The Commonwealth

The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of independent nations bound by shared values and traditions. One of the common features amongst the member states of the Commonwealth is the English culture and traditions.Unfortunately in more ways than one this has been a drag on the evolution of the Commonwealth as a positive force in world affairs.
Every country is unique and has its own cultural and social ethos. Any attempt to force a uniform pattern of governance is bound to be counter-productive.It is essential that each nation develop institutions which are in keeping with its unique identity while retaining vales of democracy,individual dignity,freedom of expression,equality and tolerance.
To enable the Commonwealth to realize its full potential,it is absolutely essential that a multi-dimensional and multi-cultural approach be adopted to tackle the serious problems of poverty,hunger,illiteracy,terrorism,gender-violence,corruption
and anarchy prevailing in the member states.
