The Commonwealth Charter

The Commonwealth Charter is a key document that outlines the values and principles of the Commonwealth of Nations, a global organization of countries, most of which were once part of the British Empire. Adopted in 2013, the Charter emphasizes democracy, human rights, peace, and development, promoting cooperation among member states. It serves as a guiding framework for Commonwealth activities, encouraging shared values like tolerance, respect, and good governance while supporting social justice and sustainable development. Ultimately, the Charter aims to strengthen relationships among member countries and improve the well-being of their citizens.
