Chapter 10: Towards the World Commonwealth

3. Deconstruct the United Nations.

3.6. Non-bureaucratic management

Fifth, the management system mainly run by diplomats should be abolished.  

Currently, the representatives of each country at the UN are UN ambassadors, who are diplomats dispatched by member states, but as a result, the UN is run mainly by diplomats, and together with its own bureaucratic secretariat, it forms a UN bureaucracy. 

On the other hand, the World Commonwealth General Assembly, which is the highest decision-making body of the World Commonwealth, is the World Commons' Convention itself, which is also a transnational organization of Commons' Conventions-hence its official name is the World Commonwelath General Assembly - World Commons' Convention.

As a general rule, one delegate of the World Commonwelath General Assembly shall be selected by the Commons' Convention of each zone. Through this, the will of the people in each zone is indirectly reflected in the appointment of delegates. 

At the same time, in order to promote smooth discussions and resolutions in the World Commonwealth as a world community, small-scale zones promote integration with surrounding zones (joint zone), and from the joint zone, in principle, only one joint delegate from the joint zone may participate in the General Assembly on a rotating basis.

On the other hand, civil society organizations (including a wide range of medical, welfare, and academic organizations) that enter into observer agreements with the World Commonwealth are authorized to send observers to the World Commonwealth General Assembly and Councils, and to participate in discussions and make comments.

Moreover, the bureaucratic secretariat function must also be broken down. As mentioned above, positioning the Five Grand-zonal Representatives Conference, as a permanent responsible body of the World Commonwealth is part of this effort. 

The duties of the Secretariat are limited to practical assistance to the General Assembly and the Five Grand-zonal Representatives Conference, and coordination among other organs of the World Commonwealth. The Secretariat itself is not a principal organ like the UN Secretariat, and its Executive Director does not have any political voice.


3.7. Promotion of economic integration

Sixth, economic integration should be increased.  

Although the current Economic and Social Council of the UN is a principal organ, it hardly functions effectively in relation to economic issues; rather, specialized agencies such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank have become dominant as the control tower of international capitalism. 

On the other hand, when it comes to global environmental issues, which the UN considers to be an urgent issue, the UN itself does not have a major organ, and only the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) exists as a subsidiary organ of the General Assembly.  

In contrast, from the perspective of environmental sustainability, the World Commonwealth will establish the Sustainability Council as an principal organ with jurisdiction over both environmental and economic policies, and as its specialized body, will establish economic institutions such as the World Economic Planning Organization to promote global economic integration toward global communism. On the other hand, the Social and Cultural Council, which has jurisdiction over health and education, will be a separate principal organ.


3.8. Strengthening the human rights protection sector

Seventh, the human rights protection sector should be significantly strengthened.  

In 2006, the UN established the Human Rights Council as a new subordinate body of the UN General Assembly in an effort to improve its human rights protection sector to a certain extent, but no independent human rights review and enforcement body has been established and the enforcement system for human rights treaties remains inadequate. The UN' s general recommendations, which are non-binding, are often openly ignored by states parties to human rights abuses.  

In contrast, the World Commonwealth will establish the Board of Human Rights Review and Enforcement as a major independent institution and strengthen the human rights guarantee system through human rights review of individual cases with enforcement power based on various human rights treaties.

Furthermore, if the human rights violation reported to the Board of Human Rights Review and Enforcement falls under the category of a crime against humanity, the Board will establish the Special Humanitarian Tribunal based on the decision of the Board to clarify the full details of the crime against humanity and sanction those involved. 


3.9. Improvement of Earth observation system

Eighth, a scientific earth observation system should be developed.  

In recent years, the UN has been actively working on the issue of climate change, but because it does not have its own permanent observation organization, the prestige of its official environmental scientific views is still wavering. 

In contrast, the World commonwealth will set up "Global Environmental Observatories" at key locations, staffed by geoscientists from all over the world as full-time or advisory staff, so that they can always provide prestigious environmental scientific knowledge to the whole world, and can carry out constant fixed-point observation of the global environment.


3.10. Renunciation of war on a global scale

Ninth, we must renounce war on a global scale, and as material guarantees for this, we must abolish armaments and standing armies throughout the world.

Of these, the former main issue will be discussed in the next section due to the scale of the problem, but here I will touch on the latter related issue.  

Traditionally, space exploration has been carried out competitively between the United States and the Soviet Union since the Cold War era, with military considerations attached to it, and even today, after the end of the Cold War, the race for space exploration by technologically advanced countries has combined national interests with economic considerations.  

However, under communism, outer space, including other celestial bodies, belongs to no one any more than land and natural resources on Earth. Space outside the atmosphere cannot even be said to be the common property of Earthlings, much less should it be a battlefield. 

Still, since space exploration itself is a matter related to the common academic interests of Earthlings, the World Commonwealth as an organization responsible for peaceful space exploration, will integrate space research institutions that are currently separated by each country and establish the World Commonwealth Space Agency.
