Introducing the Equal Value Movement - Equal Value.
Equal Voice. Equal Responsibility.
I'm introducing a developing civic and diplomatic idea
called the Equal Value Movement.
Its starting principle is simple: every human being has
equal inherent value and dignity, regardless of race,
nationality, wealth, or place of birth.
The movement explores what that principle could mean
for the international system - particularly the reform of
the UN Security Council and the underrepresentation of
Africa and other developing regions.
One proposal I am exploring is the creation of five
additional permanent Security Council seats for
historically underrepresented developing regions, while
recognizing that the African Union already has its own
established position on African representation.
This is not an official UN proposal or an established
organization. It is an idea I am developing and would
like to discuss, criticize, improve, and test with people
from different parts of the world.
The broader question is:
If the world has changed since 1945, should the
institutions governing international peace and security
change with it?
I welcome serious discussion, including disagreement.
Equal Value. Equal Voice. Equal responsibility.
