NOW THEREFORE the parties agree as follows.
1. GENERAL STATUS AND PURPOSE
1.1 Institutional Platform
If approved, the IC shall operate as a program within the institutional platform of United World Leaders and shall not constitute an independent legal entity representing UWL unless expressly authorized in writing.
1.2 Alignment with Mission
All IC activities, individual and collective, must align with the mission of UWL and be approved by the UWL.:
UWL mission is to bring peace and socioeconomic prosperity across the world and advance initiatives promoting international cooperation.
1.3 Non-Political, Non-Religious, and Non-Divisive Conduct
United World Leaders is a global institutional platform dedicated to fostering cooperation, dialogue, and collaboration among individuals, organizations, and nations across the world in pursuit of peace and the elevation of global socioeconomic prosperity.
Accordingly, the Initiative or Council and the Representative shall not use the United World Leaders platform, name, or affiliation to promote political campaigns, partisan political agendas, political parties, government factions, or religious advocacy.
All activities conducted under the United World Leaders platform shall be guided by the principles of mutual respect, constructive dialogue, and the pursuit of common ground among diverse individuals, institutions, and nations.
Participants in United World Leaders initiatives are expected to respect the diversity of cultures, perspectives, political systems, and national interests represented within the global community and to engage with such differences in a spirit of cooperation, understanding, and constructive engagement.
The Representative and the Initiative or Council shall therefore refrain from engaging in activities, communications, or public statements that, in the reasonable judgment of United World Leaders:
- promote division, hostility, or antagonism among individuals, communities, organizations, or nations
• assign blame to particular peoples, societies, or countries in a manner intended to create conflict or polarization
• frame global issues in adversarial or “us-versus-them” terms between groups or nations
• encourage discrimination, exclusion, or separation among participants in the global community
• attempt to use the United World Leaders platform to advance geopolitical propaganda, influence campaigns, or the strategic interests of any particular government, political movement, or geopolitical bloc.
Activities conducted under the United World Leaders platform shall instead emphasize constructive engagement, cooperation across differences, and the identification of shared interests among diverse participants, with the objective of working with all individuals, organizations, and nations toward the advancement of peace and the improvement of global socioeconomic well-being.
United World Leaders reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or terminate any Initiative or Council that engages in conduct or communications inconsistent with the principles described in this section.
