One World
World Wide Genocide – Never Again

What is Genocide? the deliberate and systematic destruction of an ethnic, religious or national group. While precise definition varies among genocide scholars, the legal definition is found in the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG). Article 2 of the CPPCG defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: Killing members of the group; Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and/or] Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."[1]

A Declaration of Principles

The universe speaks in many languages but only one voice, the language could be English, German, Arab, it is all human …it speaks in the language of Hope, it speaks in the language of Trust, it speaks in the language of Strength, and the language of Compassion, it is the language of the Heart, and the language of the Soul, and always it is the same Voice.

It is the voice of our ancestors speaking through us and the voice of our inheritors waiting to be born. It is the small still voice that says we are one no matter the blood, no matter the skin, no matter the world, no matter the star, we are one , no matter the pain, no matter the darkness, no matter the loss, no matter the fear we are one.

Here gathered together in common cause, we agree to recognize, this singular truth and this singular rule, that we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and ennobles us and each voice lost diminishes us.

We are the voice of the universe the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future we are one, we are one all humans on Planet Earth.
