The movement to identify and promote the values shared by societies around the world
is relatively new. It is only in recent years as globalization extended its reach
to even remote corners of the earth that the need to refocus and build upon what
we as a human society have in common, has become apparent. Increased contact between
peoples and nations enhances awareness of our kinship and the shared code of ethics
and conduct that underlies all civilization. It is these values that we must now
promote to create a common vision and means for moving forward toward a more peaceful
and sustainable world.
