INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENVIRONMENT, PEACE, AND THE DIALOGUE AMONG CIVILIZATIONS AND CULTURES

Dialogue Among Civilizations Bulletin --Summary Report:

"Over 70 participants from more than 30 countries participated, including several ministers and other high-level representatives. The purpose of the Conference was to examine the interaction between environment, peace and security in the context of multilateral cultural dialogue among civilizations and discuss the need for multilateralism and meaningful dialogue. The Conference sought to underpin the imperative of multilateralism and meaningful dialogue among civilizations as a means for joint action against dehumanizing poverty, violence, increasing reliance on military might and continued erosion of the democratic practice, both at national and international levels."
