WHAT WE DO
- Wednesday, November 5, 2014
INTERFAITH PEACEBUILDING
|
INTERFAITH PROGRAMS On local, national, and global levels, interreligious councils provide a platform for people of diverse faiths to contribute their wisdom and work effectively for peace alongside representatives of government, business, and civil society. |
|
PEACE AND SECURITY
A REALISTIC APPROACH UPF acknowledges the need for careful and measurable use of enforcement such as political, military, and civil power to sustain lasting peace. At the same time we strongly emphasize the pursuit of internal solutions that are essential to peacebuilding. UPF has been a leading exponent of “track two” diplomacy, with particular emphasis on the role and responsibility of religious and spiritual leaders to transcend historical self-interest and pursue the ideal of “One family under God.” |

MARRIAGE AND FAMILY

EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN Women can bring vital feminine perspectives to the peace process. UPF supports UN Security Council Resolution 1325, which calls for increasing involvement of women in preventing and resolving conflicts, peace negotiations, peacebuilding, and post-conflict reconstruction. Furthermore, the majority of the poor people of the world are women and children, and global poverty cannot be solved without the empowerment of women and the leadership of women.
