and Global Forces

8. The lack of a universally recognized world body
can put the initiative upon global citizens
themselves to create rights and obligations. Rights
and obligations as they arose at the formation of
nation-states are being expanded. These rights
can be equated with the rise of global citizenship
as normative associations.

9. Globalization Citizenship as Used in
Human Rights

10. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
On December 10, 1948, the United
Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution
No. 217-A (111), also known as "The Universal
Declaration of Human Rights". Article 1 states
that "All human beings are born free and equal
in dignity and rights". Everyone is entitled to all
the rights and freedoms set forth in this
Declaration, without distinction of any kind.

11. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Article 2 states that "Everyone is entitled to all the rights and
freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind,
such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion,
national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no
distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or
international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs,
whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other
limitation of sovereignty."
Article 13(2) states that "Everyone has the right to leave any
country, including his own, and to return to his country."

12. As evidence in today's modern world, events such as the
Trial of Saddam Hussein have proven what British jurist A.
V. Dicey said in 1885, when he popularized the phrase
"rule of law" in 1885. Dicey emphasized three aspects of
the rule of law:
1. No one can be punished or made to suffer except for a
breach of law proved in an ordinary court.
2. No one is above the law and everyone is equal before
the law regardless of social, economic, or political status.

13. Global Citizen (or World Citizen)
• A global citizen is a person who places global citizenship above every
nationalistic or local idealities and relationships.
• This was a ground-breaking concept of a global citizen because the broadest
basis of social identity in Greece.
• Today, the increase in worldwide globalization has led to the formation of a
"world citizen" social movement under a proposed world government. In a
non-political definition, it has been suggested that a world citizen may
provide value to society by using knowledge acquired across cultural
contexts.

14. Mundialization (French, mondialisation)
Mundialization refers to the act of a city or local authority declaring itself
as a "world citizen" City by voting a charter stating its awareness of global
problems and its sense of shared responsibility. The first city to be officially
Mundialised was the small French city of Cahors in 1949. Hundreds of cities
mundialised themselves over a few years, most of them in France.
Mundialization advocates for a new political organization governing all
humanity, involving the transfer of certain parts of national sovereignty to a
Federal World Authority, Federal World Government and Federal World Court.
The movement includes the declaration of specified territory as world territory,
with responsibilities and rights on a world scale. To date, more than 1000 cities
and towns have declared themselves World cities, including Beverly Hills, Los
Angeles, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Toronto, Hiroshima, Tokyo,
Nivelles, and Königswinter.

15. Earth Anthem
Shashi Tharoor, an author, feels that an Earth Anthem sung by
people across the world can inspire planetary consciousness and
global citizenship people. This author suggests that the students of
this course should write the lyrics of an Earth Anthem with musical
composition.
In addition, they should also compose the World Pledge
(Panatang Pandaigdig)

16. Criticism of Global Citizenship

17. Criticism of Global Citizenship
Not all people of the world like the idea of having a global citizenship. Michael
Parekh argues- that global citizenship, defined as an actual membership of a type
worldwide government system, is impractical and dislocated from one's immediate
community. Michael Byers questions the assumption that there is one definition of
global citizenship and unpacks aspects of potential definitions. Byers: What, if
anything, does it really mean? Is global citizenship just the latest buzzword?
Byers notes the existence of stateless persons, whom he remarks ought to be the
primary candidates for global citizenship. Gouverneur Morris, a delegate to the
Constitutional Convention (United States), criticized "citizens of the world" while he
was on the floor of the convention; August 9, 1787.

18. The Rights and Responsibilities of Global Citizenship

19. The Rights and Responsibilities of Global Citizenship
• By Ron Israel, Co-Founder and Director, The Global Citizens' Initiative
July, 2015.
• A global citizen is someone who sees themselves as part of an
emerging sustainable world community, and whose actions support
the values and practices of that community. Many people today
identify with being global citizens as more and more aspects of their
lives become globalized.

