politicians, diplomats, interreligious figures, academics and civil society representatives, and with
regional and international institutional presence.
It would be a great honor also to be able to cooperate with other UN delegations in projects of
social awareness, -education and training, lectures, interreligious dialogue, which can contribute to
harmony,. peace and security in our world. We hope that in this way we can come together to the
efforts of United Nations for human rights and peace in our world. So we think IADRL may have a
positive influence on the prevention of conflicts and contribute to eradicate religious hatred, and
tensions between people belonging to different religions, churches or beliefs. Thus, peace and
reconciliation could have a more stable place M. our world.
