-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Global Harmony Association

Statutes

I. Preamble

1. The Global Harmony Association is a non governmental and not-for-profit International Organization, which was created by the International Website "Peace from Harmony" authors in October-November, 2007. The Website "A New Culture of Peace from Social Harmony and Children’s Priority", shortly: "Peace from Harmony" (www.peacefromharmony.org) makes the centre of the Global Harmony Association communication space and also its main information body and resource. The Global Harmony Association constituent members (new co-founders) can be any international or national organizations sharing its Statutes. Initially, these are the o­nes listed o­n the site.

2. The International Website "Peace from Harmony" was created o­n February 15, 2005. It now unites more than 240 authors: scientists, writers, artists and peace activists from 39 countries of all continents of the world and is published in 17 languages. Its Founder and Director is the social philosopher and sociologist Dr Leo M. Semashko of St. Petersburg, Russia.

3. The Global Harmony Association is based o­n recognition of an inherent social harmony of sphere classes, globally and in each nation, and o­n an understanding of their natural evolution, which incorporate a peaceful essence of humankind to ensure its survival. Sphere classes differ from other historical classes and groups by their characteristics of universality, social partnership and mutual aid, which exclude the potential for antagonisms, competitive, struggles and enmity among them. Sphere classes of humankind reproduce themselves by reproducing each other, and, by their very nature, make the social base for global harmony. Self-conscious awareness of sphere classes and their conscious creation of global harmony are possible o­nly at a high level of development of humankind: at the level of an information civilization, replacing an industrial civilization at a stage of its inevitable crisis and decay. The essentially new, harmonious era of a human history begins with an information civilization. The scientific understanding of sphere classes and the harmonious era, connected with them, found the first expression in the collective works of the "Peace from Harmony" site authors: "Harmonious Era Calendar" (2006-2007, by 38 authors) and "Magna Carta of Harmony for an information civilization" (2007, by 43 authors), published o­n the site and in the books written in the basic world languages. These books are distributed through many countries and libraries o­n all continents. They include a comprehensive, scientific analysis of social harmony, which is now the worldview of the Global Harmony Association. This worldview of harmony or harmonious worldview is acceptable for all people of the world. Therefore the Harmony Association includes Global in its title. This worldview unites universal, humanitarian values of harmony and provides a new spirituality and general cultural nucleus for a new information era.

4. The Global Harmony Association recognizes a nonviolent and evolutionary way for the establishment of social harmony in the world and in every country. The harmonious state, harmonious education of children and harmonious human development are the basic ways for its establishment. The harmonious state is structured o­n the spheres. It governs the societal spheres as a natural and fundamental source of harmony, yet also gives back the private jurisdiction to an overwhelming majority of the economic branches and enterprises/firms making spheres. The harmonious state serves to interests of sphere classes of all population instead of private groups. Spheres are a structural and organizational synonym of harmony. The state, organized o­n spheres, becomes the key instrument for creation and development of social harmony in any country. The basic ways and means of theharmoniousstatein an establishment of social harmony are: economic equilibrium of the spheres; the eradication of hunger and extreme poverty; restriction on ‘superincomes’; children’s suffrage and their priority; the ministries and departments of peace; full disarmament; religious and interfaith harmonization;harmonious science, art and impartial mass-media; harmonious culture of peace;sharing in harmonious language like Esperanto; harmonizinginformationtechnologies and uses;harmoniouseducation; harmonious public health service and environment; and harmonious democracy through harmonious legislation and harmonious political multi-party system. Through the harmonious family, harmonious spirituality and harmonious worldview the state becomes nonviolent and creates a harmonious energy of mutual, unconditional love among the peoples, sphere classes, nations, genders and generations.

5. The creation of the Global Harmony Association, its Statutes and managing Committees are the first attempt at the organizational expression of social harmony o­n the basis of an appropriate worldview and corresponding spirituality. The members, Committees and activities (projects) of the Global Harmony Association are structured according to four inherent spheres and sphere classes of humankind.

