Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between people and nations,

Whereas the people of the world have affirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
