XXII Congress of the Socialist International São Paulo, 27, 28, 29 October 2003
Declaration of São Paulo
1. The Socialist International, the global movement of social democratic, socialist and labour parties, holding its XXII Congress in São Paulo at the invitation of the Partido dos Trabalhadores, calls on all socially and politically progressive people and organisations to come together in a global coalition to promote a new world order based on a new multilateralism for peace, security, sustainable development, social justice, democracy, respect for human rights and gender equality. 2. The intense globalisation process, of markets and economies as well as technology, communications and cultural exchange, has accelerated for some the creation of wealth and increases in productivity and trade – but at an unacceptable cost: the widening of the gap between rich and poor countries, and between rich people and poor people in countries of both the North and the South. At the same time, the world is witnessing ever greater threats to peace, the emergence and deepening of regional conflicts, the possible connection of terrorism and the spread of weapons of mass destruction, the revival of religious fundamentalism, exacerbated nationalism, increasing racist and xenophobic attitudes and all forms of discrimination. 3. The current system of global governance, established in the aftermath of the World War II, needs reform to be able to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Neoconservatives are attempting to exploit the situation to dismantle all forms of global governance, to minimise the role of the United Nations, to undermine multilateral institutions, to promote unilateralism and the consecration of the market, and to impose the will of the powerful to decide the future of mankind. We need to improve the work of the international community, to modernise and strengthen multilateral institutions to further our collective interests. The International is steadfastly working to mobilise all the world’s progressives to define and implement a comprehensive strategy for sustainable development and reform of the global system of governance. The goal is to shape globalisation so that it provides opportunity for all, making world markets work for everyone and to establish an effective system of multilateral governance, based on the rule of law and a more balanced, more just architecture of international relations, with a reformed and modernised United Nations as its cornerstone.....

"The New World Order is a world that has a supernational authority to
regulate world commerce and industry; an international organization that would
control the production and consumption of oil; an international currency that
would replace the dollar; a World Development Fund that would make funds
available to free and communist nations alike; and an international police force
to enforce the edicts of the New World Order."
