Report of the World Judiciary Summit 2006 at the
7th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World 7 - 12 December 2006

Organized by the World Unity & Peace Education Department (WUPED)
City Montessori School (CMS), Lucknow, India

The World Judiciary Summit 2006 was historic in more than one way. So much so that it might not be an exaggeration to say that it could truly prove to be turning point in world history.

Graced by the personal presence of Honorable Chief Justices from 19 countries and representatives of Chief Justices of another 18 countries, the August gathering (the Chief Justice of Swaziland called it the largest Bench of World Judiciary ever to sit under a single roof) the World Judiciary Summit passed a unanimous resolution that called on all the participating Judges to disseminate the message of the Summit to all judicial associations, whether domestic, regional or international, of which they were members of. The resolution also called upon all Judges to keep the best interests of children in mind whenever delivering a judgement in their Court.

Thus the participating Chief Justices decided to notify the Commonwealth Association of Judges, the International Association of Judges, the International Association of Women Judges and the African Association of Judges amongst others. This decision acquires great significance when seen in the perspective of the Resolution which specifically called on all the Judges in the World to keep the best interests of children in mind whenever giving a decision in any case. The Resolution was drafted by the finest
legal brains from seven countries assisted by worthy representatives of three other countries also contributed to the process significantly.

The World Judiciary Summit literally had a fiery opening. On 8th December while the Chief Justices and Judges were having dinner, after a colourful cultural presentation by CMS children, a fire broke out in the godown on the top floor of the World Unity Convention Centre. As everyone watched, the blze grew in size and threatened to burn down the entire building. The fire tenders were delayed by traffic jams but ultimately arrived and managed to douse the flames. It was one o'clock in the morning when fire tenders returned and the CMS Management decided to shift the venue of the Conference from the auditorium (which had been rendered un-useable by the fire and smoke) to the field outside. Hundreds of people toiled through the night to put up cloth canopy, lay out chairs and sofa-sets and set up the stage. The effort ensured everything was ready for the grand inaugural at 9:00 am in the morning. While all this was going on, the smoldering fire reappeared inside the auditorium, burning down the tiles of false ceiling and the air-conditioning ducts. The fire tenders had to be summoned again before the fire could finally be put out for good.

Earlier, on 6th December, the Chief Justices were taken for a tour of the Taj Mahal in Agra. On the 7th December they offered floral tributes at Mahatma Gandhi's Samadhi in Rajghat, New Delhi where they were welcomed by Dr Nirmala Deshpande, Chairperson of Gandhi Samadhi Committee who is probably the most famous Gandhian alive. Dr Deshpande also presented all the Chief Justices and Judges with copies of Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography and a memento. The Chief Justices then addressed a press conference at Gandhi Darshan pavilion next door. The same evening they attended a Civic Reception by Delhi lawyers at Phoolwari, Pragati Maidan opposite the Supreme Court of India.

On 8th December 2006, the two important events of the day were a Press Conference and the Welcome Function in honour of the distinguished participants where children presented cultural items in honour of the delegates.

After the inaugural ceremony the proceedings began with the screening of two films. The first very comprehensively chronicled genesis of origination of the first International Conference of Chief Justices of the World with its modest beginning to its progressive development into its present state, generating a global movement. The presentation very effectively highlighted the clauses of Article 51 of the Constitution of India and appeal by over 31000 CMS students on behalf of world's two billion children and generations yet unborn, to world judiciary to protect the rights of children for a safe future. The second film was on "Aao Dosti Karein" project effectively highlighted efforts of CMS in forging a lasting peace with Pakistan. It lucidly brought out the strong desire in common people of both countries for lasting love and friendship. The presentation brilliantly show-cased the strong desire of people of both the countries for peace and unity.

Children's World Parliament was presented by children of CMS Kanpur Road Branch. Its objective was to convey to the world judiciary the deep concern of our children regarding the grave problems in today's world that affect the entire humankind and endanger its very existence. The mock world parliament started with the opening address by speaker who brought out that the world is passing through the most difficult phase of human history. She strongly recommended that some amiable solution be found to address the grim situation. Pledge was administered to the members representing different countries of the world to abide by law, not to be prejudiced and maintain peace on the earth.

Morning Session

The morning session began with a group of children from Sri Lanka, UK, Ukraine and CMS students from Gomti Nagar Branch deliberating on important issues faced by humankind even as Chief Justices, Judges, legal Luminaries and peace promoters from all over the world watched. The children deliberated on issues such as safeguarding the future of two billion children, ineffectiveness of the UNO, stockpiles weapons of mass destruction and 36,000 nuclear warheads, formation of World Government and World Parliament and came out with fantastic ideas to solve all these problems through mutual consultation and bring peace and unity in the world.

