World Citizen Update

If you want world peace, says 84-year-old peace activist Garry Davis, it starts with your claim to world citizenship first and foremost. "We, the people, are the ultimate source of sovereignty," he writes in the opening email to his vast internet list. The nation-state leaders, he claims, "are on the wrong level."

His latest book,* World Peace Starts With You! can be downloaded for $9.95 at http://www.worldpeaceisyou.com.

The 34-page book makes the case for personal world peacemaking with graphic explanations of world law--biological and conceptual--, a modern history of how world citizenship evolved, why human rights and world territory are corollaries, the new global concept of political asylum, the documentary proof of being a human, why world government is neither domination nor illusory but eminently serviceable and already in practical use through its issuance of documentary evidence--based on fundamental human rights--such as the World Passport, World Birth Certificate, World Citizen Card, World Political Asylum Card, World Marriage Certificate and World ID Card.

"Whole libraries are filled with books about world peace," says the former B-17 bomber pilot, "but none relate this problem directly to the individual's initiative or action. Yet the opposite of world peace is obviously world war which concerns every person on the planet. So shouldn't we, the world's people, have the choice between the two?"

Davis founded the World Government of World Citizens in 1953 following the registration in 1949 of over 750,000 individuals in over 50 countries as "citizens of the world" in the International Registry of World Citizens in Paris. "This claim was the exercise of personal sovereignty," he maintained, "from which all governments derive."

The mandate for the claim of global citizenship, he adds, was provided by article 21(3) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 10, 1948: "The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government..."

World Peace Starts With You! is a "How to..." book which includes application forms for world citizenship avowal and registration with the World Service Authority(R), the service organization or "global city hall" of the new government. Also included are forms for applying for the World Passport (based on Article 13, UDHR) which has been upgraded to conform to modern norms of identity documents, world birth certificates, world political asylum certificates, world marriage certificates and world (picture) IDs.

Testimonials and quotes from past and present notables about world government, humanity and world peace including Einstein, Tom Paine, Stafford Beer, Horace Mann and E.B.White, etc. complete the timely contents.

For a download sale, Davis includes a free bonus of his 1988 US presidential candidate speech at Middlebury College, VT in which he presents his global political platform. Present-day politicians as well as national voters would be well-advised to check it out given the potential of a global holocaust using nuclear weaponry.

A final section outlines the programs and activities of the World Service Authority, headquartered in Washington, DC.

An "Affiliate" program for the resale of the book is included for those readers who wish to pass it along to their friends. The internet banking facility, Clickbank, provides a free membership to service this profitable program.
