The Human Codes of Tolerance and Respect   Look for men and women of excellency, encourge them, foster them, and give them lasting support in every way.Cultivate and inspire elities in our democracies which do not simply enjoy privileges but are willing to assume social responsibilities.   The greatest danger confronting our world is moral relativism   We should not adopt but rather shape reality- networking a better and safer world with imagination.   Let`s start a new global progressive foreign policy to promote democratic developments and to get rid ...   Freedom is the foundation for knowledge, development, and progress. Powerful countries are developed because they are free.   Only a genuine reconciliation policy between societies can bring about a true and lasting peace and lay the foundations of eternal peace between former enemies.   Isolate the negative elements from the peaceful open-minded majority in the Islamic World.   We need a new NATO Double-Track decision consisting of two equally important columns: military containment and an active dialog with the Islamic cultures.   For each conflict we need a holistic formula for peace based on diplomacy plus power plus reconciliation.   Beijing and the Pope gain from the establishment of diplomatic relations   Broader Middle East Nations and societies in the "Broader Middle East" should overcome secular schism, seek a kind of enlightment and regain momentum to reach the exsellent scientific, moral and economic of the "Glory past".   Americas / USA A new U.S. foreign policy is needed including: brilliant strategies, imagination and creativity, excellency ...   China Beijing could recognize three advantages through new diplomatic relations with the Vatican   Europe Give more power to the European Parliament, including the election of “European Government”.   India Improve your governance and administration, fight corruption, wage more decentralisation and privatisation, improve your ecucation system.   Iran Stop the development of Weapons of Mass Destruction   Iraq Three Strong Federal States Comprised of Kurds, Shiites and Sunnis Are Needed Now in Iraq with a Division of Oil Income - or a Bloody Civil War Is Unavoidable   Islamic States A New NATO Double-Track Decision on Terrorism and Dialogue with Islam Is Needed   Israel / Palestine Israel, Palestine and its Arab neighbors need common values, interests and goals: Peace is possible !   NATO For the European NATO countries it is intolerable to spend 61% what the US spends but only achieve 10% of the US power projection capacit. The issue is not to spend more but to spend in a way that produces real European power projection capabilities.   Koreas Both countries should mitigate the tensions and aim for a re-unification as a free and democratic entity   Russia Russia has to realize the vital importance of further democratic development. It has to revive its own democratic traditions.   Terror Terrorism is a menace for mankind and should find a world wide coordinated response   Democracy Don't ever ask "What's in for me?" Instead, ask "What is good for my country?"   Human Rights Cuban dissidents should follow Estonia’s example of establishing a “Free Parliament” in exile with the support of the EU.   Peace and Conflict We must welcome tolerant patriotism, while containing and combating nationalism and chauvinism.   Religion and Politics The understanding that reconciliation heals memory is crucial for the achievement of true peace between ...   Tolerance China should enhance individual freedoms, religious and cultural tolerance and protection of minorities.   UN UN must adjust the Charter and the structure to the "new world"   © 2010 WorldSecurityNetwork | info@worldsecuritynetwork.com
