The Nobel Peace Prize for 2015 was awarded to the Tunisian
National Dialogue Quartet 2 days ago for pioneering the rebuilding of a
pluralistic democracy in Tunisia after the Jasmine Revolution which began in
2010 and resulted in President El Abidine Ben Ali being driven out of his seat.
Positive Results When
All Gather as One
The Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet became a group of 4 organisations when the
Tunisian General Labour Union took the first step in forming an alliance of
civil societies. They approached the Tunisian Confederation of Industry, Trade
and Handicrafts, considered their historical rival. The Tunisian Human Rights
League and the Tunisian Order of Lawyers later joined.
This is a prime example of the positive results that can be
achieved when entities lay aside their disputes, differences and cultural divides
and gather together as one.
Established in 2013 at a time when
the Tunisian government were being criticised for their lax attitude
towards Islamic extremists; the Quartet took serious action when the
democratisation process became in danger of discord due to many political
assassinations which caused widespread social unrest.
The Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet played the role of mediator by forming a national
dialogue between the country's Islamic and secular coalition parties, which
led to the country's first free democratic elections last year.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee said; “It was thus
instrumental in enabling Tunisia, in the space of a few years, to establish a
constitutional system of government guaranteeing fundamental rights for the
entire population, irrespective of gender, political conviction or religious
belief”.
Chairman Mr Man Hee Lee of Heavenly Culture World Peace Restoration of light (HWPL) has been working tirelessly around the world to unite religions to create an alliance that would prevent war not just in one country - but the entire world.
How is this work being carried out?
Since the World Alliance of Religions for Peace (WARP) summit held in South Korea in 2014, many World Alliance of Religions for Peace (WARP) offices have been established in over 50 countries to create scripture dialogues which can determine the answer toward world peace.
I truly believe that through these positive actions, World Peace can be achieved one day at a time.
