United Democracies

Globalization and Migration

The United Democracies of the World UNDW envisions a future starkly contrasting with the current US Administration of economic nationalism fostered by anti-globalist and anti-migration sentiments gaining traction today.
We believe that isolating ourselves through restrictive policies will stifle economic growth, trade, and overall sustainability. Instead, UNDW proposes the creation of a powerful economic bloc comprised of democratic nations, a unified force capable of navigating the complexities of the modern world. This bloc would foster a common market, promoting free trade and economic growth for all members while safeguarding their territories and resources from external pressures.

GLOBALIZATION
Our vision of globalism is one built upon a strong foundation of collaboration within our United Democracies (UNDW) forum. We prioritize expanding economic opportunities for all participating nations, fostering mutual growth through trade, investment, and sustainable development. By focusing on internal collaboration, we can unlock the immens potential of developed and developing member states. The enthusiasm for growth within the UNDW single market is palpable, with many developing countries striving to achieve comparable standards to the West. This aspiration is within reach if we commit to joint investment and shared progress. The era of indifference is behind us; now is the time for active engagement in each other's success and create new successes with eachother..


NEW FREE VISA TRAVEL SYSTEM
Regarding migration, UNDW proposes a streamlined and secure free travel visa system within the bloc. Applicants would undergo a rigorous security check and obtain a '"travel warrantee'" from their home country before applying for a visa in the destination country.

This warranteeing agency would be responsible for the traveler, ensuring accountability and mitigating concerns about overstays, with extradition costs borne by the warranteeing nation in case of visa violations. This system aims to address anxieties surrounding illicit migration while enabling the free flow of people for legitimate purposes, whether tourism, work, business, sport, family visits, or for instance medical treatment. Member states could independently negotiate fair quotas with eachother.

REFUGEES AND MiGRATION
Furthermore, UNDW takes a distinct stance on refugees and asylum seekers. We commit to avoiding military interventions outside the bloc, thereby minimizing our responsibility for creating refugee crises. In the event of refugee flows from neighboring nations due to conflict, UNDW would support the establishment of border camps, primarily funded by the UN and supplemented by UNDW resources, until safe return is possible. We reject the US/UK led "bombing-but-not-taking-the-refugees" approach (BREXIT), holding those responsible for the refugee crisis accountable.  In addition, it has to be noted that Russia never accomodated any refugees from Syria (except Asad), Afghanistan, Ukraine or Saharan Africa (Wagner wars), and that no African or Syrian migrants live there!

DEMOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES
Finally, UNDW acknowledges the demographic challenges faced by many nations, particularly those with aging populations and labor shortages. Member states would have the opportunity to invite workers and specialists from within the UNDW bloc, addressing their specific needs while ensuring that educated professionals are not drained from other member states. This collaborative approach aims to create mutually beneficial migration schemes that support economic growth and address demographic imbalances within the UNDW framework. By prioritizing collaboration and fostering a shared sense of responsibility, UNDW believes that a balanced approach to migration can be achieved, one that benefits both sending and receiving nations.

AN UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH: ECONOMIC GROWTH AND MIGRATION

Western nations relentlessly pursue economic growth, often lamenting the impact of recessions. However, a deeper examination reveals a potentially uncomfortable truth: economic growth, as currently structured, is inextricably linked to migration. The very foundation of this growth model relies on population increase and housing construction.

A nation's economic credibility, particularly its ability to secure external loans, is largely underpinned by its national total real estate value. The total value of its national assests serves as a perceived collateral, providing assurance to lenders. The government can levy upon all property and rights to property, or the National Bank can increase interest rates, what they actually do.

These external loans, in turn, fuel further economic expansion. While export earnings are crucial for balancing external debt, it is ultimately the perceived value of a nation's housing market that dictates its perceived wealth and borrowing power. The total real estate value of a nation is a multifold of its GDP!

Consider the implications of halting housing construction. The immediate consequence would be a significant slowdown, if not a complete cessation, of economic growth. Now, envision a scenario where a nation reverses its course on immigration, sending migrants back to their home countries. Suddenly, a substantial portion of urban housing complexes, perhaps as much as 50% in their city centers, stand vacant.

The economic repercussions would be devastating. The collapse of financial institutions, heavily invested in real estate, would be a near certainty. National banks, having printed the currency to finance the construction of these now-empty dwellings, would face an existential crisis. Real estate prices would plummet, potentially rendering properties virtually worthless.

Imagine the plight of homeowners now burdened with mortgages on properties that have halved in value due to widespread vacancies and availability of empty houses. The financial strain on individuals and the economy as a whole would be immense, triggered by the sudden absence of the very demographic that fueled the initial growth.

This thought experiment highlights the precarious nature of an economic model heavily reliant on continuous population growth and real estate appreciation. While addressing concerns surrounding immigration is a legitimate policy debate, policymakers must acknowledge the profound and potentially destabilizing economic consequences of reversing the trend without considering alternative models for sustainable and equitable growth. Ignoring this connection risks a far greater economic crisis than any recession.

WORLD CLASS CITIES WITH 80% MIGRANTS OF COLOR

Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Singapore stand out as some of the most beautiful, exciting, and economically vibrant cities globally. These remarkable city-states are renowned for their friendliness, hospitality, and freedoms, often surpassing those found in many other nations. They are highly desirable locations for individuals seeking quality living environments.

What might surprise many is the demographic makeup of these cities. In Abu Dhabi, and Dubai migrants comprise approximately 80% of the population, with native Emiratis making up the remaining 20%. Imagine living in your home city where the vast majority of residents are from other countries, yet you experience absolute peace and safety.
Similarly, in Singapore, the original Malay inhabitants now constitute only about 15% of the population, with the majority being of Chinese descent. Despite this, Singapore is consistently ranked among the most beautiful and peaceful places globally. The hospitality in these burgeoning city-states is truly unmatched. People from all over the world thrive in the local environment, even though the original citizens form a minority. Discrimination is virtually nonexistent, regardless of skin color or origin.


