06:08è extremamente importante, è extremamente relevante, e questo è qualcosa che tutti
06:14devono essere aware di. In un mondo senza pazienza, non dovremo perdere la speranza.
06:27We devono essere parliaments che portano tutti i paesi, i paesi, i paesi e i paesi.
06:33We have to believe in the hope for a fair world, a world once again in peace.
06:42Thank you again, Mr. Cassini, for your unwavering commitment, for your bravery and for your determination.
06:55Along with Mr. Cassini, I also wish to thank President Tulia Axson, Mr. Maurizio Lupi,
07:02the Chamber of Deputies, the Senate, their teams, and all those who have worked so hard
07:10to organize this important meeting.
07:15And of course, I once again wish to thank Monsignor Fisichella.
07:20Two years after the first edition, which as Mr. Fontana mentioned was held in Marrakesh,
07:25The Second Conference on Interfaith Dialogue is a way of renewing and consolidating our
07:31desire to overcome a season marked by religious conflict and division, an era marked by prejudice
07:41and ideological barriers.
07:43Now more than ever, this conference is a benchmark.
07:51It represents hope for the entire world so that these words can turn into tangible actions,
07:59not just as a way of achieving hope and peace, but as a way of making sure that peace becomes something tangible.
08:07And in 2023, the conference marked a turning point in inter-parliamentary cooperation,
08:13bringing around the same table representatives from over 50 countries and a number of different religions.
08:21and the activities in Congress over the next few days is a highly strategic opportunity,
08:34allowing us to continue working to build peace, freedom, respect, and friendship between peoples and nations.
08:42Now more than ever, with the new and tragic tensions in the Middle East and with the surge in hate crimes also spurred by religion,
09:00with the unacceptable violation of human rights in many parts of the world,
09:07and with the fighting in Ukraine, Israel, Iran, and so many other countries,
09:13we all have the duty of making sure that this event becomes a clear sign of hope for the future.
09:21And let me focus on the word hope.
09:25Hope is something we can build together with the awareness that human beings need to believe
09:35and ensure that through faith they can aspire to improve every day.
09:40Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Protestants, Jews, Muslims,
09:46representatives of all faith and of all belief know
09:52that faith is a light that unites us all, despite our differences.
10:00And these differences do exist.
10:05Although together we walk in this light, together we can find a way to promote a dialogue and mutual understanding,
10:13so that we can defeat hate and lay our weapons down.
10:17It won't be easy, but we do want to sit around the same table so that we can build bridges between faiths and institutions,
10:27strong and long-lasting bridges based on mutual trust, respect, and a feeling of universal fraternity
10:41that Pope Francis and Pope Leo have placed at the very center of their pastoral commitment.
10:48And, of course, the root of peace is the true meaning of humanity.
10:53It is its anthropological root, as underlined already by John Paul II and Benedict XVI.
11:02And I'm sure that Saturday, our audience with the Holy Father on the occasion of the Jubilee of Governors,
11:15as it concludes the activities of this second Conference on Interfaith Dialogue,
11:20will certainly be a new and very emotional and highly meaningful, symbolic, and spiritual event.
11:31And I'm sure that these two days of discussions and debate, I'm sure, will become a precious opportunity
11:39to underline how much parliamentary diplomacy and how much the inter-parliamentary union have become a crucial tool
11:54to promote dialogue and integration between worlds which are only apparently distant.
12:00So thank you once again for your precious commitment.
12:03Thank you for your passion. Thank you for your dedication.
12:07Peace and justice. Humanity and progress. Trust and cooperation.
12:13This is the parliamentary dimension of all parliaments, which are and which will continue to be the very core of the values and ideals of all eras.
12:27And I wish all of you my most sincere and my deepest best wishes.
12:32And thank you very much for being in Italy.
12:34The floor now goes to the President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, Ms. Thulia Akson.
12:59Excellencies, honorable members of Parliament, esteemed religious leaders, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, dear colleagues.
