The International
States Parliament for Safety and Peace (ISPSP) was founded December 15,
1975 by a letter of the Constitution of the International Legislative
Assembly. It was juridically recognized by the International Law and the
first nations to recognize it were the United States and Italy. It is
parallel to the United Nations and, like the United Nations, has representative
embassadors from all nations. The headquarters of the ISPSP is in Italy.
The Lord President of the Parliament is the Archbishop Viktor Busa, President
of the Council of the States. The International First Vice President of
the ISPSP is Dr. Hugo Chavez Frias, President of the Republic of Venezuela.
Mgr. Viktor Busa is an activist devoted to the cause of peace, defense
of life, and human rights. He has been in the struggle for the cause for
25 years without a break, since the creation of the ISPSP. His visionary
dream for peace in the world and respect for human beings makes his life
really remarkable. Two years after the creation of the ISPSP, his partner
and co-founder of the ISPSP and its first General Secretary, Monsignor
Makarios III, died. Mgr. Viktor Busa went ahead alone, as the chair of
the ISPSP, until Dr. Sypros Kyprianou (then new President of the Republic
of Cipro) was elected Vice President International of lSPSP. Working together
with his new partner, he created the Assembly of the Parliament, and in
1977, signed a convention with President Rodrigo Carazo, at the University
of Peace of the United Nations, in Costa Rica.
After looking for the concurrence of all of the nations in the world,
through their representative governments, the Parliament counts with 400
senators, 800 deputies, ambassadors and ministers, who contribute, like
their President and General Secretary, with their volunteer work, to the
cause of peace.
The work of the delegates and ministers of the ISPSP towards peace and
enforcement of the respect for life and human rights includes rendering
help and support to all of the people of the world, observing the right
of safety and peace in alI aspects: moral, political, diplomatic, cultural,
religious, economic and social. This is free to the governments. ISPSP
organizes commissions to send to the country in need, with the participation
of volunteer ministers and parlamentary diplomats, who travel and work
free of charge in order to resolve conflicts and help to re-establish
security and peace. Following the re-establishment of safety and peace,
Lord Viktor Busa gives, as incentive, Peace Trophies to the head of the
places or countries where the commission worked.
The work of the agents of the ISPSP is paying off with good results in
many places. Once a year, there is a congress of the ISPSP, where Delegates
present their reports. Victorious interventions have been worked out and
reported from the Diplomatic Crisis between Turkey and Chipre; the crisis
between Somalia and Ethiopia; between Iran and Irak, Equador and Peru,
and the conflict in Uganda. The ISPSP also has made a contribution of
diplomatic intervention in wars of several countries and places, as in
the Middle East, in the civil war in Sri Lanka, in the countries of the
former Yugoslavia, in Rwanda, Congo, Angola and Mozambique. There are
diplomats from the ISPSP working in South Africa, Moldavia, Russia and
Chechynia. In support of the United Nations, Lord Busa and the ISPSP have
participated in the Conferences of Addis, Ababa and Vienna.
As observers, the ISPSP has sent parlamentaries to the general elections
En Congo. The democratization of the Republic of Congo started in 1990.
In this process, Lord Viktor Busa cooperated with the Congolese government
in order to give the people assurance of security and to admit the need
for immediate peace. ISPSP organized a local sub-division with several
Congolese members of different categories, notable jurists, high functionaries,
ministries, etc. to negociate peace with agressors from the borders of
DRC. When the aggression intensifed, Lord Busa himself organized a series
of international conferences, in order to gather international support.
This contributed to the acceleration of the United Nation's resolution
in sending in the "blue helmets" and in assisting in the reconstruction
of the nation. There are evidences of recognition of the authorities of
several countries, who send to Lord Busa their letters, memoranda, and
other tokens of their gratitude for the Parliament services.
In 1985, Lord Viktor Busa personally got involved with the creation of
the World Organization of the Indigenous and Aborigenous Peoples. There
are several ministers of the ISPSP working now at the front of the Andean
Movement for re-culture of the Inca countries. The movement started in
Arequipa, Peru and in Cusco, where several ISPSP volunteer diplomats are
working directly with the Inca natives in order to achieve a new interpretation
of the past history of Perù, including the Inca past on it. It
is a wonderful movement with the creation of schools, workshops, festivals,
etc. It is easy to see how volunteer work can achieve things which governmental
paid organizations are not able to achieve.
