Introducing the IPYG Affiliate Organization

 Jssor Youth Organization, an affiliate of IPYG, operates as an NGO in Tikar, located in southern Iraq. Under the leadership of Mr. Mortadha Abdillah, the organization mobilizes youth from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to engage in peace-building initiatives, including youth campaigns and efforts to combat sexual violence. Its activities align closely with UNSC Resolution 2250, contributing positively to Iraqi society.

 

The organization actively participates in the MENA Youth Engagement & Peacebuilding Working Group (YEPW), facilitating activities such as interviews and surveys to enhance the awareness and understanding of youth in the Middle East.

These efforts aim to empower young people to play meaningful roles in promoting peace.

Lastly, here is a message from Ms. Yasmine Wertani, Program Manager of Jssor Youth Organization.

 

“Peace and security are not merely the absence of violence or the cessation of conflicts; they entail envisioning free and democratic societies that uphold principles of justice, dignity, and address social, political, and structural inequalities. 

Simply involving youth in peace processes falls short; they must actively engage in all political processes and decision-making affecting them and society. This aspect demands careful consideration in our endeavors towards peacebuilding.” 

Will you support peace-building initiatives, including youth campaigns and efforts to combat sexual violence?

The document stresses that terrorism and violent extremism cannot and should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilization, or ethnic group.

It calls for a global dialogue on the promotion of a culture of tolerance and peace, based on respect for human rights and for the diversity of religions and belief.

International Day of Human Fraternity 4 February

Human fraternity for peace and cooperation

We need — perhaps more than ever before — to recognize the valuable contribution of people of all religions, or beliefs, to humanity and the contribution that dialogue among all religious groups can make towards an improved awareness and understanding of the common values shared by all humankind.

 

We also need to underline the importance of raising awareness about different cultures and religions, or beliefs, and the promotion of tolerance, which involves societal acceptance and respect for religious and cultural diversity, including with regard to religious expression. Education, in particular at school, should contribute in a meaningful way to promoting tolerance and the elimination of discrimination based on religion or belief.

Furthermore, we must acknowledge that tolerance, pluralistic tradition, mutual respect and the diversity of religions and beliefs promote human fraternity. Thus, it is imperative that we encourage activities aimed at promoting interreligious and intercultural dialogue in order to enhance peace and social stability, respect for diversity and mutual respect and to create, at the global level, and also at the regional, national and local levels, an environment conducive to peace and mutual understanding.

Within that frame, the General-Assembly took note of all international, regional, national and local initiatives, as appropriate, as well as efforts by religious leaders, to promote interreligious and intercultural dialogue, and in this regard took note also of the meeting between Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmad al-Tayyib, on 4 February 2019 in Abu Dhabi, which resulted in the signing of the document entitled “Human fraternity for world peace and living together”.
