GARRY DAVIS DECLARES SOVIET NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS HUMAN DISASTERS-DEMANDS SOVIETS RENOUNCE NATIONALISTIC PRIDE TO SAVE LIVES From Haiti, world Citizen Cautions That People Of The World Will Not Stand By While Nation-States Commit Murder

Port-au-Prince, May 2-Garry Davis, the Coordinator of the World Government of World Citizens, accused the world's nation-state leaders of being ready to sacrifice millions of human lives to actual and potential nuclear disaster solely to preserve fictional political status-quo.

Davis cautions that the people of theworld will not stand idly by while nation-states commit murder according to the Genocide Convention.

"Soviet citizens are today victims not only of a nuclear fall-out but of the suicidal nation-state system," Davis said.

In a telex dated May 2 addressed to the leaders of the Western World as well as the Eastern Bloc, the former World War II bomber pilot cautioned, "If the Soviet leadership are hesitating to request global assistance for fear of exposing weaknesses and of beginning the next round of so-called summit conferences at a supposed disadvantage and if the scientifically-advanced industrialized nations hesitate to send much-needed medical aid to the USSR for fear of stepping on sensitive, nationalistic toes, the entire nation-state structure once again exposes itself as the chief violator of human rights, the first being the right to LIVE.

"Common world laws alone can protect fundamental human rights," Davis explained. "National affiliations are artificial creations no longer capable of serving human needs and desires. Common bonds shared by all humanity cannot be ignored. Since the world's nations cannot act in humanity's interest the people must do so themselves," Davis explained.

Yesterday at Gonaives, the World Citizen met the leaders of Haiti's revolution. After they signed the pledge of allegiance to the World Government of World Citizens, Davis declared the town "mondialized", or a "World Town".
