Vision and Mission

 

Vision

The Committee aims to bring the spiritual and values dimension in all areas of the United Nations agenda and of public policy.


Mission Statement

The Committee recognizes that an emphasis on spirituality is a key factor in providing common solutions to global
concerns such as human rights violations, lack of distributive justice, inner and outer poverty, destruction of the planet,
injustice through racism, religious intolerance and all forms of discrimination, conflict, violence, terrorism, and war.

 

The Committee wishes to facilitate dialogue by bringing people together to inspire an increased awareness of individual and common responsibilities in order to address global concerns and universal values. Religions, cultures and traditions around the world use a variety of ways to enter into communion with other levels of beingness or with one's innate indwelling nature and acknowledge humanity's role within an interconnected and interdepend circle of life through silence, contemplation, ritual,  prayer, celebrations, reflection and meditation to ensure inner peace, well-being and to uplift individuals, families, communities, nations and life on earth, so that the finest and highest human qualities are self-realised and the full potential of human life can be expressed and preserved.
