World Poverty
Unless
a reasonable standard of living and true democracy are quickly
extended to all the poor and oppressed peoples of the world,
there may be large-scale destruction by terror weapons including
bio-engineered disease.
In
December, 2001, on the one hundredth anniversary of the
Nobel Prize, one hundred Nobel laureates stated that the
most profound danger to world peace in the coming years
will stem not from the irrational acts of states or individuals
but from the legitimate demands of the world's dispossessed.
They added:-
Of
these poor and disenfranchised, the majority live a marginal
existence in
equatorial climates. Global warming, not of their making
but originating with the wealthy few, will affect their
fragile ecologies most. Their situation will be desperate
and manifestly unjust.
The
Global Justice Movement (GJM) includes YOU,
your group, all people of faith in all religions and, simply,
people of good faith. Upholding the core
concept of Inclusive Justice, it is based on the willingness
of people to agree the main ideas, and agree to disagree
on the rest. In this way we can focus on progressing the
important things. Thus, by working with each other, the
chances of individuals and groups achieving THEIR aims are
much better than if they pursue their aims alone.
Global
Justice contains powerful, radical and specific
policies on which all people of good faith can agree. Those
policies provide the basis for a new, stable, just, global
monetary system which: -
|
•
addresses poverty and rich-poor divisions
• focuses on the real, productive, economy
• protects the environment
• enables individuals and societies to control
their own destiny
• ends the exponential increase in debt now
threatening to engulf the world.
Remember
– the world has the technology and productive
resources to eliminate misery, poverty and injustice
and save the planet. So
let’s demand the Five Justices!