Earlier, the formal proceedings of the inaugural session commenced with welcome address by Mrs. Sadhana Bedi, Principal Chowk Branch who welcomed the Chief Guest Hon'ble Mr. Justice V. N. Khare, Former Chief Justice of India, judges, legal luminaries and peace promoters from 85 countries for sparing their valuable time to attend the 7th International Conference of Chief Justices of the World. Thereafter she, along with Mrs. Bonita Joel, Principal, Indira Nagar Branch conducted the entire proceedings of the programme for the day. The students of CMS Kanpur Road branch presented a prayer song.

The chief guest Hon'ble Mr. Justice V. N. Khare former Chief Justice of India inaugurated the Conference by lighting the lamp of learning. In his address, Justice Khare commended the CMS students for their campaign for world unity in order to make the planet earth a better place for living. He also said that there is a provision in the Indian Constitution for all kind of rights for children but, how far they are being implemented by various agencies is questionable. But the appeal of CMS students, he said, has a significance of its own. It has drawn the attention of the entire world towards the children's right to a safe future paving a way for all the countries of the world to follow suit. He also wished that this conference becomes the opening of a new chapter in world history and is remembered the world over in ages to come.

In his welcome address, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Syed Saghir Ahmad, former Judge, Supreme Court of India and first supporter of the conference on Article 51 of the Constitution of India, said that human beings the world over were born alike and they deserved equal rights. However despite the continuous talk about human rights since many years, the rights of humans are still in danger and there is still no end to armed conflicts and apart from that the world today is facing dangers of terrorism. He praised the CMS family and said a new chapter in human civilization is created by raising these big issues through its small children is a matter of great satisfaction to the people all over the world.

In his keynote address Mr. Justice A.P. Shah, Chief Justice, Madras High Court India agreed that judiciary indeed is the last hope for the survival of human race and praised the 31,000 CMS students and the CMS family as a whole, for their efforts in working for peace and unity in all over the world.

In his presidential address, Mr. Justice, Prakash P. Naolekar, Judge, Supreme Court of India said that though there are various organizations looking after the welfare of humankind, there is no enforceability and so the human life has become vulnerable. He said that by organizing this conference every year CMS Founder-Manager has succeeded in making people think about the dangers being faced by the world. He also supported the idea of a world parliament for enacting laws at least on subjects touching all human beings.

The presentation of Children's Appeal to World Judiciary by the students of Mahanagar branch on behalf of worlds two billion children was thought provoking and immensely appreciated by over 200 Chief Justices, judges, legal luminaries and peace promoters from all over the world. World Judiciary is indeed the last hope for the world's children for safeguarding their future and while we have seen 20th century of lost opportunity, 21st century is the last century for us to act. During the appeal the children came out with thought provoking slogans, like "we want peace and unity" "We want enforceable international low" and many more which drew tremendous attention of the audience.

Hon'ble Madame Justice Graciela Dixon, Chief Justice of Panama very forcefully spoke on the duties of the World Judiciary in regards to protecting the future of the world's children saying that since UNO which until now was considered most powerful has shown its incapability in ensuring the safety of future generations, we judges who are educated to serve justice and who are supposed to be extra sensitive towards the welfare of humanity, will have to come forward. She also said that the task of formulating an International law may be difficult and time consuming but it's the only choice we are left with and our instinct for survival tells us that we have to do it at all cost.

Commenting on the CMS students efforts of organising the International conference of Chief Justices of the World, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Prof. Abdul Salam Azimi, Chief Justice, Supreme Court, Afghanistan said that the judiciary is often forgotten as an important institution in helping to make life better for society. He extended the support of the supreme court of Afghanistan to the CMS students petition for making it a reality.

He said that from here the judges of different countries will carry the message back to their respective homes that peace education is very important in today's world.

Former President of Mauritius, Mr. Cassam Uttem, who was amongst the UNESCO Peace Prize Jury this year, said that Justice Mr. Weeramantry's recommendation was so well presented by CMS that it won unanimous decision of the jury in his favour.

Mr Ravi Prakash Gupta, Advocate, Supreme Court of India and Delhi Co-ordinator for the Conference thanked various Chief Justices and legal luminaries from across the world who took part in the discussions and put forward their views on the need for Enforceable International Law and World Government.

