World Declarations

17

As DELEGATES to the PEOPLE'S CONGRESS, elected directly and democratically by a trans national electorate, spread over 110 countries

WE APPRECIATE:

  • The communication technologies on going progress that scientific and technological research are making available the human right to information and communication

HOWEVER, WE WANT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO:

  • On one hand, the growing ascendancy of the political and financial powers over the information agencies and the worldwide diffusion systems of the written and spoken press
  • And on the other hand, the weakness of the international organisations to develop an information world order, absolutely necessary and possible

CONVINCED:

  • That the defence of peace and justice is about the protection of individuals against harmful exploitation and abuses through modern means of information

WE FINALLY ARE SURE:

Of the beneficial value of this protection in order to create a political enlightened world opinion

WE DEPLORE:

  • The current deficiency of the national and international radio and television programs in the area of information about world problems
  • The absence at the international level of the right to response and corrections in order to effectively allow people in the public and private sector to defend themselves

CONSEQUENTLY WE REQUEST:

  • The permanent availability provided by the audiovisual medias of broadcasting time allowing humanitarian organisations and non governmental associations of pacifists, "mundialists" to inform people and to get them to associate to the efforts achieved in favour of peace and justice in the world community
  • The creation of a supra national world arbitration authority able to solve the problems that always arise through the application of this measures
