presse release

Christophe Giovannetti, President of the UNF is pleased to announce the appointment of Yodé and Siro, famous artists from the Republic of Côte D’Ivoire, as Ambassadors of our organization to promote our values of peace, justice and equality on the African continent.

Yodé & Siro is an Ivorian Zouglou band, very popular in Africa from Abidjan. It was formed in 1996, and is made up of two members who have always been committed to defending the environment, particularly through their foundation.

The YeS foundation has just achieved a feat in 43 days by reforesting an area of 182 hectares through several localities in Côte d’Ivoire visited by their popular reforestation caravan.

A constructive working meeting took place during the signing of the Declaration in the presence of Yodé and Siro, the President of the DDHU Corinne Lepage, the President of the UNF Christophe Giovannetti, Carole Berté, Administrative Director of the UNF and Yannick Bery, President of the Citizen Movement “Marcoury en Avant”.

The UNF is an international NGO in consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), with influential members in 32 countries.

Under the impetus of Our Ambassador Charles Eric Hoffman, who introduced our members to a new way of feeling better emotionally and physically, we are happy to appoint Guillaume Delahaye today as Ambassador to promote a new way of being well in one’s body and in his mind.

Guillaume Delahaye has changed his path from a traditional entrepreneur to turn to others and become a therapist specializing in the field of well-being and emotional health. He has developed his own therapeutic approach called “La Pyralide”, based on the alignment and evolution of spiritual bodies. All of his specialties have enabled many patients to overcome their emotional, mental and behavioral difficulties.

Mental health being closely linked to physical health, Guillaume Delahaye was also interested in alternative medicine and holistic approaches. He uses natural and noninvasive methods to help his patients reach their full health potential. It encourages the adoption of practices that promote a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.

He highlights the importance of the prevention of stress-related diseases, burnout, depression, autoimmune diseases such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis and emotional support during degenerative diseases such as cancer. His desire is to create a 3D medicine combining traditional medicine and alternative therapy to support each person in a global and holistic approach to health.

Christophe Giovannetti, President of the UNF, declares: “It is with joy that we welcome into our organization a humanist who has dedicated his life to the well-being of others and whose talents must be known to all. »

On December 16 2022, a charity evening was held to celebrate the opening of the UNF Office in Ghana, under the High Patronage of the Minister of the Region, His Excellency Kwabena Okyere Darko Mensah, in order to honor men and women for their commitment to peace, justice and a better world.

Siriam Tieye, Director of Africa and the Great Lakes indicated the objectives and ongoing missions of UNF Ghana in all the sectors of activity concerned for the year 2023 and 2024.

Christophe Giovannetti, President of the UNF, unfortunately absent for health reasons, wanted to express his gratitude to his collaborator Siriam Tieye for his commitment and the realization of this evening bringing together so many dignitaries from the public service and the private sector. A musical show respecting Ghanaian traditions closed this evening, also dedicated to the defense of albinos in Africa.

Christophe Giovannetti, President of the UNF, is pleased to announce the signing of the Declaration of the Rights of Humanity by the Institut Pasteur de Lille.

By signing, this Friday, November 18, 2022, the Universal Declaration of Humankind Rights, the Institut Pasteur de Lille reaffirms its commitment to the protection of current and future generations, illustrated on a daily basis through its research and prevention activities in favor of longevity and infectious diseases.

Corinne Lepage, former Minister of the Environment and Jacques Richir, Deputy Mayor of Lille and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Institut Pasteur de Lille signed on Friday November 18, 2022 the Universal Declaration of Humankind Rights (DuDH ) alongside Christophe Giovannetti, President of the UNF and Secretary General of the Friends of the DDHU and Didier Bonneau, General Deputy Director of the Institute.

With this commitment, the Institut Pasteur de Lille joins the signatories of this charter (local authorities, companies, universities, etc.), initiated in 2015 by Corinne Lepage at the request of the President of the Republic François Hollande for COP 21.

The DNA of the Institut Pasteur de Lille, created in 1895 by Louis Pasteur and Albert Calmette to enable the inhabitants of Lille to fight against a serious epidemic of diphtheria is in perfect coherence with the rights and duties of the DuDH, which “proclaims the right living species and Humanity to exist and live in a healthy environment” according to Corinne Lepage, founder of the text.

