| United Nations and Human Rights Solidarity: The Way to Peace and International Cooperation for Human Rights, Human Responsibility and Spirituality Imagine a room of mirrors, reflecting back upon each of us and within each of our hearts, magnifying the compassion, valuing each other, allowing peace to resonate within and beyond each of us. Imagine that we represent solidarity, standing together with the clear intention that we act in unity toward supporting global peace. We are ere to carry this image within our hearts, reflect it everywhere we go and truly live the essential truth that humankind is responsible for human rights and spirituality is the vehicle for achieving that goal. This is the general message of the work of the International Association of Sufism as a Department of Public Information for the United Nations. This work falls in the domain of humanitarian intervention as a role for civil society in that each of us at the International Association of Sufism is working for one goal of peace. We work in prisons, we work with the homeless, we work with mothers and children dying from the AIDS epidemic, and we pray for peace. We represent humanitarian intervention by actively engaging in the resolution of critical conflicts, we stand between the offenders and the offendees and serve to provide an alternative, namely, solidarity in peace. As such, each of us stands as the bridge of resolution, the bridge of understanding and knowledge. The
work of the International Association of Sufism with the
United Nations invites each of us to our common point of
understanding each other, namely, knowledge. As the world
suffers from overcrowding, deforestation, pollution, technological
melt downs, competition, violence, HIV, poverty, hunger
to name a few current human conditions that the majority
of the world struggles under. The world suffers as the individual
suffers, as the society suffers. The individual spirit reflects
the collective spirit. Sufism offers the world a comprehensive
insurance plan - no deductible necessary. It is a plan that
is inclusive and brings meaning rather than rhetoric. It
acknowledges the significance of life and the value of peace
for all humanity. With knowledge, we can stand together in solidarity and create a civilized world of peace and cooperation built on mutual respect and responsibility. Imagine a reality of solidarity in peace among us. If you wish to be further involved with our work as a Department of Public Information for the United Nations, please contact us: UN
