The Religion & Security Council (RSC) President visited the NATO SFA COE
On the
22nd of April, the founding chairman of the Religion & Security
Council, Mr Emiliano STORNELLI, visited the NATO SFA COE.
RSC is
a foundation which has stimulated many activities focused on the interreligious
dialogue in advancing conflicts resolutions, reconciliation and peacebuilding.
The RSC
through all its activities engages decision-makers, officials, scholars and
experts, with different backgrounds to raise awareness that the religious
factor could provide in defusing confrontational situations and advancing
reconciliation, in areas that witness warfare, unrest and humanitarian
emergencies.
The
aim of the meeting was to increase the Centre’s network with this organization that
promotes peacebuilding and conflicts resolution by addressing the role of the
religious factor in international crises.
Given
the fact that Security Force Assistance must be planned, executed, and assessed
in the context of NATO’s contribution to comprehensive approach, the
interreligious dialogue aimed at conflict resolution, reconciliation and
peacebuilding can be considered an integral part of the SFA lines of effort.
In
fact, as underlined during the meeting, within the SFA security framework it is
possible to identify several areas of overlapping and integration with the
religious dimension.
For
these reasons from the NATO SFA COE’s perspective it will be auspicious to
deepen possible interactions and common projects with the Religion &
Security Council.
