World Peace
Confront hostility

Hillel says: “Be among the disciples of Aaron, loving peace and pursuing peace…” (Ethics of the Fathers 1:12)

I call on religious communities, religious leaders and people of faith to confront hostility . . . to reaffirm our common humanity, and to pave the way for greater tolerance in solidarity among all groups . . . together, we can realise the enormous potential of religions to foster true peace (Ban Ki-Moon UN Secretary General Religions For Peace World Assembly, 2013)
