Globalization and postmodernity - equality and equity for all?

"We believe that the central challenge we face today is to ensure that globalization becomes a positive force for all the world’s people." [17]

"We recognize that, in addition to our separate responsibilities to our individual societies, we have a collective responsibility to uphold the principles of human dignity, equality and equity at the global level. As leaders we have a duty therefore to all the world’s people, especially the most vulnerable and, in particular, the children of the world, to whom the future belongs." [17]
