JOIN THE CONVERSATION
A Constitution of the Earth is the is the proposal put forward by Italian philosopher and jurist Luigi Ferrajoli to transform international law into a tool truly capable of addressing major global challenges.
INTERVIEWS
We have launched the debate
We are fostering a discussion on Ferrajoli's proposal for a planetary constitution by gathering insights from experts in various fields.
THE ASSESSMENT
Humanity: at a crossroads?
The proposal for A Constitution of the Earth is based on a clear assessment of current catastrophes and their global scale. Faced with this situation, we must either change course or the conditions necessary for life on this planet will cease to exist.
-
The nuclear threat
Weapons of mass destruction are in the hands of major powers that are currently at odds with one another. In just 20 minutes, the planet could be destroyed if these conflicts were to escalate.
-
The environmental crisis
The model of global capitalism is destroying nature’s common goods as if we were the last generations living on Earth.
-
The humanitarian emergency
Inequalities, poverty, hunger, untreated diseases and human rights violations are on the rise.
-
Labour exploitation
Unchecked globalization has destroyed the right to work, increasing precariousness and turning labour into a commodity.
-
The plight of migrants
Hundreds of thousands of migrants each year from one or more of these crises, and if they do not die during their odysseys, they face oppression and discrimination at their destinations.
No government, not even the most powerful one, can tackle challenges of this magnitude on its own. We need a Planetary Constitution that establishes global institutions capable of guaranteeing the principles of peace, fundamental rights, and the common good.
