We, the Triglav Circle, are concerned world citizens who bring our diverse national heritages, experiences and perspectives to a reflection on global issues. Values inherent in the spirit of humankind and time-honored wisdom acknowledged in cultural, philosophical, and spiritual traditions are sources from which we draw insight and inspiration. We bring attention to the urgency of considering the non-material as well as the material dimensions of life to enhance the security and well-being of all peoples, to build a pluralistic and harmonious world community, and to preserve and protect our planetary habitat.

"Although increasingly interdependent, our world continues to be divided - not only by economic differences, but also by religion and culture. That is not in itself a problem. Throughout history human life has been enriched by diversity, and different communities have learnt from each other. But if our different communities are to live together in peace we must stress also what unites us: our common humanity, and our shared belief that human dignity and rights should be protected by law."

"From the most favored and the lesser favored countries of the world and those people who tell of the common task of peace and well-being comes this wonderfully persuasive guide to a better life for all."
