Founding Declaration

The Declaration That
Established the Compact

Adopted in the spirit of peace, cooperation, responsibility, ethical stewardship, and service to humanity.

We, the founders, supporters, partners, and participants of the Global Compact for Peace, Human Security and Responsible International Cooperation, mindful of the challenges and opportunities facing humanity in the twenty-first century, hereby affirm our shared commitment to advancing peace, human dignity, ethical governance, responsible international cooperation, and sustainable development for present and future generations.

Recognizing the interconnected nature of our world and the common destiny shared by all peoples and nations, we acknowledge that enduring peace, security, prosperity, and human flourishing can only be achieved through dialogue, cooperation, mutual respect, and collective responsibility.

We further recognize that humanity faces complex and evolving challenges, including armed conflict, humanitarian crises, poverty, inequality, environmental degradation, climate-related risks, technological disruption, social fragmentation, and threats to human security. These challenges require principled leadership, innovative solutions, and strengthened international cooperation.

Guided by the principles of human dignity, peaceful coexistence, responsible sovereignty, the rule of international law, ethical governance, environmental responsibility, intercultural respect, and responsible technological advancement, we establish this Compact as a voluntary multipolar framework for peace, human security, responsible international cooperation, partnership, dialogue, and collective action.

Through this Compact, we seek to promote:
Peace and preventive diplomacy among nations and peoples
Human security and humanitarian cooperation
Ethical governance and institutional integrity
Sustainable development and climate responsibility
Responsible digital governance and emerging technologies
Youth leadership and future-generational responsibility
Intercultural and interfaith understanding
Strategic stability and constructive international engagement
Partnerships that strengthen cooperation among governments, international organizations, academia, civil society, faith communities, the private sector, and global citizens

This Compact is voluntary in character and non-binding in legal effect. It is intended to serve as a platform for cooperation, dialogue, partnership, and shared commitment among diverse stakeholders while respecting the sovereignty, laws, traditions, beliefs, and institutional independence of all participants.

We therefore declare our intention to work together in a spirit of mutual respect, solidarity, responsibility, and hope to advance a more peaceful, secure, just, resilient, and sustainable world for present and future generations.
