Opening up a path to a peaceful world free of tyranny

Hopes are raised for the creation of a democratic and peaceful world state under an emergency appeal now being made to all national parliaments to support formation of a new World Assembly.
A World Inter-Parliamentary Forum is being proposed by the Supreme Council of Humanity (SCH) under the umbrella organisation of the Universal State of the Earth (USE), the platform for a new non-authoritarian World State advocated by the English cultural historian and philosopher Nicholas Hagger, who is chairman of the SCH.
The USE was launched by Hagger, in conjunction with the President and CEO of the World Philosophical Forum, the Russian Igor Kondrashin, at a WPF convention in Athens in 2015.
The primary task before humanity, the appeal states, ‘consists of gathering the best-thinking minds endowed with power by voters in a single supranational, supra-religious world body, a World State that is free from the shackles and ignorance of the current world leaders’.
An analysis of recent events in all continents shows that confrontations between states seeking to increase their power is constantly increasing tension, but the current world order lacks the understanding to solve the spreading global problems.
The main goal of the appeal is to bring to the world community’s collective attention the uncontrollable growth of current problems: ‘Failure to solve these would be tragic for every inhabitant of planet earth, for all humanity. The politically active, vigorous thinkers within humanity must find a way of eliminating the root causes of the growing problems to prevent humanity destroying itself and all life on our planet.’
It is proposed to appoint Ban Ki-moon, a former secretary-general of the UN, as the Honorary President of the World Inter-Parliamentary Forum (WIF), and Irina Bokova, a former secretary-general of UNESCO, as the Honorary Secretary General. The historic first meeting of the WIF permanent Assembly is planned to be held in the symbolic ancient ‘Centre of the Earth’, the city of Delphi in Greece.
