Funda is from Germany; Antoine is from the United States; Quique is from Bolivia; and Ari is from Israel. Antoine looked at the questions they were supposed to talk about, and thought he might have the most boring conversation of his life. “Question #1: What country are you from, and what does it take to be a citizen in that country?” Much to Antoine’s surprise, 15 minutes later they were still discussing the first question.

  • Garry Davis (1921-2013), Cidadão Do Mundo
    PASSAGENS Garry Davis (1921-2013), cidadão do mundo (a rios Eduardo Lins da Silva Garry Davis foi provavelmente o apátrida mais conhecido do mundo, e viveu nesta condi• ção durante 65 anos por convicção e desejo próprios. Combatente na Segunda Guerra Mundial pela Força Aérea dos EUA, ele se tornou pacifista, e chegou à conclusão de que se não existis• sem Estados-nações, não haveria mais guerras. Por isso, renunciou à cidadania americana em 25 de maio de 1945, na Embaixada dos EUA em Paris. Tentou viajar pelo mundo, do qual se considerava o cidadão número 1, com um passaporte que ele mesmo concebeu e produziu. Foi preso e expulso de diversos países, entre os quais França, Japão, Reino Unido. Obteve repercussão para sua causa internacionalista, em especial nos anos 1960 e 1970. Costumava dizer: "Eu não sou uma pessoa sem país, sou apenas uma pessoa sem nacionalidade". Sua tese não chegava a ser original. Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Schweitzer e Albert Einstein foram alguns de seus predecessores. Mas nenhum deles foi a extremos tão radicais quanto Davis. Não apenas por ter efetivamente deixado de portar passaportes, mas por ter expedido, além do seu próprio, cerca de 2,5 milhões outros, por meio do Governo Mundial de Cidadãos do Mundo, que criou em 1953 e manteve vivo por 60 anos. Seu ativismo em favor do direito de todas as pessoas viajarem para onde quisessem sem ter de depender de um documento expedido por um Estado nacional oferece elementos para dis• cussões importante na agenda contemporânea das relações internacionais, como a situação de deslocados, refugiados e expatriados por conflitos, guerras civis, catástrofes humanitárias e até de contestadores políticos como Julian Assange e Edward Snowden.

  • The Quest for World Citizenship & Effective Global Governance A
    The Quest for World Citizenship & Effective Global Governance A Short History of World Federalism By Daniel Schaubacher, Founding & Board Member of CUNCR www.cuncr.org The Charter of the United Nations Organisation begins with the words: “We, the peoples…”. However, the peoples are not (yet) directly represented; the executive powers or governments of nation states are. A call for reform of the UN, if not democratic legitimation of the world organisation, is increasingly heard in many lands, even though the victor states of World War Two which permanently sit at the helm of the UN Security Council have not yet agreed, in spite of Article 103c of the UN Charter, to call in a UN Reform Conference. In the thirties and during World War Two, several politicians and statesmen as well intellectuals proposed true community if not federalist measures for world governance, while condemning nationalism of Nazi Germany, Italian fascism and Japanese military imperialism. Campaign for World Government is an American organisation which was formed in 1937. In 1938, Clarence Streit proposed in the USA, in a book Union Now ! that a Federation of Democracies be formed. His thesis made a great number of adepts on both sides of the Atlantic and eventually gave birth to two independent organisations in America and in Britain, called Federal Union. The invention of nuclear power caused great fears, given the discernible inefficiency of the UN system to control armaments of mass destruction. After the Second World War, the peoples of Asia and Europe were still greatly suffering of the disastrous consequences of the global conflict.

  • World Passport from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    World Passport From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The World Passport is a document issued by the World Service Authority, a non-profit organization founded by Garry Davis in 1954,[1] citing Article 13, Section 2, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.[2] Contents 1 Appearance and issuance fees 2 As a travel document 2.1 Notable acceptances 2.2 Notable rejections 2.2.1 Commonwealth of Independent States 2.2.2 United States 2.2.3 Other countries 2.3 Use by refugees and stateless persons 3 As an identity document 4 As a political statement 5 Counterfeits and fraudulent issuance 6 List of notable World Passport holders 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Appearance and issuance fees The World Passport is similar in appearance to a national passport or other travel document. The appearance is so similar that in 1974 a criminal case was lodged against Garry Davis in France regarding his issuance of World Passports.[3] In 1979, the World Passport was a 42-page document, with a dark blue cover, and text in English, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, and Esperanto. It contained a five-page section for medical history and a six-page section for listing organisational affiliation. The fee charged at that time was $32 and postage for a three-year passport with the possibility of two years' extension of validity.[4] The latest edition of the World Passport was issued January 2007. It has an embedded "ghost" photo for security, covered with a plastic film. Its data page imitates the format of a machine-readable passport, with an alphanumeric code bar in the machine- readable zone (MRZ) enabling it to be scanned by an optical reader.

  • World Government of World Citizens: Garry Davis Vs
    “Passport to Freedom”, World Government of World Citizens: Garry Davis vs. National Borders By Greg Guma Theme: History Global Research, December 31, 2013 Maverick Media (Note: A memorial service for Garry Davis will be held at Burlington City Arts in Burlington, Vermont on January 5, 2014 at 3 p.m.) In September 1948, when delegates to the young United Nations met at the grand Palais de Chailot in Paris, a twenty-something American wearing the flak jacket of a bomber pilot pitched a tent on the Palais steps. Guards descended and angrily ordered him to leave, but he politely declined. I’m no longer in France, the man explained, eyes twinkling. I’m standing on “international territory.” As a crowd gathered, so did the world press. With days the name of this pilot-turned-peacenik, Garry Davis, was known around the world. Newsreels captured a mounting drama that featured curious crowds, inspired celebrities and perplexed authorities. When a reporter asked Davis what he was about, he replied, “I’m a world citizen.” With that simple assertion a global movement was born. Garry Davis, who died on July 24, 2013 just shy of 92 years old, was part rebel, part performer and completely original, a world-class Don Quixote who for more than half a century jousted at the biggest windmill of all – nationalism. It was a wild ride that took him around the world, in and out of 34 jails, and across countless frontiers. After renouncing his US citizenship as an anti-war protest, camping out in Paris, and crashing a UN session to deliver a speech, Davis launched his first major organizing project, a registry for world citizens.
