Is 202 the Year for a UN Convention Against Speciesism?


“People are dying from Climate Change in Africa” lamented Minister Kaouthar Chelbi of Tunisia.   She was waiting for Ambassador Moncef Baati to arrive for the meeting with Sharon Wallenberg, Founder of Vegan International.  The meeting was to discuss a new initiative - a proposed United Nations Against Speciesism.

“It’s a radical approach”, drawled Sharon Wallenberg, founder of Vegan International.  This was the first time Ambassador Inga King of St. Vincent and the Grenadines raised her sparkling blue eyes.  Ms. Wallenberg was describing the proposed UN Convention Against Speciesism.

Ambassador Mohammad Edrees of Egypt mentioned, “End Communicable Diseases – ECD” in comparison to Wallenberg’s proposed UN Convention Against Speciesism.  According to Edrees, the former was destroyed by the Pharmaceutical industry.
 
Ambassador Yabou from the Gambia has sent the proposed Convention to his legal department for review.  Vegan International legal advisor, Retired New York State Supreme Court Justice Ira J. Raab is also reviewing the proposed Convention in relation to International Law.

In all, Vegan International Founder, Sharon Wallenberg, has met with 17 United Nations Ambassadors to present the concept of a United Nations Convention against Speciesism.  The Ambassadors then relay the information to their respective Governments.  Several nations have expressed an interest in the idea. 

The new year, 2020, promises many new innovations, and it is hoped that Vegan International’s proposed United Nations Convention Against Speciesism will be one of them.
