KING NADER RAAM REBUKES UN SECURITY COUNCIL - OFFERS EVERY NATION KEY TO SOVEREIGNTY AND INVINCIBILITY

Press statement issued by the "Global Country of World Peace"
21 February 2001

In a rare public statement today, His Majesty King Nader Raam, the recently crowned king of the Global Country of World Peace, blasted the United Nations and its 15-member Security Council, in response to the joint US and British air strikes against Iraq.

"The Security Council has, once again, proved itself utterly ineffectual and powerless to provide security to any nation. It is time we depose this inept beaurocracy, and replace it with a new alliance that can provide true security, and safeguard the sovereignty of every nation. The Global Country of World Peace is that global alliance," His Majesty said.

The Global Country of World Peace, a nation without borders, was conceived and founded by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi "to provide a global home for peace-loving people everywhere". Its purpose is, in part, to reduce the divisive influence of nationalism and national borders, which "arbitrarily separate humanity from humanity".

Today, King Nader Raam declared the Security Council "an international disgrace and an abject failure".

"Since the UN was founded after World War II to prevent the outbreak of further conflicts, there have been more than 120 wars. Today no nation can defend itself against acts of terrorism or weapons of mass destruction, and the Security Council is powerless to help. Security and sovereignty have lost all meaning," King Nader Raam said. continued Page Two, King Nader Raam offers every nation key to sovereignty and invincibility

"What does 'sovereignty' mean when the life-breath of a nation can be extinguished at any time by NATO aggression, or when, at any moment in this turbulent world, any leader can be deposed by a coup?" King Nader Raam continued.

"A new approach to administration is needed to restore sovereignty and security within the family of nations. This approach must be based on the complete science of Natural Law-the vast organizing intelligence that governs the universe.

"Every nation must rise to invincibility-not on the basis of military weaponry, nor on the basis of paper treaties, which have no lasting substance-but by harnessing the invincible power of Natural Law, and creating indomitable coherence in the collective consciousness of every nation."

King Nader Raam said that the Global Country of World Peace is offering every country "knowledge and technologies to rise to invincibility, and to enjoy true sovereignty in the life of the nation".

These technologies include training groups of experts in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programme of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, whose collective practice has been shown to create coherence in national consciousness, reduce violence and conflict, and promote peace and stability throughout society.

King Nader Raam urged every head of state to contact the Ministry of Defence of the Global Country of World Peace in Vlodrop, Holland at +31-47553-9569, to implement these and other Natural-Law based programmes immediately, and thereby ensure the security and sovereignty of their nation.
