STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES (18-34)This later text of the Statement of Guiding Principles further enunciates what we stand for - these are general ideal and principles laid out, which each of us will maybe choose to focus on their own unique menu of priorities, but as a World Intellectual Forum, this provides an overview of the entire continent of our guiding ideals.

STATEMENT OF GUIDING VALUES We of the WIF believe that if we are to find a path to a new world in which peace can replace conflict, and justice replace injustice, and truth replace lies, we each need to adhere as a global community of civilisations to a set of guiding values, which are inviolable and eternal, and although they change in different generations and among different linguistic and religious formations, they are in fact of long-lasting inter-generational value and if we are to survive as one humanity, we need to remember them, visualise them in our hearts and minds, and insist that our current political, governance and religious leaders adhere to them, or be called to account by destiny.
