Each war led
to a clamor for peace and order that resulted in a World Court, The
League of Nations and the United Nations. The efforts at planet-wide
united action for peace and disarmament were paralleled and supplemented
by the growth of specialized public services for communication, travel,
scientific interchange, arms limitation. They were further augmented by
a spectacular expansion of trade, travel, capital investment and
scientific research and interchange.
Events since war's end in 1945 have marked out the steps which the human
race might take in the immediate future to deal with the new problems
arising out of the world revolution of 1750-1970 and to stabilize human
life on the planet.
Step 1. Revise the United Nations Charter to make all citizens
of member nations also citizens of the United Nations
and therefore under its direct jurisdiction.
Step 2. Delegate to the United Nations authority to levy taxes
or otherwise provide its own income.
Step 3. Call a planet-wide convention of delegates from all
nations, authorized to draft a world federal constitution
and submit it for ratification by all member
states.
Step 4. When approved by two thirds of the states represented
at the constitutional convention the constitution
so adopted would became the basis for world
law and the administration of world affairs.
Step 5. Inaugurate a world government that would be responsible
for maintaining and promoting peace, order,
stability, justice, equality of opportunity and general
welfare at the international level.
