We must exert every effort to avert war and civil unrest. The majority of conflicts take place in
underdeveloped nations, particularly those that are poorly governed or where income and power
are not allocated equally among various tribal or religious groups. Therefore, creating a political
structure with representatives for each group is the best method to stop fighting. It is essential to
guarantee everyone's economic prosperity and human rights.

The UN charter does not mention the following essential freedom. The leaders had no idea that a
situation like this would develop in 1945. Future generations will have the freedom to inhabit this
planet.

the scarce resources. We are wasting them and using them excessively. In actuality, we are
depriving our kids of their right to life.

Our wildlife, fisheries, and forests must all be protected. Because of our own behaviour of eating
or destroying them, all of these are crumbling.
