Recalling the 1997 Oxford Manifesto,
Recognizing that everyone has the right to freedom of belief, thought, conscience, opinion, expression, association, movement, and to own private property.
Endorsing that all people have the right to freedom against discrimination on the grounds of race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth.
Noting that the constitutions or laws of all states do not protect these rights, and even in countries where these rights are formally guaranteed by the constitution or legislation they are not necessarily respected in practice.
Calling upon governments and member parties to work to implement appropriate legislative or constitutional change in order to guarantee these fundamental rights where they are lacking.
Demanding that governments and member parties act to ensure that in countries where the aforementioned rights are guaranteed by law they are also respected and protected in practice.
