We will ensure equal rights before the law and the protection of our constitution
Individual Liberty:
We believe that all Liberians and all Nationals within the territorial confines of Liberia are entitled to their individual liberties. We endeavor to uphold and protect the fundamental rights of all Liberians. Because of our recent experience with the tampering of rights, we propose the establishment of governmental supervisory bodies that serve to oversee and report on progress being made in safeguarding the rights of all Liberians
Punishing Crime:
We believe in the punishment of all crime, provided that the criminally accused have full access to legal representation and enjoy the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
We adhere to Habeas Corpus contained in our constitution which guarantees that no Liberian or Foreign national within our borders shall be arrested and detained for not more than 48 hours with out being charged.
Freedom of Communication:
We believe everyone including media institutions and organizations have the right to freely express and communicate personal thoughts without fear and intimidation. All access to information by the public shall not be suppressed.
Religious Freedom:
We believe that every individual shall have the right to worship, assemble and practice their religious beliefs without any form of harassment and or more molestation. We greatly encourage religious diversity in the service of government and will oppose all forms of discrimination based on religion.
Women Rights:
We will continue to implement the women rights in every area. We will support increasing both the number and quality of women who serve in governmental positions.
Children & Adolescence Rights:
We believe that every child and adolescence have the right to education, healthcare and safe environment. We oppose all forms of child labor and child abuse and shall monitor violations of child rights. We support strengthening the appropriate governmental agency dealing with children and adolescence issues.
Violence and Coup d'etat:
We oppose all forms of violence and will oppose any government that comes to power by coup d'etat.
We believe violent overthrow of government abridges the rights of the Liberian people and subjects them to the will of those who plan and execute military coups. The CDC will advocate that any such government not be recognized by the international community as a legitimate government of Liberia.
Right to Privacy:
We believe that all Liberians and foreign nationals within our borders have the right to privacy.
Union Rights:
We shall encourage union and protect their rights..
