Share The World’s Resources (STWR) have released a book version of the pioneering work by Mohammed Sofiane Mesbahi, which proposes a ‘people’s strategy for world transformation’ based on a massive mobilisation of civil society to end hunger and life-threatening poverty as an overriding international priority.

Mesbahi argues that meeting the basic requirements outlined in Article 25 of the Universal Declaration for Human Rights—concerning adequate food, housing, healthcare and social security for all—has profound implications for the future direction of international relations and global development.

With a unique and holistic analysis of humanity’s problems, the book centres on a theme that has been raised in several of Mesbahi’s past publications: for activists and ordinary people of goodwill to adopt Article 25 as their protest slogan, goal and vision.

Acknowledging the many objections or cross-questions that are likely to arise from this simple proposition, Mesbahi examines at length the significance of mobilising public opinion towards the urgent goal of ending poverty in a world of plenty.

In five separate but interrelated parts, 'Heralding Article 25' guides the reader to investigate the question of world transformation from psychological, moral and spiritual perspectives, as well as from a broader political and economic analysis.

As Mesbahi elucidates, we ultimately need a new education that can equip the citizens of every nation to think in terms of the one Humanity, with a universal understanding that the principles of sharing and cooperation are the foundations of a sustainable global economic system.

The book is published in the UK by Troubadour publications and is available in paperback, hardback and e-book versions from retailers worldwide, including Amazon. It can also be purchased directly from STWR's online shop. 

A German version of the book is also available in paperback here.