13:12It is a great honor to address you today standing on one of the lands of holiness as the President of the Global Parliament of Parliaments.
13:24I would like to thank our gracious hosts, the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of Italy for welcoming us to Rome.
13:35It is quite a remarkable moment for us to be here in the course of this Jubilee year
13:42and to have the privilege to sit in your magnificent debating chamber for two days and meet with leaders of religions, beliefs, civil society and international experts from around the world.
13:59This conference, dear colleagues, dear friends, provides us with an opportunity to discuss how we, as legislators, alongside all other actors of goodwill, can work together for a common future,
14:14being also a valuable tool for peace building and diplomacy.
14:21Then, for us all, people of all religions, beliefs and faiths are excited to attend an audience with the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, as a way of reaffirming our united commitment to the common good.
14:39Dear colleagues, dear friends, I recognize this conference as a unique event, bringing us all together at a time when the world is facing multiple challenges,
14:54ranging from peace and security, cultural distortions, race discrimination, gender violence, belief abuses, and all sorts of instabilities and conflicts.
15:11Why are we here?
15:13The Interparliamentary Union spearheading this conversation between national parliaments and representatives of the global religions and belief community.
15:23In addition, why now?
15:27The Interparliamentary Union is not only the global organization of national parliaments.
15:32It is the oldest political multilateral organization in the world and has been there around for about 136 years.
15:44The IPU has seen the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the First and Second World Wars, the creation of the League of Nations and the United Nations,
15:56and the breakdown of colonialism, the emergency of modern national states, the Cold War, and every other global conflict, natural disaster, and moment of triumph and loss since 1889.
16:13Our commitment throughout all this has been to be a convener, to provide a platform for dialogue for the sake of peace, security, and for the promotion of democracy for everyone.
16:30However, dialogue cannot place in echo chambers.
16:37In addition, democracy thrives on inclusivity and vibrant exchange.
16:43The IPU's current strategy encourages parliaments to engage with their broader ecosystems, with all of the society.
16:56This is precisely what this conference aims to do.
17:01We recognize that we are facing very difficult times.
17:06Our societies are being torn apart by different crises.
17:10Conflicts are being fought both online and offline, with words and with weapons.
17:18We recognize that our common future is at stake.
17:21It is our present.
17:24We must call upon coming together, not just to safeguard a future for our children, but also to protect the rights and livelihoods of our parents and peers.
17:37Parliamentarians have an essential role to play in the promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies.
17:45It is our duty to uphold the rule of law, human rights and justice through our functions of representation, oversight, budgetary approval, and legislation.
18:02Recently, we have begun to speak more of a fifth function of members of parliament, parliamentary diplomacy.
18:11This is a tool to reveal the potential of our networks and expertise beyond national borders, to promote dialogue, understanding, and cooperation, and even to mediate conflicts.
18:27Our representatives of religions and beliefs are important dialogue partners for parliamentarians.
18:33Religion and belief provide answers to many questions.
18:38They inform our values and give our lives a meaning.
18:43Religious leaders are people of influence, and religious organizations care for the needy and the elderly, and educate our children as well.
18:56Political and religious actors may have different mandates, but we are all concerned citizens, and united by shared values such as peace, respect, equality, humanity, fraternity, accountability, and compassion.
19:16As well as a commitment to working for the good of our constituents, congregants, and the broader society.
19:25Many of us here today are leaders in our communities.
19:29As our societies become more fragmented, it falls to us to be responsible guides and advocates of justice, peace, and social coercion.
19:43Gathered here in Rome, we will seize this unique opportunity to see how dialogue can inform national policies and legislation.
19:54How we can identify avenues to uphold the equal rights and dignity for all.
20:01and how we can combat all forms of hatred and discrimination and foster social coercion, tolerance, and understanding.
20:12Dear friends, dear colleagues, I want to express my appreciation for how far many of you have come to be here today.
20:21And to recognize your belief in the importance of talking across national, party, and religious lines.
