  • Value the life of every human being.

  • Recognize that every individual’s behavior affects every other individual, because we are all united.

  • Place a high premium on dignity, humaneness, and respect.

  • Shift confrontation to mediation.

  • Maintain positive attitudes and shared concerns.

  • Establish harmony and dignity while maintaining fair restitution, rather than retributive justice.

  • Favor reconciliation over estrangement.

  • Promote mutual understanding and learning rather than shaming and punishing.

  • Use face-to-face facilitation for understanding and resolution, rather than debate or victory won by the most powerful.

  • Sustain civil communication and conduct.

“At Nelson Mandela’s memorial, President Barack Obama spoke about Ubuntu, saying, “There is a word in South Africa – Ubuntu – a word that captures Mandela’s greatest gift: his recognition that we are all bound together in ways that are invisible to the eye; that there is a oneness to humanity; that we achieve ourselves by sharing ourselves with others, and caring for those around us”
