In his most recent book, Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen argues that development should be measured not in dollars but in terms of freedom. Development, in his view, consists in the systematic elimination of obstacles to human freedom. When we think of development in terms of freedom, we cannot ignore the importance of law and legal systems to the enterprise of human development. In the modern age, it is through law that we assert our freedoms and through law that we reconcile our own freedoms with those of others. This holds true as much between nations as it does between individual citizens.

Progress in our increasingly interconnected world will be effected in large part through the development of international law. One measure of progress, therefore, might be the degree of respect accorded by various nations to international law. Article 51 of the Constitution of India embodies this idea. Please accept my best wishes for a successful Conference. It is through such efforts that the object of Article 51 will be achieved in letter and in spirit.

I was very moved by the care you have taken to prepare for the Conference, beginning with efforts two years ago.  I was also touched that students of City Montessori School expressed their concern over the state of the world by obtaining over 100,000 signatures on a petition to Mr. Annan to safeguard world peace on behalf of the children.  Surely world peace is the most important topic.  I congratulate your students and yourself as convener on the steps you have taken.  Yours efforts will bear fruit.

Article 51 of the Constitution of India articulate the principles which are essential to a future of international peace and security. In our globalized world, an international rule of law is essential if we are to avoid the massive violation of fundamental human rights which has been the hallmark of the 20th Century. The alternative to a rule of law for the international community, as also in the case of any national state, is anarchy. The challenge is to find and accommodation for the respect for international law consistent law consistent with national sovereignty.

Article 51 appropriately recognises the role of international law in the modern world, the respect which all people should have for each other and the need for the settlement of disputes before they lead to war.

The Constitutional Court of South Africa is the guardian of one of the youngest constitutions based upon equality, democracy and the rule of law. We frequently draw inspiration from the decisions of the courts of India, the most populous democracy in the world. We appreciate too, the steadfast campaign by your country in support of the anti-apartheid campaign and the friendship we have received since South Africa has become a free and democratic country.

It is this context that I am disappointed not to be able to participate in and benefit from your deliberations. I have no doubt that they will contribute to the building of a better world in which there is respect for the human dignity of all people and tolerance for the religious and cultural differences which we should we celebrate rather than denigrate.

I heartily endorse your goal of the creation of a World Parliament. The formation of such a noble institution would elevate international law to a plane it richly deserves: that of an incandescent beacon of justice, bringing light and hope to those of our fellow human beings cursed by poverty, disease, slavery and totalitarianism.

The Judiciary of Bhutan presents its compliments to the City Montessori School, Lucknow on organizing a conference pertaining to Clause (b) of Article 51 of the Constitution of India.  We are standing at the threshold of a future with threat and crowning glory.  Timely action will avert the threat and wisdom will lead us to glorious results.  Therefore, I am glad that your institution has taken a timely and historic role to facilitate the convergence of a galaxy of luminaries to discuss about the subject “enacting international laws which would be enforceable on all the countries and people of the world.” Sages and prohets have taught the undying message of peace and security and civilization has recognized the primacy to foster respect for international law.  I wish the conference all success.

My best wishes for the success of your conference. In discussing your conference topic, namely respect for international law, you may be interested to know that the Constitution of our young democracy (Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act No 108 of 1996) contains a provision similar to your sec 51(c), in that our sec 39(1)(b) provides that a court, tribunal or forum, when interpreting the Bill of Rights, “must consider international law...” it would appear, therefore, we could benefit from your experience and deliberations in this regard.

I am happy to learn that the City Montessori School (CMS), Lucknow is going to organize the first International Conference on "World Peace and Article 51 of the Constitution."

In rapid globalisation of the world there can be no question that nation must march with the international community and the Municipal Law must respect rules of International Law even as nations respect international opinion.  The comity of nations requires that rules of international law may be accommodated in the Municipal Laws even without express legislative sanction provided then do not run in conflict with the acts of Parliament.

Law is enforceable if there is sanction behind it. Since there is no such sanction behind International Law there is dire need to enact enforceable International Law to safeguard the future of world's children by peaceful settling of territorial and international disputes.

I must congratulate the organizers for organizing such a Conference. I wish the Conference all success.

Subsection (c) of Article 51 calls on the Government of India to strive towards respect for international law. This is undoubtedly a very progressive rule in the field of Constitutional Law.  I have no doubt that other nations should look into the possible importation of such a rule into their respective constitutions.  The co-operation between nations to maintain world peace is absolutely essential to our survival as a human species.  One only has to think of the nuclear arsenal of the world to illuminate this pint.  It is therefore my firm opinion that the establishment of some form of "World Parliament" is not only a possibility which needs to be explored, but an absolute necessity.  As all great advancement in social evolution, the development of a "World Parliament" will unfortunetely not happen overnight.  Any laws made by a "World Parliament" have to be enforced or the laws will carry no sanction in the event of contravention.  This is in my opinion the problem that the United Nations (UN) system could not overcome.  Consensus could never be reached between member states to establish a UN Army, which could serve as enforcer of decisions made by the UN.  It is therefore submitted that a "World Parliament" cannot function effectively without a well-trained, well-equipped military force.  National Governments will have to understand the necessity of surrendering at least some of their sovereignty to the "World Parliament".  If no sovereigty is ceded to the "World Parliament", then decisions made by such a Parliament are not supreme and therefore, in the global context, irrelevant.

I support your efforts for World Peace. There can be nothing more important now that there is such huge injustice and inequality through the World that still enormous funds are being spent on arms. Even a small proportion of this money if directed to solving the hunger and inequalities would be of great effect. We are not going to see this happen until we see a World that is more at peace. Then slowly nations can release funds from defense (or aggression) to relieving the tragedy of basic human needs against starvation and disease.  I wish you a very good Conference.
