Thanks to its active neutrality, the Hommes de Parole Foundation is able to bring together personalities and groups considered irreparably antagonistic.
Congresses initiated by the Foundation have taken on a unique character : antagonists have a space where they feel free to speak, where they feel at ease to express their point of view, their disagreement, without taboos, a confident environment where they know they can listen and be heard with reciprocal respect.
This unique context promotes the emergence of the will to enforce dialogue leading to common solutions chosen by the parties themselves. The Israeli-Palestinian Congress of Caux, which took place from 23 to 26 June 2003, was the starting point for the World Congress of Imams and Rabbis for Peace.
