The Secretary-General Michele Capasso, the Council of Ambassadors, the Board of Directors with Pia Molinari and Jacopo Molinari, the International Committee, the delegates of the autonomous sections "Fondazione Mediterraneo", "Accademia del Mediterraneo" and "Almamed" and the heads of the branch offices express their deep condolences for the death of Saeed Al Otaiba, son of H.E. Dr. Mana Al Otaiba, Ambassador of the United States of the World.
Secretary General Michele Capasso embraces his fraternal friend Mana in a moment of deep sorrow but with the certainty that his son's memory will strengthen his father Mana's poetic activity and peace action

"In the agreement of the 198 delegates to the UN Conference, fossil fuels are mentioned for the first time. The catastrophism that accompanied Cop28 in Dubai may be greatly exaggerated because the consideration is in the agreement reached with difficulty despite the difficult negotiations on the future of fossil fuels. These appointments,' says Secretary-General Michele Capasso, 'are significant in charting the direction, but the real game is played in the field of the economy and society through a true ecological conversion on which the United States of the World has been insisting since 1997, and this is what the various representatives of the United States of the World have been insisting on at the various working tables in recent days".
After two weeks of intense collective negotiations on the climate crisis, the 198 countries participating in the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference agreed to initiate a "transition away from fossil fuels" in order to reach the goal of zero emissions in 2050. A kind of fair "pathway", but one that takes up the Paris Agreement: that is, to strengthen climate action to contain the rise in temperature and to ensure that the (previously agreed) limit of one and a half degrees of average temperature compared to pre-industrial levels is not exceeded. The agreement reached in Dubai, therefore, takes into account precisely the most relevant aspects of the previous editions but introduces a difference: it puts in black and white - for the first time - the necessary overcoming of "fossil fuels".

The United States of the World with the Fondazione Mediterraneo and the women's peace network "Kimiyya" support the third "World March for Peace and Nonviolence" that will take place in 2024 to denounce the dangerous world situation with growing conflicts, increased arms expenditures while, at the same time, in vast areas of the planet many populations suffer due to lack of food and water.
The main objectives are:

• Continue to create awareness that only through 'peace' and 'non-violence' will the human species open up its future.
• To make visible the various positive actions that people, communities and peoples are developing in numerous places in the direction of the application of human rights, non-discrimination, cooperation, peaceful coexistence and non-aggression.
• Giving voice to the new generations who want to take over and make their mark by installing the culture of non-violence in the collective imagination, in education, in politics, in society...

In the same way that ecological awareness has been installed in just a few years.
The central issues to be addressed are:

• The prohibition of nuclear weapons. Proportional disarmament and the renunciation of states to use war to resolve conflicts or to appropriate resources. "We are determined to avoid wars for future generations".
• The re-founding of the United Nations, including the addition to the Security Council of an Environmental Security Council and a Socio-Economic Security Council. "United Nations watching over all citizens of the planet".
• The creation of conditions for a fully sustainable planet, taking into account the fact that this is a limited space that we absolutely must take care of. "Earth is everyone's home".
• The integration of regions and areas with socio-economic systems in order to ensure well-being and resources for all, with the goal of eliminating world hunger in the next 10 years. "We want to eliminate hunger in human history".

The United States of the World says "No" to discrimination of any kind: gender, age, race, religion, economy, etc. "No human being above another". Nonviolence as a new culture and active nonviolence as a methodology of action. "Nonviolence is the force that transforms the world".
