DECLARATION OF INTENTS FOR A JOINT STRATEGY

Michele TRIMARCHI - Luciana Luisa PAPESCHI

Co-President of CEU and IPV

We, the people of the Earth, sole heirs to all that historically preceded us, previously unaware of a physiological knowledge of the dynamic interdependence that exists between all the physical elements constituting the planet, including ourselves,

Declare that we have today come to know of the dramatic ecological, human and social crisis that is increasingly pervading every facet of the ecosystem, gradually jeopardizing the possibility of survival of all and every micro and macro-organism in existence.

We are aware that the planet's condition of crisis stems only and exclusively from human actions based on the principle of competition driven discrimination applied at different levels of policy-making aimed at subtly affirming the power of man over man and of peoples over peoples even if the principles underlying the laws are antithetic to such behaviour.

We declare knowledge of the fact that such a national and international political approach conditions tne entire social and human evolution process of every nation, hindering Man from freely expressing his potentialities thus all work and subsistence-oriented activities towards violent conflicts that specifically deny freedom in scientific research and in school and university teaching; in short, in the shaping of minds capable of tackling and solving present problems.

We are aware of the fact that crime, drug-addiction, most existing diseases, schizophrenia and psychological phobias draw their origin from social injustice, corruption in public administration, blind discrimination at all levels, the political inadequacy of some of the people elected to represent the population within government, the lack of committees whose members are real experts on the issues studied, the limitations set by an over-sectorialized science deprived of any humanity and useful only to industry, consumer markets and personal ambitions but certainly not to Man in his psychophysical and spiritual integrity.

We are now beginning to realize that there is an incpient form of demotivation that is spreading throughout the world that especially drives young people to refuse life which entails particularly dramatic consequences as they not only push towards a physical suicide but rather a moral and ethic alone. This demotivation degrades the quality of human life, deprives Man of any certainty and consequently of any will to learn, to grow, to act, to be and become.

Knowing all this, we cannot escape feeling the pangs of our sorrow that spurs us to take action no longer on behalf of a nation, of a political movement or of an ideology but on behalf of Man and of his dignity that is regulated by physical laws that do not require mathematical proof as any such evidence would be limited to only proving itself and not the physical dynamism of the environment, of Man and of the natural processes that regulate them.

We want a new political outlook on the Woman-Man nucleus aimed at integrating diversities, an integrated and dynamic science that might "bear witness" to the dynamic interdependence between all the elements existing on our planet and beyond.

Science must stop suggesting theses and theories alien to reality, uselessly spending public money, creating technological instruments of death, pollution and mental speculation but it mainly must stop providing false solutions to contingent problems that, as far as we can see, do nothing but create new ones.

We want a culture that might, first and foremost, give testimony of the evolution of Man and not be falsified and instrumentalized by corrupt historians who only highlighted certain aspects of human reality and not others, thus depriving us of the possibility of understanding what really happened in the cultural evolution of Mankind.

We want an economic order that might meet Man's essential needs, capable of offering everybody the possibility of becoming "enriched" especially in terms of serenity so as to free all human beings from the need of essential goods that, as we all know, represents a hindrance to the cultural and mental development fit for a developed and civilized society.

We want a political organization of the world of labour in consideration of the creative potential of Man, of the physiological diversities between women and men, of the need to abolish all forms of alienation determined by the repetitivity of certain jobs that could easily be automated thanks to advanced technology.

In synthesis, we want work to become the creative expression of every human being. It should continuously foster the growth of humanity in a way that is directly proportional to the bio-psychological and existential evolution of Man.

We are now aware of the fact that Man's biological and cultural ontogenesis shall have to be given political, cultural and scientific consideration in compliance with the principle whereby a child already encloses the potentialities of the will-be adult and old man. These potentialities expound the intrinsic values of human dignity of which the individual will become aware as soon as the socio-cultural conditions gradually make their expression possible.

It is therefore the duty of the institutions to make sure that these potentialities develop at normal physiological rates. In order to achieve this, consideration should be given to the fact that a child, at birth, totally depends on his environment: all the incoming information to his brain lays the grounds for what his personality will turn out to be. It hence becomes necessary to promote actions aimed at avoiding children from having the characteristic distorsions that we all too well know in ourselves, the so-called adults. These distorsions are to be quickly removed from wherever they might have taken root, otherwise once an adult, Man will become nothing else but their reflection, the only difference being that an adult man's distorsions will cover a scope of action that is directly proportional to the physical and cultural potential he will have acquired during his growth. It is Man's flaws, distorsions and deviances that grow into adults but not Man himself.

We want a world without geopolitical boundaries. We want the sky free not only of pollution but also of the claims of ownership advanced by the arbitrary powers of the different nations.

We want human conscience to move freely about the planet, in full respect of anything it comes across along its path. This actually mirrors the physiology of the planet. Natural geophysical boundaries are inversely proportional to Man's creative capacity to overcome them. No man shall ever put up artificial barriers along another man's path towards evolution.

We want to be able to admire the seas in all their beauty and strength. We want to enjoy the life they engender and be in harmony with all the laws of Nature.

We have only now understood the damage and wounds we have caused in that which engendered us (Nature) and that nonetheless still keeps us thriving.

Let us put a stop to our ill-doings, to our egoism, to our arrogance and conceit and let us start as of now taking responsible action aimed at gaining "forgiveness" from the Earth, the seas and the skies for our mistakes thus allowing us to try to remedy the damage to the extent possible through science and our collective conscience.

