what world are we going to leave to our
children
at the moment I like to watch
images of thomas pesquet every day there
sends incredible images of the
planet dunes of the oceans our
night day cities
thomas pesquet continually feeds a
flame that lit up for the
first time in 1972 when for the
first time NASA has passed on
gave us to see the first shot
of the planet
spontaneously on a global scale
humanity has realized that they
share the same earthly body
spontaneously consciousness
environmental emerged at the turn
years 72 and gave birth to
international environmental law
humanity has realized that they
shared a community of destiny
new legal concepts have
progressed like that of generations
future since 2001 I devote all
my energy
in 2008 I supported my thesis of
doctorate called generations
future have private right to a right
future generations
it was not easy to get into
this research I suffered from
taunting smiles of bones
What poles there are not enough
do that current generations
but what is this thesis topic needed
understand that for lawyers
integrate future generations into
their universe is accepted to achieve
a Copernican revolution
actually the right way all to
made natural it was thought for
govern relations between men
currently live among them it was
tomorrow’s right to take care of
the future is simply natural
except that today it is no longer
possible
hans jonas a philosopher has published a
major work in the 80s the
principle of responsibility that he tells us
he tells us but in the end now we
has returned to a civilization
technology is endangering
future generations
and it’s an ethical issue
completely new so far
did not need to think the
responsibility to the generations
future
and if we turn to the authors
classics we do not have the tools
ethics to think this new
ethics of the future my job is
precisely to inspire me like this
working of thought works of
philosophers but also create it
a legal ethics of the generations
future is to propose a law of
future generations
I am going to give you an example
concretely it is as if I color
the right to trans generational
can take a classic author
montesquieu mount what does it tell you the
next thing is an experiment
eternal that every man who has
power is worn to abuse it so that
we can not abuse the power it
only by the arrangement of things
power stops power
so we traditionally stage
that there are three powers the power
executive the legislative power and the
judicial power and with montesquieu
we can think of these games of power and
counter-powers and if in color
montesquiou that is transgenerational
what that gives and well it’s a
new experience that all
human generations that has power
is inclined to abuse it with regard to
the future and so that we can not
abuse of power trans
generational it is necessary that by the
disposition of things the power
stop the power in order to institute the
respect for the future this phrase has me
inspired an article towards the
recognition of democracy
transgenerational I also
for purpose is to explain to my work
in a different way by saying ben
it’s as if the right been thought
formula is exercised according to a frame
it’s like the right was in two
dimensions and me my job it’s
to integrate the dimension
transgenerational and do it
switch to 3d
I write a lot around the
recognition of crimes against
future generations
we have crimes against humanity
if we pollute in conscience and
definitively their environment
if they are put in danger
we can ask ourselves the question if we do not
does not commit a crime against
future generations and so
more positive I plead for the
human rights recognition
transgenerational a very good example
simple the right to life the right to the
life it is conceived as the right to
not know the capital punishment
but for future generations the
right to life is the right to
born in an environment that does not
not put their lives permanently in
safe in an environment that is
not contaminated is also the right to
to be born without having substances
chemicals that poison them then
concretely you have to ask yourself
how does it implement his ideas
because these ideas concern us all
I got closer to them
years more and more of society
civil society for example I committed myself to
within the organization committee of the
international tribunal
Monsanto may have heard you
talk there was a nice cover
media here in France
what is it about this is a
opinion court ie a
court set up by the company
to shed light on an issue that
arouses the interest society
behind this court there is a whole
team of people absolutely
wonderful especially marie monique robin
filmmaker investigative journalist and
who knew many victims
we put in place five judges who
came from different continents of
judges with a renowned career
international they listened to his
victims
it was an amazing experience we had
heard absolutely testimonials
poignant I invite you to go
listen and watch them on the internet
these mothers who carry the voice
of their children who are born with
birth defects because
that they have been exposed
a pesticide a key moment of their
pregnancy or these scientists
who publish in journals
which are the subject of
denigrating who see their studies
scientists withdraw and who ultimately
by dint of fighting win
libel lawsuit or this
Argentine doctor to bring a green
senate psychiatrist who for ten years embarks
his medical school students
makes them carry out studies on the
field to check the status of the
population health population
lives near singing people where
there are aerial spraying of
pesticides
today after ten years he has
enough perspective to give
see that there are certain pathologies that
are over represented including
early puberty this court
international monsanto has delivered an opinion
last month we gave them
asked these questions is what the
Monsanto’s activities undermine the
right to a healthy environment right
to food at liberty
scientist is what the activities
of monsanto could be
possibly continued on the ground
of the war crime for providing
the orange agent to the US military
and if by extraordinary one day the
eco side concept heard as
serious harm to the environment
ecosystems on which people depend
humans come to exist
would these activities fall under
this crime deco side
this advisory opinion it is necessary
to understand is like a reasoning
turnkey legal which is to
present in the hands of society
civil society there have already been reactions from
vietnam and argentine on this
that’s a whole pole of the law of
future generations all that
regards the environment health
environmental
but there is another pole of which I
would like to talk to you about a pole that to him
alone would deserve a whole ted
and my role is to alert you
this second pole it concerns the
protection of the future human condition
it may sound philosophical but
you will see that has consequences
very concrete
at the turn of a conference to nations
United I see in my agenda that there is
a special event on sunday
titled the novice smit I was thrilled
to enter this temple of law
international who is the assembly
general of the united nations imagine my
surprise when I see scrolling on
scene of people who claims
of an ideology called the
transhumanism what is it
transhumanism it’s an ideology that
aims to modify increase the
mental and physical abilities of
human beings by resorting to
technology
extracts
we are the most
inventive and the most powerful there is
no problem that technology does not
can not solve these first two
sentences gives to understand that they have
once in technology
it can be understood nevertheless he you
says the next thing we know as much
that your best friends your mood and
your personality
there I start a little to tick we are
explains that facebook can know
to map the
population mood populations
not compared to the little smiley that
you would have eventually chosen in
your profile but in relation to the words
that you use in relation to words
that you use on facebook you
can have a map of your
personality and your moods the
technology it takes different
forms
she’s ambivalent it can start
by implementing a rfid chip
under the skin we hear about it
already present in some
companies or even in boxes of
night in Spain but it goes further and
it’s a question
there is a person who knows you have
always your mobile phone to
the hand soon it will be directly
graft into your arm or directly
implanted in the brain transhumanism
it must be understood that it is a
ideology that aims to create a
new species increased the human
to achieve a fusion between man and
machine
we would move from the human stage to
post human stage and it’s still going
further
among the researches there are at the
research and the quest for immortality
the death of death it may seem
completely unbelievable but behind
they are multinationals that weighs
more than 1650 billion dollars in
as a rights researcher
future generations
my role is to question this kind
of ideology is this the future that we
do we want is there always
freedom to come and go if I have a
rfid chip is what I always have
freedom of thought if I have implants
brain
there is a principle of non-discrimination
but there is no longer this principle if we
creates another species more than ever
I think this debate needs to be
reach within civil society
it concerns us all the right has not
the right to be late
especially when you are going to read
books where there are dialogues and
trans humanist and philosophers
their answer is very clear from any
way you will not have the choice
in some civilizations
we think of the consequences of his actions
over the next seven generations
so I think the time has come
more than ever to ask oneself
questions of consequences of our actions
on the next generations because
that the future does not wait then you
what a world
do you want for your children I will you
thank
[Applause]
