The Imperative of Responsibility

Humanity, faced with a fragile environment and an uncertain future, must act collectively according to principles of responsibility.

These principles must extend to the earth's biosphere and to the distant horizon of future generations to guide our decisions on present actions, in the field of politics.

Listening to the silent appeal emitted by the whole living world, where it sees its integrity threatened, we hereby formulate these principles:

• "Consider vulnerable nature a good entrusted to you"

• "Act so that the effects of your action are compatible with the permanence of genuine human life"

As we do not know the ultimate, cumulative and irreversible effects of our technological successes, we formulate the following principle:

• "Ensure that your power to do does not exceed your power to foresee, to evaluate and to judge"

In short: (cf. Hans Jonas): the Imperative of Responsibility. This means something as regards the Framework for International Trade
