United Nations, New York, 26 September 2009 - US President Barack Obama, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Desmond Tutu, and leading global opinion-makers present a bold UN project.

The Alliance of Civilizations is an international effort to build the cultural conditions for peace between countries and within communities. It is driven by a vision of a world in which different faiths and cultures can not only live side by side in peace, but come together for the good of all humanity.

Launched by the UN Secretary-General in 2005, and co-sponsored by the governments of Spain and Turkey, today the Alliance is a thriving societal coalition of over 100 governments and international organizations, leading businesses, academic and research centers, civil society organizations, and faith groups, dedicated to building a more peaceful and tolerant world through working to implement concrete, on the ground initiatives and policies on youth, education, media and migration issues, which make a difference in communities.

  • WoW. Why would Non-Muslims ever welcome Islam? Do they not understand Islam? Islam is a form of government 100% times worse than Communism. Islam is the religious government God warns about in scripture. The Beast which rules most of the world until Christ returns. I hope Christians wake-up!!

  • ah, sense.

  • There are no global citizens.

    It´s a fantasy.

  • The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between. —Mother Teresa

    Until we deal with the elephant in the room folks we are just dreaming...

  • Alliance for the win! Let's do it!

  • There is only one civilization. HUMAN CIVILIZATION!!! Go Alliance!

  • Surely we can all try to understand and appreciate each other, celebrate each other's differences, love the diversity of humanity, respect each other's views and beliefs and allow each other the freedom to express who we are, in our own way, in our own time...then we will be happy and live in harmony on our beautiful earth. Ban Ki-Moon is right...we need to do it one on one...see the beauty in all of us individually and as a whole...I envision it every day! One Humanity, One Family, One Love!

  • What is considered a civilization ? Does it have to be a nation ? Is it measured by "western standards" ?

  • You have a confused message here.

    It isn't clear that you understand what the UN is, nor yet what government is and does.
