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 .
