Freedom also implies rights and responsibilities. Those who call for freedom for themselves must also respect the freedom of others. The limits on individuals are co-determined with the freedoms of fellow citizens regarding responsibilities towards those near, future generations and before God. We must maintain both the physical and intellectual environment that we inhabit. We recognise the principle of the constitutional state and democratic opposition to individualism at the expense of others.
Freedom also means preparedness to defend it when necessary.
Those who are free have an obligation to defend the freedom of others from whom it has been seized. Freedom is not a privilege for the few, but must be attainable by all - peoples, societal groupings and individuals. We support freedom, the right of self determination of peoples and democracy across the world. An individual's right of unhindered self development is not dependent on hos or her age, societal position or gender. Women and men are of equal legal standing in family matters, work, politics and all other domains.
