In an era when the evolution of science and
technology requires a new organization of humankind, some
propound a complete change of its very foundations.
During the 18th century, the era of "enlightenment",
the French and American philosophers did challenge the
foundations of the social and political order of their
time : Royalty by divine right. Hence the Nation-state,
the embodiment of the people endowed with "sovereignty",
was born. But the progress of science and technology has
flooded over borders and blown up the frontiers of Nation
states themselves. Mundialists are the only people that
have seen and become interest in this phenomenon, while
the leaders of States, though they acknowledge, when they
speak at United Nations, that current policies, nowadays,
are leading the world towards self-destruction, never
challenge the organization of the world, as it is
now.
Yet, Gaston Thorn, the President of the Commission of
European Communities, admitted, on July 1st, 1982, that
the deadlock, or near-deadlock, of the Community system
was ascribable to the lack of implementation of important
items in the existing treaties, to the weakening of the
community spirit and to the decrease of the belief in
making Europe. And, on July 4th, 1982, the President of
the French Republic, François Mitterrand, declared
that the concept of Europe as a political unit had to be
forwarded. But how can the concept of Europe as a
political unit be forwarded without the states agreeing
to partial delegation of their national sovereignties ?
the first step might be to allow any European citizen to
run for election in any European constituency.
At last, when mundialists speak of control for
disarmament on location, of controlling transnational
Companies or controlling whether Human Rights are
respected, are they not guilty, in that case also, of
violating the national sovereignty of each Nations-State
? Has the cession of a part of the sovereignty not become
the main issue ? Must the breaches of justice continue
spreading, the wars to expand, for this issue to be, at
last, properly addressed ? Will one State be wise enough
to take the first step, that is : act on the behalf of
humankind instead of placing its own, selfish interests
first ? Or will it be the peoples who, having become
grown-ups, will have to demand that the structures of the
world be changed now ? Humanity is likely to survive only
if we are ready to do this !