6. The Website "Peace from Harmony" Director is the first President of the Global Harmony Association. The President is responsible the Association members and its Committees and he/or she announces decisions o­nly coordinated with them. In o­ne year the procedure of the Association President election and also recognition of the world peacemakers as the Honorary Presidents and World Leaders of Global Harmony will be established.

7. The Global Harmony Association (further: Association) Statutes are approved and annually corrected by its Committees in September - November with the purpose of maintaining consensus. The Association Statutes will be registered at the UN and UNESCO. The Association appoints in these organizations the representatives, who are included in the Board staff.

8. The Association headquarters is based in that country and in that city, where all necessary and favorable conditions for the Association activities, according its Statutes, can be created. The Association creates the regional branches worldwide.

II. Principles

9. The Association’s ultimate aim is global social harmony, the world energy which creates the common good for all ethnicities, universal human rights and dignity, harmonious education and harmonious social consciousness, wakening harmonious sustainable development and unconditional love within humankind; with the main focus o­n a priority for the children of the world and harmonious peace culture that excludes wars, enmity, famine, poverty, and also humiliation and suffering from them. This broad aim includes the similar narrower purposes of other peace organizations aspiring to social harmony for a better world without wars.

10. On the basis of voluntary consent the Association unites the citizens of the world, as representatives of different cultures, religions, and civilizations of the world, and also various public and others organizations sharing its worldview and Statutes. The main organizational task for the Global Harmony Association consists in strengthening the organizations included in it and in widening their opportunities for achievement of universal purposes of peace and harmony. The Association creates a new civil quality and organizational energy for the solving of the global problems of humankind through the union of the many (possibly thousands) of isolated but related organizations. It is a task of globalization of peace and harmony.

11. The Association welcomes cooperation and integration with other international and national non governmental organizations (NGOs) and also with the creative associations, institutions and enterprises/firms, which recognize its views and Statutes, share its ultimate aim in some part and do not contradict to other its part.Affiliation or integration into the Association by any organization is registered officially in a separate agreement signed by the parties, which is included in the Association Statutes. These organizations are the collective members of the Association.

12. Each organization in the Association has the right to its own ideological, cultural and organizational diversity (pluralism), which aspires to harmony and does not contradict the Association’s worldview and Statutes.

13. The Principles of Individual and Social Harmony, formulated in the "Magna Carta of Harmony" (2007) are recognized as the basic principles of the Association. Their fundamental values are: tolerance, respect, understanding, dialogue, compromise, consent, consensus and mutual aid. Consensus and mutual aid as the higher forms of harmony are the adequate method for the spiritual and organizational life of the Association and all of its Committees and members.

14. The search for consensus o­n the Statutes and other important Association documents is multi-level aimed at including in discussion all members of the Association and by several steps to avoid an infinite number of disagreements. At the first step the document is coordinated within the framework of the 4-5 most competent and responsible members. Then, it is transferred for discussion and approval of the Association Committees (more than 30 persons). Then, it is transferred for discussion to all members of the Association (more than 200 persons). In o­ne year the process is repeated if consensus is not found. The Board specifies other documents, besides Statutes, that also undergo this process so that the search for consensus is democratic, transparent and practically continuous. During the discussions and voting, the silence of an organization member is considered as a mark of the consent.

15. All organizations which cooperate and integrate with the Association have equal rights and duties and will be co-managed by their Presidents and the common Committees, formed o­n the principle of equality.

16. Each organization which cooperates or integrates with the Association has the right to cease its membership, and should inform the Board two months before its exit.

17. The Association reserves the right to be released from any member organization that breaks its principles or discredits its Statutes.

18. The Association’s ultimate aim is reached through the realization of the various projects offered and fulfilled by its members. The list of these projects is shown below and are a part of the Statutes. Two hours per month is recognized as the minimal participation of an Association member in its projects and as his/her minimal contribution to global harmony and mutual aid. The resource of the collective time of the Association members is the main resource for fulfilling its projects and purposes, and also it is the resource for partnership, cooperation and the overcoming of alienation.

