ABSTRACT
We the signatories have over the last seven years, at the initiative of UBUNTU – World Forum of Civil Society Networks, issued a number of statements to world public opinion detailing various common issues, important among them the fact that ‘the democratization, strengthening and primacy of the UN in international politics are essential in order to make a better world possible’. Some of these statements have been launched at the various World Social Forum gatherings, which, in our view, represent one of the most important expressions of the will and determination of worldwide civil society to participate actively and responsibly in the construction of a better world.
