36,000 Children’s Right to Nuclear Bombs OR a Safe Future

We want a united and peaceful world Appeal by 36,000 CMS students The global society is in a state of unrest, struggling with the problems that disunite thehumanrace.WeatCMSbelievethatUnityofHumankindisneedofthehour. World's two billion children are the common concern for all the nations of the world for their safety, security and welfare. City Montessori School (CMS) believes that “School must act as the Lighthouse of Society” and provide meaningful education, spiritual direction, guidance and leadership not only to students but also to parents and society at large. CMS advocates that a 'modern school must concern itself with the affairs of the age' and must also act as a powerful instrument of profound social transformation. Therefore , CMS being the biggest school of the world has taken up the cause of safe future for over two billion children of the world, and the generationsyet-to-beborn,bycreatingclimateforworldunityandworldpeace. We also believe that World Unity is a pre-requisite for World Peace which requires a bindingthreadtobringallhumanityunderoneumbrella. VictorHugosaidthat"Thereisonethingstrongerthanallthearmiesoftheworldandthatisanideawhosetimehascome." Nobel laureate in Economics, Jan Tinbergen said "Mankind's problems can no longer be solved by national governments. What is needed is a World Government. This can best be achieved by strengthening the United Nations system.” This is the idea whose time has come. In the present scenario CMS believes that it is necessary also to empower the International Court of Justice by strengthening the United Nations Organization to turn it into a government to prevent wars, resolve international disputes peacefully and legally, counter terrorism, ensure nuclear disarmament, conserve and protecttheenvironmentandevolveEnforceableWorldLawforsafeguardingthefutureofworld'stwobillionchildrenandgenerationsyet-to-be-born.

It was for this reason that CMS and generations yet-to-be-born. the word ‘State’ denotes the government, and each and every citizen students collected nearly 100,000 signatures in 1999 on an appeal of India who owes allegiance to the Constitution of India. SCHOOL IS THE LIGHTHOUSE OF SOCIETY: CMS believes that asking UN Secretary General Dr. Kofi Annan had to initiate steps for ‘School is a building with four walls with tomorrow inside’ and the THERE IS NO ENFORCEABLE INTERNATIONAL LAW TODAY: formation of a World Government. Dr. Annan replied that UN was ‘destiny of a man is shaped in the classroom’. CMS, therefore, The fact is that there is no enforceable international law existing in the powerless to do anything, unless its member states decided to do upholds that 'a school must act as the Lighthouse of Society to provide world today that is equally applicable to all the countries and peoples something. He advised CMS to write to all Heads of State and meaningful education, spiritual direction and leadership to students, of the world.

Hence, this is a CMS initiative on behalf of duly enacted ‘International Law’. Moreover, a law that does not carry a and making it more effective to tackle problems of the 21st century. the world’s two billion children and future generations. penalty for its violation cannot be called a law at all. In this sense, there CMS did write to the world leaders but the leaders gathered at the is indeed no international law in the world, in the absence of which Millennium Summit failed to take any decision regarding reforming of CMS IS TRYING TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF ‘VASUDHAIV there is total lawlessness as reflected in the increased instances of UN and instead focused only on issues related to their individual KUTUMBAKAM’ : (The earth is but one country and mankind its international terrorism and stockpiling of weapons of mass countries.

Convener, ICCJW & World Judiciary Summits Einstein, Jawahar Lal Nehru, Winston Churchill, Peter Ustinov, Founder- Manager, City Montessori School (CMS) Lucknow, India 4 H. E. Smt. Pratibha Devi Singh Patil I am glad to meet you. Last year too, I had an occasion to interact with the President of India delegates of the International Conference of Chief Justices of the World. Conferences such as these, I am confident, provide an opportunity to the global judicial community to exchange ideas about recent developments in international law and practices.They are platforms for sharing of experiences in the implementation of international conventions in their respective countries through domestic legal structures. The drawing up of the Indian Constitution was an elaborate exercise. We had also looked at constitutions of other countries for this purpose. The Indian Constitution embodies the concepts of equality, liberty, justice and fraternity. It guarantees fundamental rights to our citizens and has, since its adoption in 1950, provided the basic framework for governance and dispensation of justice. In India, judiciary plays an important role in not only upholding the constitution and dispensing justice but also in bringing in principles of international law in their judicial pronouncements. The Judiciary has and will continue to be an important pillar of India's democratic framework. India has always believed that a peaceful world can be possible if it is based on the principles of equity, justice and fair-play. It has sought more democratic and representative multilateral institutions whether it is the UN Security Council or the World Bank and the IMF for dealing effectively with global challenges of peace, development and, in fact, for coordinated action for dealing with the current financial crises. Global issues require global consensus and concerted action by all countries of the world. One of the major challenges that confront the world is international terrorism and the Judges always think in a judicious manner and, therefore, your faculties danger it poses to human lives, with innocent people falling prey to terrorist when you come together will make the world think what is the greatness in attacks in many parts of the world. It is incumbent on the international your message, what is the strength in your message and I think every community to ensure that there is an effective legal framework for the country will have to ponder over this. prevention and elimination of terrorism. India has faced terrorism for over two The milk of human kindness flows in the heart of India, therefore, wherever decades. The recent terrorist attacks in India have escalated it to new levels and have profiled the cross-border linkages of the support that the terrorists there is any question of humanity, peace, brotherhood, India is always on the receive. Terrorism has ramifications for world stability and growth and hence, forefront. I hope if every country tries to bring in these principles in the an issue I believe which the Chief Justices of the World should look at as a education system of their country, because a child is the father of the man. If priority area so that the perpetrators, as also those who extend support to a child is taught right in the beginning when he is very small and young, what them, are brought to justice. is the importance of peace, what are the ill effects of violence and what role a The International Court of Justice in the Hague, which was established in child can play in future to bring about peace, I think the whole thought will 1945 as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations enjoys universal change and every country, the new generation, will think in a very support and respect. India is proud to have contributed to the working of ICJ constructive manner and they will come together to give our children a safe and three of our Judges have been its members. However, the recent period environment and safe future alongwith what efforts you are making . has witnessed the creation of a number of specialized regional and I think if we can also change and put in the education curricula itself, what is international courts and bodies.

