Time to Vote out the UN Security Council and move the UN Headquarters to India or Switzerland. Reason bing that the Security Council is now an Imperialist tool. See Iraq+Cote D'Ivoire+Libya+Syria and now Palestine.
STATEMENT OF WORLD SPIRITUAL LEADERS ON THE UNITED NATIONS
ORGANIZATION AND WORLD PEACE ON THE OCCASION OF THE SO-CALLED UN
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE ON 21ST SEPTEMBER 2011
The United Nations has lost its entire credibility by endorsing and
facilitating wars in the name of peace and democracy instead of
protecting human life thus allowing nations to be attacked on the
basis that might is right in recent wars such as Iraq and Libya.
After the devastation of the second world war the United Nations, like
the League of Nations before it, was intended to be a means to avoid
future conflicts of this nature by giving all nations on earth a say
in international affairs.
Unfortunately, the power structure put in place at the time defeated
this laudable objective and allowed the permanent members of the
security council to pervert the mandate of the UN in order to
legitimize their imperial wars. Peace remains as elusive as it did
when the UN was founded.
The majority of nations on the globe are victims of the colonizing
policies of the victor nations after the second world war. Since the
political structure of the UN has proven to be inept in bringing peace
to the world, the nations of the world require a new moral focus in
which the world's major religions play a leading part. We believe that
only moral and religious guidance and inter-religious dialogue can
save the world from the brink of disaster.
The power assumed by the security council to dictate to nations around
the world must be taken away and sovereignty returned to the general
assembly or a similar body, if the UN structures prove impossible to
reform.
As people of faith we call upon the general assembly of the United
Nations and upon each and every nation individually to issue a vote of
no confidence in the Security Council and the current UN governing
structure and to make every effort to bring about a more meaningful
and principled body for guiding world affairs towards peace.
We also join with Dr K A Paul in his call to move the UN Headquarters
to the nation of India, which is the world's largest democracy and the
land of Mahatma Gandhi who showed us the path of peace leading the way
for others such as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela so that wars
can be stopped, billions of innocent people can be saved, peace can be
promoted and security, stability, democracy and justice can be
assured.
