Out of concern for maintaining total neutrality of action, the Hommes de Parole Foundation has developed a policy, or network, of partnership that allies engagement, diversity and complementarity.
This network provides funding and/or expertise: foundations that bring in financial support and expertise in matters of dialogue between cultures, businesses that contribute theur strength of action through economic channels, associations that put their know-how, including their political dimension as representatives of the civil society, at the service of peace.
Religious dignitaries, Imams and Rabbis, together with Christians and other religious experts from around the world met at the Third World Congress of Imams and Rabbis for Peace to determine ways to defend the sacred character of peace, together, and to commit themselves, as of now, to implementing all possible measures, within a religious context, to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Congress was held in Paris from 15 to 17 December 2008, under the patronage of UNESCO and with the support of His Excellency Maitre Abdoulaye Wade, President of Senegal and Chairman of the 11th Session of the Islamic Summit Conference.
First and foremost, the Imams and Rabbis, joined by the Christians, hereby reiterate their commitment to denouncing and condemning henceforth, ceaselessly and publicly, all forms of violence, terror, and individual and collective injustice committed in the name of God and/or their respective religions or Holy Scriptures.
They also reiterate their determination to be active custodians of the Sacredness of Peace.
