تصویب بیانیه هفتمین کنگره ادیان جهانی و سنتی قزاقستان

آوای نشاط : هفتمین کنگره جهانی رهبران مذاهب و ادیان سنتی با حضور ۱۳۰ هیات مذهبی، سیاسی و فرهنگی از ۶۰ کشور به میزبانی قزاقستان برگزار شد و سران حاضر در این نشست بین‌المللی تاکید کردند که پیام همه ادیان، صلح و آرامش و دوستی است و تروریسم، قتل و کشتار، خشونت و افراط گرایی هیچ تناسبی با ادیان ندارد.

بیانیه این نشست دو روزه که 14 سپتامبر سال 2022 ( 23 شهریورماه سال‌جاری) با حضور رهبران معنوی ادیان جهانی و سنتی از اسلام، مسیحیت، بودیسم، یهودیت، هندوئیسم، تائوئیسم، زرتشتی، شینتوئیسم و همچنین شخصیت‌های سیاسی و فرهنگی، نمایندگان سازمان‌های بین المللی کارشناسان مذهبی و علمای دینی در شهر آستانای قزاقستان افتتاح شده بود، به تصویب رسید. 

قاسم جومارت توکایف رییس جمهوری قزاقستان و پاپ فرانسیس، رهبر کاتولیک‌های سراسر جهان در سخنان خودشان در بیانیه پایانی این کنگره بین‌المللی تاکید کردند که نزدیک شدن و همزیستی مسالمت آمیز ادیان با یکدیگر تنها راه کاهش تروریسم و افراط‌گرایی است. 

آنها با تاکید بر نقش مهم رهبران دینی در برقراری صلح و امنیت در جهان خاطرنشان کردند: افراط گرایی، رادیکالیسم، تروریسم و سایر اشکال خشونت و جنگ، با هر انگیزه و هدفی که باشد، هیچ ربطی به دین ندارد و باید قاطعانه آن را رد کرد.

حجت‌الاسلام والمسلمین مهدی ایمانی‌پور، رئیس سازمان فرهنگ و ارتباطات اسلامی جمهوری اسلامی ایران از دیگر حاضران هفتمین کنگره رهبران دینی بود که با دائورن آبایف، دارخان قیدیرعلی و نوروزبای حاجی تاقان اولی وزارای فرهنگ و ورزش، اطلاعات و توسعه اجتماعی و مفتی اعظم جمهوری قزاقستان دیدار و طرفین در خصوص تقویت همکاری‌های متقابل در حوزه‌های فرهنگی و مذهبی بحث و تبادل نظر کردند.

شرکت کنندگان این نشست بین‌المللی با اشاره به اینکه تعدادی از درگیری‌ها در سراسر جهان ریشه در اختلافات مذهبی دارد خطاب به  دولت‌های ملی و سازمان‌های بین‌المللی اعلام کردند که امروزه حل مشکلات در حوزه دین در جهان امری فوری است.

بنابر این گزارش، این کنگره بین‌المللی ۱۳ فوریه سال ۲۰۰۳ (برابر با ۱۴ بهمن ۱۳۸۱) در راستای تقویت دیپلماسی معنوی در قزاقستان آغاز به کار کرد و نقش مهمی در نزدیک کردن دین، فرهنگ و تمدن به یکدیگر داشته و مقرر شده است که  هر سه سال یک بار در آستانا برگزار می‌شود.

گفتنی است اقدام ابتکاری جمهوری قزاقستان در برگزاری کنگره رهبران ادیان جهانی و سنتی در حال به ظرفیتی بی‌نظیر برای گفت‌وگوی معنوی بین ادیان تبدیل شده و نقش بی‌نظیری در افزایش اعتماد جهانی وهم اندیشی سران سیاسی و دینی ایفا کرده است تا حدی که سران روسیه، فرانسه، ایتالیا، عربستان سعودی، مصر، لهستان، آلمان و دیگر سران سازمان‌های بین‌المللی این موضوع را مهم دانسته و پیام تبریک خود را خطاب به کنگره ارسال کرده‌اند.

