Reaffirming the commitment of all States to fulfil their obligations to promote
universal respect for and observance and protection of all human rights and fundamental
freedoms for all, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, other instruments
relating to human rights, and international law,
Affirming that the enhancement of international cooperation for the promotion and the
protection of all human rights should continue to be carried out in full conformity with the
purposes and principles of the Charter and of international law and with, inter alia, full respect
for sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence, the non-use of force or the threat

and for the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small,
Reaffirming also that everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which
the rights and freedoms set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights can be fully
realized,
Reaffirming further the determination expressed in the Preamble to the Charter to save
succeeding generations from the scourge of war, to establish conditions under which justice
and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can
be maintained, to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, to
practice tolerance and good neighbourliness, and to employ international machinery for the
promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,
Stressing that the responsibility for managing worldwide economic and social issues
and threats to international peace and security must be shared among the nations of the world
and should be exercised multilaterally, and that in this regard the central role must be played
by the United Nations as the most universal and representative organization in the world,
