Our world is in crisis. New ways must be found to overcome future global challenges. This requires a thorough knowledge of international relations, extensive experience and a creative spirit for innovation. The 'World Network Order' is a triangular approach to creating a consensus for peace in conjunction with a profound decentralisation and democratisation of the international normative system. Networked sovereignty, limited autonomy and the struggle for humanity are the guiding conceptual principles. This is possible through an opening of international law to non-state subjects, a planning cell in the UN Secretariat and a cooling-off mechanism at regional level. Concrete steps towards a 2030 reform Summit are suggested.
