan of “General development of Humanity
and Earth’s biosphere” for the next 5 years, targeting better figures
of the global statistics.
3) “USE Medium-term Strategy of Humanity and
Earth’s biosphere development” for the next 10 years.
The SCH also supervises “USE Long-term Strategy on
development of Humanity, Earth surface, flora and fauna for next 10 - 25 years”,
mentioning goals in improved figures of the global statistics.
In some very urgent important cases for Humanity
existence, survival or stability the SCH may issue special alarming SCH decrees, which shall be obligatory
for fulfillment in the whole territory of the planet.
All SCH decrees shall not contradict to the articles
of the present Earth Constitution and later be formally approved by the Earth
Parliament.
Article 17
Earth Parliament
Its function – Lawmaking;
Social status of chief functionaries - Earth-XXI Aristocrats.
Its work shall be defined by its Charter, which will
be worked out and approved by the Supreme Council of the Humanity, and becomes
an integral part of the present Constitution.
The Earth
Parliament shall be the representative and legislative body of the USE for adopting USE laws. The power to
initiate legislation shall belong to the SCH and all state organs of the USE on
issues in their authority.
Liable to obligatory consideration by the Earth Parliament shall be the USE laws on
the following issues:
a) USE federal budget;
b) USE federal taxes and dues;
c) financial, currency, credit, quotas regulation, and
money issue;
d) ratification and denunciation of treaties and
agreements of the USE with countries, states, territories, regions or areas;
Adopted by the Earth
Parliament USE laws shall be submitted during five working days to the SCH
for signing and making it public.
The heads of Earth
Parliament should be members of the SCH.
Article 18
Earth Government
Its functions - administrative, executive, directed
towards an equal distribution on the planet of the best alternatives of
respectable life for people and commonly accepted behavior in society through
unified system of nurture, education and enlightenment, on removing impediments
to this process, as well as to the solution of current problems of social life.
Social status of chief functionaries - Earth-XXI Aristocrats
Earth Government work will be defined by its Charter, which will be
worked out and approved by the Supreme Council
of the Humanity, and becomes an integral part of the present Constitution.
The executive administrative power in the USE shall be
exercised by the Earth Government according
to the Universal Constitution of Earth,
the USE laws and SCH decrees that should be guidelines
of the Earth Government activities
and organization of its work.
Earth Government
shall:
a) Consider and find or propose the ways to secure,
improve and make it more prosperous the life on Earth of the Humanity as a
whole, and each Earth Inhabitant, in
particular.
This should be confirmed by regular global and local
statistics open for everyone's observation and information.

Council of the Humanity.
Article 31
Being regularly updated, the data of the statistics
give full and appropriate information to the civil society of all levels of human
and civil communities about all aspects of social life everywhere, condition of
biosphere and efficiency of everyday-work of government bodies on all levels of
the society.
Based on this information the members of the
communities think and act.
The low or deteriorating figures of the official
statistics give the ground to investigate with all state and civil power, with
calling mass media, and if necessary, civil
tribunal, the reason of low statistics rates, and to dismiss or even
prosecute appropriate responsible officials to be substituted afterwards, if found
guilty, by new ones, more prominent and capable to improve the situation.
CHAPTER

CHAPTER 12 - Stages of realization of the Universal Earth
Constitution’s articles and formation of the USE administrative organs
Article 34
The Draft of the
UNIVERSAL CONSTITUTION of EARTH is open for discussions and amendments for
all Citizens
of the Earth until its final approval by the Constitutional Convention. The text is published on World
Philosophical Forum website, see link -
http://wpf-unesco.org/eng/use/constit.htm
All accepted changes
made in the Draft would be traced in the WPF website publication.
It is planned that on October 7 – 8, 2015 the final for
that period of time text of the UNIVERSAL
CONSTITUTION of EARTH will be approved and proclaimed as the USE Statute by the CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION during the 6-th Dialectical Symposium in Athens, Greece -
http://wpf-unesco.org/eng/indexe.htm
This date would be considered as the crucial point of the
new era in Life of the Humanity on the Earth – the origination of the Universal STATE of Earth (USE).
