The United Nations was born out of the ashes of World War II, with the noble promise to prevent future atrocities, preserve peace, and uphold human rights. Yet in the present day, the world witnesses the UN's paralysis in the face of mass atrocities, structural impunity for powerful states, and a growing irrelevance amid systemic global crises—from genocide to climate collapse.
We are no longer witnessing the failure of institutions; we are experiencing the end of a paradigm. The institutions of the old world are incapable of correcting themselves because they were built to serve power, not people.
Therefore, we propose the founding of a new Alliance for a Better World—a system built not around borders and elite diplomacy, but around shared values, people-powered governance, collective accountability, and the sacredness of life. This new system must learn from past dysfunction and be rooted in global civil society, indigenous principles, ecological harmony, and a universal ethic of human dignity.
The real secret of this proposal—if you've read through this document—is that we don’t have to wait for the Alliance for a Better World to formally come into existence. We, as nonprofits and concerned citizens, can begin building this structure within our own areas of focus today. By organizing ourselves using the Alliance for a Better World model—mirroring its decision-making, transparency, and accountability frameworks—we begin to create the global working groups that will form the living foundation of this new system.
In doing so, we are not just anticipating the Alliance for a Better World—we are building it. And once these grassroots pillars are firmly rooted and connected across domains like peace, economic justice, education, and sustainability, the top of the pyramid will naturally emerge.
That is the essence of this new model: the people hold the power, and the top-level institutions are created to coordinate and serve—not to dictate or centralize authority. The revolution of governance begins from the ground up—and it begins now.
We are not here to save the old.
We are here to remember the new.
To dream it into being.
To walk as if it is already real.
