WHO WE ARE
We promote human unity, this is; a human inclusive decision-making sytem which, consecuently, avoids and prevents harming purposes (arms) and pursues human´s welfare only.
FOR A WORLD REPUBLIC
The current system of laws and rights cannot prevent war. If someone harms another, they can be reconciled or justice can mediate so that they never destroy each other, but the weapon subdues, deprives each other´s freedom even without harming anyone, it does so by its power. And an army can only be countered by another army (equivalent or more powerful), and if neither prevails, there follows mutual destruction, war ('the attempt or action to disarm the enemy'), because what is at stake is the will that rules the other without any alternative. And this will that prevails is not even free, since it cannot be other than to arm itself as much as it can, and prevent the other from doing so. The weapon acts by virtue of its power, which means that it does so by virtue of its very existence, and this was the case before man, who had no choice but to adapt to it and enter its evil circle.------------------- Now the solution is a world republic with the task of disarmament, because just as the purpose of harming of the weapon contradicts inclusiveness, the common cause of disarmament leads precisely to inclusiveness, to cooperation for the common good. And it is the duty of every person, regardless of status or rank, to share this understanding of pure human logic and to demand the cessation of the use and development of the weapon, because just as in the past it was inevitable to serve the weapon, today, since we are all connected, it is a duty to point out the evil (the ill will or the intention to do harm), to reject it and to urge the same from others.

RECONCILIATION CALL
It is crucial to use our intelligence to understand and recognize what our humanity means, which ...
MESSAGE FOR RECONCILIATION
1. Arms are the same as war.
The weapon is the purpose to harm the other as much as possible to subjugate him - to make him give up his will, for that will is to arm himself as much as possible to subjugate the first for the same reason. And if neither is thus imposed, war follows - whether preventive, indirect or direct - which is ‘the attempt or action to disarm the enemy’.
The weapon does not subjugate by its effective use (death, destruction) but by its potentiality – the effect of its use is anticipated. And its power lies in its mere existence - already given by itself and to which humans assimilate.
The weapon is the ultimate human production in every time and place (also in the future that we anticipate) and the real object of everything that is made; cities, infrastructure, inventions, technologies..., although it is not shared with us today, we know from the past that everything is meant to reinforce the weapon.
2. The purpose of harm is not publicly shared.
All humans are incorporated into an armed unit (and/or state), a system of hierarchical submission or total inequality (injustice) that deprives us of freedom and humanity.
If one person does evil: harms another, and this is made public, everyone condemns it, for justice, peace, as well as cooperation for mutual benefit is the common interest, but exploiting others to strengthen the weapon and harm and kill the enemy is rewarded. And someone who refuses to exploit or kill others is either forced to obey orders on pain of being punished or even executed as a deserter, so that deception and violence are prevalent for our relations.
Since their origin, armed units have manifested themselves through ideologies that their subjects must learn in schools and other means in such a way that it is difficult for them to face reality, that they are prevented from mutual understanding with people outside and only submitted to an army or military alliance.
3. Disarmament is universal.
Inclusive decision-making brings about the common good and prevention of harm.
But the first inclusive decision must be disarmament, something that is only possible with the cooperation of all, and therefore impossible until now, since partial disarmament only resulted in serving another army. That is why inclusiveness as the form of human peace and harmony, although well known to the sages of the past, has not been taught to us, because not only was it not feasible, but it would have weakened the party spreading it.
Since all human beings are in contact now, let us reconcile ourselves by sharing this message and let us replace submission to the weapon with public (inclusive, universal) decisions, stopping all weapons development and initiating disarmament because weapons are only for each other, let now all of us cooperate to beat swords into plowshares ...
IT IS OUR TIME
Unfortunately, the main Western cosmopolitan text, Zeno’s Republic, has been lost, but we have the reference of Plutarch. Stoicism could not realise this aim in an incomunicado world, therefore it developed in a doctrine of virtue, but these are its roots. Cosmopolitanism was the main philosophy between the II century B.C. and the III century A.D., from the Iberian Peninsula to India, including the Roman Empire and the Empire of Alexander. It was the ground of Christianity:
“the much-admired Republic of Zeno, the founder of the Stoic sect, may be summed up in this one main principle: that all the inhabitants of this world of ours should not live differentiated by their respective rules of justice into separate cities and communities, but that we should consider all men to be of one community and one polity, and that we should have a common life and an order common to us all, even as a herd that feeds together and shares the pasturage of a common field. This Zeno wrote, giving shape to a dream or, as it were, shadowy picture of a well-ordered and philosophic commonwealth.” (Plutarch, On the Fortune of Alexander, 329A–B)
“The reason that orders what should be done or avoided is common to us. Granted this, the law is also common to us and we are fellow citizens, we participate in a citizenship and the world is our city (Meditations, Marco Aurelios, Book IV, 4)
“For the nature of the universe, having made all reasonable creatures one for another, to the end that they should do one another good” (Meditations, Marcus Aurelius, Book IX, 1)
