Evolving Vision Statement
The NGO Committee on Spirituality, Values, and Global Concerns envisions a global culture of peace, solidarity, inclusiveness, shared responsibility, harmony, cooperation, goodwill and reverence for the sacredness of all life through active peaceful engagement. Infused with a foundation of spirituality and values which are universal in nature, transcending the boundaries of religion, ethnicity, gender and geography, the Committee is resolved to help bring about a culture in which we, the peoples of the world, can address together our common global concerns in an holistic, positive and transforming way and ‘live together in peace with one another’ – thus realizing the core objectives and universal principles stated in the United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Evolving Mission Statement
The Committee aims to integrate spirituality and values into all areas of the United Nations agenda and of public policy. We aspire to support the spiritual principles, global ethics and universal values such as respect, justice, peace, dignity, freedom, responsibility and cooperation, that underlie the work of the United Nations as reflected in the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
In order to fulfill the promise of the United Nations to create a more peaceful,
just and sustainable world, we support the recognition and acceptance that
spirituality and adherence to universal values are key factors in providing
solutions to global concerns. This committee recognizes the importance of
connecting with our divine essence, inner wisdom and the oneness of life.
We believe that an increased awareness and application of the importance of
a value, spirit and soul conscious dimension at all levels of society particularly
at the United Nations will allow for the finest and the highest levels of
human potential to flourish for the benefit of all.
