F. al-Jama'ni: A New Vision of Peace in the 21st Century
- Monday, June 1, 2009
I want to ask Ambassadors for Peace of the UPF to help make the Middle East a safer place to live. Ambassadors for Peace should work to build a global movement for peace for the sake of others.

R. Lumengo: In Public Life as a Man of Faith
- Monday, June 1, 2009
For most people, social and political action shouldn’t be linked to religion. This seems to be very different in Africa or America, where politicians can freely affirm their religious convictions.

A. Sajid: Islam, UN Renewal, and Peace

R. Huseynov: Renewal of the United Nations and Peace
- Monday, June 1, 2009
UPF is to become the blueprint of a new type of United Nations that unites the efforts of political, social, and religious leaders in order to solve the problems of the globe. This is a radical vision. Obviously, such a vision is necessary in our days in order to transform the world of conflicts, suffering, and poverty into a world of stable development and well being.

B. Boutros-Ghali: United Nations Renewal
- Saturday, May 23, 2009
Does one need a catastrophe such as World War I or World War II? Or a third catastrophe, such as the Cold War? Or a fourth catastrophe, which we are experiencing in this moment, which is the economic crisis, to incite us to reform the outdated and anachronistic international institutions?

A.I. Sow: Families Are Foundations of a Healthy Society
- Monday, May 18, 2009
The breakdown of the family, or threats to the family from any direction, is in fact a menace to society as a whole. This is certainly the case in my own nation of Guinea, but I believe it is equally true for all the countries represented here at the United Nations.
-
A.A. Mohamad: The Family as the Foundation of Society
- Monday, May 18, 2009
Marriage is noble and sacred, a social contract that confers mutual obligations on the couple and society. The progress and welfare of society, or its breakdown, can be traced to the strengths and unity, or the lack of it, in the family. This also applies to civilization.
-
N. Al Nasser: Qatar's Support for Family Policy Issues
- Monday, May 18, 2009
The state of Qatar has been an important actor in strengthening the family as the basic unit of society. For example, we hosted the Doha International Conference on the Family in 2004 and the subsequent adoption of the Doha Declaration on the Family.
-
D. Chopra: Let the World Be Our Family
- Monday, May 18, 2009
As we breathe in and out, do you see that we are sharing the same breath? We are not only members of one breath, we are not only members of one energy field, we are not only members of an emotional field, we are one consciousness that has differentiated into all these consciousnesses.
-
H. Al-Bayati: Women and Family
- Monday, May 18, 2009
The family is a haven of intimacy, love, and trust, providing fulfillment. The mother provides a nurturing atmosphere to raise children as long as there is love, “quality time” spent with children, emotional support, and a stable economic environment.
-
T. Walsh: Building One Family Under God, One Family at a Time
- Monday, May 18, 2009
There is no more important task that to work to strengthen the family, the institution whereby we not only reproduce the human species but educate, nurture, and train the members of our species to be truly human, that is, beings who aspire to and achieve the highest levels of moral, spiritual, and professional excellence.
