Article 31

There is a resolution in the U.N. regarding one of Kiism core dignities, water.  At the moment there are 30 articles in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The 31st article would address the right to clean accessible water. It is sad that there has to a list of article that state what human right are, but then again that is the world we live in, for better or worse. Corporations in modern time have plagued humanity with the destruction of our right to water, a prime example of this is Bolivia, please read - http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/South_America/Bolivia_WaterWarVictory.html . What happened in Bolivia is not an isolated case, it is happening all over the world, and is effecting, as it always does, the poorest regions of the earth. There can be no global sustainability with out the dignities of humanity being the rights of all humans, and Kiism cannot succeed with out sustainability. There is a petition at http://www.article31.org/ that you can sign to help pass Article 31.
