Round Table Meeting on “Multi-stakeholder Approach to Shared Security: the Role of Religions”
Posted on
Religions for Peace and Helsinki Process on Globalization and Democracy will convene a Round Table “Multi-stakeholder approach to shared security: the role of religions” in the BA on Friday, 13 April 2007. This will explore in concrete terms the potentiality of religions and religious assets in a multi-stakeholder approach to promoting shared (human/common/collective) security and engaging in conflict transformation.
The Round Table participants will be representatives of religious institutions, eminent persons with political background and government affairs, representatives of the Helsinki Process and Alliance of Civilization networks, and UN Peace Building Commission stakeholders.
This diverse group will explore the role of religions in conflict transformation and promotion of shared security. Cases in which religious communities have contributed significantly to peacemaking and peace building in a multi-stakeholder context will be examined. The participants will examine how the three sets of religious assets were mobilized in these cases, and attempt to indicate processes and mechanisms, which religious communities may find useful in similar situations.
The Round table will start at 9:00 hrs at the BA Nobel Room.
