World Party Declaration


Drafted by Mr Toshio Suzuki, World Party Japan

Declared and Adopted at the World Party Convention

Accra, Ghana, 12 August 2011
Preamble

This is the declaration declared at the World Party Convention held in Ghana in August 2011. World Party is an international party dedicated to the establishment of World Federation and World Government. Here, the World Federation is a worldwide federation of independent countries and the World Government is the central government of federation.

We are World Citizen. We the people heartily hope world peace and human happiness. We believe that our duty is to establish the world democracy. Our basic policy is to establish World Federation and World Government. There are three principles of World Party as shown below.

1. The first priority is the benefits of world as a whole or the benefits of society as a whole. Benefits of party come after that. If the world becomes better, our country will become better. If our country becomes better, our life will become better.

2. There must not be lie with regard to the policy of World Party.

3. There must not be corruption in the World Party. We must be strict with regard to fund.

In the following part, declarations and vision are stated in terms of international affairs and domestic affairs in each country. The declaration shown here has been authorized by the World Party Convention. This authorization is the base of authority of World Party and each branch of World Party. This authorization enables World Party and each branch to get the support of people.

International Policies

Basic benefits of World Federation and World Government are are follows.

1. World Federation and World Government can reduce or prevent the war, and so the destruction by war is reduced or prevented.

2. World Federation and World Government can reduce the military expenditure.

3. Fluctuation of exchange rate will be removed because the World Central Bank will issue the international common currency.

World Government which we aim to establish is concerned with only limited aspects of society. Namely, in principle, it is concerned with only the administration of military force, the issuance of currency, and other political and economic problems that individual country cannot solve alone. Other aspects of society such as religion, political and economic system like liberalism or communism, industry, agriculture, commerce, science, arts, sports, tradition, and so on are left free to each country. Politics and religion are divided in the World Party. Religion is recognized as a private matter and so any religion is allowed in the World Party.

World Party has one branch in each country. World Party is the International Secretariat of each branch. World Party has no personal member. Members of World Party are branches in each country. Branch of each country has personal members.

Basic policy of each branch of World Party must be same as that of World Party. Here, basic policy is to establish World Federation and World Government. But, each branch can have its own policy. Therefore, each branch can declare either the liberalism or communism. Namely, a branch of World Party in one country can declare the liberalism and another branch in another country can declare the communism. Politics and religion are divided in branches also.

At present, World Federation and World Government do not exist. So World Party is aiming to establish the World Parliament without legislative power like European Parliament. Process to establish World Federation and World Government is shown as follows.

As shown above, each country sends delegates to the World Parliament and the delegates are apportioned in proportion to population. Total number of seats is basically 1,000. The World Parliament in the initial stage is a consultative assembly without legislative power. If the Parliament functions well, it will get the legislative power and enact the World Constitution. World Party has a branch in each country. Branch in each country promotes the policy of electing the delegates for the World Parliament. Seats of each country are apportioned in proportion to population, and method of calculation is shown in a table below.

Source of statistics of population is the statistics of United Nations. The date of statistics is June 2009. This statistics is used until World Party Convention in August 2011. World population is 6,829,297.0 thousand, of which China has 1,345,751.0 thousand, India has 1,198,00 3.3 thousand, USA has 314,658.8 thousand, Japan has 127,156.2 thousand, and Assumed Country has 1.0 thousand. Total number of delegates is basically 1,000 and the seats are apportioned in proportion to population. So, in case of China, votes are 197.0556. In this case, the first decimal place is zero. So, it is rounded down and the adjusted votes are 197.000. So, the official delegates are 197. In case of India, the votes are 175.4212 and the first decimal place is not zero. So it is rounded up and the the adjusted votes are 176.000. And so the official delegates are 176. In cases of USA and Japan, the adjusted votes are calculated similarly. In case of Assumed Country, population is 1.0 thousand. So, vote is only 0.0001. This is rounded up to 0.001. So, this country can send a delegate with 0.001 vote. By this measure, all the votes are classified into 4 classes, 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001. Furthermore, there are some conditions for participation in the World Parliament.

1. Delegates to World Parliament have to be directly elected by people. If delegates are sent without election, they are not accepted as official delegates. They can attend as observers.

