World government meeting in September
Major U.N. confab seeks to
implement 'global decision-making'
By Jon E. Dougherty

The United Nations is sponsoring a global government
conference in the fall designed to examine "the future
of the world," and to create "an organizational
structure whereby the peoples of the world can
participate effectively in global decision-making in
the context of the United Nations system."
In preparation for this unprecedented conference,
"Charter 99: A Charter for Global Democracy"
( http://www.charter99.org/charter.html ) calls for
all nations to adopt principles of "international
accountability, justice, and sustainable development"
under the umbrella of democratic representation --
through the United Nations.
Called the "Millennium Assembly and Summit," the meeting
is part of the U.N.'s latest initiative to implement
global government. Paving the way for the meeting,
Charter 99 is sponsored by a consortium of influential
non-governmental organizations, or NGOs -- including the
World Federalist Association, Westminster UNA, the One
World Trust, the Commission for Global Governance, and
the Royal Commonwealth Society. Addressed to "all the
governments and peoples of the world they represent," it
openly invites representatives from every country to the
U.N. conference.
Posted during 1999, the website's introduction to the
September conference's agenda states: "Throughout the
century now coming to an end there have been well
meaning and sometimes eloquent calls for world
government." Included were "calls which pointed to the
unfairness, inequality and injustice of the present
distributions of wealth, power and policy making --
which mean that today one in five of us lives in
absolute poverty," as well as "calls which emphasized
the dangers to peace and even to human survival. If only
we could work as one world, then we could solve the
world's problems together."
Assembly sponsors said that during the 1990s, "demands
for international government have taken on a new energy
and precision." Specifically, project sponsors said,
"the Commission on Global Governance made an
unprecedented international effort to draw up a
framework for global politics," adding that "the Hague
Agenda for Peace represents a world-wide coalition
committed to replace the causes of war with a culture of
peace and non-violence." In addition, it says, "an
International Criminal Court was adopted at Rome in 1998
to reinforce international criminal law." Sponsors also
championed the international effort to remove landmines,
cancel "unpayable" third world debt, and the adoption of
the "Universal Declaration of Democracy, endorsed by
most parliaments in the world" by the
Inter-Parliamentary Union.
Proclaiming that "in many ways we now have a world
government," U.N. Assembly sponsors said that government
"is not to be found at the United Nations." Rather,
they said, the U.N. has been sidelined while "the real
business of world government" is conducted elsewhere.
"Global policies are discussed and decided behind closed
doors by exclusive groups, such as the G8, OECD, the
Bank of International Settlements, the World Bank, the
International Monetary Fund, the World Trade
Organization and others," the sponsors said. "These
agencies are reinforced by informal networks of high
officials and powerful alliances. Together they have
created what can be seen as dominant and exclusive
institutions of world government. All too often they are
influenced by transnational corporations which pursue
their own world strategies.
"These agencies of actual world government must be made
accountable," said the Assembly introduction. "If there
are to be global policies, let them be answerable to the
peoples of the world."
Sponsors said the first goal of the September meeting's
participants should be to make the existing world
government bodies accountable. "We want to know what
decisions are being taken and why. We want the decision
takers to know they are answerable to the public in
every country which feels the breath of international
bodies," Assembly sponsors said.
"Then we want all decisions to be compatible with public
criteria of environmental sustainability."
Furthermore, the group said, "we also want the U.N. to
ensure that its core mandate, 'to save succeeding
generations from the scourge of war', applies equally to
all the peoples of this world.
"Finally, if most ambitiously, we want global governance
to be compatible with the principles of equality, human
rights and justice, including social and economic
justice."
Charter 99 supporters have also listed 12 areas for
urgent action as well
( http://www.charter99.org/action.html ), which
includes giving the U.N. General Assembly more powers
to scrutinize U.N. agencies, strengthening justice
"under international law," giving the U.N. an
"additional and independent source of revenue," and
the creation of a new "directly recruited U.N. Rapid
Reaction (military) Force."
