Whereas we come together to reaffirm the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

We recognize then that technology, social and cultural conditions have emerged whereby food and drugs can be created that can heal, stimulate and affect the human body. That these food and drugs may be natural, artificial or even genetically altered.

We further recognize that Member States must finely balance the modern needs of social well being of its citizens as well as ensuring the very best possible health of its food and produce to protect against disease.

Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF FOOD AND DRUGS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these principles and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

Article 1.-Human Food and Drugs and the United Nations

As defined in the United Nations Charter Article I Purposes and Principles (6) it is a primary purpose of the United Nations to ensure all human beings across the world have fair access to adequate food, shelter and clean drinking water and that no person shall be forced to live in poverty or destitution.

Article 2. Human Rights and Food

As defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 25 (1) everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

Article 3. Human Food and human body

By this declaration human food is further defined as any natural, refined or purely artificial substance which contains a portion of the necessary amino acids, sugars, proteins and fluids required for normal healthy body function.

Article 4. Human Drugs and human body

By this declaration a human drug is further defined as any natural, refined or purely artificial substance which when ingested, injected or inhaled causes a physiological change in the human body to some degree. As all food when ingested causes extensive physiological changes in the human body, especially sugar, all food can also be classed as drugs.

However, unlike food, a drug may have no nutritional value to the human body and may in fact be a carcinogenic and/or poison to the human body.

Article 5. Human Food Handling

(1) The proper care, respect and handling of food is vital to ensure the minimization of disease and transmission of potentially infectious diseases. Poor food handling from poisoned water, poisoned food are a major cause of human illness and mortality in many world countries.

(2) With proper procedures and guidelines, the preparation and handling of all food can be accomplished while at the same time minimizing the risk of health problems.

(3) All soft flesh organic matter once it is picked or killed will continue to decay until such time that the level of bacteria and agents existing within the food are at a point that any ingestion is likely to cause illness. Therefore, all soft flesh organic matter should always be housed in a sealed, cool environment for a limited short time.

(4) A person preparing food should always take care to wash their hands, ensure the food preparation area is clean and free of contaminants and that all implements are clean and sterilized. Further, a person preparing food should themselves ensure they are in good health and unlikely to accidentally transmit any infectious disease during the preparation of a meal.

(5) Water that is drawn from a government instrumentality confirmed by the United Nations as safe for free drinking is safe to drink without preparation. However, all water drawn from a common source that is not an organized and credible water instrumentality should be carefully considered. The boiling of all water should be mandatory in such cases. However, where a water source has been exposed to chemicals or poisons the water should in no way be consumed.

Article 6. Human Food and animal flesh

(1) Through time and evolution, the human body has adapted as both a meat eater and a limited vegetarian. That means the human body is geared and pre-disposed to the consumption of animal flesh as a source of necessary proteins and nutrients.

(2) To many individuals around the world, the notion of the killing of animals for food is abhorred and for some religions and belief systems, certain animals commonly slaughtered for food are sacred. By this Declaration we respect each and every custom and individual beliefs concerning the eating or abstaining from eating of animal flesh.

(3) While respecting different views, by this Declaration it shall be known that there exists no moral ethic, no scientific fact that is broken in the consuming of animal flesh for food. The question of the care and respect of the animals that are ultimately killed for food is a separate issue to its consumption.

Article 7. The protection and care of animals

(1) Regardless of whether an animal is kept for the ultimate purpose of having it killed and using its flesh for food, the life of every animal should be respected and handled with dignity. The human race are the custodians of all Life on Earth and must above all be good and kind caretakers of all animals .

(2) No animal should be kept in semi-permanent or permanent confinement and such barbaric conditions that it is unable to move itself freely and is deprived of basic dignity.
Battery farms and factories that show no compassion towards the life of animals should not be permitted to continue in such models.

(3) No animal should be subject to torture or prolonged agonizing death, no matter what type of animal it is. Cruelty to any kind of life is without respect for life on Earth and life in general. No justification exists, no matter what the scientific purpose or claimed outcome that animals are subject to torture and prolonged pain.

Article 8. Human Food and endangered/protected animals

(1) While the consumption of animal flesh for food is an individual and a cultural right, there are some animals that the family of humanity have identified as endangered and protected. The whale is such an example.

(2) By this Declaration human beings shall always be classified as protected animals and prohibited from being killed for Food. The eating of human flesh is banned from practice in all cultures and beliefs.

(3) By this Declaration it shall be considered an immoral act against humanity and against nature that animals listed as endangered or protected are killed for food. No counter claim that such acts represent science or cultural tradition shall prevail. Member States of the United Nations who openly defy this Universal Declaration and continue to hunt and kill endangered and/or protected animals shall be liable for sanction.

Article 9. Human Food and additives

A food additive is any substance that is either highly refined or artificially manufactured and may not naturally be present in the original food mass.

While food additives can enhance the food experience and its storage and transport, food additives by their very nature are foreign-matter to the original food. As such, their use in food preparation must be carefully controlled and scrutinized.

Article 10. Human Food and genetically modified food

Genetically modified food is any food (animal or vegetable) that has had its genetic code modified artificially. Genetically modified food shall be known as GM food.

The potential for genetically modified food is tremendous with the combination of gener therapy, food and improvements holding out hope for the curing of disease and improved quality of food.

However, with any modification to nature comes risk and consequences. The consequences of poor genetic modification is the introduction of genetic mutations which can lead to side effects and deformities. To that end, all genetic modification which shall result in it entering the human food chain must be carefully managed and controlled.

