TESTIMONIALS

“The purpose of this organization is to form the community within a Culture of Lawfulness”

Joel Hernandez

“When talking about the Culture of Lawfulness, it is a two way street effort: rights and obligations”

Luis Maizel

“American democracy will work and reform will prove possible only if obligations join rights at center stage”

Richard Haass

"A way to adapt in to a new society is to understand how to navigate the system”

Marcela Celorio

“Most of us obey the law due to the fear to be punished or deported, but to obey is more than that, it is to understand the values of a society”

Marcela Celorio

“Norms are the unwritten traditions, rules, customs, conventions, codes of conduct, and practices that reduce friction and brittleness in a society”

Richard Haass

“It is not enough to talk about human rights without emphasizing human duties… Rights without duties lead to lawlessness, even as duties without rights can lead to slavery and to abasement of individuality”

Max Arzt

“This is finally the purpose of this proposal: to help us become aware that our human condition happens, certainly, with the full ownership of the rights we have admitted as inherent to all human beings, but also by the acceptance of duties, obligations and responsibilities towards ourselves and towards others”

Universal Charter of Duties and Obligations of the Individuals, 2017.

“A Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proposed and so we thought we had it all, without realizing that no right can exist without symmetry of the duties incumbent on it. The first duty will be to demand that such rights are not only recognized but also respected and satisfied…. With the same vehemence and the same force with which we claim our rights, also we shall vindicate the duty of our duties…”

Jose Saramago

"Polidore is dedicated to empowering immigrants with clear, truthful guidance to navigate the U.S. system. Our commitment lies in making knowledge accessible, ensuring every individual has the complete story and the right tools to realize their potential in a new environment"

Marcela Celorio

"View the migrant not as a singular archetype of vulnerability but as a bearer of diverse possibilities, each with the potential to enrich and invigorate their new communities."

Luis Escala, Colegio de la Frontera Norte

“…But there is one way in this country in which all men are created equal — there is one human institution that makes a pauper the equal of a Rockefeller, the stupid man the equal of an Einstein, and the ignorant man the equal of any college president. That institution … is a court. It can be the Supreme Court of the United States or the humblest J.P. court in the land, or this honorable court which you serve. Our courts have their faults, as does any human institution, but in this country our courts are the great levelers, and in our courts all men are created equal”.

Harper Lee

"Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace."

Benito Juárez
