About global sharing

"We suggest, would be asked to make an inventory of all their resources and needs, what they produce themselves and what they are obliged to import. Then, each nation would be asked to put into a common pool that which they have in excess of their needs, forming a huge international resource from which all could draw. Naturally, the large developed nations would give a greater amount but all would donate their un-needed surplus." (A blueprint for sharing)

The principle of sharing is well known in our families and local communities. But on a global scale we only know to compete for abundant world´s resources. However, every day we see new forms of sharing, which organize by different groups, local communities, businesses, non-governmental organizations, etc. People sharing cars, bicycles, homes, tools, and many other things and services.

However, we should do next important step: the implementation of sharing at the level of the global community. Sharing resources in local communities are a good thing, but it still creates "islands" of justice and abundance in the middle of the "sea" of poverty and hunger. Justice is not justice until there are still 805 million people hungry worldwide, despite the fact that we have enough food for all. (World Food Programme).

But it's not just for food; many people around the world do not have access to many other basic goods, such as clean water, adequate shelter and access to education and health care. The right to meet basic needs is a fundamental human right and can not be dependent on human economic or any other status. Are starving children guilty because his parents due to various circumstances do not have enough money or because his country was in a difficult economic situation?

Establishing a permanent global sharing mechanism of most important resources to meet basic human needs, it is simple and effective solution to the most shameful problems of humanity, of which hunger is in the first place. United Nations (UN) that brings together all the world's countries is the best place to create such mechanism.

Countries will inform special newly created UN agency for sharing about their surplus or shortages, and agency will coordinate direct "flow" of resources between countries. Thus, we establish permanent pool of key global resources that have always been available to those who need it.

Richest countries at first contributed more, but in the future the developing countries will also contribute more its resources because of better condition of their economies.

With global sharing, no country would be "looser" because we were sharing only surpluses that often finished on giant garbage dumps of a modern world. Annually in the world, for example, we throw away unimaginable 1.3 billion tons of food, or one-third of all food produced for human use (UNEP). It is quite clear that there is enough food for everyone, but we need an effective global sharing mechanism to meet needs of every person on Earth.

Almost impossible is to imagine how beneficial effect would have sharing to the entire international community. Not only ending hunger, global sharing of key resources could be crucial to solving many global conflicts and would be the best way to permanent world peace. One hundred years after the beginning of World War I was about time for it.
