“I am convinced that the Supreme
Counsel and the Permanent World counsel, which only aim
to take care of the universal prosperity, will achieve
their sacred goal before the end of this 20th century!”
– these were the prophetic words of the Bulgarian
engineer Nicolas Dymcoff, which were said in the first
days of September 1918 in the capital Tzarigrad of the
Turkish Empire in front of the editor of newspaper
“Pharos” that was published there. The reason for the
meeting and their whole conversation was written down by
engineer Nicolas Dymcoff at the end of 1916 and the
beginning of 1917 in the book “Star of the Consent”
(from French - "Etoile de la Conccorde"), which
represents an original and grounded project for the
creation of a world organization for peace and
cooperation between all states, nations, and religions.
Nicolas Dymcoff published his project in French, German,
Turkish, and Greek, and through the foreign embassies in
Tzarigrad, he sent it to many state and governmental
representatives, including the president of the USA at
that time – Thomas Woodrow Wilson. This happened at the
time when USA still had not been involved in the First
World War and the famous Wilson's Fourteen Points for
the post-war settlement of the world and the creation of
the United Nations had still not existed. And the
biographer of Thomas Wilson (Mr. Beker) later gave
evidences that this idea was not of the president, but
it was loaned from others.
In his project Nicolas Dymcoff
suggested the creation of a Permanent World Council that
would examine “the means, needed for keeping peace and
agreement between all nations in the world”. In an
interview with the editor of the Greek newspaper
“Pharos”, printed as a supplement to the Second edition
of “The Star of Consent”, N. Dymcoff continued to
develop his idea for the arrangement and the structure
of the Permanent Council. Excluding the three main
councils, the author suggested the council to be
subdivided into around twenty supreme bureaus, which
would deal with the internal structure of the council,
the world security and demilitarization, the relations
between religions, the issues of the nations’
minorities, the world jurisdiction, education and
culture, health services, agriculture, industry, trade,
labor, and others. Even if these formulations are very
cursorily compared to the statute of the today’s United
Nations, we could easily notice some remarkable
similarities not only in the general idea, but also in
the concrete structure and function of the organization.
The project of Nicolas Dymcoff is an
impressive Bulgarian contribution to the creation and
the work and activities of today’s world organization
for peace and security. His ideas gained realization
relatively recently when over Europe and the world has
been established the sincere desire for unity regarding
any universal values and virtues.
The information that follows is about
engineer Nicolas Dymcoff and for the purpose of this
information bulletin, the information was collected from
more than fifteen Bulgarian and foreign sources.
