France is inviting in September 1981, at UNESCO,
the Low Income Countries" (L.I.C.)
For 30 years, despite 2000 expert meetings, there have
remained about 30 L.I.C. and every year 50 million people
starve to death ! It's a failure.
But does the reason for this failure not come from the
fact that no one has addressed the sacred principle of
absolute national sovereignty on which the organization
of the world is now based ? For indeed :
- World over armament makes it impossible to invest
the money which would be indispensable to eradicate
hunger. We have to get rid of arms. To do so, we have
to be able to control disarmament on site. How can
this be done if we do not obtain a limitation of
national sovereignty ?
- World overpopulation makes difficult, under
current circumstances, any fight against hunger. How
can we make the people conscious of the fact that
balanced demography of the peoples is more important
than nationalistic build-up ?
- Transnational companies, mocking frontiers, world
for their own interests, and not for those of the
people of the countries where they have branches. How
can there be a supervision of the way they behave and
obedience to their rules that could be valid
everywhere without obtaining from all the countries
that they renounce a part of their national
sovereignty ?
- Tropical and equatorial forests are threatened, a
few seas are about to become completely polluted. How
can we avoid the destruction of the biosphere without
promulgating specific world laws for protection ?
- The exchange rates for raw materials are not
stable, how can we stabilize them without creating
agencies and world regulating supplies ? Currencies
escape control, how can we stabilize them without
waging war on speculation thanks to the practice of
world monetary cooperation based on a system common to
the whole of humankind ?
- Bilateral and between rich countries and
developing countries hides a kind of post-colonialism.
How can we create effective work solidarity without
allowing, across every national border, the practice
of all types of mutual help and without creating,
under the authority of humanitarian organizations, a
fairly distributed world community tax ?
- The requirements of rich countries and of the rich
in the poor countries for choice products result in
growing luxury fruit, vegetables, etc..; which harm
the home production that could grow food for the local
people in developing countries. How can we avoid this
waste without taking the decisions needed in all
nation-states ?
For 30 years, mundialists have been asking for
Absolute national sovereignty to be challenged. If we
don't do it, it is impossible to put an end to hunger in
the world.
Mundialist recommend therefore that, at the Paris
conference, a special commission be created with the
mission to study the obsolete and harmful influence of
absolute national sovereignty, the obstacle to an
effective solution of the problems of "low income
countries".
It is a pity that the agenda is made by governments,
whose main part is to strengthen their own national
sovereignty. Will there be one government capable of
breaking this vicious circle ?
