Effective promotion of citizens’ fundamental freedoms paves a way for peace that is mostly needed for the survival of a democratic government; while development in terms of economy, education, science and culture remains an essential attribute of a sovereign nation in which citizens are given the opportunity to pursue their safety and happiness.
