SUMMARY:World Interfaith Harmony Week
DESCRIPTION:Uniting for peace\nWorld Interfaith Harmony Week is an annual event observed during the first week of February\, since the General Assembly designation in 2010. The General Assembly pointed out that mutual understanding and interreligious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of peace and established World Interfaith Harmony Week as a way to promote harmony between all people regardless of their faith. \nRecognizing the imperative need for dialogue among different faiths and religions to enhance mutual understanding\, harmony and cooperation among people\, the General Assembly encourages all States to spread the message of interfaith harmony and goodwill in the world’s churches\, mosques\, synagogues\, temples and other places of worship during that week\, on a voluntary basis and according to their own religious traditions or convictions. \nOrigin and history\nWorld Interfaith Harmony Week (WIHW)\, conceived to promote a culture peace and nonviolence\, was first proposed by King Abdullah II of Jordan at the United Nations in 2010. This was quickly adopted by the UN General Assembly (resolution A/RES/65/5)\, declaring the first week of February each year as World Interfaith Harmony week\, calling on governments\, institutions and civil society to observe it with various programs and initiatives that would promote the aim of the WIHW objectives. \nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.

SUMMARY:International Day of Human Fraternity
DESCRIPTION:Human fraternity for peace and cooperation\nWe need — perhaps more than ever before — to recognize the valuable contribution of people of all religions\, or beliefs\, to humanity and the contribution that dialogue among all religious groups can make towards an improved awareness and understanding of the common values shared by all humankind. \nWe also need to underline the importance of raising awareness about different cultures and religions\, or beliefs\, and the promotion of tolerance\, which involves societal acceptance and respect for religious and cultural diversity\, including with regard to religious expression. Education\, in particular at school\, should contribute in a meaningful way to promoting tolerance and the elimination of discrimination based on religion or belief. \nFurthermore\, we must acknowledge that  tolerance\,  pluralistic  tradition\,  mutual  respect  and  the diversity of religions and beliefs promote human fraternity. Thus\, it is imperative that we encourage activities  aimed  at  promoting  interreligious  and  intercultural dialogue in  order to  enhance peace  and social  stability\,  respect for  diversity and mutual respect and to create\, at the global level\, and also at the regional\, national and local levels\, an environment conducive to peace and mutual understanding. \nWithin that frame\, the General-Assembly took note of  all  international\,  regional\,  national  and  local  initiatives\,  as appropriate\,  as  well as  efforts  by religious leaders\, to promote interreligious and intercultural dialogue\, and in this regard took note also of the meeting between Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar\, Ahmad al-Tayyib\, on 4 February 2019 in Abu Dhabi\, which resulted in the signing of the document entitled “Human fraternity for world peace and living together”. \n\n\nBackground\nFollowing the devastation of the Second World War\, the United Nations was established to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war. One of its purposes is to achieve international cooperation in solving international problems\, including by promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race\, sex\, language or religion. \nIn 1999\, The General-Assembly adopted\, by resolution 53/243\, the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace\, which serves as the universal mandate for the international community\, particularly the United Nations system\, to promote a culture of peace and non-violence that benefits all of humanity\, including future generations. \nThe declaration came about as a result of the long-held and cherished concept — contained within the Constitution of UNESCO — that “since wars begin in the minds of men\, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed.” The Declaration embraces the principle that peace is not merely the absence of conflict\, but also requires a positive\, dynamic participatory process\, in which dialogue is encouraged and conflicts are resolved in a spirit of mutual understanding and cooperation. \nOn 20 October 2010\, the General Assembly in resolution A/RES/65/5 pointed out that mutual understanding and interreligious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of peace and established World Interfaith Harmony Week as a way to promote harmony between all people regardless of their faith. It further recognized the imperative need for dialogue among different faiths and religions to enhance mutual understanding\, harmony and cooperation among people. \nAt the core of all the faith systems and traditions is the recognition that we are all in this together and that we need to love and support one another to live in harmony and peace in an environmentally sustainable world. Our world continues to be beset by conflict and intolerance with rising number of refugees and the internally displaced in a hostile and unwelcoming world around them. We are also\, unfortunately\, witnessing messages of hate spreading discord among people. The need for spiritual guidance has never been greater. It is imperative that we double our efforts to spread the message of good neighborliness based on our common humanity\, a message shared by all faith traditions. \nThe United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 4 February as the International Day of Human Fraternity\, with resolution 75/200. \n\n\n\n\nWhat is the Culture of Peace?\nA culture of peace is a set of values\, attitudes\, traditions and modes of behaviour and ways of life based on: \n\n\nRespect for life\, ending of violence and promotion and practice of non-violence through education\, dialogue and cooperation;\nFull respect for the principles of sovereignty\, territorial integrity and political independence of States and non-intervention in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any State\, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and international law;\nFull respect for and promotion of all human rights and fundamental freedoms;\nCommitment to peaceful settlement of conflicts;\nEfforts to meet the developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations;\nRespect for and promotion of the right to development; Respect for and promotion of equal rights and opportunities for women and men;\nRespect for and promotion of the right of everyone to freedom of expression\, opinion and information;\nAdherence to the principles of freedom\, justice\, democracy\, tolerance\, solidarity\, cooperation\, pluralism\, cultural diversity\, dialogue and understanding at all levels of society and among nations; and fostered by an enabling national and international environment conducive to peace.\n\n\n\n\nESG News Editorial TeamThe ESG News Editorial Team is comprised of veteran financial journalists and sustainability analysts dedicated to providing real-time\, objective reporting on global ESG regulations\, climate finance\, and corporate governance.