The Afternoon Session

In the afternoon session, after the prayer and devotional songs and the appeal on behalf of the world's two billion children by the students of Rajajipuram, Station Road and Rajendra Nagar branches,H.E. Mr. Cassam Uteem former President of Mauritius presented the Lucknow Peace Prize to Hon'ble Mr. B.J. Odoki, Chief Judge of Uganda and the Peace Visionary Award to Dr. T. P. Amerasinghe, President, World Constitution and Parliament Association (WCPA), in recognition of their life long efforts for world unity and for their support to CMS students' appeal on behalf of world's children and generations yet unborn.

Mr. Justice Visunu Sahai, former Acting Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court, said in his speech "The children, as we saw just now, are demanding that judges deliver a public judgement and support their plea for a safe future and healthy ecology for all. Their demand is just and their cause is of vital importance for all of humanity. Let it not be said tomorrow that the World Judiciary failed in its duty. For, if we fail, there will be no tomorrow. The challenges facing humanity are great indeed but the opportunities are also tremendous. If World Judiciary can guide humanity, we could see the beginning of a new world civilization, a golden age when the wonders of science and technology will stretch human life span to unbelievable lengths and modern Medicare enable masses to live healthy and happy lives."

Hon'ble Mr. Justice Vivekanand Allear Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Seychelles, said" We must leave this Conference with an agenda for immediate change, change that will happen between now and our next meeting, and the determination to force at least one change each. With our cumulative accomplishments, we form a base for greater advances in the year 2008. With such progress, our meeting in 2010 could be a celebration. Our children will never forgive us if we fail them, neither should they. We will carry the guilt, but they will pay the price"

Hon'ble Mr. Justice Luis Paulino Mora Mora, Chief Justice, Supreme court, Costa Rica, said, "From the moment we become custodians of life on this planet and its major stake holders, our degree of responsibility has increased, and the framework of international law is the instrument which can bind us and guide us so that global problems and challenges are also tackled globally for everyone's benefit. As the title of this conference suggests, the time has indeed come for the international law to be in force and to be an instrument to guide our path."

Hon'ble Mr. Justice A. P. Mishra, former Judge Supreme Court of India, said " We saw the children appeal to World Judiciary and asking that their future be protected and that mindless damaging of our environment be stopped. The ever increasing stockpile of nuclear weapons poses a grave threat to the safety and security of future generations. I hope this Conference will prove to be a milestone in this direction and urge all participants to share their views on this and suggest ways and means of how to go ahead."

Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.M. Silungwe, Senior Judge supreme Court Namibia said in his speech, "It is evident that the judiciay of the world uphold the appeal by the CMS children and that they consequently lend their support to the cause of world peace and security as well as to the need for "enforceable international law". It should however be acknowledged that the judiciaries of the world cannot, on their own, possibly enforce international law for, as Alexandr Hamilton remarked in The Federalist No. 78, the judiciary has neither "the sword" nor "the purse" and "must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgements." In practical terms, the judiciaries of the world need the support and cooperation of the legislative and executive organs whose respective spheres are to promulgate and to implement legislative measures.

Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kenneth Mthiyne, Judge, Supreme court of Appeals, South Africa, said, "Global warming the depletion of resources and the destruction of animal habitats are all very serious concerns if we want to leave our children a world as good as the one we were left by our parents" or at least, a world they can still recognize." He also recalled that the UN had passed a resolution in 2002 in the special session on children and adopted the Millennium Goals most of which unfortunately we were far from achieving midway.

Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jorge A. Subero Isa, Chief Justice Supreme Court, Dominican Republic said in his speech, "I commned the efforts of City Montessori School in drawing attention to the urgent need for enforceable international law for the sake of protecting the rights of the children and ensuring their safe future.

Hon'ble Mr Justice Lic. Ruben Eliu Higueros, President, Supreme Court, Guatemala said, "We recognize the efforts that this School has undertaken with the purpose of raising wareness of the global community about the urgent need for enforceable international law for safeguarding children's rights and ensuring their safe and healthy future.

Hon'ble Mr Justice Kuenlay Tshering, Senior Judge Royal Court of Bhutan, said "The Bhutanese judiciary commends and dedicates its fullest support to the noble initiative of the City Montessori School and its organizers in this sacred mission. I wish you success in your journey towards achieving the destiny of children's well being and happiness, especially so as it is being initiated in a Country which is the birth place of Buddhism, the largest democracy and undoubtedly, with the largest population of young persons. Indeed it is a noble pilgrimage for all of humanity."

