The Founding Charter (Constitution) of Czech Blind United adopted by the Founding General Assembly was registered with the appropriate government authority on July 3, 1996; thus, the organization has been officially recognized.
The motto of Czech Blind United says: "We are not an organization deciding and acting on behalf of the blind; we are blind citizens deciding and acting for ourselves. We act on the following principles: self-reliance, partnership, solidarity, respect for human dignity, freedom of choice, common sense."
Being the officially recognized successor of all nation-wide organizations of the blind of this country (Article I., Section G. of the Constitution),Czech Blind United "shall represent the Czech blind in the European Blind Union and the World Blind Union as a national member of the respective international organizations." (Article I., Section E. of the Constitution).
