UNAOC Launches Global Call to Action #forSafeWorship
The global call to action #forSafeWorship aims to create personal, emotional connections with religious sites. It celebrates the universality of religious sites as symbols of our shared humanity, history, and traditions of people worldwide. It emphasizes the need to safeguard religious sites and underscores the role of individuals in protecting all sacred sites, regardless of religions or beliefs.

Solidarity in the face of COVID-19
"This is a time for solidarity, not divisiveness. Compassion, not xenophobia. Kindness not hatred. As #OneHumanity, we can fight the #COVID19 pandemic."
Mr. Miguel Ángel Moratinos
UNAOC High Representative
A Call for Mutual Respect
Mr. Miguel Moratinos, High Representative for UNAOC, issued a Call for Mutual Respect of all religions and beliefs and for fostering a culture of fraternity and peace. The text re-affirms that acts of violence should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilization, or ethnic group and that violence should never be a justifiable or acceptable response to acts of intolerance on the basis of religion or belief.
A Joint call for Solidarity, Compassion and Unity
In this time of physical distancing, we call for social solidarity and building bridges of kindness and compassion that transcend man-made walls. We also call for the protection of the most vulnerable, including the elderly, who are bearing the brunt of the pandemic.
