Who are we ?

The World Congress of Imams and Rabbis for Peace is a project launched by the Swiss Hommes de Parole Foundation, based in Geneva. This initiative stems from the ascertainment that many conflicts throughout the world are being "justified" by religion. Religious leaders, thus, more than ever before, must commit themselves to peace.
The Hommes de Parole Foundation, whose goal is to work on the causes of conflicts, are providing the spiritual leaders with an absolutely neutral environment where they can meet, hold discussions and initiate necessary actions.
CONVOY FOR PEACE: SDEROT – GAZA

The Third Congress of Imams and Rabbis for Peace, held at Unesco headquarters in Paris, from 15 to 17 December last, focused on the Israel-Palestine confict and was entitled "The Sacredness of Peace". Following the Congress, a final declaration was issued, together with an action plan that formally engaged the participants to work in depth and tangibly for peace.
The participants, thus, were impelled to react to the spiral of violence in Gaza and the south of Israel where violent clashes are taking place with, alas, the main victims being civilians.
Further to the commitment made by the spiritual leaders during the Congress and further to the increasing violence, the decision was taken that a "Convoy for Peace" would be organised, together with other partners.
