A delegation from the United States of the World took part in the various sessions of the UNESCO International Conference "Cultural Heritage in the 21st Century" held in Naples from 27 to 29 November 2023.
On this occasion, the long-standing relations with UNESCO were emphasised: from the visits of former Directors-General Mayor and Bokova to the programmes on water and cultural heritage, coordinated by United States of the World members Maurizio Iaccarino (former UNESCO Deputy Director) and Massimo Pica Ciamarra.
Secretary-General Michele Capasso then retraced the main stages since 1987 and underlined the importance in the Constitution of the United States of the World of the articles devoted to climate change, ecological conversion and the protection of cultural heritage - tangible and intangible - in perfect harmony with UNESCO's mission and the issues addressed by the Naples conference.
Among other things, the numerous visits of André Azoulay - Advisor to the King of Morocco and father of the current UNESCO Director General Audrey Azoulay - to the United States of the World headquarters were recalled.
A number of delegates visited the United States of the World headquarters and the Museum of Peace and were impressed by the beauty of the site, an emotional heritage of humanity, and by the 4K videos of the UNESCO World Heritage sites in Campania and other places around the world.

IN FLORENCE TOWARDS THE UNITED STATES OF EUROPE

A united and federal Europe has always been a dream of western man, especially from the 17th and 18th centuries to more recent times with the Ventotene group and Churchill in his speech in Zurich after the Second World War.
Unfortunately, the project of a united and federal Europe has not come to fruition to date, because a step-by-step road was chosen that got stuck, starting with the ECSC, passing through the EEC and stopping at a European Union that is currently an imperfect confederal model with delicate structural problems.
Today, in the post-pandemic international scenario and amidst a context of wars in Europe and the Middle East, we are realising that the European Union has no socio-political weight, appearing powerless in the face of events.
A European Union that has no weight is a European Union that is unfortunately useless. That is why we need a change of pace, a decisive turn towards federalism.  Even Mario Draghi is aware of the criticalities that exist today, and he is certainly someone who knows about them.
This will be discussed with the UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD during the morning part of the Anti-Mafia Summit of the Antonino Caponnetto Foundation to be held in Florence at 10 a.m. on 18 November at the Oblate Library.

APPEAL FOR PEACE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE

The "United States of the World" and the "Fondazione Mediterraneo", present with their network for humanitarian initiatives, launch from Gaza a heartfelt appeal for an end to the war actions that began with Hamas' senseless assault on Israel.
Blind faith in force has destroyed all compassion, rejected all dialogue, and is proudly advancing in Gaza amidst the ruins and deaths of hundreds of civilians as well as in so many villages in Israel amidst the fear and casualties of more than 3,000 rockets from Gaza.
Europe and the governments of the West, just as they were mute when the holocaust of the Jews was being prepared and perpetrated, now tergiversate with empty words, waiting until, the fighting over, the victor grants them the semblance of having brokered peace. 
It is up to civil society to rise up and say enough!
To say loud and clear that human values, which are the hard-won achievement of its history and the glory of its culture, must always be respected, now and immediately, in Gaza, in Tel Aviv, in Jerusalem and everywhere in the world.
"With broken hearts," say the United States of the World, "we witness yet another resumption of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The many efforts we have made, the many appeals spread all over the world, the meetings in our headquarters in Naples with Shimon Peres, Arafat, Abu Mazen, Mubarak and other exponents of the Arab countries had led to concrete progress in the peace process. The United States of the World has always proposed itself as an institutional place for dialogue, concretely analysing prospects for resolving the conflict in order to build shared peace responses".
