1. WORLD ADMINISTRATION POLICY

Role of Public Administration in the Modern State:

At the outset I would like to say that Public Administration is a serious subject which requires scientific attention. The critical role of public administration is governing the society. A government can exist without a legislature, even without a judiciary but never without administration. The government will become as dysfunctional as a lame horse in a derby race. Public administration as a part of Government has existed since the time of the monarchies. Ancient India's most prominent political scientist and economist Chanakya (373-283 BC) in his treatise Arthashastra; dedicates substantial chapters to Statecraft or the public administration of a state.

Public administration provides numerous services to the public and serves their interests in many ways. The real core of administration is the basic service which is performed for the public. It is the administration which ensures the security and protection of life and property of the members of the society by maintaining proper law and order.

The economical, cultural and even spiritual progress for that matter; of a society depends on the public administration. The day-to-day functioning of the Government machinery, external affairs and the most important of all, the national defense are the other important functions performed by the public administration of the country.

In the modern state, the role and scope of public administration is ever expanding and all encompassing. We are way past the laissez-faire state which was responsible for maintaining law and order only. The modern state which expects government to provide much more has seen the role of public administration change dramatically, since those times.

The current role and functions adopted by public administration owes its origin to the changes which the human history has witnessed in the last couple of centuries. The first important change was the industrial revolution which resulted in the urbanization of the large cities of the world. Secondly, there was a change in the political philosophy from minimalist state intervention (or laissez-faire) and individualism to social welfare. The two World Wars combined with the changing international scenarios with new countries, alliances and organizations like the formation of United Nations, generated a need to reform the goals of administration in the society; not just of within a nation but also with respect to the world.

Lastly, the increasing population of the world means tremendous pressure on the available resources. The role of providing for basic amenities like food and shelter has therefore fallen into the lap of the Government.

There are three characteristics of an efficient public administration: 1.It needs to meet the functional aims for which it has beencreated

2. It must be able to meet the long term needs which might arise due to change in administrative techniques or the changes in social environment which are more important and influential

3. It needs to conform to a centralized plan but also accommodate the specific and special demand of particular department units

There is an increasing awareness amongst the citizens of a country regarding their rights and the duties of the Government. Thus, the role and functions of public administration has alsobecome quite dynamic in nature and is constantly evolving in response to the changing needs and demands of the society. Technological interventions, incorporation of new management principles, taking into account the needs and aspirations of the end-customer are some of the new trends in the areas of public administration.

We have read about the famous Wilsonian dichotomy of politics and administration and after the Second World War the diminishing relevance of this dichotomy. The above reference is vital to be kept in mind to understand this topic which brings together the science of politics and economics together to gain a detailed understanding of the administration of the state and its resources.

After the New Public Administration theory of 1968, there was a new approach proposed in the 1970s which talked about economic approaches to analyze public administration called the Public Choice Theory. The important aspect of this theory was that to maximize the welfare through the means of distribution of national income. Now, we also need to understand a term called externality. It comes into action when an individual X affects Y in a reckless manner without taking Y's gains or losses into account. This leads to a situation called externality. Therefore, in an economy, the Government intervention becomes important to address these externalities.

If a person is running the business of manufacturing alcohol, there is a specific and substantial social impact of this product.This can be, increase in crimes, increased cost of police staff and prisons, the long time and resources investment of the judiciary, etc., which exceeds the net private product, the alcohol. To counter this, the alcohol production will have to be increased by the manufacturer. To deal with this over-production the Government would have to impose a tax on the manufacturers. This tax would be to equate the private cost (of the manufacturer) and the social cost.

The above explanation was necessary to understand the Public Choice theory in a rather detailed manner. Before this theory was proposed, economists and other subject matter experts considered State or the Government to be an agent beyond the realms of economic theories. The state functioned on different drivers than economy and it was an accepted fact. However, the Public Choice Theory challenged this very fact and proposed the use of economic yardstick to evaluate the resource allocation in the public sector and economic analysis to identify the inefficiencies in the Government policy and decision making processes. It also makes a premise that the bureaucrats and politicians work on a model to increase their own power and influence and end up formulating policies which may be against the larger public interest. It got thumbs up from many authors and subject matter experts. This theory also brought in a more consumer centric approach in the formulation of policies and the manner in which the government machinery should function. There was a clear inclination towards democratic administration from bureaucracy and an important aspect was emphasized that the government action needs to be in sync with the values, needs and wants of the citizens.

In such a scenario the author would like to present his New World Administration Policy under one individual – the United Nations Secretary-General – also to be known as God of the Earth. The author is introducing this new concept about God in the present scientific world by seeing that the real God does not physically come to help the human beings. As a result, such physical problems continue to exist, such as food crisis, crime on social or international levels, corruption, terrorism and poverty without being controlled by any external energy (the real God). The author desires that these physical problems of human beings be solved by human beings only. Therefore the author hereby declares that the post of United Nations Secretary-General is God post on the Earth and he will be responsible for solving all problems of human beings which are essential for human life to survive on this earth.

