How to Help Ukrainian Refugees | Opinion
MICHAEL DOYLE AND DOROTHEA KOEHN , CARNEGIE COUNCIL FOR ETHICS IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Like so many refugees before them, Ukrainian refugees have been driven from their homes by violence. Following the Russian invasion, more than 5 million—the largest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II—have fled to Poland, Romania, Moldova, Hungary and Germany. They need shelter, food, health care and a way to resume aspects of normal life, including education for their children. The vast majority would like nothing more than to be able to return to a Ukraine at peace. They need help.

During a recent exchange with the Director General of the United Nations in Geneva, the latter was alarmed by the catastrophic situation in the world.

The categorical imperative of transformation (Liberation, January 21, 2014)
Planetary consciousness is still weak today. The human species threatened by itself must protect itself from death by protecting itself from the unleashed forces. Karl Jaspers understood very well that humanity had to transform in order to survive once the nuclear age arrived.
Towards global governance (Liberation, January 21, 2014)
There is no innovation or discovery in proclaiming that the world is bad. And anyone who cares to help improve global governance has had work for decades and is likely to have work for a long time to come.
A new path for humanity (Le Temps, January 17, 2014)
Planetary consciousness is still weak today. The human species threatened by itself must protect itself from death by protecting itself from the unleashed forces. Karl Jaspers understood very well that humanity had to transform itself in order to survive, once the nuclear age had arrived. I think that indeed, salvation would be in the search for a new way of becoming human, which would lead to a metamorphosis.

Rainbow warrior (Citizen K International, March 20, 2013)
Gérard Fromanger's engaged rainbow. Interview with Sacha Goldman. For him, Jacques is Prévert, Michel is Foucault, and Pablo, Picasso. Rarely has an artist touched the world as Gérard Fromanger did. Witness among the witnesses, this major painter from the counter-culture has been beating current affairs for more than half a century. Until recently, he inaugurated the Leclerc de Landerneau foundation with a large-scale exhibition. “I am in the world, not in front of the world”, he sums up. From narrative figuration to the narration of a figure.
When Hessel found the "zwickmühle" (Liberation, March 6, 2013)
Head in despair, Stéphane Hessel sighs: "Ah, they're going to start over." He is at home, waiting for a German philosopher who comes to visit him. "I was in Geneva the day before yesterday with a specialist in the financial world who explained to me how, despite the great crash of 2008 and all the efforts made by governments since then to regularize the banking system, nothing is going well!" After a pause, he said, resigned: "We are in the zwickmühle."
Hessel - Morin: "Let us resist the reactionary temptation!" (Le Monde, February 28, 2013)
Stéphane Hessel and Edgar Morin: two resistance fighters, two temperaments, two key figures of commitment. The former diplomat and the sociologist met on July 19, 2011, at the Theater of Ideas, the cycle of intellectual meetings of the Festival d'Avignon. Lively, serious, alert and cheerful, they gave that day some reasons to hope, despite the global crisis, some reasons to believe in politics despite all the disillusions to which the reign of the cynics led us. As gunslingers of thought, they even attacked the new right-wing reactionary forces as the dead ends of a progressivism of denial.

Improve the collegiality of intelligence in the art of governing (Liberation, March 30, 2012)
Contribution by Stéphane Hessel and Michel Rocard
The conduct of the presidential election campaign in a country too preoccupied with itself, quite indifferent to the outside world and which does not know of a vital internal threat could deceive us. For the whole world faces dangers and risks which are near and perfectly vital.

Call for a united and responsible world governance (Liberation, March 6, 2012)
Contribution by members of Collegium International
A global order of the march of the world has become essential. As a thought or an act must begin with a first step, world governance only waits for a concept, a rule to be initiated. This goes through stages including this appeal, launched by the Collegium International which brings together great political experiences and renowned intellectuals. For them, seven conditions must be met in order to make the world more united and more responsible.
Contribution by members of Collegium International
“To resist is to tell oneself that History is a permanent creation of human societies,” writes Stéphane Hessel on the home page of the site of the International Collegium for Scientific and Political Ethics, of which he is vice-president. “The Collegium is the fruit of the work of Michel Rocard and Milan Kúcan (ex-Slovenian president), with the help of around thirty leaders of democratic countries and men of science and conscience: the philosophers Edgar Morin and Peter Stoterdijk, the Nobel Prize winner in economics Joseph Stiglitz ...
The last chance bioeconomy (Le Monde, June 28, 2011)
Contribution by René Passet
Is there an economic problem bigger and more urgent than the survival of mankind? In 2050, the world will have around 9 billion inhabitants, all of whom legitimately aspire to the standards of living of currently developed peoples. However, the generalization of current European or American standards would require a quantity of resources representing 4 to 7 times those available to our planet without exhausting its productive heritage.
Release, May 23, 2011: Three Contributions
It is difficult to escape the alerts announcing the perils threatening humanity and its survival on the only planet where it knows how to live. But this rhetoric should not replace the analysis of the specific challenges we face. We must first observe and combat the lack of ethical impetus in places of power: multinationals, more powerful than many States, are totally devoid of it; the European Union, which could play an innovative role on the world stage, has not yet achieved the unity and efficiency which would raise it to the level of its claims; the United Nations, which had set objectives likely to meet the needs of the so - the absence of effective legal control which would confer on the standards which they propose a real power of regulation.
