Mission

OneWorld International Foundation, the governing body of the OneWorld network, determines the vision, mission, values and aims of OneWorld.
our vision

OneWorld has a vision of equitable and sustainable distribution of wealth amongst the world's population, underpinned by global attainment and protection of human rights and by governance structures which permit local communities control over their own affairs.

our mission OneWorld is dedicated to harnessing the democratic potential of the internet to promote human rights and sustainable development

our values OneWorld values:

human rights for all as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
sharing the world's natural and economic resources fairly
simple and sustainable ways of life
the right of every individual to inform and be informed, with access for all to the benefits of new technology
participation and transparency in decision-making
social, cultural and linguistic diversity

OneWorld seeks to respect these values in its operations and governance and to:

work in a spirit of partnership with organisations with overlapping aims
follow principles of not-for-profit organisations with structures of ownership which are non-beneficial
recognise that rights of access to internet technology should be balanced by responsibilities in its application
avoid any source of finance derived from activities which indisputably conflict with our vision and values

our aims OneWorld aims to be the online media gateway that most effectively informs a global audience about human rights and sustainable development

OneWorld aims to bring together a global community working for sustainable development through interactive online partnerships of organisations and individuals sharing our vision

OneWorld aims to transcend geographic and linguistic barriers in our work; in particular to give a voice to those typically overlooked by mainstream media and policy-makers
