Part 2
declaration of unalienable natural rights
Whereas recognition of the inherent perfection and of the equal and unalienable natural rights of
all members of the human family is the only foundation for a new paradigm of freedom, justice,
peace, prosperity, harmony and abundance in the world.
Whereas disregard and contempt for the unalienable natural rights of men and women has hitherto resulted in unconscionable crimes against mankind and planet earth.
Whereas the advent of a world in which mankind shall enjoy freedom in all its forms has been
proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the people.
Whereas it is essential to ensure fellowship of nations that a universal understanding of the unalienable natural rights of men and women be arrived at.
Whereas it is essential, if men and women are not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last
resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that unalienable natural rights should be protected by the rule of law, insofar as such protection could not be interpreted to said rights.
Whereas the High Contracting Parties have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with
one another, the promotion of universal respect for, and observance of, unalienable natural rights.
Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for
the full realization of this pledge.
now therefore, in recognition of the divine birthrights inherent to the human condition, and
with a view to preventing further crimes against mankind and planet earth, it is hereby declared
that all people are unalienably endowed with:
Article 24
The right to life, liberty, privacy and silence.
Article 25
The right to live freely in peace without let, hindrance or charge.
Article 26
Article 27
The right to use and enjoy any and all property, held in peaceful possession, with
out charge or levy.
The right to experience freedom from coercion.
Article 28
The right to determine one’s own identity.
