Geneva (IINA) – Director General of the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) Dr Abdulaziz Altwaijri stressed that the educational, scientific and cultural work, if organized and promoted to the required level, would strongly contribute to the stability of human societies, peace-building and the creation of new civilization in the world.
In a speech on Thursday at the International Summit on cross-border crime, organized by Crans Montana Forum in Geneva during the period from 14 to 16 October, Dr Altwaijri said: "Responsible cultural intervention has a significant role in the resolution of regional and international disputes." He underlined the need to establish an alliance between civilizations based on the rules of intercultural and interfaith dialogue. He added that this is the way to overcome the difficult challenges experienced by humanity today, and to settle the bloody conflict, and to defuse the political crisis and promote convergence between the people under the umbrella of a new fair and tolerant human civilization that the international community should mobilize efforts to build.
The Director General of ISESCO affirmed that if the regional cooperation has its role in maintaining the international peace and security, so the promotion of dialogue among cultures, civilizations and faiths would have an effective and influential role in building peace in the minds of people first and then on the ground. He noted that it is within this context falls the role of the international and regional organizations in conflict prevention and resolution, explaining that strengthening this role is a shared responsibility, no party should be relieved of it.
“Peace-building could not be reached through military intervention outside the scope of the UN Security Council approval because such an intervention, if carried out, would further aggravate the conflicts and contribute to their intensification and increase their intractability, thereby military intervention does not help at all in peace-building,” he confirmed.
The Director General of ISESCO called for the integration of peacekeeping operations within the framework of an international strategy of political, economic, social, educational, cultural, religious and media dimensions, in order to gain the character of inclusiveness and the vision that could accommodate all aspects of reality.
