These goals are made possible through a number of projects such as the Commonwealth Games that take place once every four years. Some of the common goals for these nations include good governance, promoting human rights, advocating for global peace, promoting democracy, and many other things.
Within the Commonwealth, all the countries are regarded as equals and share common goals as per the 1971 Singapore Declaration and other agreements. As things stand, the United States is not a member of the Commonwealth although it eligible to join and has expressed interest in the past. Originally, the countries that made up the Commonwealth included the United Kingdom, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, Australia, Newfoundland, and the Irish Free State. As the Queen of the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth II is the Head of the Commonwealth although that role does not give her any special powers. Almost all of the states were once colonies of Britain or had some relation to British colonies.
Also known simply as the Commonwealth, the Commonwealth of Nations refers to an association that consists of 53 states from all over the world.
