Rooted in the principles of equality, individual rights, and collective decision-making, democracy promotes a system where citizens actively participate in shaping their government and society.

Human Rights

Human rights as a value entail recognizing and upholding the inherent dignity and equality of all individuals, advocating for the protection and promotion of basic freedoms, and fostering a global commitment to justice, fairness, and respect for the rights and well-being of every person.

Rule of Law

Rule of law as a value upholds the notion that a just society relies on consistent and transparent legal principles applied impartially, ensuring that all individuals are subject to a fair and equitable legal framework that underpins accountability and civic trust.

Equity and Inclusion

Equity and inclusion as values underscore the commitment to creating a society where all individuals, regardless of background or identity, have equal opportunities, representation, and access to resources, promoting a culture of diversity, belonging, and social justice.

Anti-Imperialism and Decolonization

Anti-imperialism and decolonization as values embody the belief in dismantling oppressive power structures, advocating for the self-determination of historically subjugated nations, and striving for a world where cultural autonomy, equality, and justice prevail over colonial legacies and imperialistic practices.

Integrity

Integrity as a value is characterised by steadfast adherence to honesty, moral principles, and ethical consistency, reflecting a commitment to transparency, trustworthiness, and a sense of honour in personal and professional conduct.
