We propose a joint project to the civil society:
In February 2009, 11 representatives of civil society groups initiated with their "Manifesto of Castellina" to supplement the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights by a Charter or Pact on collective rights to common goods.
Today turned the "European Citizens Network" to the associations of civil society with the Appel to put this intiative into concrete joint actions.
With an appeal to the citizens we propose to hold a public debate about the content and form of a pact to be concluded by the people on common goods and collective rights.
The initiators are convinced that this project can be a vital contribution of civil society to tackle the current global financial and economic crisis.
According to the authors, such a globally applicable people’s pact would would serve both the peaceful coexistence of nations on our planet, his backup as the home of all life and the protection of nature as well as addressing the current financial and economic crisis.
Initial ideas about such a "People’s pact on common property and collective rights" can be found on the same Workshop-site "Common goods and collectiv rights".
Peace - the most essential common good of the people
