really, as a Brazilian, only speak against the internationalization of the Amazon. As much as our governments do not properly care for this heritage is ours.
As a humanist, feeling the risk of environmental degradation suffered by the Amazon, I can imagine its internationalization, as well as everything else, it is of utmost importance to mankind.
If the Amazon, from a humanistic ethic, should be internationalized, also internationalize the oil reserves in the world . Oil is so important to the welfare of humanity as the Amazon to our future. Despite that, the owners of stocks they believe have the right to increase or decrease the production of oil and its price up or not.
Similarly, financial capital of the rich countries should be internationalized . If the Amazon is a reserve for all human beings, not be burned by the will of an owner or a country. Burn the Amazon is as serious as the unemployment caused by the arbitrary decisions of global speculators. We can not allow financial reserves serve to burn entire countries in the luxury of speculation.
Also, before Amazon, I would like to see the internationalization of the world's great museums . The Louvre should not belong only to France. Every museum in the world is the guardian of the most beautiful pieces produced by the human genius. You can not let that cultural heritage, natural heritage as Amazon, be manipulated and destroyed for the pleasure of an owner or a country. Not long ago, a Japanese millionaire decided to be buried along with him, a picture of a great teacher. On the contrary, this situation would that have been internationalized.
During this meeting, the United Nations is pursuing the Millennium Forum , but some presidents of countries had difficulties participating due to unpleasant situations arising in the United States border. So I think that New York, as United Nations headquarters, should be internationalized . At least Manhattan should belong to all mankind. In the same way as Paris, Venice, Rome, London, Rio deJaneiro, Brasilia ... each city, with its specific beauty, history of the world should belong to the world.
If the United States wants to internationalize the Amazon to avoid running the risk of leaving it in the hands of Brazilians, internationalize all the nuclear arsenals . Suffice to say that they already demonstrated that they are able to use those weapons, causing destruction thousands of times greater than the unfortunate fires burning in the forests of Brazil.
In their speeches, the current candidates for president of the United States have defended the idea of \u200b\u200binternationalizing the world's forest reserves in exchange for debt. Let's start using this debt to ensure that every child in the world has the ability to eat and go to school.
Much more than deserves the Amazon. When leaders treat the poor children of the world as a World Heritage Site, will not allow work when they should study, they die when they should live.
As a humanist, I accept to defend the internationalization of the world, but while the world treats me as a Brazilian, I will fight for the Amazon is ours. Only ours!
internationalize CHILDREN, try them all no matter what country they were born, AS HERITAGE CARE YOU DESERVE THE WORLD. Cristovam Buarque. FORMER MINISTER OF EDUCATION OF BRAZIL AND SENATOR. O GLOBO. 23 October 2000
