Building and Promoting Trust for Peaceful and Inclusive Societies
On 22 September 2015, UNITAR New York Office (NYO) in collaboration with Yale University, Yale Divinity School, organised a side event on Building and Promoting Trust for Peaceful and Inclusive Societies; a social cohesion and inclusive societies initiative. In the energised environment of the General Assembly, the Papal Visit, the launch of the 2030 Agenda, and the US Leadership Summit to Counter ISIL and Violent Extremism, this event was considered by the many diplomats attending to be most timely and relevent.
For almost two hours, scholars, practitioners and diplomats were engaged in spririted presentations and thought-provoking dialogue on the complexities of building trust, its crucial role in developing relations and building peace, and as a critical strategy for addressing extremism and for fostering peaceful and inclusive societies.
