We, the intelligent lifeforms of the United Federation of Planets, determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of intergalactic war which has brought untold horror and suffering to our planetary social systems, and to reaffirm faith in the fundamental intelligent lifeform rights, in the
dignity and worth of the intelligent lifeform person, to the
equal rights of male and female and of planetary social systems large and small, and to establish conditions under which
justice and mutual respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of interplanetary law can be maintained, and to promote
social progress and better
standards of life in larger freedom, And to these ends to practice
benevolent tolerance and live together in
peace with one another as good neighbors, and to
unite our strength to maintain intergalactic peace and security, and to ensure by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods that armed force shall not be used except in the common defense, and to employ intergalactic machinery for the promotion of the
economic and
social advancement of all intelligent lifeforms, Have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims.
Everyone should have the same chance to life without negatively effecting others. Regardless of where we come from, what we look like, or how much money we make, we are all just people.
