A global democracy may be the purest possible structure advancing the best interests of humanity and reflecting the equal value of all people, structurally neutral in all respects.
Our core principles are introduced under “We Need a Global Democracy” above.
As discussed under “Constitutional Guarantees to Protect Rights” above, additional global constitutional rights will include those enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), except with the following edits to indicate that human rights supersede those of countries, to protect marriage equality across genders, and to provide for liquid democracy:
- Article 8: strike “national”;
- Article 13(1): strike “within the borders of each state”;
- Article 13(2): add “enter or” before “leave any country”;
- Article 14(1): strike “in other countries”;
- Article 15 becomes irrelevant, but need not be stricken;
- Article 16: add “, gender” after “nationality”, in Article 16;
- Article 21: replace “of his country” with “of his or her locality and of the world”; add “or proxies” after “representatives”.
(Since the UDHR is a well-known public document, we refer to it here without including its full text.)
