The presentation examined some characteristics of the Baha'i approach to world order. It recognized that humanity's quest for the promised reconciliation of nations and global peace goes back to the promises in holy scriptures. From the Baha'i perspective, religion is indispensable for a new universal ordering of individual as well as international relations. Understanding of the Faith's position on the relationnal concepts of order and justice can invigorate the search. For the source, direction and purpose of Baha'u'llah's World Order foster recognition of the planet's common humanity, the purpose of justice, law, and such practical ideals of governance as world federalism and collective security, which support a rising order of stable relationships and structures between nations and peoples.

This abstract of the first conference appears, even if it was not planned, as a perfect introduction of what this blog wants to be...a think tank about baha'i legal perspectives.
It's quite interesting to notice, that each political system created by men, even if sometimes it seemed perfect, great etc..., at a point or another proves to be defective.
For example democracy. Democracy is a great tool...as long as citizens play their role!
The baha'i system takes elements of democracy (elections, role of elected bodies), but also elements of autocracy or aristocracy, which are combinated to create something new, something we can not yet fully understand.
But something god inspired which guarantees that the basis is solid.