19. An Association member is any world citizen who shares the Association’s Statutes, actively participates in at least o­ne project and helps the Association by the annual membership fee of USD10 (for developing countries) and of USD50 (for developed countries). Donations are also welcomed. Children, all students and disabled persons are exempt from the membership fees. The membership fees are paid in November - December each year. The annual membership fees are directed to its first and major project: "Making children a priority in the world", by transfer of membership fees in o­ne of the developing countries to meet the needs of poor and disabled children. It will be a symbol of the Association’s aspiration to social harmony by starting with children and through children. This process is set out in the Association’s separate document: "Order of transfer of the Association membership fees to children in need". The members who have paid fees are recognized as full members. Other members are recognized as potential members (or members-candidates). o­nly full members can be the members of the Association’s Committees. All questions of membership are resolved by the Board Association.

20. The communication space of the Association is solely devoted to the promotion of the Culture of Peace. All political accusations, expressions of violence, and all infringements of Human Rights recognized by the UN are incompatible with Association membership.

III. Guidelines for Global Harmony Association Committees

21. The primary guidelines for the formation and work of all the Association Committees are consensus, mutual aid and assistance as the higher forms of harmony. The Association should show the example of internal, organizational harmony in consensus and mutual aid so as to correspond to the name "Harmony Association." We should aspire to harmony, not o­nly within and between individuals, but also within and between the collective organization of the Association and all of its Committees. The aspiration to consensus and mutual aid applies to all steps in the formation and work of all the Committees but within certain limits: the search for consensus is limited by time frames of from 1 to 4 weeks. If consensus is not found, decisions are accepted by the principle "of the majority." For deciding urgent questions, the President can reduce the time for the search for consensus to just o­ne week. All documents and decisions accepted by a majority vote are reviewed in the following year and a new search for consensus is undertaken. If consensus is still not attained, the search for consensus by this procedure continues in the subsequent years.

22. Consensus in voluntary organizations begins, first of all, with the agreement and wish of its member to actively participate and consent to the requirements of the various Committees. An Association member chooses o­ne or more projects or initiatives from the Association’s list (below) and decides o­n the hours of employment to be devoted to the project(s) per day, week or month. This commitment is entirely a matter of personal choice. Nobody has the right to interfere with it.

23. The Association President, expressing the general requirements, determines the consensus of personal desires and collective interests. He formthe Committees choosing from those who wish to staff the Committees in accordance with the tasks of these Committees and with the hours of employment to be devoted to the project(s). The President reports personal staff of the Committees to Association members and publishes this information o­n the site.

24. The procedure for updating Committees is made annually in September - October o­n the President’s initiative. He has the right to not include in the Committees those members who have failed to meet their commitments.

25. The Association has three primary Committees: the Board as a primary Committee of operative management; the Honorary Advisory Committee as a primary Advisory Committee; the Council of Directors as a primary linguistic and translation Committee. The creation of other Committees is possible. At this stage o­nly two Committees have been created: the Board and the Advisory Committee.

26. Each Committee is competent at half from its limiting number (can operate with half of its maximum staff).

27. The President has the right to add new staff up to the maximum number any Committee at any time.

28. The Board approves the Statutes and other normative documents of the Association after, usually, a recommendation from Advisory Committee.

29. The common communication space in English for the Association members is the yahoo-forum. It is used o­nly for discussion of the Association projects and distribution of general information, but not for the exchange of personal information. All members of the Association Committees should join this forum. Any group of the Association and also each Committee can create a separate communication network.

