The World Public Assembly United Nations
for the Sake of the Future of Mankind
These days, Moscow has become a point of attraction for people who believe in a future without wars and divisions. The First World Public Assembly (WPA), which brought together politicians, diplomats, cultural and scientific figures, entrepreneurs and journalists in the heart of Russia, has become a unique platform for dialogue. They discussed not only politics and economics, but also the very essence of human existence — peace, trust, spirituality and responsibility.
Award "For Service to Humanity": A Symbol of the Unification of Nations
On the International Day of Peace, a landmark event took place at the Closing Ceremony. For the first time, the Public Recognition Award "For Service to Humanity", established by the World Peoples Assembly, was presented. This award has become a symbol of gratitude to those who devoted their lives to serving the ideals of humanism, developing dialogue and creative unification of peoples.
The laureates were outstanding personalities from different countries and cultures. Among them are Alexandra Ochirova, a Russian scientist, poet and public figure, UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador; Adnan Badran, former Prime Minister of Jordan; Rashid Alimov, SCO Secretary General (2016-2018), Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary; Tolengen Mukhamedzhanov, a Kazakhstani composer and public figure; Sabena Johannes from Angola, founder and CEO of Afritrack Angola; Igor Khalevinsky, Russian diplomat; Dalbir Singh, an Indian politician, as well as Bhai Sahib Mohinder Singh Alluwalliya from Great Britain, a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire and one of the most influential Sikhs in the world.
Each name was accompanied by applause, and together they formed a panorama of the spiritual leaders of our time. The audience was particularly touched by the speech of Madame Sabena Johannes, whose words sounded like the motto of the World Peoples Assembly: " We must awaken as one."
The Economy of Life: Trust as a Foundation
The second day of the Assembly was devoted to what experts called the "economy of life." The focus of the panel session "From People's Trust to the Trust of Economies: The Humanitarian Foundations of International Partnership" was not on the market, but on man as a source of trust, meanings and genuine values.
"Politics rarely affects the economy, the opposite always happens. We need to be closer to politics through economic diplomacy," Sabena Johannes said.
Svetozar Darnev, Head of the construction and financial association "Osnova", emphasized: "The economy of life began with the search for meanings. The economy is based on people."
Mr. Kang Zaw, Minister of Finance and Revenue of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, spoke about the relationship of trust between people and economies. And the representative of the State of Kuwait, the president of the WAGB Public Diplomacy Organization, Sheikh Naif Al-Muhana Aladwani, summed it up: "forums like the WPA help to go beyond borders and create a genuine partnership."
Andrey Belyaninov, Secretary General of the World Peoples Assembly, expressed confidence that "contacts are being formed here that will lead to new business projects and humanitarian initiatives."
New Media and Cognitive Warfare
The panel discussion "New Media in the Service of Humanity: Heroes, Exploits and Challenges" caused a special heat of passion. It was about an invisible war, a war for consciousness.
"The cognitive war is being waged today against all nations, against human spirituality. The media must give us back meaning, cultural identity, and cultural code," said Russian journalist Oleg Yasinsky.
Nikita Anisimov, author of the federal Good News project, added: "People want to read about real heroes and their achievements." Silvana Yarmolyuk, a film director from Argentina, recalled the power of cinema, which is able to show inspiring images to the world. Producer Olga Azhnakina emphasized the importance of glorifying creative work, large families and scientists.
Evgeny Klesh, moderator of the site, head of the department for work with partners of the New Media Workshop project, summarized: "The task of the media is to find heroes and present them to society, create a cascade of content that will be a "fishing rod" for the audience."
Thus, the media at the WPA was considered not as a tool of manipulation, but as a force capable of restoring hope to humanity.
Germany and Russia: A Union of Values
Representatives of the German delegation expressed the continued high interest in Russian culture and language in Germany. "All members of our organization are united by the idea of mutual understanding between peoples," Oksana Kogan—Pekh, member of the Board of the Federal Union of German Societies West-East, said at the round table "Interreligious dialogue for the preservation and strengthening of spiritual and moral values."
Former Bundestag deputy Waldemar Gerdt announced the development of a Charter that will form the basis of a Global alliance of Traditional Values. Holger Thorsten Schubert, president of the Neutrino Energy Group, recalled: "The world is being destroyed not only by weapons, but also by hunger, poverty and injustice."
The words of the German participants confirmed that the path to peace lies not through politics, but through spiritual values common to all peoples and religions.
Peacemaking: The Energy of the Future
At the session "Peacemaking — a strategy for uniting and flourishing humanity", the participants talked about the roots of conflicts and ways to overcome them.
"When the economy comes first, rather than people, it becomes the cause of all wars," said Alexander Usanin, professor at the Academy of Geopolitical Problems.
Special attention was paid to the problem of resources and energy. "Whoever controls energy controls nations, — said Holger Thorsten Schubert. But Mikhail Krasnov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of MIO Technologies of the Future, suggested a different approach: "Issues of energy and food supply are solved technologically, not by conquering resources."
At the end of the session, a thought was voiced that became the general leitmotif of the WPA: Peace is a Shared Responsibility.
Instead of an Epilogue
The First World Public Assembly in Moscow has become an event that cannot be measured solely by decisions and final documents. Her main achievement is the atmosphere of unity in which people from different countries and cultures have found a common language.
The forum, dedicated to the International Day of Peace, brought together over 4,000 participants from more than 150 countries. As part of the closing ceremony, multinational creative teams performed song and dance numbers reflecting the spirit and culture of various countries: from Russia to Indonesia and Madagascar.
On the day when the planet celebrated the International Day of Peace, established by the UN General Assembly, a new call was made in Moscow: "We must awaken as one." This call has become the voice of the WPA addressed to all of humanity.
"We were all very worried about how this Assembly would go," Andrei Belyaninov, Secretary General of the World Peoples Assembly, said at the closing ceremony. — It seems to me that we achieved what we wanted and drew attention to ourselves with our thoughts, our desires, our thoughts. I think it will be remembered for a long time by those who were with us these days. The Second World Public Assembly will be held next year in Vienna, Austria."
