This white paper offers a comprehensive critique of five major international institutions — the United Nations (UN), International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, World Trade Organization (WTO), and World Health Organization (WHO) — through the lens of Life-Value Onto-Axiology (LVOA). By applying the Primary Axiom of Value, which defines value as that which enables the universalizable development of life capacities without depriving others of the same, the paper exposes the systemic life-incoherence embedded in institutional logics. It identifies five recurring meta-patterns of dysfunction — money-value supremacy, elite governance, siloization, epistemic reductionism, and crisis management without transformation — across all institutions examined. The paper then proposes a bold and necessary re-grounding of global governance based on regenerative principles, participatory sovereignty, and life-coherent metrics. A new global architecture is outlined, including the formation of a Regenerative Global Commons Council and the adoption of institutional life-value metrics. The work serves as both a rigorous philosophical critique and a practical framework for those seeking to co-create a civilization where life, not abstraction, is the measure of all value.
