Club of Rome’s
Initiative for ECO-92 EARTH CHARTER (excerpts)
1. THE PRESSING NEED
Insufficient progress has been
made in population reduction. The immediate reduction of world population, according to
the mid-1970's recommendation of the Draper Fund, must be immediately
affected. The present vast overpopulation, now
far beyond the world carrying capacity, cannot be answered by future reductions
in the birth rate due to contraception, sterilization and abortion, but must be
met in the present by the reduction of numbers presently existing. This must be
done by whatever means necessary.
Faced with stubborn obstruction
and day-to-day political expediency which make most of the leaders of the most
populous poor countries unreliable, the issue is compulsory
cooperation. Compulsory cooperation is not debatable with 166 nations,
most of whose leaders are irresolute, conditioned by localist "cultures," and
lacking appropriate notions of the New World Order. Debate means delay and
forfeiture of our goals and purpose.
The U.N. action against Iraq
proves conclusively that resolute action on our part can sway other leaders to
go along with the necessary program. The Iraq action proves that the aura of
power can be projected and sustained and that the wave of history is sweeping
forward.
CONFIDENTIAL
THEREFORE THE FOLLOWING POLICY
MUST BE IMPLEMENTED:
A. The Security Council of the
U.N. led by the Anglo-Saxon Major Nation Powers, will decree that henceforth,
the Security Council will inform all nations that its sufferance on population
has ended, that all nations have quotas for population reduction on a yearly
basis, which will be enforced by the Security Council by selective or total
embargo of credit, items of trade including food and medicine, or by military
force, when required.
B. The Security Council of the
U.N. will inform all nations that outmoded notions of national sovereignty will
be discarded and that the Security Council has complete legal, military and
economic jurisdiction in any region in the world and that this will be enforced
by the Major Nations of the Security Council.
C. The Security Council of the
U.N. will take possession of all natural resources, including the watersheds and
great forests, to be used and preserved for the good of the Major Nations of the
Security Council.
D. The Security Council of the
U.N. will explain that not all races and peoples are equal, nor should they be.
Those races proven superior by superior achievements ought to rule the lesser
races, caring for them on sufferance that they cooperate with the Security
Council. Decision making, including banking, trade, currency rates and economic
development plans, will be made in stewardship by the Major Nations.
E. All of the above constitute
the New World Order, in which Order, all nations, regions, and races will
cooperate with the decisions of the Major Nations of the Security
Council.
The purpose of this document is
to demonstrate that action delayed could well be fatal. All could be lost if
mere opposition by minor races is tolerated and the unfortunate vacillations of
our closest comrades is cause for our hesitations. Open declaration of intent
followed by decisive force is the final solution. This must be done before any
shock hits our financial markets, tarnishing our credibility and perhaps
diminishing our force.
