Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1045 ~
21 May 1997

At the end of the conference of indigenous people at the University for Peace I rejoiced to remember that in the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People being drafted by the United Nations, it is foreseen that no indigenous people can be drafted in a national army or military service, and that no armaments can be placed on their territory.  This will represent a total of 300 million people on this planet outside of military reach, and a substantial territory of the surface of the planet disarmed.  I hope that more rights of the indigenous people over their former lands will be recognized and that people will donate in their wills land to the indigenous people for its preservation.

Volume II Chapter 13 - Of Speaking
Commenting on a high United Nations official who had a bad reputation, U Thant's daughter said to me:
"When this man was appointed, I asked my father what he thought of him, but he remained silent.  That meant that he was not happy with the appointment.  But he would not say anything, because he would never speak badly about any human being.  Silence was as far as he would go to mark his disapproval."
Perhaps he felt that he should not disapprove what the universe was doing.  That there was a reason.
