- Tuesday, September 2, 2008
I am proud to address on behalf of the Sikhs the distinguished religious leaders and guests at this esteemed forum. This is the place which always feels the pulse of the world and is keeping an eye on its developments. It also notices when justice is done or injustice is done, and similarly, when human rights and values are respected or violated.

J. Ohayon: Jewish Perspectives on Human Rights
- Tuesday, September 2, 2008
It is easy to love oneself, to be proud of one’s nation, to support one’s people, sometimes blindly. On the other hand, it is much more challenging to respect an individual with another culture and another story. We should start right now knowing each other, listening to each other.

Nachef: On Catholicism - Interfaith Youth Forum in Geneva
- Tuesday, September 2, 2008
We are convinced that religion, which is an expression of the relationship between God and human beings, cannot and must not ever fuel conflicts among people. On the contrary, it should be a source of respect and openness to welcome the other person in his or her deepest identity, which is as a worthy, free, and responsible human being.

W. Fautré: European Perspectives on Interfaith Cooperation for Peace and Human Rights
- Monday, September 1, 2008
My conception is that freedom of religion is indivisible, and therefore I decided to start working as a volunteer for Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox organizations. There were difficult debates inside the concerned faith-based organizations before they decided to co-organize common defense actions. They were then probably less convinced by the concept of indivisibility of religious freedom than by the necessity to unite their efforts so that their voices could be better heard.

H. Chirzin: Interfaith Council for Peace, Human Rights, and Integrity
- Thursday, August 28, 2008
In the age of globalized human community and a shrinking world, interfaith dialogue and cooperation is no longer just a commendable endeavor but a historical necessity. The faith community now has to move the agenda from interreligious tolerance to understanding, acceptance, respect, celebration, and action.