2. Delegates from each country must get registered to the international secretariat of Parliament as a delegate to Parliament at least one year before the opening of Parliament. But the registration for participation in the Parliament is accepted even on the day of the Parliament.

3. A country can have registered delegates three times as many as the number of seats in the Parliament. For example, if the seats of a country in the Parliament is 10, the country can have 30 registered delegates. From among these 30 delegates, the country can send 10 delegates as the official delegates.

4. If there are problems in the registered delegates, other country can object to the registered delegates. For example, if a registered delegate was not directly elected by people, other country can object to it. The number of votes of objection depends on the number of votes of registered delegates of each country. If the objection reaches 5% of total votes of registered delegates, the objected delegates must get the recognition from other countries. The recognition can be got in two ways. One is to get the recognition at the World Parliament. Another is to get it by document. In the former process, the objected delegates can get the recognition when more than half of effective votes recognize the objected delegates. In this case, abstention is not counted. For example, if the number of votes are 1 hundred and 49 are in favor, 48 are against, and 2 are abstention, the recognition is not more than half of total votes. But if the abstention is not counted, the recognition is more than half.

5. The vote of delegate cannot be entrusted. Namely, only attending delegates can have the vote. So, if a country that has 10 votes sends only 5 delegates, the votes of the country are 5.

6. Total vote of a country is, at the maximum, 20% of total votes of attending delegates. For example, if attending delegates are 50 and delegates from one country are 30, the votes of the country is 60% of total votes. But the effective votes of the country are 50 x 0.20 = 10.

There is a definite reason why we have to establish the World Parliament. World Parliament is a place for discussion. Development of technology such as airplane, engine, electricity, computer has been contributing to the civilization. But, in a sense, discussion by people is much more important than the technology. In the primitive age when there was no agriculture, it seems that people were very poor. But they could live somehow. In the feudal age when there was agriculture, most people were poor but there were some surplus in the society as a whole. Namely, although there was no professional soldier and no landlord in the primitive age because society was too poor, there was some surplus and so there were professional soldiers and landlords in the feudal age when there was agriculture. Professional soldiers and landlords do not produce the necessities of life. So there must be surplus in a society as a whole when they exist. For example in Japan in the Edo Period (1603-1867), there were Samurai and landlords. Samurai was professional soldier of Japan in feudal age. Thus, even in a society where people are cultivating land and carrying loads with cow or horse, there is surplus in the society as a whole. This means that if all people are good people and they solve all the problems by discussion, there is no war and no poverty even in a society where people are cultivating land and carrying loads with cow or horse. But, in the present age, technology is incomparably high as compared with the feudal age, war has not been eradicated yet. So, we can say that technology is important for human happiness but discussion by all people is much more important. So, if we want to make world better, we must try to solve problems by discussion. This is the reason why World Parliament is necessary. Actually, development of technology has been raising our income. But we can say that development of technology is useless for world peace if there is no place for discussion like World Parliament.

Which is better, the League of Nations or the United Nations? In a sense, United Nation is an improved version of League of Nations. But there is, at least, one example that shows that League of Nations is better. In 1931, Japan invaded Manchuria. Manchuria is located in northeastern China and the area is about three times as large as that of Japan. Chinese Nationalist Party appealed to the League of Nations and the League dispatched the the Lytton Investigation Committee to Manchuria. The league, considering the report of committee, passed a resolution with 42 (in favor), 1 (objection by Japan), 1 (abstention) that Japan should withdraw from Manchuria. But Japan withdrew from the League and this led to the war against USA from 1941. On the other hand, at the United Nations, there were some cases that shows the defect of United Nations. The most serious problem is that USA, the most powerful country in the world, does not respect the United Nations. For example, in 2003, USA invaded and occupied Iraq without the resolution of United Nations. USA insisted that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. But actually, Iraq had no such dangerous weapons that threatens the happiness of American people. It is said that the true reason was to secure the oil deposit that was the second largest in the world. USA must respect and follow the resolutions of United Nations. There are many problems in the world politics. Ignorance of United Nations is one of the most serious problems. United Nations did not passed the resolution that USA should withdraw from Iraq. It seems that the veto was the basic obstacle for this resolution. Thus, at least, with regard to resolution on the Manchurian Incident and Iraq invasion, we can say that League of Nations is better. So we must establish World Parliament.

