37. The Islamic Republic of Mauritania, a country where all races and all currents of African thought meet and find mutual inspiration and enrichment, aspires to be an agent for union and understanding in Africa, and to contribute to reconciliation among men and to the maintenance of peace. 38. The Mauritanian people’s deep attachment to the fundamental principles of the Charter of our Organization is based on the keen sense of justice and respect for the dignity of man that is one of the most typical assets of Mauritanian society; in other words, racial or religious prejudices are completely foreign to our outlook on the serious problems troubling the world in which we live.