The challenge is to find a balance between, on the one hand, This is what is needed. You have all contributed in a great manner. I'm sure the need for diversity and specialized regimes and, on the other hand, the whatever resolutions you might have passed or whatever is the outcome, importance of maintaining an overall framework of international law that that is going to be very fruitful and is going to provide guidance for the whole offers a sufficient degree of coherence. world. I am confident that there would have been an occasion to exchange ideas on many such issues.

Shri Jagdish Gandhi Founder-Manager CMS & Convener of the Conference World Unity and Peace Education Department City Montessori School 12, Station Road Lucknow - 226001 MESSAGE

I am happy to note that City Montessori School (CMS), Lucknow, after successfully organizing seven International Conferences, is now organizing the 8th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World on Article 51 of the Indian Constitution. Article 51 of the Constitution of India is designed to promote international peace and security. India has always strived for promoting international peace and understanding and is committed to foster respect for International Laws. Conferences like these play a significant role in helping us understand each other better and motivate us in discharging our obligation to the people at large. I appreciate the School’s noble endeavour in bringing together eminent jurists for promoting international peace and in securing the future of our children. I wish the conference all success.

(Manmohan Singh)

New Delhi October 26, 2007

6 The President of India, Dr A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, is happy to know that the World Unity and Peace Education Department of the City Montessori School is organizing the 7th International Conference of the Chief Justices of the World from 7th to 12th December, 2006 at Lucknow. The President extends his warm wishes and greetings and felicitations to the organizers and the participants from India and abroad and wishes the Conference all success. —H.E. Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam President of India Message dated 20th November 2006

In this era of globalisation, the need for a strong and enforceable International Law assumes great importance to address the concern of global peace and security as also to safeguard the interests of the developing countries. This Conference, I trust, will guide the direction and content of International Law to articulate the varied concern of the deprived and dispossessed segments of the society. —H.E. Bhairon Singh Shekhawat Vice President of India Message dated 29th November 2004

I wholeheartedly applaud this initiative. If any section of society has a greater claim on a safe and conflict-free future of mankind, it is our children. Hence Article 51c of our Constitution, which enjoys upon the State shall endeavour to promote peace and security, maintain just and honourable relations between nations and foster respect for international law, is especially relevant for safeguarding the interests of our children. —Hon'ble Mr Atal Bihari Vajpayee Prime Minister of India Message dated 26th November 2002

There is greater need today to reinforce our struggle against poverty , inequality and obscurantism, against terrorism trafficking in drugs and humans and against voilance and discrimination. The new millennium has brought with it new questions relating to environment technology and economic freedom. it is significant that this Conference has a special focus on children, for all systems of justice have an impact on the well-being of the future generation. I send my good wishes for the success of the Conference —Hon'ble Ms Sonia Gandhi National Leader of India Message dated 13th November 2002

It is gratifying to learn that the Seminar inter alia aims to discuss the provision of Article 51 of Indian Constitution on the State's role on promotion of international peace and security, maintaining just and honourable relations between nations, foster for international law and encourage settlement of international disputes, by arbitration. —Hon'ble Mr G.M.C. Balayogi Speaker of the Parliament of India Message dated 30th Jan 2001

7 I am sure that the above Conference would improve relationships between nations, apart from strengthening the objectives of international peace and security and fostering respect for international law. I am of the firm opinion that this would go a long way in focusing the importance of international peace and security on the one hand, and creating interaction and networking among Chief Justices of the World on the other hand. I wish the Conference a grand success —Hon’ble Mr Manohar Joshi Speaker of Lok Sabha (House of the People), India Message dated 29 November 2002

