I'm not sure if this could be a "declaration of good faith" or perhaps a "declaration of intent (???)" in this context
This is from a "call for candidacies" to elect representatives for an Employee Shareholding fund.
A peine d’irrecevabilité, chaque candidat doit mentionner :
- le nom, prénom, l’identifiant (N° insee, matricule), le nom de la société,
- la profession de foi dans la langue du candidat et en anglais
- la dénomination du compartiment auquel sa candidature se rapporte.
Thanks for any insights!

statement of intent
Maybe this could work.
on appelle professions de foi les documents réalisés par les candidats, qui y détaillent leurs programmes politiques, et envoyés à tous les électeurs avant une élection, accompagnés des bulletins de vote. Elles sont au préalable validées par une Commission qui vérifie leurs conformités avec la loi.
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obéissance_de_foi
So it is a statement of what policies they intend to pursue.

Sorry, I've just read your question properly :) - your 'declaration of intent' seems fine.

article of faith
De même que dans les instruments internationaux précités, il nous semble cependant que la dignité humaine apparaît dans les ordres juridiques nationaux surtout comme une profession de foi à caractère général ou en tant que principe constitutionnel ou principe fondamental ou encore principe d’évaluation – souvent dégagé par la jurisprudence – mais non comme norme autonome susceptible d’être invoquée en justice
As in the aforementioned instruments of international law, however, human dignity seems to appear in the national legal systems of the Member States primarily as a general article of faith or – often in the case-law – as a fundamental, evaluation or constitutional principle, rather than as an independent justiciable rule of law.
