 The aim of International Service in Rotary is expressed in the
fourth Avenue of Service; namely, to encourage and foster the
advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace
through a world fellowship of business and professional persons
united in the ideal of service.
Freedom, justice, truth, sanctity of the pledged word, and respect
for human rights are inherent in Rotary principles and are also
vital to the maintenance of international peace and order and to
human progress.