IV. The Global Harmony Association primary Committees

30. The Board is a basic operative executive Committee of 12 persons that discusses and ratifies the decisions o­n any questions of the Association, within no more that two weeks. The decisions about complex questions are usually accepted o­n the basis of recommendations by the Advisory Committee. The Board members have the right to pose any question concerning the Association. Each Board member chooses for himself o­ne or several directions (projects) of activity, or suggests new o­nes, which should be approved by the Board. The main requirement of each Board member is participation in discussions, and acceptance of the operative decisions o­n all questions decided by the majority. The response should be made within 1-2 days. Members who are o­n holiday and away from their computers should inform the Board. The Board Chair can discharge or replace the Board member if he does not accept participation in its work 1 month for the unknown reasons.
    The Board is headed by the Chair, who is the President, and the Vice-chair, who is elected by Board o­n the Board Chair recommendation.

31. The Honorary Advisory Committee is created as a managing Committee with the status of a collective advisory or consultative body. Working recommendations for the Board o­n the Association each project (direction) is the Advisory Committee basic task. It comprises from 15 to 25 outstanding and skilled members, who are very busy members of our Association, and cannot participate in the work of the Board (i.e., cannot participate in discussions and react in during 1-2 days) but who can bring to the Association large benefit and help by their advice and recommendations. All questions and documents, presented at this Committee, are discussed within 1-3 weeks and its recommendations are reported to the Board. A Committee member may or may not participate in discussions. However, if he/she does not participate in discussions of any question for o­ne year, the following year his/her place is considered as vacant.
    The Committee is headed by the Chair and two Vice-Chairs who are elected by the Committee o­n the President’s recommendation. o­ne Vice-Chair is from the Russian-speaking part of the Committee and the other is from the English-speaking part of the Committee.

32. The Council of Directors is a basic linguistic and translational Committee. It is created from the Directors of the linguistic segments of our site for translation of the site texts and pages from the base languages (Russian and English) to others languages established o­n our site. Each Director has the right to define the segments priority pages, their design, translations, size etc. The Directors are responsible for our site linguistic sectors, for widening of the publications o­n each of them, and in the main, for widening the audience, first of all youth, for our site in each of these language. At strength this Council corresponds to the number of the site languages. We have now 17 languages o­n the site, therefore this Council should comprise 17 Directors. (The Director’s work will require his/her time for the text translations. This requires payment. Therefore, this body can work o­nly when the Association will have money for its payment.)
    The Council of Directors is headed by the Chair and the Vice-chair, who are elected by Council o­n the Presidents’ recommendation.

The possible Directors o­n languages:

1. Ukrainian - Alexander Verbitsky, he already translated into the Ukrainian language our Calendar and 14 site pages,

2. Esperanto - Viatcheslav Ivanov, he translated Magna Carta and some site pages into Esperanto,

Global Harmony Association: Final Letter about Statutes

Dear Global Harmony Association Members and Friends!

We, Dr Leo Semashko and Dr Renato Corsetti, are glad to inform you (more than 200 persons), that the revised Association’s Statutes as presented above and o­n the site: http://www.peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=249, were approved by the consensus of the Board and Honorary Advisory Committee Members (by 31 persons). The approval of the Statutes is the birth of an organization. We congratulate all members of the Global Harmony Association o­n the birth o­n November 30, 2007! It was brought about by our site "Peace from Harmony" authors! Honour and praise to us!

The work o­n the Statutes took about two months, and the consensus search took 4 weeks, time-limit (clause 21), since November 2. It was a difficult and laborious work, which practically began anew after the IFLAC (Ada Aharoni) announced about its independence o­n November 12. The consensus search was not done without ideological conflicts, which, however, strengthened harmony and cleared the internal atmosphere. Even in harmony, the new does not come without conflicts with the old. The consensus search was finished, from our point of view, by the excellent success in the creation of an unprecedented organizational document of global scale and importance. As the artist from Romania, Tatomir Ion-Marius, expressed poetically: "After some clouds passed away, it seems the Statutes begin to shine in clarity as the sun o­n the clear sky." Prof. Charles Mercieca with no less enthusiasm responded about it: "These highly inspired and providential statutes may eventually serve as a springboard to the development and implementation of a genuine world peace."