This is what we want as what we have now come to know shapes our conscience which "obliges" us to take transparent and legitimate action aimed at collaborating in the effort made to regain human and social values and to repair the planet's ecological system.

We know that it will only be through our joining forces that we will be able to overcome existing barriers and observe with an expert eye all the phenomena produced by the present worldwide unbalance.

We shall make proposals for political, scientific and cultural actions; we shall create international committees comprising experts in all the fields of knowledge; we shall generate a science that might thoroughly study Man in relationship with his environment and we shall foster Man's natural evolution; we shall appeal to top-ranking international experts asking them to become consciencious and responsible, co-operate in finding a solution to global problems and rebut any attempt made to "bribe" them into taking any action against human dignity; we shall muffle the statements made by a few who dominate the world and who think they are entitled to buy anything as they in fact say that every man has a price.

Finally, we shall be citizens of the world, pioneers of a global society, free from the bonds of near-sighted teachings that obliged us into thinking ourselves superior to others, to the extent of pushing us into armed battle to prove our superiority in all possible fileds from politics to science, culture and technology.

We no longer want to rank first; we no longer want to be superior to others, We want to be Man and compete with our fellow-Man only and exclusively in creating a way of life in which everybody might feel motivated to live his own existence free from the sorrow, anxiety and tragic situations which we and our forefathers were compelled to bear.

The foregoing declaration shall not merely be the last of a long series as we have understood that the problems relating to the world arise from the gap that exists between theory and practice, awareness and action. From now on, we shall adopt only those ideas or principles that can immediately be put into practice and that might give rise to dynamic results that confirm the principles with facts. Of course, every result must have beneficial repercussions on Man's standard of living and on his psychophysical and spiritual integrity.

A sense of anguish pervades us when we think that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with the adhesion of almost all the nations of the world, is still now, after forty years, pure theory and is only demagogically referred to when it is useful in achieving ends that are in contrast with the essence of its contents. We have analysed the aforesaid Declaration in order to single out the reasons that have hindered its application and we found blatant blunders that hamper the implementation of an operating strategy (political, pedagogical and psychological), errors that undermine any chance of enforcement. In fact, Art. 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights reads as follows: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards each other in a spirit of brotherhood". As can be easily noticed, although this statement is valid in principle, in practice it does not objective elements in it which necessarily makes it inapplicable from a human and social standpoint.

We deem it of utmost importance to analyse the different aspects quoted insofar as Art. 1 already represents the first obstacle in the application of all the other articles. Let us begin by specifying that no human being is born free and that he unfortunately does not have equal dignity and rights as the rest of Mankind and that he is not endowed with reason and conscience and, consequently, cannot act towards others ina spirit of brotherhood. The above-mentioned Art. 1 theoretically contains the essence that gives life to human beings but are they, on their part, aware they are as such a theory defines them to be? Or do political rulers, legislators or men of science know about it? Thence, where is the Man defined in Art. 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to be found? It consequently becomes obvious that if this man does not exist, he is to be "created"; is this, perhaps, what the Universal Declaration is pointing to? If this is the case, then we should start asking ourselves who is to do it as the only thing that Governments have learned to do is creating constrictions of all kinds and unending limitations to fundamental liberties; and it is with these means that they think it possible to educate the populations and simultaneously respect basic human rights. What major contradiction underlies all this? How is it possible to define a socio-political situation of this type as democratic? So, at this point, we have to ask ourselves once again what came first the egg or the hen, democracy or "homo democraticus", the Declaration of Human Rights or Man with his rights?

We must therefore now analyse who this Man is and how to give him a physiological conscience in compliance with
1) his genetic configuration,
2) his psychological development,
3) his being in society.

A child is born with a basic genetic heritage that generates a brain ready to develop a human and creative ingenuity capable of outperforming the creative potentialò of past generations. The social and family environments ignore the existence of this potential thus putting them in the condition of "doing violence" to that brain to the extent of enslaving it to anything that surrounds it, and forcing it into repetitive mental situations that are alienating for the individual as from the moment of his birth. So it is from the day of his birth that a child is subjected to a long ordeal as he is meant to become an adult on the basis of the dictates issuing from the disequilibria that surround him. This is the situation that a human being faces at birth; his growth is bound to modify him and make him adjust to this environment. What conscience can therefore take shape in human beings if, as a matter of fact, the so-called civilized societies live so schizophrenically in an unending competition between parents and children, teachers and students, the State and its citizens?

It will be up to us to make public institutions understand how to change present educational methods. We shall have to better analyse and single out the basic health conditions that might foster the development of biological life on earth; we will further our studies on the conditions of alienation that exist in the world of labour; we will assess the planet's water resources and the environmental situation at large; we shall probe into the hidden sides of economy so as to find a way of implementing the programs and projects aimed at redressing the ecological and social equilibria that are at present unbalanced.

We shall proceed to do all this in consideration of the fact that, otherwise, our lives will lose their meaning. if we do not take action, it would be like allowing that we be slowly killed by the growing global unbalances (both environmental and social) that are gradually poisoning our water, air, food and, last but not least, our minds.

The foregoing Declaration is the expression of our goodwill engendered by the suffering of our conscience and marks the creation of an International Organization totally tending to Women and Men and their natural and social rights.

We adopt the following Statute to regulate the said Organization.
