Stressing the need to end corruption and abuse of powers, Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo has made it clear that pressure should be placed on certain national governments that are deemed native sources of conflicts and violence.

The Prime Minister was at the time attending the International Conference of Chief Justices of the World which took place in both New Delhi and Lucknow, India from November 10 to 14.
In his address, the Prime Minister who is also an attorney, said that in an effort to fight for world governance, it is important to change the modus operandi of some national governments.

He recounted his own experience in 2015 when he helped to remove a government that he had a hand in creating because of what he described as its pervasive corruption and lawlessness.
Nagamootoo believes that curbing corruption would be a step in the direction of securing peace and protection of the world’s children. He posited that national governments must obey laws and do not allow the plundering of natural and national resources, destruction of the environment, subversion of the free press and interference with the judiciary;with that much more can be achieved.

He referenced the Guyana-Venezuela border controversy noting that Guyana’s peace is threatened by its Spanish-speaking neighbour which does not respect Guyana’s territorial integrity.

“We firmly believe that our borders have been defined and settled under Treaty that goes back to 1899, and any challenge to it must be settled by juridical means, not by military intervention, threats and bullyism,” the Prime Minister told the legal minds gathered at the forum.
Chancellor of the Judiciary (ag) Carl Singh, who also attended the conference, explained the nature of the controversy and deplored the spurious contention raised by Venezuela.
Additionally, participants expressed frustration over the lack of enforcement of international laws to deal with conflict situations and to end wars. As such,much emphasis was placed on strengthening the United Nations systems, including the International Court of Justice (ICJ), to enforce laws to secure world peace.
Meanwhile, a number of activities were planned for the world’s most eminent judges and there was a spectacular display of cultural shows including a peace march through the streets of Lucknow; it was the single largest march of students from a single school for world peace. That forum was addressed by Prime Minister Nagamootoo as well as other statesmen.

Additionally, while in India, the Prime Minister was invited to be an Honorary Consultant of the World Federation for Peace and Love and a member of the Advisory Board of the World Judiciary Summit.
Some 350 judges and state leaders from 52 countries attended the Conference. In Lucknow, the unique event was organized by the City Montessori School, the single largest chain-institution with some 53,000 students from several campuses.
The founder of the school and convener of the conference was Dr. Jagdish Gandhi, who is deemed a modern-day revolutionary and a visionary who is committed to peace and protection of the estimated 2.5 billion children of the world. Dr. Gandhi said the leading judges were invited to attend the conference so as to focus on world peace as he believes that only judges could impress world leaders to extend the jurisdiction of the world court and to codify international law and make it binding on all countries.

There were 16 previous conferences of this kind, each attracting different world leaders as Chief Guests on each day of the event. Among those who participated were Mrs. Sita Nagamootoo, the Hon. Sir Anerood Jugnauth, Prime Minister of Mauritius;former Presidents : Kgalema Motlanthe(South Africa), Cassam Uteem(Mauritius),Stjepan Mesic(Croatia) and Sudan (Abdul Rahman Swar Al Dahab)along with the Governor General of the Republic of Tuvalu, and Dr. Hong Tao-Tze, President of the World Federation for Peace and Love.
During the Conference Prime Minister Nagamootoo attended a Dinner hosted by Akhlesh Yadav, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, and exchanged views with him on the rice industry in Guyana.
He also met on the sidelines of the conference with Rajnath Singh, India’s Minister for Home Affairs and Ravi Shankar Prasad, that country’s Minister for Law and Justice.
