[GMW #2632] Establishing Human & Nature's Rights For Future Generations


[GMW #2632] Establishing Human & Nature's Rights For Future Generations Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3029 ~   

The general conference of UNESCO deserves congratulations for opening a new chapter of human rights:  the rights of future generations.  It is circulating a Draft Declaration of the Responsibilities of the present generation towards future generations.  It provides for the safeguarding of vital aspects of life and well-being of future generations including "freedom of choice in political, economic, social, cultural and religious matters; maintenance and perpetuation of humankind and life on Earth; protection of the environment, bio-diversity, the human genome and the common heritage of humankind; preservation of cultural diversity and heritage, peace development, education and non-discrimination".

I hope that these human rights of our descendants will be given high priority on the agenda of world affairs.

Collect, produce your own coffer of pearls filled with happiness.  This is what I have done with my life.  And I have reaped untold joys.

Landfill Harmonic: An Orchestra Like No Other

A cello made from an oil can and pieces of wood thrown in the garbage; a saxophone made of spoons and buttons. These are the instruments crafted by Nicolas, a recycler with no previous experience making musical instruments, living hand-to-mouth by the garbage dump in Catuera, Paraguay.

Inspired by this initiative and creativity, Maestro Luis Szaran, director of "Sounds of the Earth," formed a "recycled orchestra" with children living at the dump. "Our main goal isn't to form good musicians, but to form good citizens."

Now 30 members strong, listen to the breathtaking sounds of these recycled instruments and the hopes and dreams of the children who play them. { read more and watch the film }

[GMW #2630] Universal Duty Of Nations To Solve Conflicts Only With Peaceful Means


[GMW #2630] Universal Duty Of Nations To Solve Conflicts Only With Peaceful Means Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3027 ~   

In Ideas 301, 418, 1214 and 1785 I speak and reproduce some of several declarations of human duties and responsibilities known to me.  I think that a Universal Declaration of Duties and Responsibilities should now be drafted and adopted by the United Nations as was the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1949 which had a deep impact on human history since then.

Two duties should be considered in such a declaration:

- the duty of nations to solve conflicts exclusively with peaceful means and not to train and force their citizens to kill other human beings in wars.

- the duties of nations not to keep stockpiles of nuclear arms, the use or accidental activation of which would kill innumerable humans and destroy vast segments of our vital nature.

Work on your internal life and radiate your happiness externally.
Work on your external life and enrich your internal happiness.

The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating.
The paths are not to be found, but made.
And the activity of making them
changes both the maker and their destination.

[GMW #2629] Volunteer World Servants Nurturing A Better World


[GMW #2629] Volunteer World Servants Nurturing A Better World Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3026 ~   

My example and that of a number of other retired world servants of the UN and of International Organizations who donate their services to new ventures like the UN University for Peace in Costa Rica has given birth to this wonderful idea: Maurice Strong, the new President of the University for Peace intends to create near the university a Village of Peace for retired world servants who would continue to work for peace and a better world part-time or full-time with or without salary.

Maurice Strong also intends to create near the University for Peace a World Center for Inner Peace, another wonderful idea.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,  
Volume II  Chapter2  Of Happiness
When Norman Cousins wrote the Preface of my book on happiness, he became fascinated with the effects of happiness on health.  Today the subject is being seriously studied at Harvard University where they discovered and proved scientifically that the decision to feel happy has very beneficial effects on the whole body.  At long last, science is looking into a fundamental recipe, known to every mother, peasant and indigenous people on Earth.

[GMW #2628] Dreams A Basic Genetic Evolutionary Human Function Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500

"Tell me what are your dreams and you will tell me who you are."

Perhaps this is our real biological function to be performed by each generation and by every human person.  Dreams might be a basic genetic evolutionary human function.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3024 ~   

Given the magnificence, the miraculous diversity and astonishing forms of life of our planet's nature we humans should be their servants and not their destroyers.  How in heaven can we allow a species to disappear every five hours when it took millions of years to create that species?

The Earth Charter drafted by the Earth Council must be accompanied by the urgent creation of a World Court of Nature where the rights of nature will be upheld.

As I wrote this on sacred Mt. Rasur in demilitarized Costa Rica I heard Mother Earth say to me:

"Dear Robert, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Vulnerability: The Key to Emotional Intimacy
She may not be a household name just yet, but when you refer to "the woman who talks about vulnerability," the seven million viewers of her TEDTalks videos know you mean Brene Brown. A research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, Brown has been studying shame, fear, and vulnerability for 12 years. She has presented her findings in three books, on national television, and in lectures across the country. A mix of no-nonsense Texan and best-friend warmth, Brown shines a light into the inner chambers of our hearts -- and illuminates a reason to hope." In this interview with Spirituality & Health Brown also shares four traits of shame-resilient people. { read more }

[GMW #2626] Strengthen Justice With Novel Forms Of World Justice Idea Dream -Robert Muller's Ideas 1501 to 2000

I recommend to the heads of states a thorough review and strengthening of the International Court of Justice.  All existing, planned and recommended novel forms of international justice should be urgently considered in a World Conference on Justice.

Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 3500
~ Idea 3022 ~   

It is reported that the militaries of certain nations are testing new secret weapons which would damage or destroy the environment of other nations, e.g. beams to the ozonosphere to create holes in it above an enemy nation thus letting infra-red rays go through and create cancers.  Several others are being developed in this new field of environmental weaponry.  I recommend:

1. That this subject be urgently placed on the agenda of the United Nations.

2. That the United Nations create an inter-governmental committee and a Secretariat Unit in charge of reporting on all facets of this new form of armaments and taking proper action against them.

3. That these new forms of armaments which may endanger and damage peaceful countries and the entire Earth be brought as criminal actions before a greatly strengthened International Court of Justice or a special new World Court of Justice against armaments and military crimes.

WORD FOR THE DAY
Most of us look at our ideals, say how far we are from them, and get depressed.

But it is heroic simply to say, "Here are my ideals,"
state them before the world,
and then spend your life trying to live up to them.
