solidarity Manifesto (first anniversary)
ABOUT U.S.:
the endorsers of this show we are citizens with full use of our civil rights, and holders of sovereignty popular, from which emanate the powers of the state.
The signatories we went to all citizens, aware of the situation of poverty, hunger and disease in which a large part of the human population in a historical moment like the present, which is provided with sufficient political, economic and scientists who could solve these problems.
This manifesto is a universal calling, and is addressed to all humanity, every human being that inhabits the planet, to become aware of the terrible situation faced by millions of people and somehow act accordingly to end this unsustainable situation. Therefore, the original version in English will be translated into different languages, since our purpose is to make the voice of public opinion in places where decisions are political and economic world.
WHO WE GO:
We went to the politicians who rule our countries, as well as the highest leaders of the organizations International organizations such as the United Nations and the presidents and governments of the economically powerful countries on Earth.
DECLARE:
1 .- That this text has its origin in the fact of the extreme situation of need and hunger suffered by much of the population of the Earth and the unequal and unfair distribution of goods currently exists in the world. We understand that fairness and harmony in the world are based on the recognition of the inherent dignity and equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family, making it unacceptable that a large part of the world population have to face to a reality so precarious, so much of injustice, inequality, hunger, poverty and malnutrition. 2 .-
believe that this situation is particularly evil and not acceptable either morally or ethically, as all human beings are born free and equal. We also plead that all citizens of the world have these rights from the moment of his birth and not a future promise to be reached depending on the political, social or economic life of their countries. 3 .-
argue that it is completely unjust, immoral and a humanitarian crime punishable by international courts and history that, in the twenty-first century, human beings exist starving in the world and dying for it. It is an aggravating circumstance that, there enough international laws, as well as the technical, economic and scientific steps to remedy the situation, those who exercise power in the world do not carry out the necessary actions to address what future generations describe as a real genocide in which offenders are those who, having the means to solve the problem, but not using them.
4 .- We consider this unfair situation is contrary to Natural Law, Human Rights and the most elementary rules of ethics and understand that it is time that the voice of public opinion requires of its leaders the end of this state of affairs. 5 .-
this manifesto is not a utopian manifesto, and which is not a political manifesto, nor is it intended to the establishment of a new political or socio-economic world, nor any damage to the business, health social and the developed world, but the most elementary justice to the disadvantaged.
THEREFORE, WE DEMAND OUR LEADERS:
1 .- The adoption of immediate and urgent measures to alleviate such a situation of hunger, disease and malnutrition in the Third World. We believe that such measures are not a utopia, but are perfectly viable and possible.
2 .- Maintain a commitment to meet the Millennium Development Goals which were established by the UN in 2000, defined the principles that must be adjusted performance of countries and the international economic system to overcome, with the horizon established in 2015, the injustices that afflict humanity.
3 .- The systematic development of actions to the poorest countries and establish a logical and humane economic policy priorities, intelligent projects that create wealth and jobs in the affected countries, facilitating development and sustainable progress to help them consolidate the health care network, economic and social environment that makes it possible for an equal starting position.
4 .- To take the necessary measures so that the richest countries allocate a portion of their budgets to create wealth, businesses and jobs in the affected countries and the adoption of an international agreement that signed in the UN should be mandatory for developed countries.
5 .- The implementation of an ethical code governing the strategy of multinational enterprises and the elimination of tax havens and the implementation of the Tobin tax or a similar one, to International Business Transactions required to set up a solidarity fund managed by the UN.
6 .- Do not accept simple statements of principles that are not translated into concrete policies. In short, we appeal to the sense of generosity and humanity of everyone, especially from the economically powerful international political class.
From the land that he hopes and believes in solidarity to build a better and fairer world, to January 30, 2009 "