The Statutes incorporate the ideas of about 20 members of "Peace from harmony". Now it is impossible to list all of the changes and additions made during the last month. o­n behalf of the Board and Honorary Advisory Committee we express deep gratitude to everyone, who actively participated in the discussion, but first of all to Martha Ross DeWitt, Reimon Bachika, Tholana Chakravarthy, Harold W. Becker, Claude Veziau, Guy Crequie, Nina Goncharova, Tatomir Ion-Marius, Ivan Ivanov, Yury Dorofeev, Olga Ushakova, Vladimir Kavtorin and another. We express special gratitude to Dr Bernard Scott, from England, who edited the Statutes text three times.

No o­ne from the members has rejected the Statutes. But in them there are roughnesses, which will be corrected annually. 3-4 members, approving the Statutes as a whole, objected to some of its rules. For example, Yury Dorofeev disagrees the with annual updating of the Statutes. Harold and others offered changes to clause 19 about membership fees in the last day of discussion, and they will be discussed in o­ne year, if a compromise is not found. But these private disagreements do not affect consensus in the approval of our Statutes as a whole. We congratulate all with this consensus as o­ne of highest displays of harmony. Our Association begins its history with consensus.

The Statutes outstanding advantages include:

1. A scientific definition of social harmony as natural relations among the four sphere classes of humankind and the inevitability of the establishment of global harmony in an information society, o­nly by such harmony can humankind survive and prosper.

2. The recognition that o­nly evolutionary ways lead to social harmony.

3. The establishment of social harmony through the harmonious state, harmonious education of children and their priority and harmonious human development. The harmonious state is a sphere state. It governs the societal spheres as a natural and fundamental source of harmony, yet also gives back the private jurisdiction to an overwhelming majority of the economic branches and enterprises/firms that make up the spheres. The harmonious state serves the interests of the sphere classes of all the population not just of private groups.

4. The integration o­n these ideas and purposes of by a multitude of international and national organizations aspiring to peace and harmony in separate directions: through art, education, health, environment etc. The main organizational task for the Global Harmony Association consists in strengthening the organizations united within it and in widening their opportunities for the achievement of the universal goals of peace and harmony. Thus is achieving a globalization of peace and harmony.

These advantages of the Statutes make the Global Harmony Association acceptable and attractive for the many thousands of organizations aspiring to a better world beyond wars, enmity and poverty.

For the near future: invitations to the first three actions of harmony.

1. According to the approved Statutes, in December we should pay the membership fees (clause 19), join in o­ne of the projects and confirm it by our full membership in the Global Harmony Association. This year, o­n the Board’s decision, our fees will be directed to the disabled children’s organization in Calcutta, India (President, Dr.Maitreyee Bardhan Roy). The "Order of transfer of the Association membership fees to children in need" was published o­n the site together with the Statutes. In the coming days, those responsible for the transfer of the membership fees for 2007, Tholana Chakravarti and Maitreyee Bardhan Roy, will inform you of the necessary accounts and addresses. It is desirable, you send membership fees by Christmas, as your Christmas gift for the children. It will be the first action of the Global Harmony Association, confirming its aspiration to harmony.

2. Each member of Association can express its opinion concerning changes or additions to the Statutes during the next year, but it is best to do so in the near future. Your opinions will be collected. They will be discussed in o­ne year according to clause 7. You can send your opinions to us or any member of the Board and Committee or to our forum: peace-from-harmony@yahoogroups.com. It will be by the continuous search for consensus that confirmation of our harmonious intentions will be affirmed.

3. We invite the 30 organizations listed o­n our site, "Peace from harmony", first to discuss the question of joining the Global Harmony Association as o­ne of its co-founders or affiliated organizations, according to its Statutes, and to choose from the general projects for united activity.

With the best regards for our newborn Global Harmony Association,

Dr Leo Semashko, President, Board Chair, Global Harmony Association

Dr Renato Corsetti, Honorary Advisory Committee Chair, Global Harmony Association
