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 p...

Neo-volunteers for the UN, peace and a better world

(Excerpt from the full version in Portuguese: https://pef1mm.blogspot.com/2025/06/neo-voluntarios-para-onu-paz-e-mundo.html). After the Second World War, (1), the world has never been so close to a nuclear war that could destroy the planet 5 times over, and have devastating consequences for the entire world, (2). The best way to end all wars will be a democratic UN, with more power, commissions preceding each conflict and international courts with more power than those that already exist. We can all volunteer to give more power to the UN, to international courts, to avoid a nuclear war and an arms race like there was after the Second World War. At the UN before António Guterres, not even the greatest philanthropist in the history of humanity, Bill Gates, could be a volunteer. With António Guterres, UN volunteering is better, but it still has many limitations and bureaucracy. I propose new forms of “neo-volunteering” where you don’t need to be rich, even the poorest can volunteer, you d...

Trump-Putin peace for Ukraine or Zelensky-Antonio Guterres and the UN?

(Excerpt from the Portuguese version: https://pef1mm.blogspot.com/2025/03/paz-de-trump-putin-para-ucrania-ou.html). “The ‘Road to Peace’ resolution was adopted by a majority…” at the UN: https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/02/1845391. But what are the results of majority approval? Does the majority count for little at the UN? Wouldn't a global UN democracy with more online moral, political, judicial, police, economic and military powers be essential for the peace of Ukraine and the world? I imagine that a future global democracy of the UN will be possible, with thousands of specific courts for each conflict, with more power for the International Criminal Court (ICC), with daily decisions based on the most basic common sense of justice: whoever causes immoral and unjust harm must compensate the victims and society. Many national laws cause evident Machiavellian international crimes against humanity, for the most basic common sense of justice of the best democracies. Let us imag...

UN Global Democracy for a Just Peace by António Guterres in Ukraine and the World

I know of no better way to contribute to a just peace in Ukraine and avoid future wars than a global democracy of the “UN” or a “Neo-UN”, new, in continuous evolution, with global ethics, a good sense of justice and more moral, political, police, legal, judicial and military power. International contracts, such as the one to respect the integrity of Ukraine and its borders in exchange for Ukrainian nuclear weapons received by Russia, are valid for Putin like the agreement between Stalin and Hitler to divide Poland: they are valid only as long as it is in their interest. No one better than the Secretary General of the UN, his current or future organizations, can guarantee compliance with international peace treaties, if they have more moral, political, police, legal, judicial and military power. I suggest that the UN create many more efficient and powerful courts, similar to the International Criminal Court (ICC), specifically designed to prevent each conflict before it degenerates into...

UN-Globaldemokratie für António Guterres‘ gerechten Frieden in der Ukraine und der Welt

Ich kenne keinen besseren Weg, zu einem gerechten Frieden in der Ukraine beizutragen und zukünftige Kriege zu vermeiden, als eine neue, sich ständig weiterentwickelnde globale „UN“- oder „Neo-UN“-Demokratie mit globaler Ethik, einem gesunden Gerechtigkeitssinn und mehr moralischer, politischer, polizeilicher, rechtlicher, juristischer und militärischer Macht. Internationale Verträge, wie etwa der über die Achtung der Integrität der Ukraine und ihrer Grenzen im Austausch für ukrainische Atomwaffen, die Russland erhält, sind für Putin dasselbe wert wie das Abkommen zwischen Stalin und Hitler über die Teilung Polens: Sie gelten nur, solange es in ihrem Interesse ist. Niemand kann die Einhaltung internationaler Friedensverträge besser garantieren als der Generalsekretär der UNO oder seine gegenwärtigen oder künftigen Organisationen, sofern diese über mehr moralische, politische, polizeiliche, rechtliche, gerichtliche und militärische Macht verfügen. Ich schlage vor, dass die UNO viel meh...
