Religion. IV Parliament of the World’s Religions: "During 7 to 13 July, the Universal Forum of Cultures became the Universal Forum of Religions, at which the leaders of more than 100 faiths showed that, in spite of all their differences, everybody has a fundamental principle that unites them: universal peace and mutual respect. In this sense, they undertook to renew the will so that dialogue, tolerance and the fulfilment of human rights would no longer be a far-off utopia in a fragmented and unequal world."
