All organs of the SPLM shall work towards the promotion of unity in the Movement and bringing about national unity, peace and stability in the liberated areas. The SPLM shall make all necessary efforts to reach all the people of New Sudan everywhere to achieve their unity and rally them around the vision and objectives of the SPLM.

The SPLM shall make every effort to integrate the people of New Sudan into a united political entity, while at the same time recognizing the existence of their ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity as well as their individual rights and freedoms, including freedom of opinion and conscience. Within this unity in diversity, the SPLM shall do everything necessary to promote a culture of peace, cooperation, understanding, appreciation, tolerance and respect for each other's customs, traditions, beliefs and basic human rights.

Establishment and consolidation of unity must be based on full respect for the civil rights of the individual and justice and equality to all the people of the New Sudan, and these must be reflected in the laws and practices of the SPLM. Individual rights and freedoms must be strictly observed and protected by the laws of the New Sudan. It is by putting the individual in the center of the Movement that greater unity can best be achieved and guaranteed.

The SPLM shall intensify political work among the people of the New Sudan and within the SPLA so that there is unity between the people and their liberation army, to strengthen confidence and unity between the people and the SPLA.

The SPLM shall invest considerable efforts and involve the local communities to stop cattle raiding and inter-tribal and inter-sectional feuds and warfare. These conflicts and practices seriously sap on unity of the Movement and on forging together of a nation. In this connection, the Movement shall establish and nurture institutions and procedures for the resolution of conflicts fairly and peacefully, and involving the people themselves through the Liberation Councils and other structures of civil society. In this way the SPLM shall provide a peaceful, secure and stable environment, which is necessary for economic development of the New Sudan.

The maintenance of law and order, peace and security is a fundamental task of the Boma and Payam Liberation Councils, because if there is peace, security and stability at these grass-roots levels, then there will be greater peace, security and stability in the whole society.