20:32And of sharing your expertise for the common good of humankind.
20:36I would like to ask all of you here today to make three commitments for your time at this conference.
20:45First, be willing to listen, because in every exchange there is a space for learning.
20:53Secondly, be willing to share, so that others may benefit from the expertise in which you have invested so much.
21:03Thirdly, be ready to reach out.
21:07The pool of expertise here is exceptional.
21:10Our experts will spark your curiosity.
21:13But one short speech from the podium cannot satisfy it.
21:18I urge you all to connect with each other and draw on the wealth of talent that is gathered here today, tomorrow, and the day after.
21:28Colleagues, notably, it has become perhaps even more so in the last week as we have watched with great sadness and concern the escalation of parliamentarians, panelists, and young people.
21:47Many people working in peace in difficult circumstances who would have wished to be with us here, but they are unable to because of what is happening in their countries.
22:01I hope their absence is going to even make us work harder so that the whole world is a better place for everyone and for each one of us as well.
22:14I want to wish you all fruitful deliberations.
22:18My greatest wish for this conference is that we can work together in a space of mutual respect and in the spirit of our common humanity.
22:31I thank you all for listening.
22:46The floor now goes to the Secretary General of Religions for Peace, Dr. Francis Curia.
22:57Thank you very much.
23:00Esteemed parliamentarians, eminent religious leaders, dedicated members of civil society, and all those working towards a just world, warm greetings of peace.
23:17It is a great honor to stand with you here today in this historic city during the year of Jubilee.
23:24An year to renew hope for our common future.
23:30We welcome the leadership of Pope Leo XIV as we join hands with all faiths in dialogue towards a common future,
23:42anchored in peace and human dignity.
23:47Thank you to the Italian Parliament and the Italian Parliamentary Union for bringing us together.
23:54And to Mr. Lorenzo Fontana and Ignacio La Russa and Ms. Tulia Axon for their powerful remarks that will guide our discussions during this conference.
24:08For those who may not be aware, Religions for Peace is the largest and most representative multi-faith peace-building organization in the world,
24:20bringing together all the major religious communities in the world at the global, regional and national levels,
24:28creating a vibrant, growing and connected global movement.
24:33For over 50 years, we have brought together thousands of diverse religious leaders and their communities to champion peace.
24:43We have worked with parliamentarians around the globe to find more innovative ways for faith and government to not only coexist but strengthen each other.
24:55I remember, and as an example, working with parliamentarian leadership in my own country, Kenya, as part of the Interreligious Council of Kenya,
25:09an affiliate of Religions for Peace, to craft electoral reforms necessary to move forward elections in 2016,
25:17when our country, and I think my brothers who are here today can testify, was indeed electropolaris.
25:27As we undoubtedly hear throughout this conference, our world is in a dire place.
25:33Not only is the world engulfed in more wars than ever before, but we are woefully behind in meeting the global targets of the Sustainable Development Goals that anchor peace in development.
25:47Rising violent conflict, unprecedented numbers of refugees and forced migrants, the rise of climate disasters, and the imminent danger of nuclear war have put all humanity and our planet in grave danger.
26:06Many of the conflicts emanate from the delicate challenge of management of power transitions before, during, and after elections that have to be dealt with by parliamentarians.
26:20In the midst of this interwoven crisis, cooperation between the world's parliamentarians and religious leaders is more vital than ever before.
26:31Parliamentarians are the backbone of their nations. They create and uphold the rule of law and sense of justice.
26:38They serve as a bridge between the public and government.
26:44And their diplomacy and dedication to the people is foundational for any just and peaceful society as they embody the democratic ideal of a government by the people for the people.
27:00On the other hand, religious leaders serve as the moral ethical guides to legislation.
27:09They are trusted advisors and voices of the voiceless and necessary dialogue partners for parliamentarians.
27:19They influence public perceptions, provide moral clarity, and inform national priorities.
