An
Alliance of Democracies

In the
January 27, 2005 piece in the Washington Times, Sylvain Charat
proposes a new international alliance of democracies built
on the principle of “democratic discrimination.”
The new body would be “committed to the spreading of
the ideas of freedom, free trade and the development of free
and open societies worldwide,” helping to “ensure
our [collective] security.” In support of this argument,
Charat makes the point that, not long ago, the U.N. Commission
for Human Rights was chaired by Libya. “The United Nations”
in its present form may well be “unfit to face the challenge
of terrorism” – something the new alliance of
democracies may, Charat suggests, be ready to take on.