Article 35
The year 2015 of the XXI century should become a turning
positive point in the centuries-old Humanity’s HISTORY!
It presumes the following steps:
1.
The formation of Earth-XXI
(global) citizenship through the WPF website - http://wpf-unesco.org/id.htm
2. The formation of Earth-XXI
(global) Aristocratship through the WPF website - http://wpf-unesco.org/ida.htm
3.
When the quantity
of Earth citizens will pass the
number 100 000, than the UNIVERSAL
CONSTITUTION of EARTH will enter in force, and the Transitional period of
USE formation would start. How long it will continue, it depends on the
activity of Earth inhabitants & citizens and their wish to have a
secured and prosperous life on the Earth sooner.
Article 36
The Transitional period will start with formation of USE governing organs and institutions by
the Earth civil community. Upon their formation official negotiations
with international organizations and national governments would start about their
integration into the structure and administrative bodies of the Universal
STATE of Earth.
It is planned that international organizations will
integrate into USE organs and institutions of global governance based on their
present activity. National countries and states after signing with the USE
special agreements would become integral regional parts (states, provinces,
territories) of the USE headed by their state, regional or local administration
having at the same time top all-planet civil status – Earth-XXI Aristocrat. National, regional and local legislation
would be altered accordingly and fully correspond to the Universal Constitution of Earth and USE federal laws.
CHAPTER
13 -
Vital changes in all-Humanity life
after USE formation
The following changes vital for the whole Humanity can
be expected after the constitution of the Universal
STATE of Earth (USE):
Article 37
There would be only one global-wide (universal) supranation on the Earth – Tellurians
(Earthmen). The USE upholds the
uniformity and dignity of the universal Earth
citizens’ civil society. Apart of it, the Earth population would observe cultural
nationalities, all equal despite their numbers, for keeping on and
developing their national languages, various cultural and family traditions and
customs, way of life on condition that they do not contradict the Primary
enduring universal values and vices, human and civil duties and rights, and standards of normal human behavior.
The USE upholds and develops a relationship of
equality, unity and mutual assistance among all the Earth nationalities.
Discrimination against and oppression of any nationality are prohibited; any act, which undermines the humankind
unity on ground of nationalities or instigates the Earth population division,
is prohibited and prosecuted by the Earth
Civil Tribunal.
The USE assists areas inhabited by national minorities
of Earth inhabitants in accelerating and
updating their educational, economic and cultural development according to the
characteristics and level of knowledge achieved by the global civil society.
Article 38
There would be only one political force (party) on the
Earth – Citizens of Earth-XXI with a leading role of its intellectual
and moral vanguard – Aristocrats of Earth-XXI. These people would be having always only one, the most important for the
Humanity task – to keep on the top of the social pyramid at any level (from
local to global), i.e. the system of
power and structures of
self-government, always only people with the highest social consciousness living and operating on
the principles of reason, morality,
wisdom, justice and responsibility
for the common good. Individuals, who do not share these principles, must be
outside the structure of the social pyramid of self-government, and being at
the bottom of them, to study and master all of the above principles.
The free activity of other political civil forces
(parties) is also allowed on condition that they do not contradict the Primary
enduring universal values and vices, human and civil duties and rights, and standards of normal human behavior. All civil associations and political parties shall be equal before the
law. The creation and activities of public associations, whose aims and actions
are aimed at a forced change of the fundamental principles of the
constitutional system and at violating the integrity of the USE, at undermining
its security and progressive way of its development, ruining biosphere and
environment, at setting up armed units, and at instigating social, racial,
national and religious strife, shall be prohibited and their activity is to be investigated
in the Civil Tribunal.