20. Global Citizenship Rights
• The rights of global citizens are imbedded in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, first drafted in 1948 after World War II.
The core nature of the Universal Declaration-grounded in individual
liberty, equality, and equity-has remained constant.
• The main problem related to human rights has been the
difficulties that the world has had in enforcing them. There is a long
and shameful history of disrespect for and abuse of human rights on
the part of sovereign states, religious institutions, corporations and
others. A growing number of international mechanisms have been
established for reporting human rights abuses. Enforcement
mechanisms still have limited legal jurisdiction, and many states have
not agreed to participate in them.

21. Global Citizenship Responsibilities
A global citizen, living in an emerging world community, has moral, ethical, political, and
economic responsibilities. These responsibilities include:
1. Every global issue has multiple ethnic, social, political, and economic perspectives
attached to it. It is the responsibility of global citizens to promote problem-solving
consensus among the different perspectives. A global citizen should avoid taking sides
with one particular point of view, and instead search for ways to bring all sides together.
2. In building a sustainable values-based world community it is important to maintain
respect for the world's different cultural traditions. Each of our major cultural belief
systems brings value-added to our search for solutions to the global issues we face. We
need to help leaders bring the best elements of their cultures to the task of solving global
issues and building world community.

22. 3. Global citizens need to reach out and build relationships with people from other
countries and cultures. Otherwise, we will continue to live in isolated communities
with narrow conflict-prone points of view on global issues. Building such networks
help those involved better understand their similarities and differences and search
for common solutions for the global issues that everyone faces.
4. Global citizens have the responsibility to understand the many ways in which their
lives are inter-connected with people and countries in different parts of the world.
Global citizens need to understand how the global environment affects them where
they live, and how the environmental lifestyles they choose affect the environment
in other parts of the world. Growing income inequalities and the global tide of
immigration affects what goes on in their countries.
5. Global citizens have the responsibility to understand the major global issues that
affect their lives. These include the impact of the scarcity of resources on societies;
the current distribution of wealth and power in the world; the roots of conflict and
dimensions of peace-building; the challenges posed by a growing global population.

23. 6. Global citizens need to play activist roles in urging greater international
cooperation between their nation and others. When a global issue arises, it is
important for global citizens to provide advice on how their countries can work with
other nations to address this issue - rather than proceed on a unilateral course of
action.
7. Responsibility for advocating for the implementation of international agreements,
conventions, treaties related to global issues: Global citizens have the responsibility
to advocate for having their countries ratify and implement the global agreements,
conventions, and treaties that they have signed.
8. Global citizens have the responsibility to work with one another and advocate for
global equality and justice. There are a growing number of cross-sector issues that
require the implementation of global standards of justice and equity. The UN has
the responsibility for advocating for more effective global equity and justice in all its
domains.

24. Ethical Obligations of Global Citizens
Various writers have the following ideas concerning the Global Citizen's ethical obligations:
1. From: Daisaku Ikeda
2. From Kwame Anthony Appiah, Professor of Philosophy at
Princeton University

25. 1. From: Daisaku Ikeda
A global citizen has the wisdom to perceives the interconnectedness of all life and
living.
• The courage not to fear or deny difference; but to respect and strive to
understand people of different cultures, and to grow from encounters with them.
• The compassion to maintain an imaginative empathy that reaches beyond
one's immediate surroundings and extends to those suffering in distant places.
Thus, a global citizen has the ethical obligation of involvement and activity with
the goal of moving towards greater social justice in all dimension of his life.

26. 2. From Kwame Anthony Appiah, Professor of Philosophy at
Princeton University
• If you can prevent something bad from happening at the cost of
something less bad, you ought to do it.
• People have a right to the satisfaction of their basic needs such
a health, food, shelter and education. Our obligation is to help others
satisfy their needs.
• In any event, our highest duties are to those whom we are
closest - family, friends.

28. Global citizenship - sharing with those less fortunate.
The concept is likely to call for more onerous
obligations in the powerful and fortunate. It often
serves as a rallying cry for ethically motivated action on
global problems such as HIV/Aids pandemics. Global
citizenship has no legal significance at the moment, an
expert says.
