M. Wibisono: Address to Participants in Interfaith Youth Forums

Tuesday, September 02, 2008
Written by: Ambassador Makarim Wibisono, Presisdent, Geneva Interfaith Intercultural Alliance


During my many years of involvement in political and diplomatic affairs, I was constantly reminded that the economic, social, political problems that we are addressing are the results of much deeper and more internal needs. If those aspects are not understood or dealt with, the solutions that we propose will not reach their desired goal. Conflicts do not end when peace treaties are signed. It is only when each individuals and communities feels safe, appreciated and “at inner peace.”

P. Zoehrer: The Role of Religion in Protecting Human Rights and Dignity

Tuesday, September 02, 2008
Written by: Peter Zoehrer, Secretary General, Forum for Religious Freedom - Europe

As H.E. Ambassador Makarim Wibisono has correctly stated: "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights has largely been drafted by experts of religion." Religion has always played a central role in the protection of human rights and especially in the promotion of human dignity.

D. Pimzi: Christian Perspectives on Human Rights

Tuesday, September 02, 2008
Written by: Dorcas Pimzi

In the Christian churches, when the theme of peace in the world is addressed, the tendency is to deal only with the question of how to apply the work of Christ to the people’s present lives. Although the Bible shows that God’s work extends to the whole of humanity, peace tends to be limited to a few privileged countries on a few continents.

I am proud to address on behalf of the Sikhs the distinguished religious leaders and guests at this esteemed forum.

J. Ohayon: Jewish Perspectives on Human Rights

Tuesday, September 02, 2008
Written by: Johana Ohayon

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 02, 2008
Written by: Emmanuel Nachef
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 01, 2008
Written by: Willy Fautré, Director, Human Rights Without Frontiers
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.
