Origin and history of the Earth Charter

In 1987 the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development issued a call for creation of a new charter that would set forth fundamental principles for sustainable development. The drafting of an Earth Charter was part of the unfinished business of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. In 1994 Maurice Strong, the Secretary General of the Earth Summit and Chairman of the Earth Council, and Mikhail Gorbachev, President of Green Cross International, launched a new Earth Charter initiative with support from the Dutch government. An Earth Charter Commission was formed in 1997 to oversee the project and an Earth Charter Secretariat was established at the Earth Council in Costa Rica.

Wake up folks this is already here for you!

Micheal O'Brien's end times trilogy has a character partly based on Strong. He's not in the most popular book, i.e. father elijah, but in the book Eclipse of the sun he plays a large roll...

Translation of document in a nutshell:

"We know what's best for you so we plan to take control of your lives...sure, you'll be slaves, but that's what is best for you. Us in charge? Oh, we will be exempt from the rules (we'll endure the deprivation somehow) so we can keep you safe from all harmful thought."
