We want a society where:
- the basic needs of all - for food, clothing, a home, love, dignity and respect - are met
- there is equal opportunities for all to develop their talents and abilities to the full - enriching society and themselves
- all are free from oppression, injustice, discrimination and exploitation - particularly if based on gender, race, disability, age, sexuality, ethnic or national origins, religion or belief
- positive action is taken to reverse historic inequalities
- children are nurtured, nourished and respected
- older people are valued and cared for
- people of different cultures, religions, ethnicities, "races" or background are valued and respected as human beings. Differences are a source of unity and celebration - not conflict and hatred
- there is respect for democracy and democratic institutions - opposition to all forms of corruption - the highest standards of behaviour and leadership in public life
- no one has the right to impose their values or life-style on others in a way that breaches their fundamental human rights
- our world is developed sustainably and we all take full responsibility - individually and collectively - to ensure we leave the world and its environment secure for future generations
- we contribute to a new global community of co-operation, interdependence
- we eliminate poverty, famine, debt, militarism and war