Article 39
It is expected a strong political and criminal opposition to the constructive and true
political force – Earth citizens-XXI
– and to their creative program to save and perfect the Earth and Life on it, i.e.
the activity that should be popular and supported by all reasonable people
existing among the advanced part of the Humanity.
This destructive opposition to the progressive civil activity
of noble and reasonable people are individuals with immature, individualistic type of consciousness,
namely: ignoramuses, illiterates, ill-minded people with infringed or undeveloped
consciousness, political carpet-baggers and swindlers, corrupt
people, oligarchs, clericals and marginals of all types, producers, traders and
users of weapons of mass destruction, just ordinary weaponry; producers,
traders and users of narcotic drugs, alcohol and tobacco; and other criminals.
The only way to fight them – to fight their ignorance:
to urge them to study ordinary, obligatory for all human beings on Earth, civil knowledge with passing serious exams.
In case of their civil disobedience or disturbances they
would be summoned to a civil tribunal for
investigation and possible punishment.
Article 40
The USE is
a secular state, though ideological
diversity shall be recognized, but the most updated, modern, most scientific, universal
and progressive, fit for formation of social consciousness would be
considered Transuniversalism –
secular ideology, which would be recommended Earth inhabitants for universal study.
Any religion or religious associations shall be free
for their activity on condition that it does not contradict the Primary enduring
universal values and vices, human and civil duties and rights, and standards of normal human behavior. All of them shall
be equal before the law and prosecution in the Civil Tribunal.
Every person on the Earth shall be guaranteed the
freedom of conscience from evil
and vices, the freedom of the
scientific, secular understanding of the world nature opposite to unscientific ignorance and obscurantism.
At the same time it is guaranteed the freedom of any
traditional religion, belief or faith, including the
right to profess individually or together with others any traditional religion,
or to be just a secularist and profess no religion at all, to worship reason and science. It is allowed to choose, possess and disseminate freely
religious and other views, including secular,
and act according to them.
Article 41
In the USE there
would be only one, common for all, supranational language for global civil
intercommunication on the Earth. For the time being, according to the current
world statistics – now it is the International English. Other
languages can exist without any limitation, be studied and used likely as
additional ones regionally and locally.
The language
for global intercommunication can be changed with the lapse of time, if
necessary, by a decision of the USE Authority.
The
International English shall be the only state language now on the whole
territory of the USE.
At the same time countries, states, territories,
autonomous region or areas shall have the right to establish their own official
languages. In the bodies of regional or local USE authority and regional or local
self-government, country institutions they shall be used together with the USE state
language. The USE shall guarantee to all of its peoples the right to preserve
their native language and to create conditions for study any language of the
Earth for everyone.
Article 42
The Primary enduring values on all the Earth from now on should become
– wisdom, reason, morality, justice, responsibility (including global
responsibility), and bioethics.
The Primary all-time vices on all the Earth from
now on would become –ignorance, cruelty, obscurantism,
injustice, immorality, irresponsibility, corruption, double standards, double
understanding of obvious, lack of culture, and of
bioethics.
The main duty of all inhabitants and citizens
of the Earth is to remember all the above all the time and promote and support
everywhere values, while opposing and fighting against vices.
Article 43
The territory of the USE shall include the territories of its subjects:
countries, states, territories, autonomous regions and areas, inland waters and
territorial sea, the air space over them, etc. The status of each USE subject
shall be determined by the Universal
Earth Constitution on the basis of appropriate agreement signed between USE
and this subject as well as the Constitution or Charter of the USE subject,
adopted by the legislative (representative) body of the corresponding subject.
The borders between the subjects of the USE may be changed upon their mutual in-between
consent, and if necessary, with the assistance of the Earth Government.
Article 44
No closed territorial borders will exist on the planet
for Earth
Citizens; all planet surface would be formally civilly transparent for
them for travel and work; every of them has the right to free travel over the USE
territory, choose a place for his stay or residence on condition that they
would observe the Primary universal
values and vices, human and civil
duties and rights, and standards of normal human behavior.
