Build Human Union and end the Civil War of Humanity
In today's world wealth, freedom and respect for human dignity are often divided and controlled by national borders. Poverty and starvation in another country is not a problem of the "other" but the suffering of our fellow human beings. Conflict between nations, states, and tribes are in reality conflict between fellow human beings. All wars today are civil wars; civil wars of humanity, we urge people everywhere to work to bring an end to the civil war of humanity and build a Human Union. We cannot solve the many problems facing humanity today without structural change of the international system such as building a Human Union
What is a Human Union: The Human Union concept is the development of an organically growing international association of states which observe agreed upon common values, e.g. democracy, human rights and environmental protection. The easiest way to visualize this is to think of something which emerges and develops slowly like the European Union (EU) did, so that over time it goes from having a small number of members to many. But of course learning from and not repeating the mistakes of the EU and maintaining a focus, in the initial stages, on democracy, human rights, protecting the environment and limiting war and starvation.
How will it start: A Human Union will start slowly and gradually evolve as it adds on new members and agreed standards. It can begin from as few as one Country (or the EU) issuing a Human Union Declaration that it is willing to negotiate with others to form a Human Union on the basis of respect for democracy and human rights.
We urge all democratic governments to begin negotiations to form such a Human Union with the people and government of any other country which is willing to genuinely co-operate in such an endeavor.
We welcome all people of goodwill who wish to join us in building a world where the dignity of all human beings is respected. This site has been created by supporters of Human Union to be resource and stimulus for a growing Human Union Movement. There is no formal Human Union party, corporation or society behind this website. There is simply a slowly building momentum to Human Union which this site hopes to support. If you are interested in bringing an end to the civil war of humanity and helping build a Human Union please feel free to look around this site, consider what is available, and either work with us or work on your own path to help build Human Union.
