MISSION STATEMENT<br />
<strong>The</strong> Center is a US charitable organization, dedicated to the reduction of religious-based conflict throughout the world through<br />
publicizing existing conflicts, their significance to all of us, and their causes; as well as providing realistic long-term solutions. <strong>The</strong><br />
Center is not a religion or church; nor in any way associated with any religion or church, but a truly independent organization which<br />
believes all religions are important. It does not seek to substitute or duplicate initiatives of religions or other organizations, but<br />
rather to compliment them. To reduce and eventually eliminate religious-based conflict in the world by first sensitizing the peoples of<br />
the world to the very real problem of religious-based conflict in the world, its causes and its costs, and second by education -<br />
particularly of the children - to a new and unique realistic, long-term approach to the problem.<br />
Founding year 1999<br />
BACKGROUND AND ACTIVITIES<br />
<strong>The</strong> Center has identified 18 religious-based conflicts throughout the world and publishes summaries on their evolution.<br />

REMARKS<br />
(personal opinion Evelyne: simplistic approach on what a “religious-based conflict” is, without an explicit definition. E.g. the Middle<br />
East conflict is presented as a conflict between “Judaism versus Islam”, etc.). But maybe it might be interesting as an example of<br />
institution.
