Global Unification International ("GUI") and its Global, Continental, Sub-Continental, National, and Regional Committees, as signatories to this Constitution, hereby make the following declaration:

Recognising that emerging economies across the world face similar challenges, there arises a compelling need to establish standardised systems akin to those employed by developed nations.

Ineffective policies adversely impact the lives of ordinary individuals in emerging economies. Therefore, it is imperative to implement specialised programs that prioritise justice, equality, peace, health, education, sustainable development, technology transfer, and poverty eradication. These endeavours are essential to uphold the dignity of all humanity and represent a sacred responsibility incumbent upon all nations. It is the very purpose for which Global Unification International was established and as stated in its Charter.

In light of these circumstances, the parties to this Constitution, firmly believe in providing equal and comprehensive educational opportunities for all, as well as fostering the pursuit of objective truth, free exchange of ideas, and information technology, hereby commit themselves to the following:

They are resolute in developing and enhancing channels of communication among their populations.

They will utilise these communication channels to foster mutual understanding and promote a more accurate and profound understanding of each other's cultures, technologies, and infrastructures.

“Good governance is the foundation of economic Justice and poverty reduction.”
