FN-alliance for samarbejde mellem civilisationer vedtager særlig erklæring på stort møde i Wien om at arbejde for større respekt mellem folkeslagene på tværs af divergerende tankesæt, kulturer og religiøse skel.
VIENNA, 28 February 2013 (UN News Service): Governments and international organizations from around the world reaffirmed their commitment to advance cross-cultural dialogue at the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations Forum, which ended Thursday in Vienna, Austria.
The commitment was reaffirmed through the Vienna Declaration, in which participants recognized the importance of increasing cooperation among countries, promoting greater respect among civilizations, cultures and religions, and establishing collaborative (samarbejds) links among governments, the private sector, civil society and the media.
The Declaration is the result of two days of discussions attended by more than 2.000 people from around the world.
During the forum, heads of State and foreign ministers also met separately to discuss pressing global issues such as Syria, Mali, the Middle East peace process and the future of sustainable development.
Launched in 2005 through the initiative of Spain and Turkey, and under the auspices of the UN, the Alliance seeks to promote better cross-cultural relations worldwide.
The theme for this year’s forum, which comprised decision-makers, experts, and a variety of stakeholders in the field of intercultural and interreligious dialogue, was ‘Responsible Leadership in Diversity and Dialogue.’
