Our vision: Cultural liberty as the capability of people to live and be what they choose, with adequate opportunity to consider other options, and without losing respect to others or being excluded from other choices, is important in leading a full life. It is this quest to lead a full and meaningful life that people are demanding that their identities be acknowledged, appreciated and accommodated by the wider society. The world evermore interdependent economically cannot function unless people respect diversity and build unity through common bonds of humanity. Aware that cultural diversity can be an asset when used positively to mobilize people and resources to promote unity and socio-economic developments, and the importance of liberty to human development, every effort must be made to further this cultural cause.” |