The Institut Pasteur de Lille has been committed for 120 years to health research and innovation to enable everyone to “Live better longer”. Today, 600 researchers and members of the scientific community contribute, through their discoveries and preventive actions, to the fight against Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, cancers and cardiovascular diseases.

Among the rights, duties and principles enacted by this text, the Institut Pasteur de Lille retains in particular the “duty to direct scientific and technical progress towards the preservation of the health of the human species and of other species,” and the right “to peace and security in environmental, health, food, economic and political terms.

This commitment of current generations to the benefit of future generations is found in the very spirit of the Institut Pasteur de Lille: On the occasion of the signing of the Declaration, Jacques Richir notably recalled that Albert Calmette and Camille Guerin, co – Inventors in 1921 of BCG, a vaccine against tuberculosis, made the choice to offer it to the world, thus saving millions of children at a time when tuberculosis, called the white plague, was wreaking havoc.

The UNF from the beginning of its constitution has always taken as its fundamental value the economic and social development of the African continent by respecting the traditions and values of human rights and humanity.

The Congo has sufficient land (ten million hectares), a highly developed hydrographic network, a favorable climate for agriculture, forests (which cover nearly 22 million hectares) and natural resources, such as oil and mining.

The UNF is happy to provide support in the areas of innovation, security, health, housing and training for a modern Congo in the face of all current challenges.

The UNF and the Republic of Congo, by signing a headquarters agreement, demonstrate their joint desire to participate together in the defense of their common values: Unity, Work, Progress.

The UNF is an International NGO with Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Committee (ECOSOC), with influential members in 32 countries and with official offices in Paris, Geneva, Moroni, Dar Es Salam, London, Bratislava, Conakry, Banjul, Takoradi and Brazzaville.

On the occasion of the 92th National Day of  the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Christophe  Giovannetti, President of the UNF (Union  Nations Federation, as well as all the board  members of the UNF, grant to the King of the Kingdom and His Highness the Crown Prince their deepest congratulations. 

« It gives us all great pleasure to convey warm felicitations and well wishes to Your Highness, the Government, the brotherly people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and all of our UNF ambassadors and friends involved, on the auspicious occasion of the 92nd National Day of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. »  

Christophe Giovannetti – President of the UNF

The board of the UNF and all its members convey well wishes and prayers for Your Highness’s good health and well-being, and for the continued progress and prosperity of the brotherly people of Saudi Arabia.

At the UNF, we are all confident that our constant cooperation with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will continue to flourish in the years ahead.

Advice, discussions, preventive actions, the UNF, strong in its convictions and skills can, thanks to its presence in the world and the quality of its ambassadors, open a space for negotiations for governments who wish to provide solutions to protect populations and improve the quality of life for everyone.

The UNF, from the beginning of its constitution, has always taken as its fundamental value the economic and social development of the African continent.

Already, during the 12 years in power of French President Jacques Chirac, his main concerns were the defense of peace, and economic and sustainable development in Africa.
The Gambia has a strategic geographical location in Africa and the UNF is happy to actively participate in the economic and cultural development of the people of Gambia.

Ghana is the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to have achieved Millennium Development  Goal (MDG) number 1, aimed at halving the rate of extreme poverty. This fell from 52% in  1992 to 28% in 2006, then to 24% in 2013, according to Ghanaian statistics.

A result obtained thanks to the acceleration of growth in the 2000s, Ghana taking advantage of an  economy rich in raw materials of all kinds (gold, bauxite, manganese, but also cocoa, coffee,  cashew nuts, etc. ) and the discovery of oil deposits. 

“This is another step forward in our installation in Africa and the UNF is happy to actively  participate in the economic and international development of the Republic of Ghana.” Explains  Christophe Giovannetti, President of the UNF. 

On this occasion, Mr. Nktsiah James Nelson was appointed Director of the Unf Office in Cote  d’Ivoire, Mr. Yao Konan Josué Director of the Ghana Office and Mr. Siriam TIeye Director of West  Africa, Central and the Great Lakes. 