27:28By championing the freedom of conscience, thought, and belief, religious leaders also act as key guardians of basic freedoms of the people.
27:40Despite working in different avenues, religious leaders and parliamentarians share a common goal for the people they serve.
27:49To create a shared flourishing for all.
27:54This shared flourishing is only possible where these two groups come together to actively champion a harmonious world for all people of all faiths and beliefs.
28:07We committed to this during the first parliamentary conference on interfaith dialogue in Marrakesh, Morocco.
28:17This coming together, led by the people in this room and elsewhere, by the parliamentarians and religious leaders dedicated to serve their people, needs to translate to quantifiable actions.
28:28We, in religions for peace, are committed to working with the international parliamentary union and national parliaments in creating the best multireligious and multisectoral networks and partnerships.
28:41Since for success, interfaith, interfaith, multireligious and multisectoral processes are best driven given the plurality of beliefs and non-beliefs in most countries.
28:56At religions for peace, we have seen what can be achieved when religious leaders and parliamentarians work together time and again.
29:07Additionally, on 26th of May this year, religions for peace in partnership with the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations launched a call for peace, end of war and respect of international law in Granica, Spain.
29:25Today, we call on all parliamentarians globally to join us in this call, especially at this precarious moment, at this precarious moment, when we see the escalation of wars and the unjustified and cruel targeting of civilians and humanitarian workers in defiance to international law.
29:47The road ahead calls for a shift from consultation to co-creation, from working in parallel to two partnerships, and from transactional relationships to transformational solidarity.
30:03We must trust each other and work together to defend democracy against hatred and division, to promote and protect freedom of belief and practice and uphold the rights of religious minorities, to combat hatred and reject polarization.
30:25We must strengthen the trust between religions and legislative institutions, reminding all that we are striving for the same goal, a world where all people and our planet are united in working towards a shared sacred flourishing for all.
30:47We therefore look forward to a vibrant and action-oriented final document from this conference, and then follow up for its actualization.
30:58We in Religions for Peace will continue to remain committed to collaboration for peace and human fraternity, as we work towards to strengthen trust and build hope for our common future.
31:14Thank you, and God bless us all.
31:25And we will now hear from the Archbishop, Prefect of the Dicastory of Evangelization, who is responsible for the 2025 Jubilee, His Excellency, the Most Reverend Rino Fisichella.
31:44Honourable President of the Chamber of Deputies, Honourable President of the Senate, Most Honourable President and Secretary General of the Interparliamentary Union, and President Emeritus Mr. Cassini, to all of you, political, religious, and civilian authorities who are present for these study days.
32:12It is an honour for me to extend the greetings of the Holy See.
32:19There will be an audience with Pope Leo to the members of this group on Saturday morning.
32:27And we are indeed grateful, deeply grateful, for having chosen this time for your meeting.
32:34In fact, this is an important part of the Jubilee Year Interfaith Dialogue.
32:42You've chosen the title Strengthening Trust and Embracing Hope.
32:51This is a tangible sign of what can be done by policymakers.
33:02We have to strengthen the trust of citizens and the dialogue between religions, as well as all formative venues.
33:15The credibility of institutions seems to be weakening.
33:20Strengthening this trust becomes a fundamental commitment, therefore, because the cultural crisis that we are now experiencing must be overcome.
33:33And this can make this easier.
33:36Of course, we need to embrace hope in order to do this.
33:40Hope is not a utopia.
33:42Hope has a face.
33:45And hope is a person.
33:48It is something concrete.
33:50And even your engagement might become a tangible hope.
33:58No one must ever believe that his or her own personal engagement, even if it is limited and if it is played out in solitude and in silence.
34:10But one must never believe that he or she is not able to impact the social and the international dimension through their engagement.
34:22However, hope must be made tangible.
34:25There are signs that we need to reveal because those who, Harold, who announce hope must be able to see it and to touch it with their own hands.
34:39The political dimension is part of this very sign, in fact.
