FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
First Principle:
The Arab Nation Unity and Liberty
The Arabs are One Nation, which has its natural right to
live under One State and to be free in running its potentials.
Therefore, the Baath Arab Socialist Party considers that:
1- The Arab Homeland is an indivisible political and economic
entity, and that no Arab country can make up for the conditions
of its existence away from the other Arab countries.
2- The Arab Nation is one educational entity. All differences
existing among its natives are casual and fake. They can
be removed by the awakening of the Arab conscience.
3- The Arab Homeland belongs to the Arabs. They alone have
the right to administer its affairs, wealth and the running
of its potentials.
Second Principle:
The Arab Nation Character
The Arab Nation is distinguished by characteristics that
are manifest in its consecutive revivals. It is stamped
with the fertility of vivacity and creativity, the capability
to renewal and resurrection which always conforms with
the growth of the individual's freedom and the extent
of harmony between his development and the Pan-Arab National
interest. Therefore, the Baath Arab Socialist Party considers
that:
1- The freedom of Speech, Assembly, Belief and Art are
holy and no authority can undermine them.
2- After giving the citizens equal opportunities, their
value can be determined according to the work they perform
for the progress of the Arab Nation and its prosperity,
irrespective of any other consideration.
Third Principle:
The Arab Nation Mission
The Arab Nation has an eternal mission that appears in
renovative forms and integrated in all stages of history.
It aims at renewing human values, motivating human advancement
and developing the harmony and cooperation among nations.
Therefore, the Baath Arab Socialist Party considers that:
1- Colonialism and anything relevant to it is a criminal
act that the Arab combating by all possible means. The
Arabs, within their material and moral capabilities, seek
to help all peoples who struggle for their freedom.
2- Humanity is a whole solidified in its interest and
commonly linked by its values and civilization. Therefore,
the Arabs give the world civilization and take from it.
They extend a brotherly hand to all other nations and
cooperate with them for establishing just systems, which
safeguard, for all peoples, peace, prosperity and sublimation
in spirit and temper.
