To achieve sustainable peace, one that truly lasts and endures , it must be based not only on nurturing a culture of tolerance, dialogue, solidarity and mutual understanding but also on a culture of prevention. Sustainable peace requires not only political will from all sides but also the collective efforts of the international community, civil society and fundamentally, religious leaders. We need to expand the space for dialogue to encompass local and regional leaders and other actors who have a voice and influence within their respective communities. As such, all of the world’s major religions bear shared commitments to building peace and emphasizing the oneness of humanity to standing on the side of the marginalized, and working to resolve conflicts.
