Global Council for Tolerance and Peace marks International Day of Living Together in Peace

Ahmed Al Jarwan highlights the need for global efforts to promote peace and tolerance on the International Day of Living Together in Peace.

"The International Day of Living Together in Peace serves as a reminder of our shared responsibility to build a more just and tolerant world. – Ahmed Al Jarwan"

Abu Dhabi, May 15

The Global Council for Tolerance and Peace has marked the International Day of Living Together in Peace, observed annually on 16th May following its designation by the United Nations General Assembly in 2017.

Ahmed bin Mohamed Al Jarwan, President of the Global Council for Tolerance and Peace, underscored the importance of promoting a culture of coexistence and mutual understanding among peoples, calling for intensified global efforts to build peaceful and tolerant societies.

Al Jarwan stated that the International Day of Living Together in Peace serves as a reminder of the shared responsibility to build a more just and tolerant world. He described it as a renewed call to reject hate speech and extremism, foster dialogue and solidarity, and uphold respect for cultural and religious diversity.

He noted the growing global movement reflected in high-level visits and international dialogue, signalling heightened international interest in strengthening peace, security, and coexistence

He emphasised that the current situation in the Palestinian territories urgently requires the implementation of relevant international resolutions and the upholding of peoples' right to live in dignity and peace--an objective strongly supported by the Council.

Al Jarwan affirmed that the Global Council for Tolerance and Peace, through its international parliament and partnerships with institutions around the world, will continue to support initiatives that promote a culture of peace, particularly in regions affected by conflict or social division.

He also reiterated the Council's commitment to its humanitarian mission through support for educational and awareness programmes, parliamentary and diplomatic engagement, and initiatives that promote intercultural dialogue and lay the foundation for sustainable peace. (ANI/WAM)

This is such a noble initiative! As Indians, we understand the value of peaceful coexistence better than anyone - our country is living proof of unity in diversity. Hope this council can help resolve conflicts globally like we've managed at home. 🙏

While the intentions are good, I wonder how effective such councils can be when major powers continue to support conflicts. India has always believed in 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' (world is one family) but peace needs action, not just words.

The mention of Palestine is important. India has historically supported Palestinian rights while maintaining relations with Israel. This balanced approach is what the world needs more of - understanding both sides rather than taking extreme positions.

Tolerance is good but shouldn't mean accepting everything blindly. As Indians we know some neighbors don't reciprocate our peaceful gestures. Real peace needs strong borders AND open hearts - both are equally important.

Education is key! In India we learn about all religions in school. More countries should adopt this approach. The council's focus on educational programs is spot on - change begins with young minds. 👏

While I appreciate the sentiment, I hope this council also addresses the growing intolerance in some Gulf countries towards migrant workers, including many Indians. Peace should begin at home before preaching globally.
