Protection of Cultural Diversity
The richness of human cultural diversity should be celebrated and protected while humanity achieves unity in its essential spiritual and social reality.
The Bahá'í vision of world unity is not uniformity but unity in diversity — like a garden of varied flowers or a symphony of many instruments. Cultural diversity — languages, arts, traditions, customs — is a treasure to be cherished. World unity means shared governance and principles, not homogenized culture.
Unity in diversity is the watchword of the Bahá'í Faith.
Unity in diversity represents a sophisticated political philosophy that anticipates pluralist models of global governance.
