LOOKING FOR
SOLUTIONS
(it isn't easy...)

Serious dialogue is needed

Among the nations at war

Among powerful countries

Among all of us

International
organizations

International
organizations

They should be improvedThey should be updatedThey should be adapted to the new and ever changing world reality.

UNO

All countries should
belong to it

Abolish the right to veto

NGOs

Famous prizes

r

Not as a motivation, but as a recognition. Furthermore, they spread good actions and performances internationally.

Nobel Prize

Peace

Economy

Others

PrĂ­ncipe de Asturias

Possible actions taken by a third party

Control

Armaments sale

Forbid

Allow

It gives "equal opportunities" to make war

r

This sounds terrible but...Powerful countries don't want other countries to have the same opportunities to arm themselves or make war. The don't rely on those countries to be as responsible and sensible as they consider themselves to be.

Black market

Armaments production

Ordinary weapons

Nuclear weapons

Cluster bombs

r

We know that Spain produces and legally exports this type of bombs, while condemning their use at the same time! (economic hypocrisy)

Landmines

Personal, private weapons

r

We can find quite an eloquent example in the USA.

Biological warfare

Neutral areas should be created

Be careful!

r

This has often caused several problems, but it can still be a possible solution to very specific conflicts.

Strategies to reach agreements on

Peace

Isolation of certain countries

Boycott

Armament reduction

Economic sanctions

Education

Public
opinion

Mass
media

r

The mass media should be "reeducated". They have unluckily become the "fourth power" and they often exert their influence as such: manipulating, deceiving, hiding facts, determining priorities, being biased, etc.

Objectivity

Neutralism

Responsibility

Schools

r

Future depends on them in the mid- and long-term, but we are not being efficient enough because of the methods used up till now.

Social mobilization

Social mobilization

r

Whether we believe in it or not, it is growing increasingly important and necessary. Governments are becoming less and less representative of the population; their strategies to reach agreements to their advantage and the evolution of democratic political systems are distorting the real meaning of such concept. Voting is not enough, we must take part in social and political life by using more active means.

Strikes

Demonstrations

Charity actions

Web 2.0

Common aspects
World dimension

Human rights

It is not easy to state them in a common and universal way

Laws

r

There are so many doubts concerning this topic:Should the executive, the judiciary and the legislature depend on a unique international organization?. Is a global organization desirable?Is it possible to have common rules for so many different cultures, religions and values?

Legislators

Courts

The executive

Army?

Government?
