Dialogue & Alliance: Religion, Peace and Sustainable Development
Written by UPF International
Friday, March 11, 2016
New York, USA—The latest issue of Dialogue & Alliance, a journal of UPF, is now available online. The theme of this issue is “Religion, Peace and Sustainable Development”
The articles featured in this issue of Dialogue and Alliance are an outgrowth of the 3rd World Summit on “Peace, Security and Human Development” which was convened on August 27 to 31, 2015, in Seoul, Korea, co-sponsored by the Universal Peace Federation (UPF), an NGO in Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and the Sunhak Peace Prize Committee, established to award individuals or organizations that have made significant contributions toward a sustainable and lasting peace.
Among the major topics addressed was the role of religion in promoting peace, security and human development. Religions and faith-based organizations and NGOs have an important role to play in peacemaking and resolving conflict. The three Abrahamic faiths, along with the Indian and East Asian religions, promote tolerance, coexistence and peacemaking. Past examples of mediation by religious leaders include: the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, Pope John Paul II’s interventions in Lebanon, Poland and Haiti; Buddhist leaders in Cambodia; and the churches and synagogues that were mobilized a generation ago over the situations in Biafra and Darfur. Track II diplomacy, which emphasizes “soft power” solutions, offers a viable complement to the use of “hard power” (political, economic, military) to sustain lasting peace.