In the following pages the author explains in detail how the administration of the world has to be structured. He is of the opinion that all political parties – both regional and national, all forms of government – Dictatorship, Monarchy, Autocracy, Communism, etc., have to be abolished from the Earth.

We, the people of the Earth, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure peace and provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the Earth planet.

The New Administration Policy of the Earth

All legislative powers shall be vested with the United Nations Organization, which shall be headed by the UN Secretary-General. People of each and every state in all the countries of the world will elect a UN Secretary. This will be the main election held in all countries under the New Administration Policy for electing the UN Secretary. The number of UN Secretaries in a country will depend on its population, size and literacy and the number of UN Secretaries will be decided by the UN Organization. Further author advises that all these elected Secretaries will form the new UN Organization and they will broadly be divided into four categories.

The first is State Secretary who will see the function of a particular state only, the second is Country President Secretary who will see the function of a particular country only, the third is UNO Secretary who is working in the UN Organization and the fourth position will be of the UN Secretary-General. All these elected Secretaries will elect one person as UN Secretary-General by holding election in the UNO House and it is not dealt by the citizens of the world. After being elected, the UN Secretary-General will decide on the appointments of State Secretary, Country President Secretary and UNO Secretary.

Regarding of the appointments of UN Secretary, the author wants to clearly emphasize that a UN Secretary who is elected from a particular state / country may not be appointed for that particular place in case of terrorism prone countries. In such strife-torn countries, the State Secretary and Country President Secretary will belong to some other country. Which in effect means a UN Secretary can be appointed anywhere in the world irrespective of the place from which he was elected. Whereas in the case of developed and peaceful countries they may have their own country's elected UN Secretaries for State Secretaryand Country President Secretary.

Administration of New World Policy

In general all the Secretaries will be referred to as UN Secretary but later on based on their appointment they will be addressed as State Secretary, Country President Secretary, UNO Secretary and finally UN Secretary-General.

The State Secretary will handle the functions of State only.

The Country President Secretary shall handle the functions of the country as a whole. All the Country President Secretaries shall report to the UNO Secretary.

The UNO Secretary who is based at the UN Organization will report to the UN Secretary- General.

The UN Secretary-General who shall be considered as the God of the Earth shall oversee the functions of the UN Organization and Country President Secretaries. The appointments of State Secretary, Country President Secretary and UNO Secretaries will be decided by the UN Secretary-General.

The author re-emphasizes that he is changing only the political administrative structure of the present Democracy and not the present Government Officials’ Administrative structure. This will be retained in the New Administration Policy and the existing Government Officials will function under the supervision of the respective UN Secretary. They shall govern the whole world. Each of them will take up a territory and will be ably assisted by Government Official staff belonging to that particular territory and they will be governed by concerned UN Secretary. The Departmental heads will be responsible for the work which is going on under them and they in turn will report to the concerned UN Secretary. The Media will monitor this work as they have a very vital role to play in the New Administration Policy. This is absolutely essential for political liberty and proper functioning of democracy. We can say the Media is the basic fundamental structure of this New Administration Policy and the author is pleased with the current Information Technology and its progress in bringing to focus the real events as they unfold through directtelecast by News Channels, Internet Services, Mobile Telephony and Newspapers. The author is certain that these matters will function at an optimized level under the New Administration Policy.

Powers of the UN Secretaries

The UN Secretaries shall have power to levy and collect taxes, duties and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the inhabitants of the earth and it shall be uniform throughout the world. Some of their powers shall include:

Roles and Responsibilities of State Secretary

The State Secretary will be in charge of the overall functioning of the respective State and he will report to the designated Country President Secretary who will implement the policies which emanate from the UN Organization. The State Secretary shall implement these policies in a practical manner at the respective State level. Any laxity in enforcing the same shall be viewed very strictly by the UN Organization.

Roles and Responsibilities of Country President Secretary

The Country President Secretary will supervise the performance and functioning of the entire country and he will in turn report to the UN Organization. He shall continue to monitor the day-to-day affairs of all the State Secretaries who are reporting to him.

Roles and Responsibilities of UNO Secretary

The UNO Secretary will be based at the UN Organization and will be responsible for formulating the policies and laws on an international level. The UNO Secretary will be a senior level aide of the Secretary-General. The UNO Secretary is vested with the authority to act on behalf of the Secretary-General during his absence from headquarters or to represent the Secretary-General at conferences and functions. Accordingly, the UNO Secretary participates in public awareness and outreach efforts with different countries in order to elevate the UNO as a leading hub of development policy and development assistance.

