Bahá’u’lláh’s statement is: “The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.” The concept of world citizenship is a direct result of the contraction of the world into a single neighborhood through scientific advances and of the indisputable interdependence of nations.

The advantage of the part in a world society is best served by promoting the advantage of the whole. preview.bahai.org/library/authoritative-texts/the-universal-house-of-justice/messages/#d=19851001_001&f=f1-36