در بیانیه شرکت کنندگان در هفتمین کنگره تاکید شد که همه رهبران معنوی باید جامعه جهانی، مردم و دولت‌ها را برای صلح و امنیت دعوت کنند لذا به نظر می‌رسد دستیابی به سطح جدیدی از تعامل در این حوزه ضرورت دارد.

 گفتنی است، امروزه نقش جمهوری قزاقستان در ترویج گفت‌وگوی بین تمدن‌ها و بین ادیان اهمیت ویژه‌ای دارد تا حدی که نمایندگان کنگره ششم برای اجرای مشترک ابتکارات بیان شده، پیشنهاد راه‌اندازی مرکز «نظربایف» را به منظور توسعه گفت‌وگوی ادیان و تمدن‌ها را ارائه کردند. 

متن انگلیسی بیانیه پایانی هفتمین کنگره رهبران ادیان جهانی و سنتی

We, the participants of the VII Congress - spiritual leaders of world and traditional religions, politicians, heads of international organizations,

guided by our shared desire for a just, peaceful, secure and prosperous world,

affirming the importance of shared values in the spiritual and social development of humankind,

recognizing the necessity of countering and overcoming intolerance and hate speech, xenophobia, discrimination and conflicts based on ethnic, religious and cultural differences,

respecting the richness of religious and cultural diversity,

realizing that acts of charity, compassion, mercy, justice and solidarity contribute to the rapprochement of peoples and societies,

recognizing the value of education and spirituality for personal and interreligious development

affirming the importance of the role and rights of women in society,

stating that material inequality leads to discontent, social tension, conflict and crisis in our world,

recognizing the importance of addressing global challenges in our post-pandemic world, including climate change, poverty and hunger; organized crime, terrorism, and drugs,

condemning in the strongest terms the extremism, radicalism and terrorism which lead to religious persecution and the undermining of human life and dignity,

condemning the creation of hotspots of interstate and international tension in the world,

expressing serious concern about the global increase in the number of migrants and refugees in need of humanitarian assistance and protection,

expressing a firm desire to contribute to the creation of conditions for dialogue and reconciliation between conflicting parties,

realizing the urgent necessity for spiritual and political leaders to work together in addressing the challenges of our world,

welcoming all international, regional, national and local initiatives, especially the efforts of religious leaders to promote interreligious, intercultural and intercivilizational dialogue,

expressing the intention to intensify cooperation between religious communities, international, national and public institutions, and non-governmental organizations in the post-pandemic period,

reaffirming the work of the Congress of the Leaders of World and Traditional Religions as an international interreligious dialogue platform for representatives of many religions, confessions and creeds,

pointing out the opportunity of the Congress of the Leaders of World and Traditional Religions for taking further specific steps to expand interreligious intercultural and intercivilizational dialogue,

HAVE COME TO A COMMON POSITION AND DECLARE THE FOLLOWING:

We will make every effort to ensure that the Congress of the Leaders of World and Traditional Religions continues its regular activities for the benefit of peace and dialogue between religions, cultures and civilizations.

We declare that in the conditions of post-pandemic world development and the globalization of processes and security threats, the Congress of the Leaders of World and Traditional Religions plays an important role in the implementation of joint efforts to strengthen dialogue in the name of peace and cooperation, as well as the promotion of spiritual and moral values.

We recognize that the negative consequences of pandemic disease can be overcome only through joint effort, working together and helping each other.

We are convinced that the unleashing of any military conflict, creating hotspots of tension and confrontation, causes chain reactions which impair international relations.

We believe that extremism, radicalism, terrorism and all other forms of violence and wars, whatever their motivations and goals, have nothing to do with authentic religion and must be rejected in the strongest possible terms.

We strongly urge national governments and authorized international organizations to provide comprehensive assistance to all religious groups and ethnic communities that have been subjected to infringement of rights and violence by extremists and terrorists and as a result of wars and military conflicts.