India is a peace loving country, believes in international relationship of all kinds. We welcome our guests. India has got a very good judicial system. We have got our finest written constitution. Some of you all have been coming to India quite often, we would like to welcome you all again and again for attending this conference. I once again extend my hearty welcome to you and I wish you very nice stay in our country. —Hon'ble Mr Justice K. G. Balakrishnan Chief Justice of India & Chief Guest of the Conference at the Civic Reception organized by International Bench and Bar Association at Delhi in the honour of Chief Justices of the world who came to attend 7th International Conferences of Chief Justices of the world Speech dated 7th December 2006

I feel very glad that Mr Jagdish Gandhi has taken up the challenge and has striven all these years to bring world peace, world order and world harmony through an international order which today seems to be a distant dream, but Mr Gandhi is a visionary, he is a dreamer and I am sure that with the support of all the right thinking men of the world, his dream will come true. One day, I am sure that all mankind will come together. —Hon'ble Mr Justice P. N. Bhagwati Former Chief Justice of India Chairman, United Nations Human Rights Committee (Geneva) Patron-in-Chief of the International Conferences of Chief Justices of the World Speech dated 28th November 2005

The fundamental ethic expressed in Article 51 describes a world order based on the principles of international peace and security. From the earliest times, the concept of a world order governed by law and assuring the welfare and happiness of its citizens has, in one form or the other, engaged world leaders and statesmen, jurists and philosophers. India plays a vital role in promoting and strengthening a global order, guided and governed by international law. —Hon'ble Mr Justice R.S. Pathak Former Chief Justice of India; Former Judge, International Court of Justice; Member Permanent Court of Arbitration (The Hague) & Hony. Member of the Bench, Gray's Inn, London Speech dated 23rd December 2001

I owe it to the organizers of this function and to the 27,000 students of the City Montessori School (CMS) and in particular to Mr. Gandhi for giving me this opportunity to participate in this Conference. The scintillating performance through which the young students gave the call for peace and exhorted the judicial fraternity to endeavour to bring about peace through their pronouncement, has left a deep and lasting impression on my mind and so it must be with others. I congratulate them for their initiative. An environment has to be developed for multi-culturalism to survive and it becomes necessary for each individual country and its government to adhere to its obligations under international law. —Hon'ble Mr Justice A. M. Ahmadi Former Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 13th December 2003

8 I would prefer to begin by referring to Article 51 of the Constitution of India. This article articulates the essential link between the national politics and international obligations of the State. It directs the State to take all efforts to promote international peace and security, to encourage settlement to disputes by arbitration, and importantly, to faster respect for international law and treaty obligations.There is a direct link between “future” of a nation and the “present” of a child.Avery young child has a constitutional right to develop his personality to the utmost and achieve his ideals/ and State has a constitutional imperative to ensure that appropriate and conducive atmosphere is being created for the said purpose. —Hon’ble Mr Justice V. N. Khare Former Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 9th December 2006 delivered at the 7th International Conference of Chief Justices of the world

Future generations comprise of the children, present and those yet to be born. The present population itself is largely young. Globalisation is shrinking physical distances but tends to increase the distance between hearts, in spite of the above commitment. The concept of citizenship of the world in a global village can be realized only by treating all the children as members of one family. The concern for the children everywhere should be universal in the international community. It must not be left to the national governments alone. The voice of the international community is the assurance to prevent failure of the national institutions to discharge their duty of protecting human rights. —Hon’ble Mr Justice J. S. Verma Former Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 8th December 2007 delivered at the 8th International Conference of Chief Justices of the world

Time has come when we have become global without doing anything ourselves, and time has come when we cannot resist globalisation. Even if entire population of India (1/6 of humanity) jumps up to resist globalisation we will not be able to stop it. It is like a flood which you cannot stop. We have all lost our feet and we are all being carried away, a move of that type is operating. If that is operating we can end up as one and we can have one parliament. But as has been rightly pointed out by our speakers the time seems not to have come and it may take some more time to think of World Parliament. —Hon'ble Mr Justice Ranganath Misra Former Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India & Former Chairman of National Human Rights Commission of India & Former Member Permanent Court of Arbitration, The Hague, Netherlands Speech dated 25th February 2001 on the occasion of the symposium organised by C.M.S.

There could not have been a better place than India to discuss these issues, culturally and constitutionally. We believe in Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the whole universe is a family). Our Constitution gives the same message. The preamble to the Constitution declares that India has been constituted into a republic for the purpose of achieving the goals of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity to all.Article 51 reads (the relevant clause which is the theme of this World Judiciary Meet). —Hon’ble Mr Justice R. C. Lahoti Former Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 9th December 2007 delivered at the 8th International Conference of Chief Justices of the world

Once you catch one common aspect, then only you can continue. So here are now two common points. One point was the children …. Everybody would care for the child, his or her own child. The second common point was law.And then how to bring that law together was the idea of calling of the conference of the chief justices. This was probably what was in his mind and while Mr Jagdish Gandhi was speaking. I was thinking as to why should this man who is living in Lucknow, running a school, is a teacher, should call for an International Conference of Chief Justices and the judges of the World. This was probably the ideas: the children linked with law, the law linked with judges, the judges linked with society, the society linked to the whole world. —Hon'ble Mr Justice V.S. Sirpurkar Judge, Supreme Court of India, Speech dated 28th September 2007 delivered at the International Law Institute, Krishna Menon Bhawan, Opposite Supreme Court, New Delhi