However, for those, who have social status of Earth
inhabitant, there can be certain travel and work restrictions
stipulated in USE federal, regional or local rules and regulations.
Article 45
In the USE territory it shall not be allowed to
establish customs borders, dues or any other barriers or restrictions for a
free flow of goods, services, information, education and financial resources.
Certain limitations on the transfer of goods and services may be introduced
according to the USE federal law only in cases, if it is necessary to ensure security,
protect the life and health of people, nature and cultural values, also as a
kind of economic support to local population.
Article 46
The USE authorities promote preschool, primary, civil,
secondary, vocational and higher education. The State undertakes permanent
development of educational process and updating of its content to raise the
intellectual, scientific and cultural level of mentality and social consciousness
of the whole Earth supranation.
Regular education including civic learning should be compulsory
for all Earth inhabitants and free of charge for them.
Vocational and higher education would be free of
charge only for Earth citizens in case
they would pass the exams.
Federal, regional and local authorities modernize systematically educational facilities and use all reasonable
efforts to eliminate present worldwide illiteracy and ignorance and provide all
kinds of unified education of high quality for the whole Earth population.
Article 47
The USE authorities promote worldwide the system of
modern clinics, hospitals, medical centers and pharmacies. Apart
of permanent progressing of medical service and assistance, the State develops
physical culture and healthy life-style to improve physical fitness and longevity
of the whole Earth supranation.
Mass health examination, including medical consultations,
visiting public health and sporting centers should be compulsory for all Earth Inhabitants
and free of charge for them.
Compulsory health insurance would be free of charge
for all Earth citizens, but for Earth inhabitants only under 18 and over
60 years old.
Federal, regional and local authorities modernize systematically all medical facilities as well as health
centers, stadiums, swimming pools, fitness clubs and other health facilities in
order to provide high quality medical assistance and improve health for the
whole Earth population.
Article 48
The USE promotes the development of natural sciences
and humanities, the dissemination of scientific and technical knowledge,
encourage achievements in the field of scientific research and the application
of technological innovations and inventions in practice.
Academy of the Earth co-ordinates the main directions
of scientific activity and contributes to the widespread propagation of the
scientific research results, as well as the combination of the scientific
research activities with educational process.
All scientific activities should be directed only to
peaceful purposes, to facilitate the life of Mankind in the era of natural
disasters on the planet and challenges that come from outer space.
Article 49
Within the framework of approved by the Supreme Council of
Humanity strategic plan of " USE Medium-term Strategy of Humanity and Earth’s biosphere development" for the next 5 years, the USE authorities by means of family planning policy, improvement the level of consciousness and self-awareness of the people, regulate the population growth on different continents and on
the planet in general, based on process of the demographic, mental, social and
economic development of Mankind, the existing reserves of natural resources,
environmental capabilities of the Earth, while exercising a more even dispersal from densely
populated areas to sparsely populated regions and territories preserving for
everybody generally accepted lifestyle.
The success of this work depends largely on the
effectiveness of measures to align the upper bracket of the level of development
of universal mentality, social consciousness
and self-consciousness of Earth inhabitants.
For that purpose the USE
authorities contribute to the development of art and literature, perfect the
work of mass media, libraries, museums, cultural, leisure and recreation
centers and other cultural sites, encourage mass cultural events aimed at the
development of aggregate mentality and improvement of the health of the planet population.
Article 50
As the human
being is a social being, it is
natural for him to have regular social communication, contacts and relations.
For all citizens it comes as supranatural common practice to meet at certain
civil assemblies or conferences of all levels (local, regional, continental, or
even, global) to exchange of views and discuss current appropriate issues or
problems and ways of their solution in the public interest for the common good,
the efficiency of civil servants’ activity of appropriate administrative organs
in these questions.
