Fayaz Foundation shall provide a platform for Afghan and non-Afghan human rights activists who believe in the principles which constitute the vision of the Foundation and distinguish it from other human rights organizations working for and on Afghanistan. These principles are:

a- That human rights have a universal character, and that awareness of the existence and the importance of these rights by ordinary Afghans is the main condition for their enjoyment of their human rights. Promoting such awareness can be achieved through the work of Afghan volunteers.  The support of the international community can only play a secondary role.

b- That mere awareness and recognition of civil and political rights cannot and do not entail enjoyment of such rights if the majority of the citizens of a country are deprived from their internationally recognized social and economic rights, and if the people of that country cannot exercise the right to self-determination.

c- That the objectivity of human rights organizations in their judgment of facts is non-negotiable and that such organizations cannot and should not be vulnerable to pressure by governments, intergovernmental organizations or financial sponsors. Donations by natural and legal persons must be free of conditions that would impinge on the objectivity and independence of human rights organizations.
