In the context of the socio-economic and political realities of the country as well as development initiatives by the civil society organizations in Pakistan, we are of the opinion that unless rights agenda led by people’s movements around rights and the issues contributing to the collectivism and interestedness in development initiatives based on the basic values of liberties and liberations of individuals and of collectives in the social, economic and cultural realms is not made a core strategy of development in the country, it will become almost impossible to achieve the destiny of the socially, economic and culturally liberated and empowered man, women, children, youth, religious and ethnic minorities and vulnerable classes. 2. The economic self-reliance and livelihood security combined with right based initiatives are the essential tiers of the development outlook required by Sindh, Pakistan, South Asia and rest of the world. 3. A democracy in which people are not elevated enough to reach the stage of ‘the governance by the people’ is never considered a true democracy. 4. Justice and Peace are foundation values of a truly free human society. Any initiative for the development and socio-economic uplift of the people does not favor as well as promote these values will prove to be retrogressive in the context of social development. 5. Diversity in all of its forms is the beauty of modern social web emerged through modern human and industrial development. 6. Humanity and all other forms of life have equal right over what is offered by nature on the globe. Being a higher form of consciousness, human is more responsible to earth and all forms of life over it. 7. The initiatives by state or non state actors that contradict or devoid of the essential rights of freedoms agreed under various charters of United Nations to various classes, nations and ethnicities, cultural groups, religions and sects, minorities and genders are considered to be against the core values of a just and true spirit of democracy. 8. A healthier political discourse and culture is necessary for the development, democracy and peace. 9. Spiritually rich and elevated individuals are the foundation for socially and culturally rich human society. 10. Non-violence is core value of actions and initiatives for the human development.