The Vote of Thanks was presented by Mr. Vinay Gandhi, Director, United World School, Lucknow who extended his wholehearted thanks to all the dignitaries for their active participation and inspiration to all through their productive ideas in bringing unity and peace in the world.

The children, one by one, emphatically conveyed messages on love, peace, harmony and unity. Excerpts of views of few of the speakers are given below:

(a) It takes just one minute to destroy innovations and achievements made in political, social, scientific and economic fronts. The child conveyed with conviction that peace cannot be achieved by force but can only be achieved by understanding. The child further said that peace is the only way and need of the hour.

(b) Third world war would be a nuclear war and would reduce everything to ashes and the fourth world war would be fought with stones and sticks.

(c) There is a stock pile of 36,000 nuclear war heads capable of annihilating the entire human race. People, in the name of Nationalism, are thirsty of each others blood and are building walls. Thereby, conveying the need of lasting love, unity and peace across the world.

(d) Peace can only be achieved with intense conscious effort in fostering love and unity of mankind.

(e) Constant endeavour is required to achieve peace, love happiness and prosperity. The need of hour is to unite or face the risk of perishing.

(f) Nationalism and Imperialism do more harm than good. Love of nation should not be the cause of hatred for the world.

(g) Nuclear weapons are weapons against Earth spoiling environment and causing global warming.

(h) Likewise, many children individually expressed there thought. Finally, a child concluded by appealing Chief Judges, on behalf of two billion children of the world to "Arise, Aware and Unite" for cause of world peace and harmony.

In his Keynote Address Hon'ble Mr Justice, B. J. Odoki, Chief Justice, Supreme Court, Uganda expressed his gratitude to CMS for honouring him with the Lucknow Peace Prize.

Gaetano, Chief Justiice, Supreme Court, Malta, at the very outset greeted everyone with Salaam Walekkum; and then explained the meaning of the same as wish of well being of entire human race. He then gave a brief historical background of his country Malta which was ruled for 164 years by British. He informed how the country which was with France, was ceeded to Britain not by conquest but by convention. He strongly advocated for enforceable International law for eradication of conflict, poverty, social exploitation and injustice. He opined that it was collective responsibilities of all the nations of the world to implement international laws and promote world peace.

In his address Hon'ble Mr Justice Jacobus P Anandale, Chief Justice (Acting) High Court, Swaziland conveyed that God has created the world, and gave man dominance of brain. With passage of time the man became industrious and man's creative brain invented the wheel and then TV, Internet etc to make his life comfortable. However man's desire, ambitions and greed made him selfish and he started plundering the Earth's resources and fought different wars and battles to establish supremacy within the human race. Man developed nuclear fusion capability and developed dangerous powers of destruction. This struggle of primacy of a man pitted against another man led to weak serving the strong and poor serving the rich. Thus man plundered the mother Earth in search of virtual happiness. He forgot that God, the Creator of the universe is within man and true happiness is within oneself. He called upon the human race to emulate wisdom of our Creator and unite others, do what you want others to do for you. Love one another as Jesus loves you. He called upon the world of judiciary to rise above the confines of the court and to use the power of law to recreate a new world order for safeguarding the future of world's children and future generations.

In his address Mr Arjun Kingdon, peace promoter from UK conveyed that the world judiciary has enormous powers to serve the cause of humankind. He cited very burning examples of hallmark judgements given by the Supreme Court of India and noted that these judgements were implemented by the Government of India. He cited examples of the acceptance of petitions by Supreme Court regarding right to food of human beings who suffered due to continuous drought for 6 years. He went on to add that people were suffering starvation deaths even as huge stockpiles of grain existed in the warehouses, rotting and being eaten away by rats. Knowledge of such current affairs, he opined, was very important for judges to give landmark judgements. He also made a mention of immense benefits brought in our country with introduction of mid-day meal scheme at schools, which tremendously boosted new admissions in school. This, he said was possible because of rightful actions of few visionary judges. He concluded his speech by urging world judiciary to take measures to safeguard the future of children.

In his address Hon'ble Mr Justice M Karpaga Vinayagam, Chief Justice, Jharkhand, High Court, India pointed out that the Indian mythology involved praying to God for peace. We pray for peace of entire mankind, nature, Earth, plants, animals and for peace everywhere. He went on to say that entire humanity was one big family and all men were children of one God. Therefore, he propagated that our law should also be one, governing the entire human race.
