What you do not wish done to yourself, do not do to others

From the Manifesto of United Nations - Global Economic Ethic: Consequences for Global Business.

Article 4 writes:

What you do not wish done to yourself, do not do to others.

This Golden Rule of reciprocity, which for thousands of years has been acknowledged in all religious and humanist traditions, promotes mutual responsibility, solidarity, fairness, tolerance, and respect for all persons involved.
Such attitudes or virtues are the basic pillars of a global economic ethos. Fairness in competition and cooperation for mutual benefit are fundamental principles of a sustainably developing global economy that is in conformity with the Golden Rule.
