The Commonwealth of Nations,, is an intergovernmental organization of fifty-five independent member states. The Commonwealth was first officially formed in 1931.
The member states co-operate within a framework of common values and goals as outlined in the Singapore Declaration.
These include the promotion of democracy, human rights, good governance, the rule of law, individual liberty, egalitarianism, free trade, multilateralism and world peace.
The symbol of their free association is the Head of the Commonwealth, which is a ceremonial position currently held by Queen Elizabeth II.
Some members; United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Jamaica...
These countries have in common are all former colonies of the British Empire.
