From the estoics to Grocio and in more recent times with the UN and other international organizations an idea has come out. Humanist and in many cases idealist, but always a panacea for doctrinarial, theoretical and religious problems, even instrument of the imperialism... The city of the world. So let's make this a pool. If you could have your Cosmopolitan certificate would you get it, let me say that this is not an state, it represents a natural community of people, beyond the barriers of bureaucracy, nationalisms, technocracy, territory, etc. There's no law, wich means that there's no state, you're still a citizen of your city of birth/choice, but you also get some benefits that some people don't want you to get, like for example you'll not be tortured in any place of the world.
NOTE: Yes this is sarcastic in part. Only to demonstrate that if bureaucratic requirements were met the usual arguement against things like citizenship benefits would be obsolete. Only a formal barrier separates that kind of reasoning from justice.
But please, ignore the sarcasm and give me an answer, if it can be a reasoned one, even better.![]()