The Union Nations Federation (UNF) targets key issues such as war and international security  with the aim of educating and challenging individuals as well as larger international institutions to  think critically about peaceful solutions to complex issues plaguing society.

ECOSOC Status, granted to NGOs by the United Nations – is not only recognized by all  entities and programs of the Organization, but it also opens the door for DDHu to be able to  interact with governments in formal meetings, taking the speaking and advocating for  causes close to his heart.

As a signatory and representative of the Universal Declaration of the   Rights of Humanity, Christophe Giovannetti, within the UNF, has  always given his unfailing support to the board of directors, the   drafters of the Declaration and all the members of the Association of  Friends of the DDHU, who have the immense pleasure of announcing  the recognition of consultative status with ECOSOC. While the effects of climate change and the destruction of biodiversity  have never been so felt and the United Nations has just recognized  the right to a healthy environment, the Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Humanity is an absolute necessity. 

It will be recalled that it was President François Hollande who initiated this process as part of the  preparation for COP 21 so that international law would adopt a text recognizing intergenerational  responsibility.

The Declaration is the only text carried by civil society and supported by many public entities  (including the UCLG which brings together 240,000 cities, the AIMF, the Association of  Parliamentarians of the Mediterranean, the cities of Paris, Madrid, Philadelphia and many others)  and private (80 NGOs, around fifty companies, universities, many bars including the confederation  of European bars).

The integration of the association of friends of the DDHU with ECOSOC will allow us to progress  together with the UNF, in the path of universal recognition of the Declaration.

On May 17, 2022 the city of Charly belonging to the Urban Community of Lyon and the Château de la Poupee training center for apprentices signed the Universal Declaration of Humankind Rights in the presence of Christophe Giovannetti, Secretary General, representing Mrs. Corinne Lepage, President and Carole Berté, Treasurer.

In the morning, Olivier Araujo, mayor of Charly, an urban municipality located to the south-east of Lyon Metropolis in the Auvergne-Rhóne-Alpes Region, signed the Declaration accompanied by its deputy mayor for the  environment, Marie-Laurence Ré, agronomist, by Michel Fournier, City Councilor for Security and Culture and the Mayor of Vernaison, Jullien Vuillemardard.

Charly is a town where life is good which has “the charm of a village and the potential of a city”, a town of history which has an important heritage linked to agriculture and especially to arboriculture with atural areas and orchards which occupy 50% of the territory.

Charly is a city committed to respect for nature, the preservation of natural spaces, the search for ancient and contemporary seeds, the protection of species. In the context of climate change and its ecological policy, it set up the Ferme Melchior 2 years ago, a laboratory for ideas and experiments in European biodiversity. This Applied Botany Resource Center (the CRBA) directed by Stéphane Crozat, ethnobotanist, offers new answers and develops scientific research programs by integrating food and environmental challenges.

This Center is supported by the city but also by the Metropolis, the Patronage, and associations. It has links with the World Seed Bank which is located in Saint Petersburg. The second signature of this day concerns the Training Center for Gastronomy Apprentices (the CFAG) directed by the starred chef from Lyon Christian Têtedoie at the Château de Lacroix-Laval in Marcy-l’Etoile, property of Greater Lyon, headquarters of the former doll museum. This Center will open its doors in September 2022. Unique in France, it will be dedicated to gourmet cuisine. It will allow apprentices to train intensively on the trade, the knowledge of the products, and the producers. It will allow you to know the tricks of the great cooks, bakers and pastry chefs for 3 months then to leave for two years in the great restaurants… This Center which aims to reconcile young people with learning, which seeks excellence and transmission consists of two application restaurants, a tea room, a bakery-pastry laboratory and an educational vegetable garden.

The Declaration signed by the city of Charly in the person of Mayor Olivier Araujo and the one signed by the Château de la Poupee training center for apprentices by the famous starred chef Christian Têtedoie confirm their commitments in the context of human development and sustainability, their commitment to traditional knowledge, the maintenance of biodiversity and confirms their responsibility towards present and future generations. These signatures have symbolic value following the signature of large cities such as Paris, Strasbourg or San Francisco of the attachment of all to the protection of living things.
