Politics, Religion and Human Rights. Assumptions on the Cosmopolitan Democracy

Abstract

This article analyzes notions such as the old New World Order and the new Global Democracy. It assumes that the separation between religion and politics, between Church and State, is a necessity in order to achieve a real democracy of a world focused on peace and respect for human rights. The debates about secularity, world democracy, and human rights must continue. The structure for the Cosmopolitan Democracy is offered by the secularity of this new millennium, where the discussions can be held on an equal status, without appeal to any authority, neither divine nor political.
