Book on global governance translated into Italian by Esperide Ananas

Esperide Ananas has translated the book The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Earth Charter: Inspiration for Global Governance into Italian. In this book, Dutch Minister of State, Ruud Lubbers, leads the reader through the recent history of governance. He states with some emphasis that both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and the Earth Charter (2000) constitute an important basis for modern global governance. The first document marks the beginning of the human rights tradition; the second builds further on these values, and also includes more modern aspirations. It highlights the interconnectedness of all living beings and our duty to protect the Earth’s vitality, diversity and beauty. Ruud Lubbers also underlines the importance of spirituality for governance and the need to connect civilizations.
