Discussion on Global Citizenship and International Law

This document summarizes a discussion held by members of the Open Council on the topic of Global Citizenship and International Law. The conversation was initiated by sharing a research paper on the same topic.

Key Points

  1. The participants identified the lack of a formal global agreement as a significant issue. Existing international organizations like NATO and the UN were discussed, but the consensus was that these organizations do not effectively enforce global standards.

  2. The participants noted that many countries' policies do not align with UN Human Rights, leading to inefficiency and disagreement.

  3. The discussion also touched upon the topic of privacy in the digital age. The participants expressed concern that privacy rights are being eroded, especially online.

  4. The conversation concluded with a reflection on the need for global healing. The participants agreed that the world is a reflection of its inhabitants, and any change must begin with the people.

Future Actions

The participants were invited to complete their thoughts on the research paper and publish it on Open Research. This would include an editorial review by other Open Council members. The goal is to further explore individual pursuits on the subject of Global Citizenship and International Law.
