Constitution of the NGO “One Citizen Humanity” (OCH)
Preamble
The NGO “One Citizen Humanity” (OCH) was founded to uphold humanity, justice and rapid humanitarian aid worldwide. Our organisation stands above political and nation-state interests and is convinced that every human being is equal – regardless of origin, religion, gender, orientation or life story. We work for peace, human rights, sustainability and a just world.
We act from the deep conviction that all people possess the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Whenever tyranny, systematic oppression or the abuse of state power threaten human dignity, it is not only the right but the duty of every free person to oppose it. OCH is the voice of humanity for this commitment – under the guiding principle:
“One Citizen. One World Human.”
Article 1 – Human Dignity and Universal Rights
- Every person has the inalienable right to life, freedom, bodily integrity, education, medical care and a dignified existence.
- Our organisation recognises all international human-rights agreements, in particular the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Geneva Conventions.
- We expressly oppose child labour, child prostitution, forced marriage, child marriage and every form of violence or exploitation of children. We are committed to protecting children worldwide.
- Young people with difficult pasts (e.g., former child soldiers, juvenile offenders) receive a genuine second chance through OCH. Offences committed up to the age of 21 shall not lead to lifelong exclusion. States shall be obliged to provide fair rehabilitation procedures. Recidivism after the age of 21 will be examined separately.
- OCH calls for an international resolution stipulating that juvenile offences committed before the age of 21 must not lead to permanent entry bans in countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom. These young people shall not be regarded as permanently convicted. Entry restrictions should apply only in cases of repeated or serious offences after the age of 21, to ensure every young person a fair second chance and international participation regardless of origin or past.
Article 2 – Operations and Assistance
- OCH operates worldwide in disaster, war and crisis zones to provide medical aid, emergency shelters, food, water and psychological support. In international disasters – including in Western countries – OCH also provides humanitarian aid upon request from state authorities.
- In Africa and other affected regions OCH drills wells, builds tiny houses with solar infrastructure and creates safe living spaces to establish long-term livelihoods. These houses can be transferred into ownership and offer basic living conditions (e.g., kitchen, bathroom, sleeping areas).
- OCH engages in health education, e.g., to prevent HIV/AIDS, Ebola, cholera and other infectious diseases. Awareness campaigns are conducted in cooperation with partner organisations.
- The NGO supports emergency medical operations and sets up modular, foldable medical stations and mini-hospitals in remote regions, actively seeking cooperation with doctors and medical organisations worldwide.
- OCH provides integration assistance – especially for families wishing to settle in new societies. The goal is to convey fundamental values, social coexistence and child-rearing in harmony with local values and legal norms to prevent crime and social tensions.
- We promote sustainable aid through ecological projects (e.g., reforestation, wildlife and environmental protection) and climate-resilient regional construction projects. The aim is to enable people in need to live dignified lives in the long term.
Article 3 – Neutrality and Independence
- OCH is independent of states, governments, political parties or religions. We act solely according to humanitarian principles.
- We respect national sovereignty and international law, recognise the UN Charter and its human-rights principles, yet always place humanity above political interests.
Article 4 – Structure and Leadership
- OCH is led by René Bobardt and his family, who will provide subsequent presidents. The organisation remains permanently under family stewardship.
- If no direct family succession is possible, the incumbent president appoints a suitable successor.
- Should the Bobardt family have no descendants, a new president shall be elected by the expanded council and will hold office until a successor is appointed and confirmed by the council.
- Democratic sub-structures in country branches are permitted, but ultimate leadership remains in family hands or by direct appointment.
- The executive board may not be destabilised by internal power struggles, political influence or ideological deviation from core values. The constitution is binding for all members and partners.
Article 5 – Security Services & Self-Protection
- To safeguard infrastructure, staff and humanitarian missions, OCH will utilise security structures that always comply with the legal requirements of the country of operation.
- In Sweden, OCH will rely solely on certified, licensed security service providers to secure planned facilities, sites and events in accordance with the law.
- In other countries where OCH operates (e.g., Canada), security structures will follow local laws and regulations; own security personnel will be deployed only with the approval of the competent authorities.
- In particularly dangerous crisis and war zones OCH may rely on internationally experienced contractors with military training, especially from the USA or Canada, to protect the team and missions.
- OCH is not a military organisation and pursues exclusively humanitarian purposes. Weapons or equipment are employed only defensively, on a legal basis and to protect life.
- Every security measure is documented, reviewed regularly and subject to internal ethics and control standards.
Article 6 – Transparency, Finances & Non-Profit Status
- All income and expenses of the organisation are documented publicly. Separate bookkeeping is maintained for donations, project-related income (e.g., tiny-house rent) and operating costs.
- Salaries, allowances and grants must be transparent and ethically justifiable. Misuse will be pursued disciplinarily.
- Funding from national and international sources is applied for and used for their intended purpose. On-site bookkeeping and an external tax adviser accompany the process.
Article 7 – Membership & Cooperation
- Any person who recognises OCH’s principles may volunteer. The organisation accepts members from all nations and backgrounds.
- Cooperation with other NGOs, medical professionals, logisticians and security experts is actively promoted.
- The organisation does not accept collaborators who have violated international human rights.
Article 8 – Language & Validity
- The constitution exists in German, English and Swedish; all translations are equally authoritative.
- Amendments to the constitution may only be adopted by the organisation’s leadership and must be confirmed by at least a two-thirds majority in the Ethics Council.
- This constitution enters into force upon the official establishment of the NGO.
Additional Article – Global Responsibility and Solidarity
When international bodies fail to prevent suffering – in wars, disasters or through political indifference – we are prepared to act as a moral backbone. We cooperate with every NGO, state or institution that regards the protection of life as paramount. We believe that neither borders nor ideologies should decide over life, but compassion, courage and humanity.
Status: Feb 2026 – Draft valid until official registration in Sweden.
