The Alliance of Civilizations was created as the special initiative of the United Nations Secretary-General\, Mr. Kofi Annan\, who launched it in 2005 at a time when the United Nations recognized an urgent need to fill a policy gap in the governance of cultural and religious diversity\, which was threatened by growing divisions between communities and polarization of attitudes triggering the rise of violent extremism\, terrorist attacks and the exacerbation of frequent manifestations of intolerance\, xenophobia and racism. \nEven before the COVID-19 pandemic unraveled\, there was a strong push-back on cultural diversity\, religious pluralism and human rights. Rightly described as a global human crisis\, the pandemic threw under a magnifying lens critical issues that lingered on and metastasized over the years. It laid bare entrenched inequalities and fractures. Societies are divided across cultural\, ethnic and religious lines. We see it in the resurgence of Neo-Nazis organizations and anti-Semitism. Manifestations of hate speech\, racism\, xenophobia\, and all forms of discrimination against vulnerable communities continue\, leading to a vicious circle of extreme violence and terrorist attacks. Youth and women were further marginalized depriving communities of significant potential sources of resilience. \nCoincidentally as we mark the 15th anniversary of UNAOC\, the international community also celebrates this year the United Nations at 75. It is worth recalling that the existing multilateral governance structures emerged from a devastating global war and the world-wide depression and a pandemic that preceded it. Only events of such global consequence could generate the solidarity\, resolve and vision necessary to create those structures. \nEvents as such remind us of our common fragility and our interconnected fate. If a neighbor\, family member\, friend\, or country is not safe\, none of us is safe. History taught us that our well-being and safety are linked to what happens to our neighbor. There is no alternative to standing together in unity and solidarity in cohesive and equitable societies. Fulfilling Goal 16 “Promote just\, peaceful and inclusive societies” of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is more imperative now than ever before. It is the raison d’être of UNAOC. \nThe current dark moment in the history of humanity also presents a rare opportunity to emerge from this pandemic closer delivering as one. After all\, sustaining peaceful\, inclusive and just societies requires an integrated and coherent approach through strong collaboration across the different sectors in any society. \nIn this context\, the overarching theme of the opening plenary session of the annual high-Level meeting of the UNAOC Group of Friends “Shaping a Better World: Building Cohesive and Inclusive Societies in a Challenging COVID-19 Environment” will serve as an occasion to mark the 15th anniversary of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations and take stock of what has been accomplished. It will be also an opportunity to present to the Group of Friends\, which has grown to 124 member states of the United Nations\, along with 27 international inter-governmental organizations and 1 non-member state\, the progress made by the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations since September 2019 across the different pillars. The High Representative will also present the new initiatives launched in the areas of prevention and mediation\, as well as the new actions taken to address challenges posed by the global pandemic of the coronavirus in 2020. \nThe opening plenary of the meeting will provide the Group of Friends with the space to express their views regarding these underlying questions: What future do we want for our societies\, and how do we get there? What can the UNAOC Group of Friends do to support UNAOC in its endeavors? \nThe opening segment will start at 09:00AM (EDT) and conclude by 11:30AM (EDT). It will be followed by 2 interactive webinars\, each for 90 minutes\, focusing on: 1) “An Intergenerational Conversation: The Future They Want”\, and 2) “Racism\, Xenophobia and Discrimination: The Tearing of Our Societies”.

The Security Council and the General Assembly view this approach as “both a goal and a process to build a common vision of a society\, ensuring that the needs of all segments of the population are taken into account”. This past April\, the Secretary-General addressed the General Assembly on the issue of peacebuilding and said\, “we need a holistic approach which prioritizes prevention and addresses the root causes of conflict by integrating peace\, sustainable development and human rights”.

Both resolutions recognized sustaining peace as “both a goal and a process to build a common vision of a society\, ensuring that the needs of all segments of the population are taken into account”. Moreover\, the constantly evolving and multi-faceted nature of contemporary violent extremism underlines the need to address the root causes of this phenomenon. The sustaining peace agenda is well-positioned to recalibrate responses to violent extremism through engaging actors within and outside the UN system. \nThe commitment to prevention has become central to the UN system response to the threat of terrorism. The Secretary-General’s Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism in 2016 was specifically designed to enhance implementation of the UN Counter-Terrorism Strategy cross all four pillars\, including Pillar on “Addressing the Conditions Conducive to the Spread of Terrorism” by drawing on the experience and strengths of all parts of the UN system in order to support Governments and societies in achieving their goals. \nGovernments cannot act alone in preventing violent extremism. Member States are encouraged to engage with all concerned social actors (including women\, youth\, religious leaders\, and victims of violent extremism). Promotion of community-led initiatives aimed at strengthening social cohesion and grassroots-generated solutions to local grievances remains paramount. The Secretary-General tied this notion to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\, particularly SDG 16. In his remarks in February 2017\, he reaffirmed that principle: “Promoting social cohesion\, so that diversity is seen as a benefit rather than a threat\, is investing in sustaining peace. As societies become more multi-cultural\, multi-ethnic and multi-religious\, people must feel that their identities are valued\, even as they feel a sense of belonging to the larger community.” Communities and grassroots organizations are best placed to bring to the fore their needs and debate possible avenues to address them. Discussions in this respect should promote a true exchange of ideas that would engender or strengthen a sense of belonging among members of the community. \nAn “All-of-United Nations” approach has always been at the heart of the Secretary-General reform efforts of the UN peace and security architecture. In this respect\, UNAOC has been committed\, dating back to the High-level Group Report of 2006\, to promote initiatives aimed at rejecting violent extremism. The political interventions of the High Representative have consistently been guided by the need to advance efforts to address the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism and violent extremism while respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms. UNAOC project activities have similarly been anchored in this principle. Our project activities have evolved into a solid and growing portfolio that tackles the phenomenon from multiple directions. In all instances\, UNAOC project activities are designed to promote the underlying values that are essential to preventing violent extremism and to advancing the goals of sustainable peace and security – tolerance\, dialogue\, inclusion and coexistence. \nUNAOC youth-oriented activities provide opportunities for capacity building for civil society as well as peace education for young civil society leaders. Media programming provides young people with an opportunity to develop their media and information literacy and critical thinking skills to tackle hate speech and incitement to terrorism both in the online and offline spheres. The UNAOC Fellowship Program continues to provide opportunities for young professionals to expose themselves to new cultures and to gain a greater respect for cultural diversity. All of these initiatives represent key preventative elements. \nAt the end\, sustaining peace aims to build a common vision of a society which\, when inclusive and peaceful\, will become the primary reference point for action on countering and ending violent extremism. \nThe High Representative will brief the members of the Group of Friends on the agenda for UNAOC activities in 2018. \nRead moreHide text\n\nAGENDACONCEPT NOTE\nDownload (PDF\, 511KB) \n\n\n\nDownload (PDF\, 160KB) URL:https://www.unaoc.org/event/group-of-friends-meeting-april2018/ LOCATION:UNHQ ECOSOC Chamber\, United Nations Headquarters\, New York\, NY\, 10017\, United States CATEGORIES:Group of Friends Meeting END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20170922T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20170922T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T172218 CREATED:20170912T133408Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170920T175633Z UID:22135-1506092400-1506103200@www.unaoc.org SUMMARY:UNAOC Group of Friends Ministerial Meeting DESCRIPTION:This meeting will be live streamed.