9 There is need for change of hearts by change of attitude and outlook. Safeguarding future of the children of the world is of great importance. Since the minds of the judges are conditioned towards justice and also because they are capable of facilitating the establishment of a new world order as their views and pronouncements would act as a mandate from the people to advise world leaders on the vital issue of saving humanity and ensuring a safe future to world's children and also those yet unborn. Only the judiciary is capable of paving ways to bringing about 'enforceable International Law' binding on all countries and peoples of the world and constituting World Parliament to enact such laws. —Hon'ble Mr Justice Shivaraj V. Patil Judge, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 8th December 2002

Children of this country have a greater power to issue a mandamus. They issued a writ to the older section of the population “enough is enough, you are making a world for our living. We have now realized what is the world you made for us -stop. We have a suggestion for you, make a parliament, the decision of which will be binding on you all. That would be a better solution than what you have been doing hitherto”.The message was clear and had the sharpness of a razor. —Hon'ble Mr Justice K. T. Thomas Judge, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 6th May 2001

We are all sons of God, there is no difference between a man and a man, one person and another person simply by reason of his birth in particular place on the globe, simply by reason of a particular caste or in a particular state in this country. We will have to foster a spirit of total human development be it the darker part of Africa or more sophisticated areas of United States or U. K., Russia, China or Japan. We shall have to work as a man to achieve this, otherwise day is not far off, when some sections will perish and other will cherish.

—Hon'ble Mr Justice U. C. Banerjee Judge, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 6th May 2001

We should never forget the fact that the children are our future and hope, as all the superb virtues the humanity will survive only through them. Hence, their protection is necessary and for their protection, the protection of our common resources is essential because our common future depend upon it. The protection and preservation of the childhood has a direct nexus with the protection of human rights and protection of environment.

—Hon’ble Mr Justice M. B. Shah Judge, Supreme Court of India Message dated 23rd December 2001

Needless to mention here that having regard to the significance of the theme of the conference ‘Enforceable International Law Is THE IDEA Whose Time has Come’. The CMS is making its effective contribution in this direction. I am sure, the conference will be proved to be a milestone in achieving the ultimate goal as enshrined in Article 51c of the constitution of India.

—Hon’ble Mr Justice S B Sinha Judge, Supreme Court of India Message dated 7th December 2004

I hope and trust that the concept of world parliament, as projected by the organizers in this historical city, will fully get fructified with the cooperation of all concerned states who may have to lose a little of their sovereignty but will have immense to claim for the prosperity and peaceful existence of their own citizens and all the regions of the world will become more safe for their inhabitants. —Hon´ble Mr Justice S.B.

—Hon'ble Mr Justice N M Kasliwal Judge, Supreme Court of India Message dated 17th October 2001

11 Global world judicial fraternity is meeting here. People say we don't have power. International law, no doubt, at present doesn't have power. When there is purity, the power is by force, the very voice is a force. Judiciary is one branch of the sovereign law which has the greater respect. When the voice comes from the global judiciary speaking for this, and this voice should be communicated to the United Nations Secretary General for communicating it to each member of the UNO that this is the feeling and voice of the judicial fraternity of the world. United Nations should resolve to destroy all nuclear lethal weapons in a phased manner and second, promise not to manufacture them in the name of defence. —Hon’ble Mr Justice A P Misra Former Judge, Supreme Court of India Former Chief Justice of Delhi High Court Former Chairman, U.P. Human Rights Commission Speech dated 8th December 2007

We have all in one voice sworn to foster the respect for International Law or for that matter loss of the nation and to do what little we could and the world free of tensions. Friends the single force behind this movement I might say is Mr. Jagdish Gandhi and Mrs, Bharti Gandhi. I am reminded of what Swami Vivekanand said in his lecture on 'Powers of the mind', he said, “Take up one idea, make that one idea your life, think of it dream of it live on that one idea….Let the brain, muscles, nerves every part of your body be full of that idea and just leave every other idea alone. —Hon'ble Mr Justice PV Reddy Former Judge, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 13th December 2008

CMS under the untiring efforts of its founders have educated their students, year after year, in to the ideas and practices of fraternity, respect for humanity and character of high order which make them and the generations to come to be worthy citizens of the world. No individual, no institution has ever endeavored with such devotion and tenacious intensity as the CMS is bringing the World community on to a common plateform to fullfill the aspirations for a “UNITEDAND PEACEFULWORLD”. —Hon'ble Mr Justice Syed Saghir Ahmad Former Judge, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 9th December 2006

I regard it not as a journey but as a pilgrimage because the entire operation was divinely designed by sublime power. You inspired the young generation in the global cause of peace and in turn the juveniles in great numbers inspired by your ideas and imbibing your enthusiasm have dramatically the message to a large part of the earth. But we are therefore seeking to do collectively to launch a phenomenal compaign whose impact will save generations to come. The world belongs to children, the world belongs to generations yet to come and we realize that is our obligation to preserve this world at least for the purpose of the children yet to come. —Hon'ble Mr Justice V. R. Krishna Iyer Former Judge, Supreme Court of India Speech dated 25th February 2001

I agree with you that people all over the world feel that they are totally let down by the world politicians and that intellectuals have failed to give the necessary lead in attaining a new world order. It is time that we should firmly resolve and take decisions which can lead to a better life for one and all.”

