The Basic Beliels of The WPA
WPA is inspired by a vision of a society freed from ethnic fears and insecurity, in which
the rights of the individual would be paramount and in which all strata of society have a
critical role to play in the production of wealth and in the evolution of the social
system. WPA is committed to the full and harmonious development of all of Guyana's
resources - human, natural, scientific, technical, cultural for the benefit of all its
people. The party is committed to the system of free individual or collective enterprise
for the creation of wealth and to the utilization of all business and professional talents
available, local and overseas, regardless of party affiliation, to build our nation for
the good of all. None shall live in want while our productive potential remains
unrealised.
WPA is committed to a goal of social justice that involves all the key social partners and
leaves no part of the nation disadvantaged, destitute, uncared for or unequal in access to
the resources and opportunities of the country. Social progress has to be laid on the
foundation of enlightened and democratic political and legal institutions, profound social
morality and the flowering of culture. WPA is firmly committed to the rights of women and
to full equality and redress of past wrongs for the Amerindian peoples. The party is
equally committed to a goal of acceptance of people with disabilities as full citizens who
are provided with the means to function as full citizens. WPA recognises that the future
of our country lies in the proverbial "hands of our youth" and will make every
endeavour to give our youth the best opportunities to seize the future. WPA is committed
to the preservation of the sovereignty of our territory and a responsible role for Guyana
in the world community. The party firmly supports the United Nations Charter and will
honour the various treaties and international obligations of Guyana, beginning with those
in our own Caribbean Region, our neighbours in the Americas and our historical and
ancestral ties with Africa, Europe and India.
