JCI presents the Universal Declaration of Human Duties for Leaders, empowering young leaders to act based on individual and collective responsibilities. These articles aim to strengthen respect for Human Rights and Responsibilities through knowledge and compliance. They refer to individuals and institutions from all three sectors of society: government, business, and civil society.
JCI supports those who assume the duty to lead their lives and work focused on respect and responsibility for the prosperity of humanity now and in the future. It emphasizes the importance of preserving life by protecting human dignity and caring for oneself, others, and the community to the best of one’s ability while promoting long-term peace, inclusion, and prosperity for all. Serving humanity involves respecting, caring for, and honoring every individual, and contributing to a safe and fair community.
Sustainability for the future is essential, which involves protecting the physical environment and preserving ecosystems by choosing sustainable practices that lay the foundations for future generations. Pursuing prosperity means preserving, protecting, and encouraging the freedom to pursue enterprise and upholding individual and communal responsibility to add value to the economy and society. Respecting human personality involves cherishing the diverse opinions of fellow leaders and respecting elements of all cultures, including heritage, language, and diversity in all forms.
Education is a key component, where promoting access to equitable education and equal opportunity is vital. It is important to appreciate, develop, and explore human talent and entrepreneurial spirit while using and enhancing skills, knowledge, and talent to uplift others. Leading responsibly requires exercising and protecting individual freedom of expression, protecting the interests of both the majority and minority, and creating an environment of mutual respect. Knowing, respecting, and promoting Human Rights is fundamental to responsible leadership.
