And in this context, it is of foremost importance that we convince our political leaders to integrate global solidarity into the system of values on which their action is based. People in democratic countries should therefore make support to political leaders conditional to their commitment to address and resolve global problems. But this is not enough. It is the private sector that is benefitting most from globalization. Business had indeed key responsibilities in the evolution of the global economy, and in its aberrations.
Social stewardship is also the responsibility of corporations.
And finally, the role of civil society in promoting global solidarity is obviously crucial. Sadako Ogata is the U.N. high commissioner for refugees.
