Citizens for Global Solutions (CGS) condemns the recent violence around Jerusalem and in Gaza. Violence never brings peace. It only begets more violence. Innocent people, children and adults, are being injured and killed. Human rights are being abused.
Given our current system of global governance, situations such as these are inevitable. CGS stands with the World Federalist Movement in urging world leaders to build a new system, a democratic United Federation of Nations with the authority to make and enforce world law. It is the only way to end war and global violence, environmental devastation, widespread human rights abuses, and global health crises. The law of force must be replaced with the force of law.

This essay by Marina Henke was awarded co-second place in the 2020 contest sponsored by the St. Louis Chapter of Citizens for Global Solutions.
The most fruitful step the United States can make towards improving global life involves a correction of its past missteps, a new foreign policy. Ever apparent in this last century of rampant globalization, the United States carries a marred past of covert and extractive involvement with democratically weakened countries. In this essay I assert that such interventions have done more damage than good, consistently putting the United States in tension with overall stability in global life. In contrast, involvement with democratically weakened countries should focus more than it has on building alliances and initiating mutually-beneficial intergovernmental efforts.
