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."

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.
