The disappointment comes closer. What comes after?
Preparations for the ‘UN Summit often the Future’, which is to take place on 22 and 23 September in New York, are in the final spurt. You don't need to be a clairvoyant to tell you that none of these wishes will come true. There may be some promises that are then celebrated as a great success, but experience has shown that they are not realised or come to nothing. I have already expressed this several times in my articles.
What will it be like after the summit, when everyone involved has realised the results? Will the NGOs continue to run nicely in the hamster wheel of the UN system? Or will some finally come to the realisation that things can't go on like this? Is it time for a new approach, time for a new world organisation alongside the United Nations? A world organisation that actually represents humanity and not the nations?
It wouldn't have to be many at first, but if some of the disappointed NGOs took the initiative to start building the United Mankind Organisation, it would be a start. Such a project is of course huge, but it can start small. The NGOs do not have to give up their previous activities within the framework of the UN. One does not exclude the other. But they would then have a second track that would stabilise their work considerably. Thanks to their experience in many coalitions, they also have the necessary connections. And who other than civil society would be better suited to represent the interests of humanity?
