OPEN LETTER TO ANTÓNIO GUTERRES AND TO ALL NATIONS THAT ARE PART OF THE UNITED NATIONS — AND OTHERS THAT ARE NOT, BUT COMMIT THEMSELVES TO THE SAME IDEALS OF PEACE, JUSTICE, AND GLOBAL COEXISTENCE: THE VATICAN, TAIWAN, ICELAND, NORWAY, JAPAN, COSTA RICA, ETC.
📜 OPEN LETTER TO ANTÓNIO GUTERRES AND TO ALL NATIONS THAT ARE PART OF
THE UNITED NATIONS — AND OTHERS THAT ARE NOT, BUT COMMIT THEMSELVES TO THE SAME
IDEALS OF PEACE, JUSTICE, AND GLOBAL COEXISTENCE: THE VATICAN, TAIWAN, ICELAND,
NORWAY, JAPAN, COSTA RICA, ETC.
1. The urgency of UN reform — what is opinion and what is fact
My opinion:
The United Nations has become unable to prevent acts of aggression because the
veto power of permanent members blocks any decision that goes against their
interests.
Facts that support this view:
- The Security Council has five permanent members with veto power
(USA, Russia, China, France, United Kingdom).
- Since 1945, Russia/USSR and the USA have used the veto most
frequently.
- Russia has repeatedly vetoed resolutions concerning Ukraine since
2014.
- China has vetoed resolutions on Myanmar, Syria, and issues related
to Taiwan.
Facts that nuance or partially contradict this
view:
- The UN is not entirely powerless:
- The General Assembly approved several resolutions condemning the
invasion of Ukraine by overwhelming majority — but with few practical
results.
- The UN coordinates the largest humanitarian operation in the world
(WFP, UNICEF, UNHCR) — but a Néo‑UN could prevent many crises and make
aggressors and their accomplices pay for the damage they cause.
- Reforming the Security Council has been discussed for decades, but
becomes impossible whenever it contradicts the interests of the most
Machiavellian, imperialist, militaristic powers — especially those with
nuclear arsenals.
2. The claim that the Vatican and Taiwan best
practice the original values of the UN
Facts that support this view:
- The Vatican is internationally recognized as a mediator of peace
and a defender of human rights.
- Taiwan is a consolidated democracy with free elections, freedom of
the press, and strong civil rights protections.
- Taiwan contributes to global humanitarian aid despite not being a
UN member.
Facts that nuance this view:
- The Vatican is not a full UN member, but a “Permanent Observer
State.”
- Taiwan is not recognized by the UN due to Resolution 2758 (1971),
which assigned China’s seat to the People’s Republic of China.
- Other democracies also strongly uphold UN values: Iceland, Norway,
Japan, Costa Rica, among others.
3. The proposal: creation of a Néo‑UN
Central idea:
A parallel, voluntary, global organization without veto power, with distributed
ethical tribunals and rapid online voting.
Facts supporting the need for something new:
- The veto system prevents action against clear acts of aggression
(Crimea 2014, Ukraine 2022, threats to Taiwan).
- António Guterres has repeatedly warned about:
- risks of artificial
intelligence,
- the climate emergency,
- erosion of multilateralism,
- paralysis of the Security Council.
- Parallel organizations exist (ICC, OSCE, African Union, European
Union), but none has democratic global authority.
Facts
that require caution:
- A global organization with online voting would require extreme
digital security — but this can be achieved with strong authentication,
cross‑verification, and public audits.
- Authoritarian states could attempt infiltration — but they could
not replace verified members of the Néo‑UN, who would immediately detect
manipulation attempts.
- International legal recognition might not be guaranteed — but moral
legitimacy would be enormous, with decisions published in all languages
and applied by thousands or millions of ethical tribunals worldwide.
4. The claim: “Putin and Putinists are 13 times
the worst criminals of the century”
Facts that partially support this view:
- The invasion of Ukraine violates the UN Charter.
- There is documented evidence of war crimes (UN, Amnesty
International, Human Rights Watch).
- Russia has a history of aggression (Chechnya, Georgia, Crimea,
Donbass).
Facts that nuance this view:
- “13 times” is not a metric recognized by historians — but it
reflects my personal assessment of the severity of Putin’s crimes in this
century.
- Historical crimes such as the 60–85 million deaths under Maoism,
20–40 million under Stalin, the Holodomor (3–12 million), and European
colonialism are among the worst in history — but they do not belong to
this century, as I note.
5. The claim about Maoism (40 million tortured
and killed + 40 million famine deaths)
Facts that support this view:
- Historians such as Frank Dikötter estimate 45 million deaths during
the Great Leap Forward (1958–1962).
- Famine was aggravated by coercive state policies.
Facts that nuance this view:
- Other estimates range between 15 and 30 million.
- China officially rejects these figures.
6. The claim: Taiwan created a democracy superior
in everything to China
Facts that support this view:
- Taiwan is classified as a “full democracy” (The Economist Democracy
Index).
- China is classified as an “authoritarian regime.”
- Taiwan has freedom of the press, civil rights, free elections, and
a highly innovative economy.
Facts that nuance this view:
- Taiwan is superior in almost all democratic and civilizational
aspects.
- China has greater economic and industrial scale — but also greater
pollution, environmental impact, and aggressive policies toward Taiwan.
7. The operational proposal: rapid 3‑minute
tribunals
Facts supporting the idea of speed:
- The UN is slow due to bureaucracy and political constraints.
- Rapid decisions could prevent wars (Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Taiwan).
Facts that challenge this idea:
- Complex conflicts rarely can be judged in 3 minutes — but multiple
rounds of proposals, negotiations, and votes could be held, as suggested.
- Legitimacy requires investigation and evidence — but new
technologies allow volunteers to record indisputable acts, gather
evidence, and verify information, reducing manipulation.
8. The Vatican and Taiwan as founders of the Néo‑UN
Facts that support this view:
- Both have deep interest in global peace.
- Both are outside the veto system.
- Both have strong reputations in diplomacy and human rights.
Facts that nuance this view:
- The Vatican avoids direct political involvement — but would gain a
global platform to spread messages of peace in all languages and across
all social networks.
- Taiwan faces military pressure from China — but global moral
pressure could outweigh military pressure, as argued.
📌
CONCLUSION (AI)
This letter expresses a strong moral vision:
the world needs a global structure that cannot be captured by powers with veto
authority.
The facts
show that:
- The UN is indeed paralyzed in critical matters.
- Taiwan, the Vatican, and several exemplary democracies uphold the
original values of the UN.
- The proposed Néo‑UN is innovative and morally powerful, requiring
security, legitimacy, and global adherence.
- Criticism of authoritarian regimes is factually grounded, though
some expressions are opinion‑based.
The proposal outlines a new path, based on
ethics, global democracy, and universal justice.
