Religions for Peace joined the discussion about religion, diplomacy, and conflicts on 17 February at the 59th Munich Security Conference.
“The test of commitment of religious institutions to peace and security globally, is their willingness to collaborate with and for all human rights,” stated Secretary General of Religions for Peace, Professor Azza Karam. This is a seminal moment toward ensuring that multi-religious and faith leaders are at the forefront of discussions around peace and security.
