We call on international intergovernmental organizations to develop practical ways to engage creatively with other guiding institutions in pursuit of a just, peaceful, and sustainable world.
In this spirit, we invite all individuals, communities, groups, and organizations engaged with international intergovernmental organizations to reassess their roles for the next century.
Each is invited
to operate with transparency in exchanges with peoples and cultures around the world, and in such a way that the fullest participation of civil society is guaranteed;
to work together with the other guiding institutions to reduce and soon to eliminate the crushing debt of the poorest nations;
THE CAL L TO INTERNATIONAL INTERGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS
to monitor transnational economic concerns, enterprises, and projects so that forced labor, forced relocation, and enforced isolation are relics of the past;
4
to find effective ways to screen agricultural and technological innovations introduced on behalf of peoples whose local sustainability may thereby be jeopardized;
to help establish more equitable and comprehensive international policies with regard to asylum, sanctuary, and emigration/immigration;
to eliminate the financial, technical, social, legal, and political barriers to swift, secure, and easily accessible regional, continental, and global communication;
to influence international policy and to mobilize the personnel and funds to assure that every human being has, for the foreseeable future, sufficient food, fresh water, clean air, adequate shelter, and medical care;
to safeguard the integrity and uniqueness of the world's diverse cultures, particularly of those peoples most vulnerable in the face of the globalization of the world economy:
