SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION of POLITICAL SATIRE LIBEX-2022 - FOUNDATION GIUSEPPE DI VAGNO (1889-1921) “TOWARDS THE END OF HUMANITY?”
And in collaboration with Cartooning for Peace and www.voxeurop.eu
Rules
THEME : TOWARDS THE END OF HUMANITY?
Key words: Inequalities / denied rights / famine / migration /
poverty / pandemics / wars / hegemonies / dictatorships / misinformation /
ignorance.
For the first time in its long history, humanity is in increasing,
perhaps inevitable, danger of extinction as a result of human activity.
Until yesterday, we were focused on the growing ecological threats. Air,
water, sea and nature pollution, global warming and climate change have reached
unsustainable levels. Human survival is at stake.
Since 24 February 2022, the existence of planet Earth is once again
threatened by the outbreak of a nuclear war! A risk we had forgotten since the
end of the Cold War.
With this return of tragic times, humanity may collapse. While waiting a
doomsday scenario, humans must reconcile with themselves and with their
history. They must understand that this is not only an environmental issue but
above all a geopolitical, political, economic and social issues. On a global
scale.
Inequality, violated rights, demography, migration, poverty, pandemics, wars,
geopolitical power struggles and hegemonies, dictatorships, misinformation,
ignorance, are all open issues that can produce world upheavals in a short
time.
Humanity must act, and act quickly.
Humans are their own fate.
