| We, the 360 delegates, representing
120 nations and all the world’s major religious traditions, including
heads of state and government, parliamentarians and ministers, scholars,
media professionals, and civic leaders from all continents and nations,
gathered for the Summit of World Leaders to consider ”The World at
a Turning Point: A Global Vision of Peace and Good Governance; ” Building on two recent IIFWP efforts
for peace which began by establishing a foundation of reconciliation
and forgiveness among Jew, Christians and Muslims, in the holy land
of Israel, and expanding to a wider interreligious assembly in America,
a land founded on Christian ideals, resulting in the Jerusalem and
Washington Declarations respectively, which promote the harmony of
all religious; and Affirming that God, the origin
of humanity as one family, is the source of goodness, truth and love,
indeed, the foundation of true and lasting peace; and
Observing that we inhabit a cosmos
that has both a physical reality and a spiritual reality, which are
to be unified and harmonized as a foundation for true and lasting
peace; and Confirming that peace is “the
hope of all ages” and the eternal will of God, who has worked His
providence in history through all religious in order to establish
a kingdom of true love and peace; and Expressing our gratitude for Reverend
and Mrs. Sun Myung Moon’s visionary leadership as True Parents, True
Teachers and True Owners, who founded and articulated the unifying
vision and principles of the IIFWP.
1. Resolve to uphold the imperative
for interreligious harmony and cooperation as an essential foundation
for peace, security and human development worldwide, and apply ourselves
most seriously to the task of building bonds of heart among believers
of all traditions; 2. Dedicate ourselves to peace
and the fulfillment of God’s ideal, for the sake of the coming generations,
particularly through the establishment of blessed families of true
love that apply the principle of living for the sake of others and
go beyond the barriers of race, religion and nationality; 3. Acknowledge that we, from every
nation, religion and race, have in many ways fallen short of the ideals
that we should uphold, and that in some instances we have wronged
one another and, therefore, must repent, seek forgiveness and initiate
acts of reconciliation for the sake of peace; and 4. Support the proposal for an
Interreligious Council at the United Nations, presented by Dr. Sun
Myung Moon in his address at the United Nations, August 18,2000,and
which is now to be taken before the 58th Session of the General Assembly
by the Republic of the Philippines, calling for the General Assembly
to form a Special Committee to expedite the proposal for this council
at the United Nations, as a means to significantly strengthen the
effectiveness of the United Nations in carrying out its urgent mission
“to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.”
