Mandate of Responsibility

Ilchi Lee - pledge for peaceThis year will see a change in 58 heads of state. These will be the people who have the power to influence the direction of their countries and thus drive the future of the world.

A significant characteristic that defines democracy requires that the leaders of a nation serve the people that comprise it. As members of humanity living in the current era, the citizens of the world’s countries should propose resolutions prior to the elections mandating that those who want to take positions as national leaders must first declare that they will take responsibility for effecting peace on earth and restoring the natural environment. They must give their word before all humankind that they will be held accountable for all of the decisions they make while they are in office and agree to the transparent documentation of all of their actions.

This declaration must also be made by all members of humankind. With a strong sense of ownership, each individual must choose to be responsible for peace on earth and universal well-being, as well as holding his or her national leaders accountable for the same.

I believe that this proposal is the way that the people of all nations can claim their human rights and realize their true value.

  • A transparent role in government would rekindle the pride and trust of America’s citizens. I think that if world leaders took this kind of responsibility and accountability they would ignite the spirit of their citizens and be able to maintain their position much longer. I pray for leaders with this kind of vision and courage to rise up and take action. Gamsahamnida.

  • Indeed true. Every person who is in a leadership position should be responsible, accountable and the determination to carry on the goals of the organization or government with peace and well-being of the earth in mind. They are the role models of all citizens. I will always be a great follower with such leaders! Thank you for sharing Seuseung nim!
