Each statement of principles speaks to a certain perception of a set
of problems. When it guides actions, a statement of principles can
become part of the solution to that set of problems.

I would suggest that the process towards a “universal statement” of
principles needs to begin with building a shared understanding of the
set of problems that this “universal statement” would contribute to
solving.