Also eradication of poverty must be considered. People could live even in the Primitive Age. In the present age, technology is incomparable with that in the Primitive Age. But, still, there are poor people. Basically, poor people are poor because they cannot get a job. So, employment must be provided. World System of World Federation and World Government can improve this situation.

Domestic Policies

Afghanistan and Iraq

On 11 September 2001, four jetliners attacked World Trade Center, Pentagon, etc. About 3 thousand people were killed by this attack. US government judged this to be the attack by Al-Qaeda that was an Islamic warrior group staying in Afghanistan. In October 2001, USA and some other countries implemented air raids on Afghanistan and occupied it. Furthermore, in March 2003, USA and other forces attacked Iraq and occupied it. USA insisted that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction . These two attacks were conducted without the resolution of United Nations. Since then, Afghanistan and Iraq have been occupied by USA and coalition forces, and suicide attack by Islamic warriors sometimes happens. It is said that at least 900 thousand people have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq since the attack by U.S. troop and coalition forces. USA attacked these countries without resolution of United Nations. This is very bad. But, suicide attack by Islamic warriors is also bad. Like the attack on 11 September 2001, suicide attack to other countries give reason for occupation of a country where suicide attackers are staying.

World Party recommends nonviolence and disobedience. Mahatma Gandhi led India to independence by this method. Since the independence of India in 1947, India has been an independent country. Here, we should think why Afghanistan and Iraq were attacked and occupied while India is not attacked and occupied. Needless to say, India has nuclear weapons and this is one of the reasons for independence of India. But it seems that nonviolence and disobedience are the essential cause of the perpetual independence of India because India got the independence by the policy of nonviolence and disobedience without the nuclear weapons. The policy of nonviolence and disobedience is named Mahatma Gandhi Initiative. This policy is one of the basic policies of World Party.

China

Present China is growing in many aspects of society. Especially, economy is growing steadily. It seems that the most serious problem in China is the situation of politics. Politics in China is dominated by the communist party. In the future, multiple parties should be allowed to promote the democracy in China. World Party China is very beneficial for China because the seats in the World Party Convention is in proportion to population although one country can have up to 20% of total votes of attending delegates. Political party that cooperates internationally can promote the democracy in country where the democracy is difficult because people in the world gather and form a party. World Party recommends Chinese people that China should admit the multi-party system.

Japan

At present, in Japan, the most serious problems in politics and economy are that Japan may return to the militarism if the U.S. troop withdraws from Japan and that national finance of Japan is going bankrupt. Especially, the second problem is going to happen soon. The basic cause of these two problems is in the Emperor System.

With regard to politics, there is a fear that Japan may return to the militarism. In the period from around 1930 to 1945, Japan was under the militarism and the Emperor was at the top of regime. We must not forget the history of war. In 1931, Japan invaded Manchuria. This is the Manchurian Incident. China appealed to the League of Nations, and in 1933, the League passed a resolution with 42 in favor, 1 against (Japan), and 1 abstention that Japan must withdraw from Manchuria. But Japan withdrew from the League. On the other hand, in Japan in 1932, Prime Minister Tsuyoshi Inukai was murdered by young navy officers. This is 5-15 Incident. Prime Minister Inukai was elected democratically. But he was murdered. This incident terminated the infant democracy of Japan. In 1936, 2-26 Incident occurred. About 1,500 army soldiers carried out a coup and killed some important politicians. Participants of these incidents were punished but these incidents destroyed the democracy of Japan. Japan proceeded to the militarism. After these incidents, virtually, prime minister was appointed by the military authority. These incidents are past history, and now Japan is democratic and economy is prosperous. But this situation has been maintained under the existence of U.S. troop. If U.S. troop leaves Japan, the political situation is same as that of period of militarism. Namely, incident like 5-15 Incident and 2-26 incident can occur. So, Emperor System must be abolished and the president system must be introduced. But, even if the Emperor System is abolished, it is possible that the Emperor continues to exist as the head of a religious corporation.