Any inhibition of such discussions or even criticism
from administrative bodies is not admissible, and their representative should
participate in such discussions and follow commonly accepted decisions and
recommendations of civil society, the
sovereign power in the society, to managing administrative bodies – the
structures that are in the service to the civil society staffed with temporarily
hired functionaries.
Article 51
All natural resources, surface, atmosphere and
biosphere of the Earth are considered as property of the Humanity as a whole,
and their rational use and exploitation can be performed only with all ecological
care in the whole Humanity interests and for the common good while observing

deterioration regional and even local living conditions of human beings, animals and plants.
Natural resources cannot be used in purposes to enrich
oligarchs or their families.
Appropriation or harmful extraction of natural
resources (coyoting), any damage by whatever means to landscape, places of
living of wild animals and plants by any state or public organization,
commercial company or even by an individual must be banned, and all known cases
be investigated and prosecuted.
Natural resources development can be received from the
state on agreed leasehold terms and conditions by private, cooperative or
municipal companies or organizations on a strictly limited period of time only
for the rational use or exploitation, while the site should be ameliorated all
around that should be mentioned in the terms of the agreement and monitored
regularly.
Article 52
Secularism, as well as all known religions,
faiths and beliefs are free for everyone to follow as well as all
philosophical, ideological and religious views would be respected on conditions
that they do not adversely affect the social
consciousness and the
self-consciousness of the people as well as contradict the Primary enduring
universal values and vices, human and civil duties and rights, and standards of normal human behavior.
The domination or discrimination of secular behavior,
or any traditional religion or faith would not be favored. Secular and
scientific philosophical ideas would
be considered as the most modern and practical as contrasted to ignorance,
illiteracy and obscurantism.
Article 53
Procedure rules of birthday registration of a human being in the USE would be unified
and similar to those, which now exist in Eastern countries of our planet, i.e. from
the day of formation of a zygote. Due to this any act of abortion will be considered as a killing of a human creature, i.e. as an act of crime.
East Asian age reckoning is a concept and practice
that originated in China and is widely used by other cultures in East Asia. Birth
registration of a newborn outside the mother's womb is fixed after some time
after leaving the mother's womb and is recorded as one year old.
Article 54
In the USE there will not be a special city considered
as the Capital in the conventional sense of this term; virtual Capital
will be rotating over various cities on all the continents of the planet.
Most of the USE administrative organs will be working in
the most modern mode – on-line, using mostly internet as communication facilities.
Any city or town of the Earth is free to invite and
welcome USE top authorities for discussions local, regional and global problems
and issues.
Article 55
On Earth there would be put into circulation a new universal currency – tero. For its
emissions a new Bank will be responsible – Bank of Earth, working on new
banking principles, based on the new universal values – reason, morality and justice.
Other currencies still will exist for some time during
the transition period, but eventually will be released from circulation as
unnecessary.
Article 56
Production, sales and use of weapons, military
equipment (first of all, of weapons of mass destruction) and of narcotic drugs &
synthetic chemicals as well as causing pollution of the environment will be
prohibited and considered criminal all over the planet; all cases of this kind
are to be investigated and prosecuted at the Earth Supreme Tribunal.
The use and exploitation of natural recourses, other
acts of worsening environment in a way that deteriorates the Earth’s biosphere,
climate and living natural conditions at any place on the planet are equal in
their devastating results to acts of war or terrorism and are to be
investigated and prosecuted at the Earth Supreme Tribunal.
Article 57
Any social or civil disputes or conflicts should be
settled amicably through reasonable and wise discussions and negotiations
from the standpoint of high morality and justice; if agreement is not
reached, the solution is sought in a civil court of a corresponding level.
All military conflicts and clashes in the USE should
be considered as acts of a civil war and stopped by the global
civil society. All such cases are to be investigated and prosecuted at the Earth Supreme Tribunal.
Article 58
Unfulfilled promises of politicians to make inhabitants’ and/or citizens’ life better can be regarded as cheating and severely
prosecuted by the Tribunal of any level.
