As a matter of fact, in terms of total resources and
economic wealth, our world can easily accommodate
the entire world's population. Yet, selfishness, material
ambitions, conflicts of interests, lack of love, compas-
sion and kindness is causing the sufferings of millions
of innocent people.

It is critical that the UN, the author of the Con-
vention on Human Rights, should watch over these

people and ensure that their rights are protected, espe-
cially during these days. It is unacceptable that the UN
settles with remarks of condemnation when violence
against civilians are reaching historical levels. There are
even arguments that the UN has now become a rather
symbolic institution, mostly focused on legislating the
interests of a few powerful states. The world expects
great things from this important institution. It is never
too late to once again assume the mission of protecting

human rights as an urgent and corrective step.

Our world needs a brand new system of love, com-
passion and peace. Let's take this opportunity to once
again rise up and work for a world worthy of human
dignity, for a world of peace, love and happiness; for
a world of justice and perfected human rights.
