| Design of a possible flag for a United Mankind Organisation |
The United Nations Organisation has been in existence since the end of the Second World War in 1945. It has still not achieved the goal it set itself back then of "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war" (Preamble to the UN Charter). Its history is also a succession of failures in other endeavours.
This is because the United Nations is in fact not united. The organisation should not be described as completely useless. However, its member states make it impossible to realise its full potential. Excessive sovereignty and nationalism, national egoism and the desire for supremacy are the biggest obstacles. This is currently getting worse. Plans for a reform of the United Nations are being prevented or are coming to nothing. This makes it impossible to solve the great problems of our time. Without unity, we are threatened with ruin.
It is time to think about a new world organisation. It should not focus on nations, but on people as part of mankind. It should not compete with the United Nations, but complement it.
It is time for a new vision and a new initiative.
