The members of PEN International contribute good understanding and mutual respect between nations and people, doing their utmost to dispel all hatreds and to champion the ideal of one humanity living in peace and equality in one world. PEN members stand for the principle of unhampered transmission of thought within each nation and between all nations and are convinced that the patrimony of humanity at large, should be left untouched by national or political passion.
