2. Diversity means
understanding that
each individual person is
unique and recognising,
empowering,
respecting, and
appreciating all our
individual differences.
These can be along the
dimensions of race,
ethnicity, gender, sexual
orientation, socio-
economic status, age,
physical abilities,
religious beliefs, political
beliefs, or other
ideologies.

3. In order for us to unearth the
meaning and significance of
pluralism, it is extremely
important that we first turn our
attention to considering the
philosophy of universalism in
ethics.
Pluralism
When to truly fix the issue pluralist language is
required. For instance, many United Nations
Conventions, Treaties, Regulations, and
Agreements centred on protecting human rights
are based on a false assumption that there is one
universal set of collective values.
SHRG believes that there is a tendency, amongst the international human
rights community and prominent international organisations and agencies
who are striving to protect human rights, towards adopting universal
language when it comes to tackling the issues surrounding diversity.

4. Pluralism and
Diversity.
Almost all cultures, civilizations, and
community belief systems have some
concepts, rules, and taboos that can
inform us about the human relationship
between people from all corners of the
globe.
SHRG believes that it is only when
people learn to coexist with people
from all cultures, ethnicities, and
backgrounds that we will be able to
eradicate issues surrounding diversity
and lack of acceptance. For instance,
adopting pluralistic phrasing in a
Declaration on Diversity will encourage
people to live through their own
customs, beliefs, and cultures. cultures civilizations community

5. Sikh Human
Rights Group
The SHRG is working on the United Nations
Declaration on Diversity, this idea was formed
during the run-up to the UN World Conference
Against Racism in Durban, 2001.
SHRG started with the proposition that Racial
Parity is pointless without Cultural Parity; this was
then taken up by a number of countries.

6. The United Nations and the world community have made great
strides in reducing discrimination of various kinds, such as race,
gender, disability, lifestyles, beliefs, etc… These have been achieved
through the enactment of many Conventions, such as the ICCPR, the
ICERD, the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of
Discrimination Against Women, and so on.
The Declaration will encourage States to bring the United Nations
attention to the positive actions that they have taken such as the
programs they have adopted to make their population comfortable
with diversity.
However, our global community must work together to further take
forward the work of the United Nations and its many agencies in the
field of Diversity.