—Hon'ble Mr Justice K. Jayachandra Reddy Former Judge, Supreme Court of India Message dated 9th May 2001

12 In my opinion, it is high time to find out ways and means to achieve the object of Article 51 of the constitution in letter and in spirit. Your suggestion for the constitution of a world Parliament for the promotion of international peace and security is really laudable. In this connection, it may be stated that in the implementation of promoting world peace and security, the theory of non-violence as propounded by Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, should be highlighted. —Hon’ble Mr Justice Murari Mohan Dutt Former Judge, Supreme Court of India Message dated 15th February 2001

The global problem we are facing today cannot be solved solely within any one jurisdiction, however, great it may be. The issues such as environmental degradation, trafficking in women and children and HIV/AIDS require atleast common approach to the broad principles that guide nations and states to meet this challenges. Terrorism is another development that cannot be fought with merely by using conventional means. It requires sharing of intelligence to use global technology and global response that addresses the causes and not just the manifestation of terrorist acts. It is with this hope that we are seeking to explore, share ideas of common solution to mutual problems. —Hon'ble Mr Justice A P Shah Chief Justice of Madras High Court, India Speech dated 9th December 2006

The beauty of the flower is in its fragrance, the beauty of the sky are the stars, the beauty of the family is the mother, and the beauty of the world is the youth. You must teach creativity, you must teach morality, you must teach spirituality. That is called CMS. C stands for creativity, M stands for morality, and S stands for spirituality. If all these things, these qualities are imbibed in the minds of the young, we are bound to succeed.The mindset should be moulded in such a way that you have an international outlook. If you have got an international outlook, you don't see it in the name of a caste, community, religion, and other things. —Hon'ble Mr Justice M. Karpaga Vinayagam Chief Justice of Jharkhand High Court, India Message dated 13th December, 2008

We have one earth but different worlds, parliaments and governments. Oneness is not only need of time but, as maintained byAurobindo, Unification is the necessity of the nature. Article 51 has become a source of inspiration. The urge for the enforceable international law is for the reason that international peace is in peril.

—Hon'ble Mr Justice Ashok A. Desai Chief Justice of Uttaranchal High Court, India Speech dated 7th December 2002

If we have to live together peacefully then we must know each other better, to live peacefully we have to maintain certain norms and discipline and to achieve this goal, the idea of formation of World Constitution and World Parliament is the right thinking. —Hon'ble Mr Justice I.M. Quddusi Judge, High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, India Speech dated 8th December 2002

13 The law is not created by any human conqueror for a particular concerned, people, but by global humanity form its realization of truth. It belongs to universal truth. Thus, judges are instruments revealing of the truth. It is the law of supreme God. Judges have to place the instrument of truth to uphold not only the Constitution of respective countries but also interpret and judicially legislate law securing the interest of the coming generation.

—Hon'ble Mr Justice Devi Prasad Singh Judge, Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench, India Speech dated 13th December 2008

"A just international order is an inescapable necessity for men's survival. Such an order must rest on equal respect for all nations as well as equal opportunity for each people to develop to its fullest potential.” The steps taken by Mr Jagdish Gandhi and Mrs Bharti Gandhi and their students is laudable and may it awaken the nations of world towards their responsibility towards the children, the world at large and generations to come. —Hon'ble Mr Justice H. N. Tilahari Judge, High Court of Karnataka, India Speech dated 6th May 2001

The CMS chain of schools, under the untiring efforts of Jagdish Gandhi, his illustrious wife Bharti Gandhi and the devoted staff of the School have educated and trained their students, year after year in to the ideals and practices of fraternity, respect for humanity, and character of high order which will make them and the generations to come to be worthy of our great Motherland- Bharat Mata. No individual, no institutions have ever endeavoured with such devotion and tenacious intensity as the CMS in bringing the World Community on to a common platform to fulfill the aspiration for a ‘UNITED AND PEACEFULWORLD’. —Hon’ble Mr Justice Kamleshwar Nath Former Judge, Allahabad High Court, Lucknow, India Speech dated 11thDecember 2004

Article 51 is contained in the ‘directive principle of state policy’ in our Constitution. We have argued in India between the fundamental rights and the directive principles, there is a history behind it. The God is one which prevails the whole universe and therefore you have to look only to the God in true lights. It does not separate. Therefore, you should be contended what is given in destiny to you by God. This is our ethos that is why our founding fathers added Article 51. We do not want to fight, we want to assimilate, we want to cooperate, we want to unite, that is the philosophy of the Indian civilization.

