A HUMAN
MANIFESTO
This document was first
published in 1972 by Planetary Citizens Registry (no longer in
operation) as a full-page ad in the New York Times. The inspiration
for this document was initiated by UN Secretary-General U Thant.
The Association of World Citizens
has gathered a new list of prominent personalities as endorsers
for the reissue of this document. A Human Manifesto is a message
of hope and vision in this time of violence and war.
Publication of the Manifesto
is the first phase of our Global Peace Campaign. The second phase
will be a major peace conference scheduled for San Francisco
in late 2003 with the title: "Creating a World Beyond Terrorism
and War." Many of the endorsers of A Human Manifesto will
participate.

A
HUMAN MANIFESTOHuman life on our planet
is in jeopardy.
It is in jeopardy from war that could pulverize the human habitat.
It is in jeopardy from preparations for war that destroy or diminish
the prospects of decent existence.
It is in jeopardy because of the denial of human rights.
It is in jeopardy because the air is being fouled and the waters
and soil are being poisoned.
It is in jeopardy because of the uncontrolled increase in population.
If these dangers are to be removed and if human development is
to be assured, we the peoples of this planet must accept obligations
to each other and to thee generations of human beings to come.
We have the obligation to free our world of war by creating an
enduring basis for world peace.
We have the obligation to safeguard the delicate balances of
the natural environment and to develop the world's resources
for the common good.
We have the obligation to place the human interest, and human
sovereignty above national sovereignty.
We have the obligation to make human rights the primary concern
of society.
We have the obligation to create a world order in which man neither
has to kill or be killed.
In order to carry out these obligations, we the peoples of this
world assert our primary allegiance to each other in the family
of man.
We declare our individual citizenship to the world community
and our support for a United Nations capable of governing our
planet in the common human interest.
The world belongs to the people who inhabit it. We have the right
to change it, shape it, nurture it.
Life in the universe is unimaginably rare. It must be be protected,
respected, cherished.
We pledge our energies and resources of spirit to the preservation
of the human habitat and to the infinite possibilities of human
betterment in our time.
