...an international platform for cellists of all ages - professional and amateur players alike - who treasure the cello and desire to contribute to furthering its appreciation.

...a resource centre catering for the needs of the worldwide cello community.

...a non-profit organisation; all cellists and cello organisations shall be invited to take part in devising and developing this platform.

...a cooperative venture between established international organisations and institutions to assist in building a comprehensive source of cello information on the internet.
Pablo Casals' words "Art and humanity are inseparable" shall be used to define the WCO's guiding spirit.
