A convention on the law of cause and effect

Dr Hansei Uno addressed an international conference attended by a great many delegates, leaders of many countries:

• Distinguished delegates, we have the honour of welcoming the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Director-General of UNESCO, who have come together to attend this conference on the LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT so that we may adopt a convention on the Law of Cause and Effect for the world, the Convention of the Law of Karma.
  The whole conference applauded as the two distinguished guests stood to greet everyone.
  Dr Hansei Uno went on:
• Ladies and gentlemen, in primeval times humans had no law, only the habits of each separate family. When families grew into clans, we began to have the agreed customs of the clan. When clans grew more numerous into tribes, we had the customary rules of the tribe. Then the tribes constantly clashed, fought and killed, making human society extremely insecure. The average human life expectancy at that time was around thirty, at most a little over thirty.
  But humans are intelligent beings and would not stand by and watch the poor state of affairs they had created themselves, so outstanding individuals rose up to gather the tribes into a wider, more populous society. We always stress the pioneering role of outstanding individuals in the progress of humankind. With a wider society, the idea of a nation formed, and so we had the rules, or simple laws, of the nations at the beginning of human civilisation.
  When there was law to regulate human behaviour, humankind truly entered a clearly civilised period. Law is civilisation; civilisation is law. Or we can say that law helps to create civilisation, and civilisation must have the role of law.
  Only much later, around the 18th century, did people realise that the earlier law was the law of the strong imposed on the weak. Even if there was law, which already meant civilised progress, that progress needed to be perfected further.
  On 4 July 1776, the United States separated from Britain to form its own nation of thirteen colonies in North America, by the American Declaration of Independence, with provisions that inspired all humankind in holding that human beings are born with the right to life and the right to pursue happiness...
  France followed the United States in carrying out a revolution of civil rights with the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen in 1791 (Déclaration des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen).
  After the Second World War, the United Nations General Assembly adopted on 10 December 1948 the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, France.
  On 16 December 1966, continuing the progress of humankind, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.

We could list very many other conventions at international level, beyond the scope of a single nation, raising law to provisions applying on a global scale. As far as humankind advances, law advances with it. From primeval times when there was no law at all, until today, humankind has together created a great deal of law to regulate human behaviour ever better, more in keeping with the concept of ethics. We have started from zero to build a brilliant civilisation, through human wisdom and conscience. Each such convention is the hard work of a great many specialists in different fields who cooperated to compile it so as to set a new, progressive standard for humankind. Clearly, we have gone from having no law to having law, and from law for the strong to law for everyone.

In the same way, after a long time, much hard work and the cooperation of many specialists in different fields, we have the permission of the Secretary-General of the United Nations to convene this international conference to announce a new Convention, in keeping with the conscience and wisdom of humankind, which nations may join: the CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Ladies and gentlemen, at first the Law of Cause and Effect might appear to belong to a few beliefs of Asia and the Near East, yet it has an extremely rigorous and unlimited basis in reasoning. We hold that the Law of Cause and Effect is highly scientific, highly ethical, and extremely necessary in building the moral dignity of human beings. We hold that the Law of Cause and Effect must become the property of all humankind, as a source of ethics for the whole world.
The distinctive feature of the Law of Cause and Effect is that it puts on human beings themselves the responsibility for creating their own destiny, yet without running counter to the view of reward and punishment by divine beings. If people understand the Law of Cause and Effect, they will be proactive in adjusting their behaviour so as to bring joy and benefit to their communities.
Whatever one brings to others, one receives a corresponding result. Never have fairness and humanity been exalted so highly. But the Law of Cause and Effect, like many other laws, was not discovered early; it had to wait until humankind, more precisely a few outstanding individuals, had advanced enough for this Law to be found.
We would like to send the delegates documents on this subject for your reference. These are the research works of many eminent specialists around the world on the Law of Cause and Effect, before we proceeded to draw up this Convention on the Law of Cause and Effect.
This afternoon the delegates will have a rest to study the documents. Tomorrow morning we shall resume so that delegates representing their countries may sign to join the CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT. When a country signs to join this Convention, it accepts the provisions on teaching the Law of Cause and Effect to its own citizens, in order to build the ethics of its own country and also contribute to building the ethics of the whole world.... 🏛️

We have the right to dream this dream.
