Aims and objectives
Our aims
Activities are based on the following objectives:
- Contribution to a universal order based on principles of human dignity, solidarity of peoples and freedom of communication.
- Facilitation of the development and efficiency of non-governmental networks in every field of human activity, especially non-profit and voluntary associations, considered to be essential components of contemporary society;
- Collection, research and disseminatation of information on international bodies, both governmental and non-governmental, their interrelationships, their meetings, and problems and strategies they are dealing with;
- Experimentation with more meaningful and action-oriented ways of presenting such information to enable these initiatives to develop and counterbalance each other creatively, and as a catalyst for the emergence of new forms of associative activity and transnational co-operation;
- Promotion of research on the legal, administrative and other problems common to these international associations, especially in their contacts with governmental bodies.
To these ends, the UIA maintains contacts with a wide variety of bodies in all parts of the world, as a foundation for better organizational networking and programme harmonization in response to networks of increasingly complex world problems.