The success of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Singapore offers a valuable model for countries worldwide. These examples illustrate how diverse populations can coexist harmoniously, fostering economic growth and creating thriving, welcoming societies.

Warfare Refugee Crisis, and its political implications

China 's BRICS Friends

MILLIONS OF REFUGEES DUE TO US/UK LED REGIME CHANGES, COUNTERED BY RUSSIA

The interventions in various regions, such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Ukraine, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Gaza, and Iran, led predominantly by the US and UK with the objective of regime change, elicit critical inquiries regarding the responsibility and burden-sharing of refugees and migration. The approach of engaging in military action while refusing to accept refugees, often referred to as "throwing-the-bombs-but-refusing-the-refugees" policies, is lamentable and calamitous for Europe, which is currently hosting millions of refugees. COUNTERED BY RUSSIA: Specifically in Libya, Syria and Ukraine, Russia is countering the regime change and not cooperating with the US/UK to stabilize the country. In the contrary, Russia continues to fuel the war supporting the ousted regime. Due to the prolonged conflict, EU and Turkeiye have received millions of refugees. -It is to whom Mr. Orban should to speak!

While these interventions, often conducted under the US-NATO umbrella, involve significant military action, including bombing campaigns, the subsequent humanitarian crises and the displacement of millions have resulted in a disproportionate refugee burden on Europe, in particular the EU.

The disparity between initiating conflict and accepting its human consequences is the pressing issue. The reluctance of some nations, particularly the US, UK (BREXIT) and Russia, to offer refuge to those displaced by these conflicts highlights a global imbalance in humanitarian responsibility. This raises concerns about the ethical implications of military intervention and the need for a more equitable approach to addressing the refugee crises that often follow. The long-term stability of affected regions and the fair treatment of displaced populations require a more comprehensive and collaborative international response. It is the UNDW that will refrain from participating in regime change warfare outside its bloc.


MILLIONS OF REFUGEES DUE TO RUSSIA'S WAGNER WARS

Russia's Wagner Group: A Destabilizing Force Across Africa and Beyond

The Wagner Group, a covert Russian private military company, has become a significant and destabilizing force across Africa, with far-reaching consequences for security, stability, and the livelihoods of millions. While the world focuses on the Russian conflict in Ukraine, Wagner's operations in countries like Sudan, the Central African Republic, Madagascar, Mozambique, Libya, Mali, and Burkina Faso demand urgent attention.

Wagner's involvement often manifests as support for authoritarian regimes or junta leaders, providing military assistance and security in exchange for access to valuable mineral resources. This arrangement fuels corruption, entrenches dictatorships, and undermines democratic governance. Reports indicate Wagner's involvement in enabling coup d'états and siding with groups like ISIL, further exacerbating regional instability.

The consequences for local populations are devastating. Wagner's presence has been linked to the escalation of conflicts, enabling groups like Boko Haram in Nigeria and exacerbating existing civil wars in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, and Sudan, causing the Dafur crisis. The resulting violence has displaced millions, forcing them to flee their homes and livelihoods. Uganda and Kenya host vast refugee populations, while many risk perilous journeys to Europe, with tragic scenes of migrants washing ashore on the beaches of Spain, Italy, and Greece becoming increasingly common.

A key concern is Wagner's exploitation of natural resources. By securing control of mineral mines, the group pays and enriches itself and its allies, diverting wealth away from the local population and perpetuating poverty. This exploitation, combined with the destabilizing effects of conflict, undermines the security and stability of the entire continent, disabling and eroding the efforts of the African Union.

Furthermore, Russia's actions extend beyond Africa. The invasion of Ukraine has created millions of refugees seeking safety in Europe, adding strain to already stretched resources. There are also reports of covert operations designed to destabilize the EU by sending refugees across borders into Finland, Latvia, and Poland.


Despite the gravity of the situation and the devastating impact of Wagner's activities, there is a perceived lack of decisive action by BRICS members India, South Africa and Brazil to remain implicit silent to their warfaring partner Russia. The international community must address this issue with greater urgency, holding Russia accountable for its destabilizing actions and supporting efforts to promote peace, security, and good governance in affected regions. Failure to do so will only exacerbate the suffering of millions and further destabilize an already fragile continent.


The UNDW acknowledges these current political aberrations and commits to maintaining neutrality, similar to the approaches of Ireland and Switzerland, by refraining from participation in these conflicts. This decision reflects our dedication to impartiality and a focus on our core mission. We believe that remaining neutral allows us to serve as a more effective and unbiased resource.

UNDW Neutrality

What we do Differently?

The United Democracies (UNDW) operates on a principle of non-interventionism, focusing on fostering a unified bloc of democratic nations. This commitment to neutrality distinguishes UNDW's approach to global affairs.

Should a member state initiate foreign intervention, UNDW's policy is immediate suspension from the union and a halt to all trade. This measure underscores the organization's dedication to its non-interventionist stance, ensuring that its collective strength is not compromised by the actions of individual members.

Conversely, in the event of a foreign attack on a member state, UNDW pledges support. This assistance is coordinated through council meetings, reflecting the integrated nature of the union and its commitment to the security of its members. While there are no current plans for a unified military complex, UNDW may allocate funds from its annual investment program to aid attacked member states.

Furthermore, by adhering to neutrality, UNDW aims to avoid responsibility for refugee crises. However, in alignment with its humanitarian principles, UNDW will contribute to the establishment of camps on the borders of conflicting neighboring countries, with primary funding from the United Nations and supplementary support from UNDW.
