"I was shocked to discover, that never before in the history of diplomacy and politics on Earth, had a document been brought before all nations to be signed, that simply stated we unequivocally desire world peace. I am not suggesting a document that has any specific actions or concessions, but just a simple statement of intention. This seemed to me like a catastrophic failure toward the goal of greater peace. Declaring our intentions for greater goodwill and peace IS the obvious first step toward attaining those goals. Every journey begins with the first step."

"We may not be able to change the world overnight, and I have no fantasies of creating a utopia, but trust with me, through faith in possibility, that we can make some difference, and no matter how slight that difference is, it will be a resounding triumph for humanity! We are now taking that document before the kings and common citizens of the world, where we will open our hearts and implore their deepest consideration, and they will be changed. What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? I would raise awareness and champion the reality that greater goodwill and peace is not only possible, but impossible to stop, for as Victor Hugo wrote, 'There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.' The time has come. We can, will and ARE creating a ripple, that will traverse the globe, carrying with it a message of hope through oneness. Every life is precious. Let us subdue the ravages of our baser-self, and aspire to the higher calling of exalting joy through compassion, for that is the one true purpose of humanity. Join us now, and become that great calling."

Why this is NOT an Anti-War Platform...

"End the War!" Which one? There are wars all over the globe. This project is NOT POLITICAL, it is a human cause. We are not at war with nations, we are at war with ourselves. Let us find peace in all forms. Please focus on the positive. Think big. Focus on what you want, not what you don't want.

"I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there." ~ Mother Teresa

Why will this succeed?

The reason this will be successful is it has all of the elements something of this nature requires to be accepted:

First, it is SIMPLE
The concept and message is simple enough for anyone to easily and instantly understand.

Secondly, it is SAFE
It is harmless enough that people, even in positions of power, will not hesitate to acknowledge and participate.

Finally, it is EMPOWERING
It is powerful enough to bring attention and awareness, and to effect real change through personal commitment, which will reach the collective mind.

Why a Goodwill Treaty?

First and foremost, a treaty is an agreement or pact between people, nations, or other sovereign bodies defining an agreement, convention, protocol, or arrangement in their mutual interest, and which must be executed in good faith. Many treaties establish terms of peace after a war or conflict. I believe humanity is at conflict and war with itself. Also, it has been proven through numerous psychological studies, that when a person signs their name it has profound weight and meaning effecting the signor. For these reasons we have chosen the format of a treaty. Our treaty is of course not legally binding according to international law. But, we hope for it to be the first privately written treaty to gain international appeal and acceptance.

Paul Gardener is the managing partner of the Gardner Corporate & Entertainment Law Group, which is widely regarded as one the the top entertainment and corporate law firms in the United States. Under the stewardship of Mr. Gardner and his team, the Gardner Law Group is trusted by some of the most prominent individuals and institutions in the world.

Bryant McGill commented, "I am so delighted that Goodwill Ambassador Bibi McGill was joined at the symbolic treaty table by Paul Gardner, Esq., in April of 2008. Paul's simple act of intention reflects what I suspect is his guiding and principle desire for the universal justice he fights for daily. Here is an example of a very 'successful' man, who has not been made cynical by the system; a man who dares to continue believing that good things are still possible in this world. I would like to personally commend Mr. Gardner for having the courage to stand forward and be counted among those who are willing to imbue a simple document with the unlimited power of meaning that can only come from the human heart and will.

It is truth that we do not have to be victimized by the ugliness in the world any longer. I refuse to accept that world. There is a new world waiting for us all, and it is being brought about by people like Paul. What have you done for peace lately? Peace is desirable at all levels, is it not? It is desirable in the world, in our country, in our cities, in our own homes, and even in our inner-selves. Peace is worth considering. Please join our self-expression of simple intention, and show the world your goodwill."