34:47And this is what makes it possible for us to achieve concrete outcomes in those very areas where hope is so needed and where this action is fundamental.
35:06Needless to say, we all know that we are living in tragic, in dramatic times.
35:16Not tragic because the word tragedy should not be part of our vocabulary.
35:22Where there is a tragedy, there is no hope.
35:25Where there is drama, then not only is there hope, but there are also concrete actions with which to counter the tragedies.
35:37So, when we hear the missiles, when we hear innocent people crying out, then we must make the voice of politics and diplomacy louder still.
35:54And I think that universities need to be stronger in their formative activities.
36:02And it is therefore important to hear their engagement vis-à-vis peace.
36:07It is with this sentiment that I wish you a very fruitful dialogue and meeting.
36:19Thank you all for your attention.
36:26And we shall now hear from the Honorary President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union and the President of the Italian IPU Group, Pier Ferdinando Cassini.
36:40First of all, I wish to extend my thanks to the President of the Chamber of Deputies and to the President of the Senate of the Italian Republic.
36:52I thank you very much for your kind and affectionate words.
36:55And I also wish to express my thanks to the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, to the Secretaries General, and to all their co-workers for a wonderful organization of this important meeting.
37:13Equally, I wish to extend my greetings and my thanks for having chosen Rome.
37:18I thank, therefore, the President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union and its Secretary General as well.
37:24I believe it is very important for us to be here today.
37:28This morning, during the preparatory meeting behind closed doors,
37:38multiple religious leaders said,
37:43we cannot limit our action to voting on documents.
37:48We must speak publicly.
37:52We must make sure that everyone can hear our voices.
37:56So, if this is the feeling of faith leaders, then, of course, all the more so, it must be the feeling of we members of Parliament and our leaders.
38:13We must not be afraid to remember that no war can be fought in the name of God.
38:21In this very hall, over 20 years ago, John Paul II reminded us, parliamentarians, that the religions are challenged to show their rich potential for peace.
38:41By guiding the cultures and civilizations that draw inspiration from them towards mutual understanding.
38:56This is the heart of interfaith dialogue.
39:04Dear colleagues, it is not an attempt to standardize faiths, but rather an opportunity for us to acknowledge others in their dignity and to build together a peace that is not simply the absence of war,
39:23but the active presence of justice and solidarity.
39:30These are the foundations of peace.
39:34The unifying and inalienable principles that all faiths share.
39:41And that world parliaments should convert into concrete policies, thereby forging a balanced relationship between democracy as a rule of civil coexistence and religious values.
39:58We either learn to walk together in peace and in mutual respect and tolerance or we destroy one another.
40:12These are very important words coming from afar from the very first interfaith meeting in Assisi in 1986.
40:23And in these very days, Leo XIV, the spirit of the spirit of the risen Christ open paths of reconciliation wherever there is war.
40:40May he enlighten those who govern and give them the courage to make gestures of de-escalation and dialogue.
40:45This is what he said.
40:49Just a few days ago.
40:50Just a few days ago.
40:51We are here, dear friends, to say something very simple, not to illustrate or export models, but to say that we need an individual and collective effort to try to understand one another more and more.
41:04And we must not leave our children a world that is ruled by force as opposed to justice and balanced principles.
41:19Force cannot be the element, the factor that is regulating the relations between and among men.
41:26And this is why interfaith dialogue means an act of faith for multilateralism and peaceful coexistence and the ability to build up a peace which is founded, which is predicated on the principles of freedom and justice.
41:41So maybe we are running counter to what is happening outside of this hall.
41:46Yes, perhaps that's what's happening, but I think that we are following the right course of action.
42:00Our ceremony has been.
42:01Thank you.
42:02Thank you.
42:03Thank you.
42:04Thank you.
42:05Thank you.
42:06Thank you.
42:07Thank you.
42:08Thank you.
42:09Thank you.
42:10Thank you.
42:11Thank you.
42:12Thank you.
42:13Thank you.
