The society will uphold the human rights of people in the country, including the rights of resident non-citizens, to ensure an environment free from fear and injustice.

The society will implement socio-economic and political justice through independent legislative and judicial institutions. Besides, it will also try to spread awareness among the public about human rights and civil liberties.

The society will maintain equality between members of the society and fight discrimination on the basis of religious, ideological, racial, and ethnic differences. It will protect the rights of detainees, prisoners, people with special needs, and victims of natural disasters and other tragedies. The body will strive to provide all these groups the opportunity lead an honourable life.

The society rejects any type of violence and use of power and calls for democratic dialogue based on extending full respect to the other opinion. The society will cooperate with relevant authorities to enhance the implementation of the principles of justice away from arbitration, force and fear.
