8.4. Transnational Commons' Forces

The biggest difference between the World Commonwealth and the United Nations (UN) is that the former is not based on the political unit of nations, which means that it is not based on the premise of an army (national military). The World Commonwealth is not a "collective security" organization like the UN, but a non-military "permanent peace" organization.

Therefore, the World Commonwealth Charter, which corresponds to the constitution, has the abolition of arms as its most important clause, and the Zones that make up the World Commonwealth are not allowed to possess their own military organizations. 

As a result, most conflicts are resolved through the two-stage non-military process mentioned in the previous article, and the WC should not need its own military force. However, we do not exclude cases where such non-military solutions have limitations, or where a certain amount of force is necessary to monitor peace after a conflict is resolved. Therefore, as a practical policy, the World Commonwealth should be allowed to possess a certain amount of armed organization - transnational commons' forces.

Even in this case, the transnational commons' forces do not need to be a full-fledged military organization; under the current system, an armed police organization like the gendarmerie of France and French-speaking countries would be sufficient. Such an armed police organization directly under the World Commonwealth would be a standing armed police force of a certain size, with small naval and air units for transport purposes only attached.

However, this organization would not be completely integrated, and it would be more realistic for the actual forces to be supervised by the Peace Council, with Zones that have concluded agreements with the Council entrusted with recruiting and training troops in accordance with the World Commonwealth's regulations, and then integrated and operated by the Command Commission, a subordinate organ of the Council, based on the Council's deployment resolution.

In addition to the above, there is also the separate issue of whether or not we should have forces for the defense of the entire Earth. At the moment, this is a bit like science fiction, but it is a preparation for extraterrestrial attacks or more realistic situations such as a meteorite impact.

There is no rush to reach a definitive conclusion on this issue, but if such a global defense capability is to be maintained, then again it does not need to be a full-fledged military organization; an organization such as an air defense alert force for exclusively defensive purposes would be necessary and sufficient.

There is no rush to reach a definitive conclusion on this issue, but if such a global defense capability is to be maintained, then again it does not need to be a full-fledged military organization; an organization such as an air defense alert force for exclusively defensive purposes would be necessary and sufficient.

In any case, it must not be forgotten that the World Commonwealth in its ultimate form is a permanent peace organization free from all military force, and that the transnational commons' forces retained from a practical standpoint should also be the minimum necessary and supplemental.

8.3. Dispute Resolution Institutions

Even under the World Commonwealth where the world is united as one, it is impossible to completely eliminate disputes such as border disputes between constituent Zones, issues regarding the attribution of specific regions, and even issues of separation within Zones. In preparation for such cases, the World Commonwealth prepares a two-tiered system.

The first is judicial settlement. This type of transnational justice is primarily carried out by a Judicial Committee established in the Commons' Convention of the Grand-Zone, which is the regional unity of Zones. The Judicial Committee of the Grand-Zonal Commons' Convention (hereinafter simply referred to as the Judicial Committee) is a permanent institution established as a collegial body composed of judges from neutral Zones within the Grand-Zone other than the Zones involved in the dispute.

The Judicial Committee is initiated when one of the Zones involved in the dispute files a legal lawsuit with the Judicial Committee, and does not require the agreement of all the Zones involved. The decision of the Judicial Committee is binding on all the Zones involved.

However, a dissatisfied Zone may appeal. The Judicial Council of the World Commonwealth is responsible for the appellate hearing. The Judicial Council is a non-permanent body that is established whenever an appeal is made, and its members are composed of Zones other than the Zones of the parties to the dispute. Appeal decisions are final, and a third trial is not permitted.

The World Commonwealth's judicial settlement, which has no concept of national sovereignty, is recognized as binding on the Zones of the parties to the dispute, so it is expected that most disputes will be resolved judicially. However, in case a settlement cannot be reached, conflict mediation and peacemaking will be provided by the World Commonwealth's Peace Council. That is,

When the Peace Council recognizes the occurrence or real danger of an armed conflict, it first appoints an "emergency mediation panel" made up of experts from neutral Zones other than the Zones of the dispute, and works to end the conflict.

Even if the mediation by this "emergency mediation panel" is successful, a "peace-making group" made up of professionally trained personnel will be kept on standby under the Peace Council to prevent recurrence and monitor the implementation of the mediation, and can be dispatched to the conflict area at any time upon a resolution of the Peace Council.

8.2. Core and principal organs, etc.

The World Commonwealth will be composed of the World Commons' Convention, which is also its General Assembly, as its core organ, as well as an executive body and other principal organs, and various subsidiary and specialized bodies. There is no single concrete proposal, but I will give one possible example here, taking into account the contents I have previously written in the form of articles in my "World Commonwealth Charter" - For details on the outline and powers of each body, please refer to the "Charter."

First, in terms of the overall structure, the basic premise is that all organs, including the Conference of the Grand-Zonal Permanent Representatives Plenipotentiary, which will act as the executive body of the World Commonwealth, will belong to the World Commons' Convention, or General Assembly which is the core organ. Here too, a ｍulti-headed dragon-like structure such as the separation of powers will be avoided.

The principal organs include the Conference of Plenipotentiaries, as well as the Sustainability Council, Peace Council, Judicial Council, Social and Cultural Council, which are all separate meetings of the General Assembly, and the Board of Human Rights Review and Enforcement.

Of the above, the main duties of each Council are to handle transnational issues that arise in each of its fields of responsibility and to draft related draft world treaties. The member Zones of the Councils are selected by lottery for a fixed term of office, and the General Assembly delegates representing that Zone serve as Council delegates.

All Zones must participate in this lottery, but a single Zone cannot serve as a member on more than one Council at the same time, and cannot serve as a member on the same Council for two consecutive terms.

Since each Council is a separate meeting of the General Assembly, council resolutions are not final in themselves, and they do not take effect until they are finally deliberated and passed at the General Assembly.

Subsidiary bodies and specialized agencies are established under each Council, which will carry out specialized practical work in their respective fields of responsibility under the supervision of the Council. Many of the specialized agencies will likely be successors to the current UN specialized agencies.

However, because the World Commonwealth are constructed as a communist global superstructure, specialized agencies based on a monetary economy and capitalism such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank will be abolished.

The most important subsidiary agency unique to the World Commonwealth will be the Economic Planning Organization. Economic planning are carried out in each Zone by the Economic Planning Conference that is independent of the Commons' Convention, but economic planning at the World Commonwealth level are carried out by the Economic Planning Organization that will be placed under the Sustainability Council.