We call upon world leaders to abandon all aggressive and destructive rhetoric which leads to destabilization of the world, and to cease from conflict and bloodshed in all corners of our world.

We call upon religious leaders and prominent political figures from different parts of the world tirelessly to develop dialogue in the name of friendship, solidarity and peaceful coexistence.

We advocate the active involvement of the leaders of world and traditional religions and prominent political figures in the process of conflict resolution for achieving long-term stability.

We note that pluralism in terms of differences in skin color, gender, race, language and culture are expressions of the wisdom of God in creation. Religious diversity is permitted by God and, therefore, any coercion to a particular religion and religious doctrine is unacceptable.

We call for the support of practical initiatives to implement interreligious and interdenominational dialogue, for the sake of building social justice and solidarity for all peoples.

We stand in solidarity with the efforts of the United Nations and all other international, governmental and regional institutions and organizations, promoting dialogue among civilizations and religions, states and nations.

We recognize the importance and value of the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together between the Holy See and Al-Azhar Al-Sharif (adopted by the UN General Assembly in resolution A/RES/75/200 of December 21, 2020), and the Makkah Declaration (adopted in Mecca in May 2019), which call for peace, dialogue, mutual understanding and mutual respect among believers for the common good.

We welcome the progress made by the global community in the fields of science, technology, medicine, industry and other areas yet note the importance of their harmonization with spiritual, social and human values.

We realize that social problems often push people to extreme attitudes and actions and call on all states of the world to ensure adequate living conditions for their citizens.

We note how people and societies which dismiss the importance of spiritual values and moral guidelines are susceptible to lose their humanity and creativity.

We call on world political and business leaders to focus on overcoming the imbalances in the development of modern societies and to reduce the gap in the well-being of different segments of the population and different countries of the world.

We note the positive impact of dialogue between leaders of world and traditional religions for socio-political processes in states and societies, contributing to the preservation of peace.

We proceed from the immutable fact that the Almighty created all people equal, regardless of their racial, religious, ethnic or other affiliation or social status, therefore respect for each other and mutual understanding underpin all religious teaching.

We call on political and public figures, journalists and bloggers, while recognizing their freedom of speech, to beware religious generalization and not to identify extremism and terrorism with any nation or religion, as well as not to use religions for political purposes.

We advocate increasing the role of education and religious formation, particularly among youth, in strengthening the respectful coexistence of religions and cultures and debunking dangerous pseudo-religious prejudices.

We pay special attention to the importance of strengthening the institution of the family.

We stand for the protection of the dignity and rights of women, the improvement of their social status as equal members in family and society, as well as encourage their inclusion in the peace processes in cultural and religious settings.

We note the inevitability of global digital development, as well as the importance of the role of religious and spiritual leaders in interacting with politicians in solving the problems of digital inequality.

While we respect the freedom of expression, we strive to develop a dialogue with the media and other institutions of society to clarify the significance of religious values for promoting religious knowledge, interreligious harmony and civil peace, as well as to develop general tolerance towards religions.

We appeal to all people of faith and goodwill to unite in this difficult time and contribute to ensuring security and harmony in our common home – planet Earth.

We turn to pray in support of all people of goodwill on the planet who make a significant contribution to the expansion of inter-civilizational, interreligious and international dialogue for the sake of a more prosperous world.

We call for supporting acts of mercy and compassion in regions affected by military conflict, and by both natural and man-made disasters.

We call for solidarity in the support of international organizations and national governments in their efforts to overcome the consequences of the Covid pandemic.

We affirm that the purposes of the Congress and this Declaration is to guide contemporary and future generations of humankind in promoting a culture of mutual respect and peacefulness; available for use in public administration of any country in the world, as well as by international organizations, including UN institutions.

We instruct the Secretariat of the Congress to develop a Concept for the development of the Congress of the Leaders of World and Traditional Religions as a global interreligious dialogue platform for 2023-2033.

We affirm the role of the Republic of Kazakhstan as an authoritative and global center of intercivilizational, interreligious and interfaith dialogue.
