Diplomacy is more powerful than War: For Safety and Peace in the World, Support the International States Parliament
Adapted from an article by Teresinka Pereira, Ph.D., ISPSP Ambassador at Large

The International States Parliament for Safety and Peace (ISPSP) was founded December 15, 1975 by a letter of the Constitution of the International Legislative Assembly. It was juridically recognized by the International Law and the first nations to recognize it were the United States and Italy. It is parallel to the United Nations and, like the United Nations, has representative ambassadors from all nations. The headquarters of the ISPSP is in Italy. The Lord President of the Parliament is Archbishop Viktor Busa, President of the Council of the States. In 2005, he has received the Grand Cross of the Order of Independence of Equatorial Guinea and also the Decoration to the Diplomatic and Humanistic Merit "Mahatma Gandhi". Msgr. Viktor Busa was in 2007, appointed as Vice President of the Council of State Security and of the Committee of World Culture and Sports (DUMA), as well as Expert Counselor in Problems of National Security of Russia.

Msgr. Viktor Busa is an activist devoted to the cause of peace, defense of life, and human rights. He has been in the struggle for the cause, for almost 30 years, without a break, since the creation of the ISPSP. His visionary dream for peace in the world and respect for human beings makes his life really remarkable. Two years after the creation of the ISPSP, his partner and co-founder of the ISPSP and its first General Secretary, Archbishop Makarios III (President of Cyprus), died. Msgr. Viktor Busa went ahead alone, as the chair of the ISPSP, until Dr. Spyros Kyprianou (then new President of the Republic of Cyprus) was elected Vice President International of ISPSP. Working together with his new partner, he created the Assembly of the Parliament, and in 1987, signed a convention with President Rodrigo Carazo, at the University of Peace of the United Nations, in Costa Rica.
 
After looking for the concurrence of all of the nations in the world, through their representative governments, the Parliament counts with 400 senators, 800 deputies, ambassadors and ministers, who contribute, like their President and General Secretary, with their volunteer work, to the cause of peace.

The work of the delegates and ministers of the ISPSP towards peace and enforcement of the respect for life and human rights includes rendering help and support to all of the people of the world, observing the right of safety and peace in all aspects: moral, political, diplomatic, cultural, religious, economic and social. This is free to the governments. ISPSP organizes commissions to send to the country in need, with the participation of volunteer ministers and parliamentary diplomats, who travel and work free of charge in order to resolve conflicts and help to re-establish security and peace. Following the re-establishment of safety and peace, Msgr. Viktor Busa gives, as incentive, Peace Trophies to the head of the places or countries where the commission worked.

The work of the agents of the ISPSP is paying off with good results in many places. Once a year, there is a congress of the ISPSP, where Delegates present their reports. Victorious interventions have been worked out and reported from the Diplomatic Crisis between Turkey and Cyprus; the crisis between Somalia and. Ethiopia; between Iran and Iraq, Ecuador and Peru, and the conflict in Uganda. The ISPSP also has made a contribution of diplomatic intervention in wars of several countries and places, as in the Middle East, in the civil war in Sri Lanka, in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, in Rwanda, Congo, Angola and Mozambique. There are diplomats from the ISPSP working in South Africa, Moldavia, Russia and Chechenya. In support of the United Nations, Msgr. Busa and the ISPSP have participated in the Conferences of Addis Ababa and Vienna.
 
As observers, the ISPSP has sent diplomats to the general elections in Congo. The democratization of the Republic of Congo started in 1990. In this process, Archbishop Viktor Busa cooperated with the Congolese government in order to give the people assurance of security and to admit the need for immediate peace. ISPSP organized a local sub-division with several Congolese members of different categories, notable jurists, high functionaries, ministries, etc. to negociate peace with aggressors from the borders of DRC. When the aggression intensified, Archbishop Busa himself organized a series of international conferences, in order to gather international support. This contributed to the acceleration of the United Nations' resolution in sending in the "Blue Berets" and in assisting in the reconstruction of the nation. There are evidences of recognition of the authorities of several countries, who send to Msgr. Busa their letters, memoranda, and other tokens of their gratitude for the Parliament services.

In 1985, Archbishop Viktor Busa personally got involved with the creation of the World Organization of the Indigenous and Aborigines Peoples. There are several ministers of the ISPSP working now at the front of the Andean Movement for re-culture of the Inca countries. The movement started in Arequipa, Peru and in Cusco, where several ISPSP volunteer diplomats are working directly with the Inca natives in order to achieve a new interpretation of the past history of Peru, including the Inca past on it. It is a wonderful movement with the creation of schools, workshops, festivals, etc.

December 2004, the representative of the ISPSP in Chennai, state of Tamil Nadu in India, activated a force of 400 volunteers to assist the "Tsunami" victims. All of the ISPSP representatives all over the world have volunteer contributed financially to help the people who suffered because of the underwater earthquake in South Asia.

It is easy to see how volunteer work can achieve things which governmental paid organizations are not able to achieve.
