2017 Annual International Conference

From October 30 to November 2, 2017, delegates from many countries around the world gathered in New York City for the 2017 Annual International Conference on Ethnic and Religious Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding. The theme of the conference was "Living Together in Peace and Harmony." The conference ended with a multi-faith, multi-ethnic, and multi-national prayer for global peace and security. Among the conference participants were University/College professors, researchers and scholars in the field of conflict analysis and resolution, and related fields of study, as well as practitioners, policy makers, students, civil society organizations, religious/faith leaders, business leaders, indigenous and community leaders, United Nations officers, and law enforcement officials. Conference participants agreed that our world is moving in the wrong direction. From the threats of nuclear weapons to terrorism, from interethnic and inter-racial violence to civil wars, from hate speeches to violent extremism, we are living in a world that needs conflict prevention, conflict resolution, and peacebuilding experts to speak up for our children and advocate for a return to civic relationship that is based on the responsibilities to protect our planet, to create equal opportunity for all, and to live together in peace and harmony.
