Global Citizenship

Urgent and massive reform of international institutions is key to resolving global problems and preventing catastrophic threats. These reforms should be made by a democratic process. That will first require global citizenship and the global rule of law. As long as the system of national sovereignty (the rights of nations) reigns supreme over the need to protect human rights, adequate reform will not happen. Not without catastrophic pain and suffering of the majority population within nations forcing the governments to change.