The UN Secretary shall also manage the operations of the Secretariat, facilitate the coordination of activities across UN institutions / countries, harmonize the coherence between UN activities in the socio-economic and peace and security sectors and oversee UN reform periodically.

Roles and Responsibilities of the UN Secretary-General

The Secretary-General of the United Nations should play a unique and critical role in international relations. As the chief administrative officer of the world, the Secretary- General is responsible for a wide range of administrative, managerial and substantive tasks and serves as God in representing and upholding the organization's principles and values. He is also responsible for carrying out functions in his capacity as envisaged by the Security Council, General Assembly, ECOSOC, and other UN organs. He is Numero Uno–No. 1.

One of the Secretary-General's most important roles will be the ability to use his powers to serve as a mediator in conflicting situations. While the Security Council authorizes thepeacekeeping missions and the General Assembly takes care of funds, the Secretary- General should play the essential role of engaging with and mediating between the conflicting parties.

The Secretary-General's basic duties include attending sessions of UN bodies; consulting with UNO Secretaries, governments and others; and carrying out country visits to meet with Country President Secretaries, stay informed on issues and report on various conditions. The Secretary-General issues an annual report on the work of the UN which appraises its activities and outlines future priorities.

The Qualifications of UNO Secretaries

The candidate must have to his credit a scientific book published and it will be verified by the UN Organization and after their consent he can contest the election of UNO Secretary or he should be a Ph.D. holder in any scientific branch and further he should have worked to bring peace on Earth. Alternatively he may have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He is then eligible for election to the post of UNO Secretary.

The only persons in the world who can sign in green color will be the UNO Secretary- General because green is natural leaf color and also Doctor's Green Plus which means it helps all citizens of the Earth. Thereby the author has decided that only UNO Secretary- General can use green color signature in the world and all other UN Secretaries and Government officials should choose a different color after consideration of UNO. It is seen that presently class one officers use Green color for signing. This is entirely against the above mentioned principles. Therefore, the author has decided that it should be prohibited by law and necessary instructions be issued in this regard. The officers may use any other color for their signature except green.

It may be of interest to note here that the author was instrumental in implementing the Green Plus symbol in India through his silent but consistent efforts in following up with the government.

The term of office of the UN Secretary and UN Secretary-General

The UN Secretary-General will be ably assisted by the UN Secretaries and they will have several departments to help them in smoothly administering the world. The UNO Secretaries will have all facilities which are recommended by UNO. The duration of UNO Secretary is five years and he can become UN Secretary twice in his life if re-elected. The age of candidate should be above 45 years for contesting election.

The elected UNO Secretaries in turn will elect the UNO Secretary-General whose term of office will be five years. One person can be elected twice in his life time, that is for a ten year period only. He will be responsible for all activities going on around the Earth and he may be considered the God of the Earth because UNO Secretary-General post is God post in the world.

The General Election

All political posts, political parties and dictators of the present world should be abolished immediately and in place of it the UNO will give a certain quota of members to each country taking into account its population, size and literacy levels. With the above in mind, the author envisages that the general election will be held in all countries according to their given quota for electing the UNO Secretaries to form the new UN Organization in the present world.

Age for voting

All citizens who have reached the age of 21 years shall have the right to exercise their franchise regardless of nationality, race, sex, occupation, family background, religious belief, education, etc. The author is of the opinion that a person is biologically and mentally mature only after the age of 21 years. Only then will they be in a position to judge the leaders whom they are going to elect. Wherever the voting age is presently 18 years, it has to be increased to 21 years under the New Administration Policy.

At age 18, most young people are not mature enough to make informed decisions.Young people will not take voting seriously or will simply vote for or against candidates as a reflection of-or reaction against-their parents’ voting habits and political preferences.

Allowing young people to vote would only widen the pool of uninformed voters-and the current status quo protects against that.

United Nations and Human Rights

Humanity faces grave challenges today. The threat of terror is real and immediate. Yet fear of terrorists can never justify adopting their methods. Nor can we be complacent about the broader prevalence of cruel and inhuman punishment, which in so many of our societies disproportionately affects the most vulnerable people: the imprisoned, the politically powerless and the economically deprived. Instead, we must respond to this evil wherever we find it by reaffirming humanity's most basic values.

Kofi Annan

Former UN Secretary-General

The present administration of the Earth is divided into different countries and each country has its own political position. Some have Democracy while others have an Autocratic rule, some even have a Communist form of government. Each of these forms has its own laws which vary greatly. The author strongly feels that this concept is a wrong one and outdated in the modern scenario. Each country has freedom for making its own rules and regulations. In such a context none of the countries are controlled