Article 11. Human Drugs and consciousness

(1) As the definition of a drug is any substance that affects both the human body and mind to some degree, all drugs affect human consciousness and human cognitive abilities to some degree.

(2) All drugs undergo physical change as they are processed within the human body giving rise to a unique set of effects on the human body and human mind.

(3) The net effect of a drug may be compared to its effect on human consciousness as having either a suppressing or an expanding effect. Drugs that expand or enhance and stimulate emotional feelings and awareness are also commonly known as having hallucinogenic qualities.

(4) Drugs that are able to suppress or stimulate the human body and mind to a greater degree by relatively small quantities are defined as major drugs.

(5) It shall be by this declaration that it be a goal of humanity to ensure the proper classification and identification of all natural and artificially manufactured drugs that can be considered major drugs.

Article 12. Negative cognitive impairment from drugs

(1) A significant determinant of what constitutes a major drug is any substance in relatively small quantities that has the capacity to effect major physical and cognitive change on a person. In many cases, the net effect of the drug can be said to impair cognition in some significant way.

(2) Major drugs that suppress certain cognitive functions and motor control such as alcohol, marijuana, sleeping pills, many pharmaceutical drugs and heroin can be said to cause a temporary or prolonged negative impairment.

(3) Major drugs that enhance and/or stimulate cognitive abilities such as speed, esctacy, acid, mushrooms and marijuana can be said to cause temporary or prolonged impairment in terms of hyper-body functions, overheating and lack of present moment cognition of reality. In many cases the over use of hallucinogenic drugs can cause several mental psychosis and delusions.

(4) Lack of normal control over cognitive and motor skills is a leading cause of accidental death throughout the world through car crashes, industrial accidents, accidental gun deaths and even a major cause of homicide. Therefore all major drugs that have the capacity to cause significant cognitive and motor skill impairment shall be known as controlled major drugs.

Article 13. The knowledge of major controlled drugs

(1) In the first instance, by this declaration the knowledge of the effects of all major controlled drugs should be information that is readily and freely available to all human beings, especially children.

(2) The knowledge and understanding of the effects of drugs is an essential component to effecting real and lasting social change in respect to drug addiction and drug related accidents and crime. A banning on knowledge of the effects and nature of major controlled drugs can never be considered a justified moral position as it can be strongly argued that a lack of knowledge of major controlled drugs is a major reason many people fall into addiction and psychosis.

(3) Therefore by this Declaration it shall be a goal of the United Nations to ensure major controlled drug education is freely available to all children as part of their learning curriculum and that a greater understanding leads to a greater personal control and responsibility regarding the use of major controlled drugs.

Article 14. Major controlled drugs and personal use

(1) It is clear from historical records that as long as humans have known about major controlled drugs they have consumed them. Cocaine was known as a stimulant from the time of the Egyptians and the great pyramids. Marijuana has been smoked by human beings for thousands of years. The Ancient Greeks and Jews were legendary in their ability to construct incredible poisons causing powerful hallucinogenic experiences.

(2) Every society has witnessed the popular consumption of major controlled drugs for entertainment, leisure and personal use. In Europe and Egypt, human beings celebrated events by drinking beer thousands of years ago just we celebrate in bars and establishments today. For each society, there have been those drugs that have been considered legal and those that have been banned. Today, the human family lives in a global society possessing the most regulated and prohibitive laws against the consumption of major controlled drugs in human history.

(3) While existing laws may prohibit the consumption of certain major controlled drugs, every culture across the world continue to consume mass quantities of major controlled drugs both legal and currently illegal. The total value of illegal major controlled drugs sold around the world per year is over $200 billion by estimates at the time of this declaration.

(4) What is crystal clear for all who wish to see is that the consumption of all types of major controlled drugs has been a part of human society since the very beginning and will continue to be so. Regardless of the laws imposed by those claiming moral authority or not, individuals will continue to seek to consume major controlled drugs and therefore markets will exist for the production and distribution of these major controlled drugs.

Article 15. Major controlled drugs and social temperance

(1) It has been a goal of many societies and religious leaders to see that a temperance towards the personal use of major controlled drugs such as alcohol, stimulants and hallucinogenic is in force. Throughout the twentieth century many nations such as the United States have experienced prolonged periods where moral leaders were able to persuade Governments to make the personal consumption of certain major controlled drugs illegal.

(2) It is now the case and fact that moral leaders of member states continue to influence governments to maintain laws prohibiting the manufacture, distribution, sale and personal consumption of major controlled drugs. In some countries, the law for possession or import of certain major controlled drugs is death.

(3) One of the most recent arguments of moral leaders against certain major controlled drugs is the health related issues of addiction and over consumption. While the arguments on the dangers of illness and death through addiction and over consumption of major controlled drugs is true, the same can be said for virtually any food or drug in sufficient quantities. Therefore health issues should no longer be permitted to be used as valid arguments of moral temperance against certain major controlled drugs.

(4) By this declaration, no moral position is tenable towards the continued banning of major controlled drugs where such demand exists from the population for its consumption. Such thinking has wasted and hurt our societies and caused great heartache and crime. Instead, all major controlled drugs shall be properly controlled in their manufacture, distribution, taxing, prescription and consumption.

(5) The proper control of consumption of major controlled drugs is the only logical and common sense option for happy and harmonious society.