The most used punishment of the court for all
criminals would be forfeit of high social status of Citizen of the Earth (if he has), deep civil knowledge studies and
education, and productive work in the public interest.
Otherwise long term open demonstration in the
transparent glass cage of the Tribunal
prison would be practiced for edification.
The death penalty would be out of use except special cases on Tribunal decision.
Article 59
Any individual, who made any criminal act and was
found guilty by a court or by a tribunal, will not be considered guilty
alone. All court (or tribunal) investigations should name the circumstances,
reasons and consequences and finally people that brought the individual to this
criminal act, who took possession of his consciousness and made it distorted.
They can be his parents, teachers, educators, theologians,
mass media, cinema makers, TV, the system of education or even governance as a
whole (local, regional, state or even universal – global).
After each court
(or tribunal) case there should be a particular decision in regard of a third, circuitous party to blame it
in order to avoid, not to repeat the criminal act of this kind anew.
Article 60
The Universal Constitution
of Earth shall have the supreme juridical force, direct action and shall be
used on the whole territory of the planet. Laws and other legal acts adopted in
the USE shall not contradict the Earth Constitution.
All laws shall be officially published. Unpublished
laws shall not be used or practiced. Any normative legal acts concerning human
and civil duties, rights and freedoms may not be used, if they are not
officially published for general knowledge.
All USE administrative
organs of all levels, public organizations, all enterprises and institutions
must abide by the regulations of the present Constitution and other laws affiliated with its content.
No organization, association or individual is
privileged to be beyond the Constitution or other laws. No laws, administrative or local regulations may contravene the Constitution. All acts in violation of
the Constitution or other laws are to be investigated and prosecuted.
The bodies of state authority, the bodies of regional
or local self-government, officials, inhabitants and citizens and their associations
shall be obliged to observe the Universal
Constitution of Earth and laws describing universally-recognized norms of
human and civil social behavior.
Article 61
The Universal
Constitution of Earth shall come into
force from the Day, when the official statistic number of Earth-XXI Citizen, fixed on
the World Philosophical Forum website - http://wpf-unesco.org/id.htm , will
reach the number 100 000 persons.
Since that date the establishment, formation, and work
of USE organs (bodies) can start in due way.
Until then, the preparatory work for establishment and
formation of USE organs can go on only on a voluntary bases by Earth citizens’ global society in
cooperation with the World Philosophical Forum.
CHAPTER 14 -
The Universal Constitution of Earth updating procedure
The text of the Universal
Constitution of Earth never can be final or optimal. Life every day brings
new circumstances, problems and challenges. They should be traced in the Constitution text. Some USE organs’
structures or work procedures also can be added or optimized, or changed.
For these purposes certain proposals on amendments and
review of the provisions of the Universal
Constitution of Earth may be submitted by the USE administrative organs as
well as by legislative (representative) bodies of the subjects of the USE to be
discussed and voted in the Earth parliament. All amendments to the Constitution
adopted by the Earth Parliament can
come into force after being signed by the Supreme
Council of the Humanity and considered as approved.

The text of the present Constitution is intended for knowledge and use by all Earth inhabitants. It is written for
understanding by individuals with intellect of average level. Thus, it serves also
as a self-test for intellect level. If this text is difficult for your understanding,
your intellect’s level is below the average and you should continue your studies.
Unfortunately, estimation shows that a majority of Earth inhabitants has such level of intellect. Universal educational system of USE should improve it for better,
and this is the main task of formation and functioning of the Universal State of Earth, and Your personal task as well.
POSTFACE
Everyone on the Earth, who has a sense of reason,
morality and global responsibility, would not deny
that situation on the planet deteriorates with every passing month bringing the
Humanity closer and closer to a world-wide catastrophe. World order becomes more
and more without a proper order or with the worst variant of “order”. Within the present
world disorder of about 200 mostly militarized sovereign nations, people learn
nationalism, fear, competition, and disharmony.
