HUMANIFESTO
of the
Future Generations Party
(Draft — Please send us your suggestions)
We hold this truth as self evident, natural and divine law, incumbent on all humanity.
Future generations have the same natural rights
as present generations.
Present generations must honour and safeguard the rights of future generations — to the seventh generation.
The living inherited their rights from the will of past generations and it is our sacred duty to uphold and protect the natural rights of the future.These natural rights are the right to live, in freedom from tyranny and terror, with sufficient security of - water
- food
- health, and
- safe habitation
and to do so for their natural lifetime.
At this moment in human history (2008), all systems of the biosphere are being degraded at such a rate that the survival of humanity is threatened.In less than ten years, it may be too late to prevent the collapse of civilization from global climate change within this century — if we don't make drastic changes in our energy production and consumption in short order. We are witness to the start of the greatest crime against humanity, and the greatest offense against the Creator, ever. This is the result of a system of government, law and economics that denies rights to future generations — as if civilization permits the living to plunder and abuse the birth rights of the next generations. This is not civilized behaviour. It is behaviour without ethics, morality, or justice. It is inhuman. At this time, we believe we are able to ensure the survival of future generations and we pledge to do so. We will change the laws and the economics that deny the right of future generations to live a decent life simply because they are not yet alive. We declare this denial to be the ultimate evil, and the ultimate oppression and exploitation of the most defenseless. We declare, on behalf of the voiceless generations to come, that any law, any economy and any government that denies these natural rights to future generations has no legitimacy in human civilization.
