In the
excellent design of the United
Nations System of President Roosevelt, with institutions and specialized programs in food
(FAO), health (WHO), labor (ILO), education, science and culture
(UNESCO), childhood (UNICEF)... he emphasized the United
Nations Program for Development (UNDP) because of
the importance of the resources and the widespread support. Three key words to guarantee a supportive
future that would allow a dignified life for all in the corresponding countries of
origin:
to share
to
cooperate
to
engage
The Constitution
of UNESCO proclaimed in 1945 that “humanity should be guided by the democratic principles" ... and through
education should ensure that all human beings are “free and responsible” and
equal in dignity.
Gradually, the
aids became loans under draconian conditions, international cooperation became
exploitation, the World Bank "for Reconstruction and Development"
lost his surname to be a tool for the most prosperous countries ... and,
moreover, the neoliberals Reagan and Thatcher changed the ethical values by the
stock markets, the United
Nations by plutocratic
groups (G7, G8, G20) and placed the World Trade Organization directly outside
the scope of the United Nations.
The result is obvious: an economy of speculation, production delocalization and war (I am never tire of saying that every day more than 3 billion dollars are spent on weapons and military expenditures while approximately 20,000 people are starving, mostly children from one to five years), a drastic reduction in development aid, overfilled tax havens, trafficking of all kinds in the midst of the greatest impunity at the supranational level, deterioration of the habitability of Earth...
Luckily, most
recently, the voice of the people can be
heard by the extolled because
of digital technology; human beings -unless ridiculous exceptions-
feel progressively world citizens; and
woman, isolated for centuries
by male absolute power, begins to participate with
the inherent and distinctive faculties,
in decision-making...
Now, as we have seen in the terrible
case of refugees and migrants,
it has been the cry of the people and
their open arms that have made radical changes in the closed-minded and opaque attitude of the
leaders. Now, in
short time, the organization
charts of power that seemed immutable have been disrupted.
Now, admired and dear “El Roto",
“We, the peoples...” will be the ones who will answer to your fantastic drawing of
September 19 in “El País”, as
recently replied to the child Aylan in the
Turkish beach Hoca Ali Burnu.
Thank you. With calls to popular
consciousness like this, the bent paths will straighten and a genuine democracy
at national, regional and global levels will be consolidated.
Thank you.
