How many countries are part of the Commonwealth?
Commonwealth of Nations
The Commonwealth's objectives were first outlined in the 1971 Singapore Declaration, which committed the Commonwealth to the institution of world peace; promotion of representative democracy and individual liberty; the pursuit of equality and opposition to racism; the fight against poverty, ignorance, and disease; and free trade.[103] To these were added opposition to discrimination on the basis of gender by the Lusaka Declaration of 1979,[49] and environmental sustainability by the Langkawi Declaration of 1989.[104] These objectives were reinforced by the Harare Declaration in 1991.[105]