—Hon’ble Mr. H.R. Bhardwaj Union Minister for Law and Justice, Government of India Speech dated 11th December 2004

I think we have succeeded in generating enough interest on the concept of world parliament and the need for enforceable international laws. It is time to move forward. My suggestion in this regard is to invite the heads of states and political parties to participate in this conference in the coming years, so that the idea is given a concrete shape. Respect for international law it is not only an important principle in its own right, but also essential for the peaceful co-existence of individuals and states. Many branches of international law have been recognized by the national jurisdictions. I can mention the examples of international criminal law, international human rights law, law of the sea, diplomatic law, counsellor law, international space law and international aviation law. I hope with the establishment of a truly representative world parliament, international laws will get the same force and respect as national laws. —Hon'ble Mr K Venkatapathy Minister of State in the Ministry of Law and Justice, Government of India Speech dated 13th December 2008

14 I would first like to congratulate the City Montessori School, its children and the Founder-Manager Shri Jagdish Gandhiji, who has not only created a new awareness to this important topic but has succeeded in creating a new world wide movement so that a new world order can emerge and the threats to the mankind can be obviated. His brilliant idea of making appeal by the students of the City Montessori School on behalf of the World’s children to the world community at large to bring to their conscious and to remind them as to on what road of destruction the world has been marching of late, has given rise to this movement all over the world. —Hon’ble Mr Shanti Bhushan Former Law Minister of India Speech dated 9th December 2005

It is not possible to create a stable peaceful society without reforming the educational process. The City Montessori School the Pater Familias, Mr Gandhi and all the teachers deserve our admiration and gratitude for fulfilling this great need of Indian Society and the Nations of the world. We are here to support and reinforce and appeal of 30000 children of the City Montessori School, Lucknow to the distinguished members of the world judiciary assembled here. They want to be safeguarded against the arbitrary and cruel actions of an inscrutable providence and the disasters that threaten our life, health and meagre possessions acquired with body breaking labour and enervating perspiration. —Hon’ble Mr Ram Jethmalani Former Law Minister of India Speech dated 9th December 2005

The idea of a world law-making body for enacting enforceable international law is worth deep consideration of Judges and Jurists of the World. For civilization to flourish, we indeed need rule of law at all levels, local, national and international. For this, national interests will have to blend with international interest and therein lies the function of the judges. Fairness, Justice, Human Dignity and Equality must be made to prevail not merely among individuals but also among nations. The City Montessori School, under the untiring effort of its founders have educated and trained their students, year after year, into the ideals and practices of fraternity, respect for humanity, and character of high order which will make them and the generations to come to be worthy citizens of the world.

Children are the wealth of tomorrow and creation of an environment of unity and peace will put an end to the unethical acts against humanity, and thus pave way for a safe future for the children.

—H. E. Kidar Nath Sahani Governor of Goa, India Message dated 18th November 2003

22 To safeguard the future of our children, and future generations, it is imperative to get rid of present scenario of international terrorism, lawlessness, danger of another world war and environmental and other global problems. Article 51 of the constitution provides inter alia for fostering respect for international law which enables creations of an atmosphere of unity, peace and a safe future of the children.This should be implemented in letter and spirit. —H. E. Justice M Rama Jois Governor of Bihar, India Message dated 9th December 2003.

International environment is currently adversely affected by the menace of “Global Terrorism”.To counter this new challenge, cooperation at political level, coordination of responses between the law enforcement agencies,: intelligence gathering resources would require effective and universally accepted international provisions and laws including special extradition laws is the crying need of the hour. Article 51c of the Indian Constitution enjoins upon the Indian state to foster respect for international law and treaty obligation, and I hope your conference makes a valuable contribution to this end. —H. E. Lt. Gen. K M Seth, Retd., PVSM, AVSM. Governor of Chhattisgarh, India Message dated 24th October 2004

I understand the theme of the conference is Enforceable International law- the idea whose time has come, which is appropriate in today's global world to regulate international conduct, control acts against humanity and create an atmosphere of global peace. The most powerful common denominator for all nations is their children and it is imperative that their future be safeguarded through a regulating mechanism of international law by the community of nations. Nations should voluntarily and willingly give up part of their sovereignty and support the world organization to safeguard world peace and the parity of the human race. —H. E. M. M. Jacob Governor of Meghalaya, India Message dated 4th October 2005

When today’s world is engulfed with grave problems like terrorism, violence, hatred, environmental degradation and economic slowdown affecting the weaker section and the children in particular, International Law has to protect their interests. Our country is committed to enforcing the provisions of Article 51 of the constitution of India since its inception. I am sure, the deliberations at the conference will help the World Judiciary to come together to enforce International law for survival and progress of the generations to come. —H. E. M M Rajendran Governor of Orissa, India Message dated 4th November 2003

The 21st century is witnessing the emeragence of a culture of inter- dependence where Nations are sharing information and poling knowledge for the benefit of humanity. In order to achieve world peace and preserve our planet for future generation, active world peace and preserve our planet for future generation, active participation of all Nations is required. I congratulate the students of City Montessori school for their insight and for appealing on behalf of the world's children for a safe and secure future. I have no doubt that the deliberations at the 8th International Conference will be both enlightening and productive and will be beneficial for mankind. —H. E. M.M. Lakhera Lieutentenant, PVSM, AVSM, VSM Governor of Pondicherry, India Message dated 10th October 2005

