objective is to unite and federate efforts, to build bridges of
dialogue and communication among national and international
institutions which are focused on promoting peace, endogenous
development, dignity and human rights. NGO's, together with
academic, artistic, professional and humanitarian institutions,
should coordinate to defend these basic principles. This would
shape a debate that is favourable to all parties, which, well-oriented and united, could play an important role on the worldwide
scene.

holy places - Common patrimony of the humanity |
||
The project is developed within the frame of the "Declaration and Plan of Action for a Culture of Peace" and of the "Declaration of Madrid". It began in the year 2000 in Tenerife, continued in the year 2001 in Chicago, in 2002 in Trieste and in 2003 in Madrid. It is considered that the complex subject of the "Holy Places", particularly Jerusalem, is declared Common Patrimony of the Humanity. This recognition would leave the "Holy Places" aside from any conflict in which the states geographically belong to. The Common Patrimony of the Humanity awards a new status that bears specific forms from regulation to certain "places" that keep in his joint diversity a series of values, beliefs, material and immaterial symbols that for its culture belong to the entire humanity. A group of jurists and specialists in international law summoned by the President of the Foundation Culture of Peace, Federico Mayor Zaragoza, work to find and to propose solutions to this legal, political and cultural challenge that tries to contribute to the transition of a culture of war and violence to a culture of peace, dialogue and tolerance.In the meeting of Madrid, 27-28 September 2003, the final text of the "Project of Legal Regime of the Holy Places - Common Patrimony of the Humanity" was approved. The mentioned text has been spread within a wide group of personalities linked to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and will be useful as a basis for a multidisciplinar meeting supported by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in order to contribute initiatives to the Middle East Peace Plan. |