Even Pope Francis in one of his late addresses
pointed out that idol for most peoples on the planet more and more became money but not happiness of each other, and this causes the all-around evil
including the danger of World War III.
Atomic Scientists, who made the decision in
consultation with its board, which includes 19 Nobel Laureates, say Earth is
now closer to human-caused doomsday (only 3 minutes are left till the midnight)
than it has been in more than 30 years because of global warming and nuclear
weaponry. This is about doomsday; this is about the end of civilization as we
know it.
The probability of global catastrophe is very
high, and the actions needed to reduce the risks of disaster must be taken very
soon. Today, unchecked climate change and a nuclear arms race resulting from
modernization of huge arsenals pose extraordinary and undeniable threats to the
continued further existence of Humanity. And present world leaders have failed
to act with the speed or on the scale required to protect Earth inhabitants from potential catastrophe. These failures of
today's global leadership endanger every person on Earth. Luck of the world
leaders is that most inhabitants on the Earth because of low intelligence are
unable to understand the danger of what is happening on the planet, and are
unable to organize themselves into a single intelligent Humanity. Otherwise, most of
them would already be in jail.
The main reason of the observable global
deterioration is well known – it is the degradation of the average human
mentality and the prevalence of individualistic consciousness over the social one, which reflects in increase
of individuals’ ignorance and lack in their minds of compulsory human,
philosophical, and civil “ordinary” knowledge.
This degradation of human mentality and the
distorted universal consciousness raise the necessity to innovate and unify the
concept, content, sense and the purpose of education on the planet according to
the global era. To form the new human being with a global vision and social consciousness it is necessary to
implement a more sophisticated Universal Upbringing and Education on the Earth.
If you wish to have sooner a secured and prosperous
life for yourself and your family, governed by the most profound and wise thinkers
of the planet – just, moral ad responsible – right now, you have only one thing
to do – to hasten the constituting of the Universal
State of Earth. This can be done sooner, if you join the global community
of Earth-XXI citizens becoming Earth citizen yourself and organizing Earth citizens’ civil community locally
nearby around.

Philosophical Forum website. Just submit your application at -

Ideally all 7 billon Earth inhabitants are to become Earth
citizens except those ones with developing (children until they leave the
school) or undeveloped mind (ignorant, uneducated people), or mentally ill individuals
with distorted consciousness (criminals sentenced by the
court). All other are to become…. Let it be 5 billion only, but quite
enough to organize perfect life on the Earth for normal people.
There is no other way for everybody to do or to go; the
only alternative is self-destruction of the Humanity through “nuclear winter” with
minus 50 degrees Celsius all over the planet for dozens of years, or somehow
else more terrible. All that means the end of Life on the Earth.
This sounds seriously and can happen now at any
current moment. The Humanity technologically is fit for that and this can
happen at any hour in the absence of mass
global civil society. The Third World War is very near to start. It is a
pity, but most of Earth inhabitants because
of their individualistic consciousness even don’t think
about this, as if their mentality is still as if in the XVII century, or even
earlier.
To avoid it, it is necessary to raise the common level
of the Humanity’s mentality and universal consciousness up
to the requirement of XXI century; and it can be done only by means of civic
education for all. Only then Humanity can feel relatively secured.
Some of them still hope that after the death, even
terrible, they will get to Paradise. For their information the biggest
specialist on the Universe structure, British cosmologist Steven Hawking
testified that until now the best scientists with all their modern equipment
couldn’t locate any place in the Universe that could be considered as a
Paradise. Therefore he advised all Earth inhabitants
to enjoy happy and healthy life on the Earth while alive.
Thus, the historic fate of the planet is now in the
hands of the most vanguard and responsible part of the Humanity – Earth
citizens, the maturity of their civil consciousness, their practical
activity. The hands of doomsday watch should start to go backward further and
further from the doomsday.
“To be or… not to be? – this is the question…” –
