Preamble

We, the Founding Members of the World Religious Peace Parliament, recognizing the dignity of every human being and the importance of religion, spirituality, ethics, scholarship, dialogue and humanitarian cooperation in building peaceful societies, hereby establish this Parliament as an independent international platform dedicated to peace.

We acknowledge that humanity consists of many religions, traditions, cultures, nations and schools of thought, and that diversity should not become a cause of hatred, violence, discrimination or division.

The Parliament shall not seek to unify religions, alter doctrine, interfere in theological matters or place one belief system above another. Its purpose shall be to create a common platform for peace, dialogue, coexistence, humanitarian cooperation, education, reconciliation and the protection of human dignity.

One Humanity. Many Faiths. One Commitment to Peace.
