Our world is under the immediate existential threat of generalized warfare and economic destruction affecting billions of people, including the possibility of nuclear war, and thus the  possible annihilation of the human species. It is therefore extremely urgent to establish a new “Security and Development Architecture for All Nations,” which must take into account the interest of every single nation on the planet. 

The present war in Europe, the succession of wars in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, and the spread of famine and disease, have already killed millions of innocent people and destroyed their homes, their livelihood, and their future. The COVID-19 crisis continues to remind us that all life on Earth is interconnected, interwoven, and interrelated. We must focus on sustainability and inclusion to improve the condition of our planet and our people. For this, our mission is not only to stop such self destructive motion but to organize all the conditions for peace and  prosperity based on the common aims of mankind. We must design a new paradigm, a new order, which focuses on the needs of our  planet and our people, to take humanity to the next level.

Behind the immediate danger of war is the already ongoing blowout of the trans-Atlantic financial system. A hyperinflationary process has been unleashed globally, which is a serious concern for the economies of the Western nations. The controllers of this system are quick to resist any functioning alternative to their system, such as that presented by Russia, China, India, or others. The present  financial system is being used to perpetuate the colonial state of  underdevelopment of the developing sector with Malthusian policies. Therefore, to stop this drive leading to war and destruction, it is necessary to establish an entirely new economic and financial paradigm, with an integrated approach to security, economy, and development of all nations.

The Peace of Westphalia is our reference point. Not only did it establish the Benefit, Honor and Advantage of the Other and the perpetual Oblivion, Amnesty, or Pardon of all that had been committed; it further included a financial reorganization of all countries participating in it. It sorted out and settled insolvent and illegitimate debt and financial claims, mostly by debt annulment or negotiated rescheduling. It also established the role of the state in the reconstruction of nations after the war.

International law in the interest of all people was developed from the Peace of Westphalia, which finds its most advanced expression in the UN Charter, which must be absolutely upheld in the New  Paradigm. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Ten Principles of the 1955 Bandung Conference and the Five Principles  of Peaceful Coexistence all contain ideas which are universal and  remain valid for the promotion of peace, development, and cooperation in the world.

The world order that was designed after World War II gave birth to  the UN, World Bank, IMF, NATO, WTO, WHO, and other such  institutions. These institutions proclaimed their focus on democracy, human rights, capitalism, consumption, and military alliances, and for the most part functioned for 75 years. Their shortfalls, however, were in not fulfilling FDR’s promise of the Bretton Woods System  as he designed it to increase the living standard of the developing  sector and end colonialism. It is time to redesign the world to take advantage of hyperconnectivity and a new paradigm to deliver on basic human needs, inclusivity, new economy, durable survival, and  peace for all.

We are deeply convinced that peace can only be achieved by  drastically reshaping the world economic system in order to embody this outlook. Such a new vision of the world, in conformity with the  best impulses of the past, mandates choosing durability, inclusivity, and connectivity against the prevailing order of geopolitical domination and moral humiliation of the weak.

We hold this Conference to invite, engage and inspire leaders with vision, character, capabilities, courage, and commitment to communicate, cooperate, collaborate, and co-create toward unity, justice, democracy, sovereignty, and human development, sticking to their pledges instead of submitting to the international rules-based order focused on Power and Profits. It is a matter of life or death to stop the “Doomsday Clock” before it strikes midnight.

This new vision, to create a new global platform and to take  humanity to new heights, is specified in great detail in the proposals of the renowned American economist Lyndon LaRouche, based on what he called his Four Laws:

• The immediate enactment of the Glass-Steagall law instituted by U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt with no modification and this time globally, putting the entire speculative financial bubble  through bankruptcy reorganization, to prevent the looting of human labor and lives.
• The return to a system of top-down and thoroughly defined National Banking, as specified by the first U.S. Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, and later by those that he inspired in the creation of successful development systems.
• The associated credit system to generate high productivity trends in improvements of employment and the quality of labor, with the accompanying intention to increase the physical-economic productivity and standards of living of persons and households.
• A science-driver nuclear fusion crash program to promote the  discovery of new physical principles and fundamental  breakthroughs in science, so as to generate the most advanced forms of development with the highest energy-flux densities.

The online conference will begin with a plenary session and include  leading speakers from Europe, U.S., Russia, China, India, and  Africa: Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Ambassador Anatoly Antonov, Sam  Pitroda, Jay Naidoo, Chen Xiaohan, Alessia Ruggeri and Ambassador P.S. Raghavan. It will be followed by three individual sessions on Economy, Security, and Development, with distinguished speakers from all over the world: Prof. Justin Lin, Dr. George Koo, Saeed Naqvi, Princy Mthombeni, Jacques Cheminade, Caleb Maupin, Diogène Senny, Mike Callicrate, and others.

The conference will be held in English, with simultaneous interpretation in Spanish, French and German.
