Dear Mr. Gandhi

Re : First International Conference on Article 51 of the Constitution of India.

I wish to congratulate you and those involved in organising the First International Conference on Article 51 of the Constitution of India.
The Conference, which was an outstanding success, was organised with the sole aim of arousing world opinion about the urgent need to establish a world parliament for world peace.

As realists and pragmatic people we know that this is a mammoth task. However, we have the deep conviction that what appears to be elusive and impossible now will one day be materialised. It will materialise because we will not sit back and relax.

I think we have set in motion this world awareness for world peace, which can only be achieved when we have a set of laws, which we can aptly call International Law. Those sets of International Laws can only be passed by a world parliament - a world body representing all countries of the world.
You have laid the foundation stone. We will have to build upon it. We cannot fail the children of the world. We owe it to them to live in a safe world better than what was bequethed to us.

I promised you on my departure from Lucknow that we will work ceaselessly towards that end. In my modest capacity I will try to do all that I can to support the noble mission, which you have embarked upon.

Kind regards.
Yours sincerely,