With regard to economy, bankruptcy of national finance occurred sometimes in the history of Japan. In that age, Japan was ruled by Shogunate and the head of Shogunate was appointed by Emperor. For example, in the Edo Period (1603-1867), Shogunate had to issue the order to bilk the debt. In present Japan, national finance is going bankrupt. Debts of government are about 200% of GDP of Japan. So, in the near future, government of Japan will have to take measures such as stopping redeeming national bonds. Bankruptcy of national finance is due to the traditional politics of Japan. Namely, Emperor is hereditary, and so privileged people around Emperor make the economy go bankrupt. In the feudal age, privileged people around Emperor were Samurai, feudal warrior of Japan. In the present age, privileged people around Emperor are government officials. Officials of ministry of finance make the budget of national finance Japan. This budget is the cause the bankruptcy. In order to prevent the bankruptcy of national finance, Emperor System must be abolished and the president system must be introduced.

Thus, in order to solve above two problems, Emperor System must be abolished and the president system must be introduced. If Emperor System is abolished, better authority is necessary. If there is no authority, domestic conflict cannot be settled. Namely, Japan may fall into the state of anarchy. World Party Declaration can give the authority to the World Party Japan. This is because the Declaration is declared as the joint statement of all the branches of World Party. Thus political party which cooperates internationally can be an authority better than the Emperor System.

North and South Korea

Needless to say, North Korea and South Korea were one country before World War II. So, nation is same in both countries. North Korea is an independent country and no foreign troop is staying. If North Korea is invaded, China will assist North Korea. Recently, North Korea developed nuclear bomb. On the other hand, South Korea is also an independent country but U.S. troop is staying. In this situation, it is clear that Korean peninsula will be ruled by North Korea if U.S. troop withdraws from South Korea. Korean people hope unification of Korean peninsula but people in South Korea do not hope the unification by the force of North Korea.

In this situation, United Nations can play its role. United Nations should make a roadmap for unification of Korean peninsula. In this roadmap, leaders of North Korea should be exempted from any punishment for crimes and their status and asset should be secured to some extent. U.S. troop continues to stay in South Korea but must not advance to North Korea. Under these conditions, election of President of unified Korea should be conducted. These can b carried out under the observation of United Nations.

Somalia

Somalia has many natural resources, and the resources attract many foreign forces. Somalia has no proven oil reserves. But it is said that the reserve of oil is second only to Sudan. And also Somalia has untapped reserves of natural resources such as uranium, iron ore, tin, gypsum, bauxite, copper, salt and natural gas. Companies from abroad are exploiting these resources. Somalia got independence in 1960. But armed clash has never been eradicated yet. Especially in 1991, civil war broke out, and Somalia enter the situation of anarchy. The United Nations forces intervened in Somalia. But 19 American troops and more than 1,000 civilians and militia were killed in October 1993, and the United Nations forces withdrew in 1995. Now, there are many conflicts including piracy.

In this situation, how will be the role of World Party Somalia? World Party Somalia will get the support of people because it is an international political party. Somalia needs an political party with solid authority.

USA

USA is the most powerful country in the world. Politics is democratic and economy is the biggest in the world. Its role in the international society is great. But international policy of USA has some serious problems. The most important problem is that USA does not respect United Nations. Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. are examples. USA carried out air raids to these countries without the resolution of United Nations. With great power comes great responsibility. The most powerful country in the world does not respect United Nations. This is a heavy crime. If the most powerful country in the world respects the United Nations, other countries cannot ignore it. World Party recommends people in USA to respect and follow the resolution of United Nations. World Party is not the enemy of USA. World Party wants to be a true friend of USA. So, World Party recommends the best policy to be taken in the international society.

Venezuela

Venezuela got the independence in 1821. Venezuela experienced some coup d'etats since then. Economy of Venezuela is dominated by the production of petrol. The revenue from petrol accounts for about a third of GDP, about 80% of exports, and more than half of government revenues. It is said that the corruption is a very serious problem. Now it is under democracy under the administration of Hugo Chávez. But he was the leader of coup d'etat, and the politics is not perfectly stable.

In this situation, World Party Venezuela can play an important role to establish the solid democracy.
