Cosmopolitanism, World Citizenship and

Legitimate Global Governance

The Human Union Movement works for the establishment of a Human Union through the development of global governance institutions that are consistent with all of humanity having an equal opportunity to benefit and that promote freedom of conscience and expression, democracy, access to education and knowledge, economic development, and political equality.

As the world exists today wealth, freedom and respect for human dignity are 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, and we urge people everywhere to work to bring an end to the civil war of humanity and build a Human Union.

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.
