United
Nations Human Rights Project
Solidarity:
The Way to Peace and International Cooperation for Human
Rights, Human Responsibility and Spirituality
Imagine
a room of mirrors, reflecting back upon each of us and within
each of our hearts, magnifying the compassion, valuing each
other, allowing peace to resonate within and beyond each
of us. Imagine that we represent solidarity, standing together
with the clear intention that we act in unity toward supporting
global peace. We are ere to carry this image within our
hearts, reflect it everywhere we go and truly live the essential
truth that humankind is responsible for human rights and
spirituality is the vehicle for achieving that goal.
This
is the general message of the work of the International
Association of Sufism as a Department of Public Information
for the United Nations. This work falls in the domain of
humanitarian intervention as a role for civil society in
that each of us at the International Association of Sufism
is working for one goal of peace. We work in prisons, we
work with the homeless, we work with mothers and children
dying from the AIDS epidemic, and we pray for peace. We
represent humanitarian intervention by actively engaging
in the resolution of critical conflicts, we stand between
the offenders and the offendees and serve to provide an
alternative, namely, solidarity in peace. As such, each
of us stands as the bridge of resolution, the bridge of
understanding and knowledge.
The
work of the International Association of Sufism with the
United Nations invites each of us to our common point of
understanding each other, namely, knowledge. As the world
suffers from overcrowding, deforestation, pollution, technological
melt downs, competition, violence, HIV, poverty, hunger
to name a few current human conditions that the majority
of the world struggles under. The world suffers as the individual
suffers, as the society suffers. The individual spirit reflects
the collective spirit. Sufism offers the world a comprehensive
insurance plan - no deductible necessary. It is a plan that
is inclusive and brings meaning rather than rhetoric. It
acknowledges the significance of life and the value of peace
for all humanity.
The Sufi strives in every moment to be in service to Divine,
in this service is the lived expression of inner peace and
presence of heart. In this service is the lived expression
of compassion, human rights, and responsibility. The intention
in action leads to healing, change, communication, and understanding.
With
knowledge, we can stand together in solidarity and create
a civilized world of peace and cooperation built on mutual
respect and responsibility. Imagine a reality of solidarity
in peace among us.
