1. WORLD PEACE AND THE UNIVERSAL CONFRATERNIZATION
Fernando Alcoforado *
The United Nations states that January 1 is the Day of Universal Confraternization and
of the Peace. This date should be a time of deep reflection for humanity and conclude
that it´s necessary to have control of their destiny fighting for a democratic governance
of the world for the construction of world peace that should be pursued urgently
because the current situation of the planet is dramatic. Humanity feels overwhelmed by
the major powers in the service of monopoly groups that run their economies and do
everything to defend their interests, disregarding laws, cultures, traditions and religions.
Invasions in peripheral countries, openly or surreptitiously, with unconvincing
arguments are part of the daily life of the great powers in its relentless pursuit for world
power even if they have to disregard domestic laws and international treaties.
What will be the end of our world and our lives, if the world today has become an
unmanageable chaos in which the human beings only think about power and wealth and
destroy nature? Can a man be called a most intelligent on Earth? An intelligent being
would preach war and jeopardize their future and their descendants? It's what they do
today with our world by destroying for money and killing for wealth and power. The
lives no longer worth anything, nothing has value, all for power and wealth! World
history is largely a history of wars, because we live in the States born of conquest, civil
wars or struggles for independence. The earliest historical records that are known
already speak of wars and struggles.
Wars and revolutions have grown in an unprecedented scale, both in quantity and
intensity in the twentieth century without parallel in history. The wars of the twentieth
century were "total wars" against combatants and civilians without discrimination. The
twentieth century was without doubt the most murderous of which we have record, both
in scale, frequency and length of the war as well as the by the only volume of the human
catastrophes it produced, from the greatest famines in history to systematic genocide.
Since the end of World War II the world has known wars when 160 died about 7 million
soldiers and 30 million civilians. All "mega deaths" occurred since 1914 reached a total
of 187 million dead.
Wars are still part of our daily lives as shown by the conflict between Russia and
Ukraine that the purpose of the Western powers let evidenced (US and EU), together
with Ukraine, to weaken the geopolitical position of Russia that seeks to regain global
role before exercised by the former Soviet Union and the insoluble Palestinian question,
which has existed since the end of the 1st World War when the victorious powers
contributed to the occupation of Palestine by the Jewish people and facilitated the
creation of the State of Israel at the expense of the Palestinian people, which contributes
for the Palestinian people and Jew live in permanent war. The recent military
intervention in the Middle East completes the current situation of conflict in the world.
In addition to the aforementioned conflicts, humanity is faced with two major threats.
One of an economic nature, is represented by the general crisis of the world capitalist
system that tends to lead the world economy to depression with the failure of
governments, the crash of companies, mass unemployment and even the outbreak of
civil wars and new world conflagration as has happened in the twentieth century with
the 1st and the 2nd World War. Another threat, environmental, is represented by the
depletion of natural resources of the planet, the overcrowded cities and the catastrophic

2. global climate change that tends to produce serious consequences for humanity. The
current global crises (economic, financial, ecological, social, political and development
of illegal and criminal activities) show that they are insoluble without the existence of a
world government.
