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.
