Sechü-Zubza Charter of Responsibility

“A Generation with Responsibility”

Asia Pacific Youth Hoho (APYH) December 7 – 13, 2012, Nagaland

Selfishness and corruption through deceit or extortion in any form are violations of human rights.  Our planet has enough for the needs of everyone but not for the greed of everyone.  Her health and her resources sustain us. It requires us to care, to change and be responsible.

Discovering that guided by God, such selflessness can become normal living, APYH participants have accepted the following charter to be the basis of their lives.  Some have already taken the first steps of change.

• Blame game: I will admit when I am wrong and say sorry.

• Work ethics: I will care as much for my work as I care for my salary.

• Ends & Means: I will use clean and ethical methods for solving my problems and achieving my goals.

• Tribalism/Communalism: I will combat it by reaching out to other tribes/communities with transparency.

• Environment: I will care for the cleanliness of my immediate surroundings and play my part to preserve the eco-system which sustains all life.

• Reconciliation: Forgiveness makes politics and growth possible. I will acknowledge where I have hurt others instead of being obsessed with where others have hurt me.

• Clean election: I will not bribe or be bribed in any way.

As I am, so is my nation.

If not now, when?

If not me, who?

In alignment with its Vision Statement of restoring the health of our socio-political system and democracy and looking at the common concerns around us,

The Naga Rising on this day i.e September 13, 2020 resolves to adopt the Sechü-Zubza Charter of Responsibility which was framed by the Asia Pacific Youth Hoho (APYH) December 7 – 13, 2012, Nagaland.

The Naga Rising strongly believes that this ‘Charter of Responsibility’ will act as a moral guide and give more meaning and success to our democracy

Adopted in the presence of Mhasikhoto Zhünyü, Chairman of Sechü-Zubza Village Council and Seyiekhrielie Vimerha, President of Sechü-Zubza Youth Organization
