A brief but quite informative video about this powerful conglomeration. Thank you very much.

Good summary as to what the Commonwealth and the Commonwealth Charter is about. Commonwealth values empower all member nations to be the best versions of themselves and make a positive leadership impact by sharing the same common values.

A great organisation, helps to promote peace and democracy throughout the world.

Got to love the idea of the British telling people about human rights while failing to fully acknowledge the devastation they have caused. Their redrawing of political borders with no concern for the local political boundaries still plagues the globe.

In my humble opinion, the United States of America and its colonies and its former colonies like Palau and the Philippines should join the Commonwealth of Nations to make them stronger.

Shouldn't it be called
'Very few Wealth' instead...

What benefits do common wealth countries have? I do not see this in the video.. do they benefit financially in anyway? Or is it just the old colonial powers still clinging on to influence the past..
