Case studies

The UN welcomes religious actors to participate. They bring diverse perspectives and ideas.

To promote sustainable development in all countries, intergovernmental and governmental entities have teamed up with various faith-based and civil societies organizations. Together, they engage the social capital of diverse faith communities and their capacities to facilitate humanitarian assistance. These efforts are critical for achieving development goals. Promoting peace in the world requires that we engage faith in conflict resolution.

Since 1972, there has been a Committee of Religious NGOs at the UN, which is made up of representatives from religious, spiritual, ethical, and other organizations accredited to the UN. The committee was established to encourage cooperation and allow for the exchange of different points of views.

These organizations address some of the most urgent issues facing the world today. They also engage in various development activities. They engage in interreligious conversations to promote peace and human right in conflict areas.

UN Processes Case Studies

UN processes related religion have a complicated history. The UN has historically been secular, but some UN community members have questioned its relevance in promoting religious freedom. Many FBOs within the UN system, however, have a more liberal orientation and are eager to connect with liberal governments and other NGOs.

The UN is a secular forum, and debates are held within this context. These values and norms influence the public policy discourse in the world. They influence liberal and non-liberal ideas. Even conservative FBOs voted against liberal SRHR laws. These conservative voices often do not express their religious beliefs openly.

FBOs are becoming more prominent players in the UN. They play an important part in the resolutions of conflict in many nations. South Africa has a number of religious groups that have worked to promote peace and reconciliation. Mozambique has seen religious actors play a significant role in conflict resolution.
