PREAMBLE
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the corporate family is the foundation of prosperity, money, and greed in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for worker rights have resulted in profit margins which have outraged the competition, a world in which corporate beings enjoy freedom of speech and tax evasion and freedom from regard for others and suchlike has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people persons,
Whereas it is essential, if corporations are not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that corporate rights should be protected by the rule of law, or absence of same, whichever works,
Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between corporations,
Whereas the people persons of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental corporate rights, in the dignity and worth of the corporate personhood and in the equal rights of for-profit corporations, and have determined to promote unbridled greed and better bottom lines in slash and burn tactics,
Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of corporation rights and fundamental freedoms,
Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,
Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims this UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF CORPORATE RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all people persons and all corporations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by regressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the people persons of Member States themselves and among the people persons of territories under their jurisdiction.
All corporate beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Except for non-profits, which is anathema to the fundamental concept of making lots of money. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of corporatehood.
Every corporation is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property (except for non-profits), birth [Is this a mistake? -Ed.], or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional, or international status of the country or territory to which a persona ficta is chartered, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing, or under any other limitation of sovereignty.
Every corporation has the right to business, moneymaking, and securities for investment purposes.
No corporation shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms, except with regard to the work force.