23 We should concentrate our resources, energy and attention away from war and destruction, towards eliminating other major concerns afflicting the world like poverty, hunger, disease, lack of education and environmental protection. This, apart from providing basic necessities to all deprived, would provide an ideal environment for the younger generation to grow up. I am sure the deliberations at this conference will provide some conclusive decisions towards achieving the Unity and Peace. While extending my unstinted support towards achieving the vision of Peaceful World, I extend my best wishes for the success of the conference. —H.E. Mukut Mithi Governor of Puducherry, India Message dated 24th November 2006

Today the very survival of mankind is being threatened and the future of children. The most powerful common denominator for all the nations of the planet earth is at stake due to increasing acts of terrorism lawlessness and global environmental degradation. It is our bounden duty to safeguard the future of our children. The call of the CMS students for universally applicable enforceable international law to safeguard their future deserves special consideration. I wish the management and the students of City Montessori School every success in their endeavours in bringing peace and ensuring unity among all living in the planet. —H. E. S S Sidhu Governor of Manipur, India Message dated 27th November 2006

Violence, terror, miseries, calamities are the brutal outcome of uncontrolled greediness, materialism and fatal attraction for power and position. The conference held to deliberate on the worthwhile theme “Enforceable International law is “the Idea whose time has come “would help Honourable Chief Justices of the world to pave a better way of justice leading the world to peace unity and brotherhood I hope. —H. E. Nawal Kishore Sharma Governor of Gujarat, India Message dated 26th October 2005

The theme of the conference namely “Enforceable International law is our need” is indeed most appropriate and relevant in today's world. Children are the most unfortunate victims of war, conflict and other forms of violence between nations and organizations espousing violence. The idea of appeal to the world judiciary on behalf of the world's children, born and yet to- be born, to ensure a safe future for the world's children is highly commendable.

—H. E. Mohammed Fazal Governor of Maharashtra, India Message dated 22nd October 2002

We need regulations and law that apply to the whole world instead of being nation specific. Enforceable international law is indeed the idea whose time has come. Nations need to promote common ideals, common laws and common objectives which transcend national boundaries and serve the cause of humanity as a whole. —H. E. S.C. Jamir Governor of Goa, India Message dated 3rd October 2005

24 I hope the participating learned Chief Justices will hold fruitful discussions about preservation of right of the minors born and yet to be born and ensure enforcement of “children's Right to safe Future” and its inclusion in UN's Declaration of Rights of the child.

—H. E. V. C. Pande Governor of Bihar, India Message dated 21st November 2002

I commend the efforts of the organizers. The theme of the conference is relevant and of value for the world unity and world peace. I hope that the learned participants will have a good opportunity to deliberate on the ways and means to foster respect for international law. Respect for the rule of law needs to be imbued in the every citizen of the country to ensure order and peace in the society. Rule of law has many components in it and respect for international law is the most important necessity in today’s world which is facing many grim challenges impinging on the security of life, home and health of people. —H. E. T. N. Chaturvedi Governor of Karnataka, India Message dated 30th October 2006

Children are the future of the world and without assuring them a conducive, congenial and healthy environment a dream of a bright and prosperous human life can not be realized.Therefore, it is of utmost importance that children are taken proper care of and provided with all the requisite facilities necessary for their development into healthy, enlightened and responsible human beings. It is equally important that we leave for them a universe, which is rich and harmonious in every aspect of natural resources and human traits. Children definitely have a right to safe future, and all efforts need to be made by one and all to ensure it. I extend my good wishes for the success of the endeavors in this regard. —H. E. Suraj Bhan Governor of Himachal Pradesh, India Message dated 6th December 2002

Children are the future of any nation and it is our bounded duty and obligation to preserve this world for the sake of our children and for future generations.All our actions should therefore be directed towards their upliftment and welfare. Today, we are faced with the problem of global terrorism, lawlessness, global environmental degradation, child abuse and crime against humanity. In this situation judiciary can play a pivotal role by paving ways to bring about a new world order and enforcing international law, to regulate and safeguard the interest of children of the world. I am also happy to know that City Montessori School, Lucknow has taken the lead in creating world wide awareness of such an important topic hosting this great conference. —H. E.Syed Sibtey Razi Governor of Jharkhand, India Message dated 2nd December 2006

We are aware that the future of the nation and the world squarely depends on the physical and mental health and overall grooming of our children. In view thereof the world must contemplate together to protect their interest through various means including adoption of enforceable international law which will be made possible through this comprehensive discussion being held and organized by this institution. I am also greatly privileged to know that this institution has taken lead in evolving humanitarian concern for the plight of the millions of disadvantaged and less fortunate children worldwide. —Hon’ble Mr Pawan Chamling Chief Minister of Sikkim, India Message dated 23rd November 2006

