The Human Partnership Covenant

Overview

This Covenant represents an organizing concept for a moral, organizational, and legal infrastructure model to manage a shared human existence. Its central goal is to bridge between religions, beliefs, and scientific worldviews, while encouraging spiritual mediation and support processes, and neutralizing mechanisms of violence and coercion. The Covenant is based on the recognition that it is possible to preserve community uniqueness while simultaneously agreeing upon universal core values that ensure human prosperity.

1. Sanctity of Life: Absolute prohibition on intentional harm to human life in the name of religious, national, or ideological justification.
2. Freedom of Conscience and Reason: The unquestionable right of every person to adhere to or change their worldview or belief.
3. Mutual Responsibility: Active social involvement to reduce suffering, poverty, and ignorance worldwide.
4. Sovereignty of Consciousness: Protection of the individual's freedom of thought against coercion or psychological manipulation.
5. Conflict Management: Support, encouragement, and assistance in international mediation and arbitration to resolve disputes.
6. Absolute Proportional Representation: Support for the establishment of a global council where every belief or perspective will be represented.
7. Integrity and Transparency: Full transparency of all Council actions, economic and otherwise, including independent external auditing.
8. Separation of Power from Funding: Stream representatives in the Council will act voluntarily or be funded solely by their communities.
9. Living Document: The Covenant is based on a transparent mechanism allowing every person, whoever they may be, to propose changes and improvements.

"The Human Partnership Covenant" does not seek to solve all the riddles of the universe, and it does not pretend to replace the intimate connection between a person and their God, or between a person and their reason.

All its goal is to build a solid moral floor, upon which we can all stand safely, without fear, and without bloodshed.

This document is the first step for a journey of a thousand miles. It demands from us to abandon the hatred that we were accustomed to, but it does not demand from us to give up our identity.

On the contrary – it asks from us to bring the beauty, the grace and the unique wisdom of every tradition, and to lay them as a gift on the table of the human family.

We, the undersigned below, members of different religions, members of different nations, speakers of different languages and holding diverse worldviews, agree that the unifying is greater than the dividing.

We commit to sanctify life, to search for peace, and to build together a world in which every boy and girl will be able to grow up out of security and respect for their heritage and for their future.

We sign on this Covenant for the sake of ourselves, for the sake of our brothers, for the sake of the generations that are yet to come and for the sake of the soul of the world.

For we are one family.
