Let's fix our countries! Let's Fix our world! (LFC-LFW)
Let's fix our countries together!
Let's fix our world together!)
We want to learn with - and from - each other how to improve our countries and world order so that all can live in dignity and not just a minority of our one human family. To move forward in this, we can use our new opportunities: The Internet, foreign language skills, and as intermediaries, migrants. We want to promote North-South networking, South-South networking, and the networking of people of the different great powers. We have started to meet for this purpose. This is the report of the first meeting, the next one will take place on February 15 at 7 pm (time in Germany). You can join us through this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3216854044
Basic understanding:
A world in which not everyone lives in a humane way is not humane and has no future: injustice is the basis for discord, justice the basis for peace.
Almost 100 years ago, after the world economic crisis and world wars, the states decided in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to see themselves as a worldwide human family. They promised to work together to ensure that all members of the one human family worldwide could live in dignity. In the UN Social Covenant and the UN Civil Covenant, the states legally committed themselves to realizing these goals: equal rights worldwide for all to life, food, health care, education, housing, freedom of expression, work and social security. In doing so, they wanted to create the basis for a peaceful world, for all conflicts to be resolved only by peaceful means, no longer by violence and war.
States have not complied with international law, have not put it into practice. The rights of billions of people are not respected by privileged minorities who have arranged the world only for themselves. We no longer accept this, but are looking for ways to enforce and implement these rights for all.
We need good representatives in politics and business. But we have also learned that trust is good, control is better. We can only be sure that we will get our rights if we ourselves understand the context and have the opportunity to participate in decision-making. Our network wants to contribute to the fact that as many people as possible want to and are able to do this themselves.
We network in order to learn with and from each other, as is possible in each of our countries and also in their external relations of the states and on a global level.
We want to examine the living situations and the possibilities to improve living conditions. For this purpose we can and want to exchange information and opinions internationally and support each other.
We see ourselves as a non-partisan and party-independent citizens' network, in which we educate ourselves and seek dialogue with politicians, especially representatives in local, regional, national and continental parliaments. With these institutions we want to achieve measures for better living conditions.
Internet, level of education, foreign languages, migration give us greater possibilities for this organization of cooperation today than any generation before us ever had. Building a world for all is more possible today than ever before, but it is also more necessary than ever before, given the looming climate catastrophe, nuclear weapons, the ever-widening gap between rich and poor, and the spread of war and violence.

We are rarely informed about these rights of ours. In order to stand up for them, we should study them in depth and make them known,
here are the documents:
States must no longer use war and violence to settle their conflicts and must support each other to create social security for all as a basis for peace in all countries (Art. 55-56):
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted only as a declaration of intent: Universal Declaration of Human Rights | United Nations
But its parts did become legally binding through two treaties:
UN Social Covenant - International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
Prof. Dieter Senghaas has derived a model from history that shows the conditions for peace and can well serve as an orientation for people who want to create peace:
It is consistent in its conclusions with our international rights according to the above documents.