25 The world is fast becoming a smaller place to live in. Consciousness of personal rights have also spurred movement and campaigns which have resulted in demolishing prejudices and discriminations. It is heartening to note that there is a dream where we can envision a future when there will be a universal international law enacted solely for the welfare and protection of children wherever they are without regard to colour, class or creed.An enforceable International law for the protection of the rights of a child would be a lifeline for children specially for the developing world as what we offer them today and how we treat, educate and nurture them will decide which direction they will take in the future. —Hon’ble Mr Neiphiu Rio Chief Minister of Nagaland, India Message dated 22nd November 2006

Judiciary happens to be one of the four pillars of democracy and has been bestowed with the responsibility to protect the interests of the aggrieved by delivering them justice and upholding the sanctity of the provisions of the Constitution of India. The endeavour of the City Montessori School in hosting such an important International Conference, deserve all appreciation .The theme of the Summit is quite relevant in the present day context to protect the children and help them grow up as responsible and awakened citizen of the country. I hope the galaxy of the world renowned judges would be an unique opportunity to debate and deliberate upon various issues of global importance and make this planet a safe and secure place to here in. There is also need to find out appropriate modes to deliver aggrieved quick and cheap justice. —Hon'ble Mr Prem Kumar Dhumal Chief Minister of Himanchal Pradesh, India Message dated 22th November 2008

It is encouraging to learn that large gathering of eminent justices will deliberate on the relevant theme regarding International law and would also have meaningful discussions on realizing the dream of a Global law-making body. Apart from this number of suggestions on legal reforms will emerge and hence making the task easy to deliver less costly justice at the earliest possible . —Hon'ble Madam Sheila Dikshit Chief Minister of New Delhi, India Message dated 19th September 2005

To-day, global environmental degradation lawlessness, international terrorism and a danger of Third World war are showing its ugly head, threatening the entire civilization on this globe itself. Therefore, the time has come to promote the idea of a 'World Government' and to make a global law for peace for which no country is yet ready. I must congratulate the students of City Montessori School and the organizers for taking up this pious task for the welfare of the humanity for which I wish every success. —Hon'ble Mr Virbhadra Singh Chief Minister of Himanchal Pradesh, India Message dated 30th September 2005

The theme of the conference “ Enforceable International law” is need of the hour for creating an atmosphere of global peace, harmony and amity. The respect of international law and promotion of peace and security are of immense important for creating harmonious international order that can take care of the interests of the people globally besides contributing to their well being and development. It is also significant that this conference of Chief Justices would have a special attention on the most powerful common denominator for all nations and their children and it is imperative that their future must be safeguarded. —Hon’ble Captain Amarinder Singh Chief Minister of Punjab, India Message dated 9th December 2005

26 It is quite significant that this crucial issue, which has been addressed inArticle 51 of our Constitution is to be debated threadbare at the forthcoming 7th International Conference of Chief Justices of the world organized by the City Montessori School, Lucknow. After all, the conscience of the global communities on this issue must be translated into an international law, which the chief justices would have to administer and enforce. But, the question is whether such a consensus could fructify in the near future. The world is virtually torn as under by utterly conflicting interests the worst among them being the rise of terrorism which been responsible for rendering thousands of children orphans across the globe. —Hon’ble Mr Pratap Singh Rane Chief Minister of Goa, India Message dated 30th October 2006

I applaud the City Montessori School, Lucknow for their step by step endeavours to provide for a better world to the children and the generations to come. The global community is aware of your quest in this noble cause and it is heartening to know that children of today and tomorrow are going to reap a great harvest of your labour. In a world where the future is so fragile, only an enforceable international law and empowerment of the International Court of Justice could guarantee the rights of the children to live free from fear, deprivation and humiliation and above all guarantee their right to life irrespective of colour caste or creed. Be assured that the people of the union territory of Puducherry would always support the CMS towards the goal of making the world a better place for the children, to live in. — Hon’ble Mr. N. Rangasamy Chief Minister of Pondicherry, India Message dated 6th December 2007

I would also like to congratulate the students for choosing this good topic for serious discussion — Article 51 C. I can say that the Indian Constitution is different from that of the world. Our Constitution accords equal status to everybody irrespective of caste, religion or region. Humanity calls for removing all inequality based on religion, caste and the like. Only then can there be world peace and we can safeguard human rights.

—Hon’ble Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav Chief Minister of the State of Uttar Pradesh and Former Defence Minister of India Speech dated 12th December 2003

“There is no question that we are moving towards a unified world, when there will be one central authority to which the instruments of coercion will be surrendered and a fraction of the sovereignty of independent nation states will have to be given up for the security of the whole world…..” “What is essential today, if we wish to bring about a human community, a world community, is to surrender a part of our sovereignty to a central authority, to do our utmost to remove the injustices which prevail in the name of economic exploitation, in the name of even religious intolerance. It is easy to win peace, but we should also win the conditions which make for peace.”

—— Dr. S. Radhakrishnan the then President of India addressing the Council of Asian Relations and World Affairs in 1963
