00:00Il mondo oggi è pieno di tensioni e crisi.
00:03Quali sono i problemi di umanitaria di umanitaria per l'organizzazione?
00:08Ci sono molti problemi.
00:10Il numero e il violenza di conflitti è riuscita.
00:16Abbiamo i conflitti in l'Este, in Sub-Saharan Africa e in altre parti del mondo.
00:24Questo sicuramente poses un grande challenge.
00:27We have the challenge of Covid.
00:31In our Western societies, we may think of a post-Covid area,
00:38but in the third world, the pandemic is still on the rise
00:45and nobody knows when it will be under control
00:48and which effects, long-term effects, it will have.
00:53and it has had already the effect of a setback of economic growth in Africa
01:05with long-term effects.
01:08Can you give us an example of some of the humanitarian collaboration you have in different countries
01:14and with organizations or institutions from different religious faiths?
01:19One of the best examples is Lebanon.
01:23In Lebanon, the order works with all the different religions and confessions.
01:30We have formal cooperations with the Shiites, Sunnites, the Druze
01:36and different Christian confessions and different Christian confessions.
01:40Some of the clinics we run in cooperation.
01:44And I think Lebanon, a country which is on the verge of total collapse
01:54with an enormously raising poverty rate,
02:01and the cooperation with the other religions prove that our intention
02:13to work together with others can make a difference.
02:18In recent weeks and days, the Afghanistan crisis unraveling.
02:24And you mentioned earlier the Covid or post-Covid,
02:28it depends from which part of the world you see the crisis.
02:33Can you tell us where and what do you see as a source of international tension
02:39and again of humanitarian crisis in this complex scenario?
02:44Development in Afghanistan have two effects, in my view,
02:52which are important for us to follow.
02:56The one is the decline of reputation and prestige for Western values,
03:06which include humanitarian values,
03:11which often are considered as Western values,
03:16which again makes it even more important to seek for other potentials to promote human values.
03:33For us, one of the first source of these values are the different religions.
03:42So therefore, for instance, this event here in Bologna is so important.
03:51The other effect is that of course, especially the European countries,
03:59are very concerned about a new wave of refugees.
04:03and they are trying to convince the neighboring countries to take as many refugees as possible
04:12and to convince them to remain in the neighborhood,
04:16which means that the European countries will pay them a lot of money.
04:23So we are very concerned that migration or the threat to send migrants towards Europe
04:36may become a business model or a model for blackmailing,
04:40asking for money, otherwise sending migrants.
04:44And we can already observe it in different places.
04:46We are here in Bologna for the G20 of Interfaith Dialogue.
04:52What's your take on this event?
04:54Do you think such events are useful for the humanitarian cause?
04:58Almost in all religions, the basic values to protect human life, to promote peace, hospitality for strangers,
05:12this is a strong source of ethical values which we thought policy should draw upon more than in the past.
05:24And we are very satisfied that during recent years in many governments this has been realized also on the level
05:37of the United Nations.
05:39So we think this occasion here in Bologna gives again a very good opportunity to promote this policy.
05:53And I think foreign policy not taking into regard religion, the religious culture, the religious environment, the potential of religious
06:08leaders fails to use or to be complete.
06:17And as more we talk together about it, as more interfaith connections and relations can be built, as better.
06:29Especially, as I mentioned already, that the regard for the written humanitarian law is declining in some parts of the
06:40world.
06:40So the basic ethical and moral principles in religions are one of the few remaining sources to draw on and
06:54to promote these principles.
06:56And we believe that the financial principles.
06:57Thank you for the work that I have done based on the Plaid Development Council.
