Un Calcio alla Guerra nella sua edizione del 28 dicembre 2025 rappresenta per il WOS-IPSP non un evento isolato ma una vera pietra miliare di un percorso permanente fondato sul dialogo sulla responsabilità e sulla pace vissuta nei territori
La partecipazione istituzionale il coinvolgimento delle amministrazioni locali delle comunità sportive e della società civile hanno dimostrato che lo sport può diventare uno strumento credibile di diplomazia umana capace di unire popoli generazioni e culture diverse
Per queste ragioni Un Calcio alla Guerra non si conclude con la sua seconda edizione ma da Genova prende avvio un percorso strutturato che guarda con determinazione alla Terza Edizione con l’obiettivo di consolidare quanto costruito e rafforzare una rete internazionale orientata alla pace
In questo cammino si inserisce anche il contributo della European Muslims League che ha sostenuto l’iniziativa come spazio di dialogo e convivenza tra comunità diverse
Come ha ricordato l’Ambasciatore at Large del WOS-IPSP e Presidente della European Muslims League Alfredo Maiolese Un Calcio alla Guerra non è un evento che si esaurisce in un giorno ma un impegno che continua nel tempo perché la pace va costruita praticata e trasmessa soprattutto alle nuove generazioni
Il WOS-IPSP considera questa iniziativa parte integrante della propria missione istituzionale e intende accompagnarne lo sviluppo come modello replicabile di cooperazione dialogo e responsabilità umana

Global Security Challenges in 2025: The Role of WOS-IPSP in Conflict Prevention


In 2025, the international security landscape is more complex than ever. Regional conflicts, cyber threats, humanitarian crises, and instability linked to climate change are intertwined, putting the foundations of global peace at risk.
In this context, organizations such as the World Organization of States – International Parliament for Safety and Peace (WOS-IPSP) play a crucial role in promoting dialogue, mediation, and preventive diplomacy.

Emerging Global Security Challenges

The new decade has seen the evolution of threats in multiple forms:

1. Regional conflicts and instability – Ongoing crises in the Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe continue to generate tensions, causing mass migrations and endangering international stability.


2. Cybersecurity and hybrid warfare – Cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns have become powerful tools in modern conflicts, targeting critical infrastructure and influencing public opinion.


3. Humanitarian and migration crises – Armed conflicts and economic collapse are forcing millions to flee their homelands, creating new security and social challenges for host countries.


4. Climate change as a driver of instability – Environmental degradation and resource scarcity are increasingly recognized as triggers of tensions and conflicts, particularly in the most vulnerable regions.



These overlapping challenges demand a coordinated global response that goes beyond traditional state diplomacy.

The Role of International Organizations in Conflict Prevention

International and non-governmental organizations are fundamental actors in what is known as “preventive diplomacy.”
They provide platforms for dialogue, facilitate negotiations, and connect governments, civil society, and local communities in high-risk areas.
Parliamentary and intergovernmental networks such as WOS-IPSP are unique tools for fostering informal mediation and building trust where official channels are limited.

WOS-IPSP’s Commitment to Global Peace

The mission of WOS-IPSP is to act as a bridge between nations, institutions, and peoples, promoting security and peace.
Among its key initiatives:

Opening new offices and international representations to strengthen its diplomatic presence.

Collaborating with governments and multilateral bodies to address security challenges and humanitarian crises.

Organizing global forums, such as the upcoming International Congress in Hong Kong (November 2025), which will serve as a high-level platform for dialogue on security and sustainable peace.


Through strategic partnerships and preventive actions, WOS-IPSP contributes to reducing the risk of conflict escalation and promoting long-term stability.
With global security threats becoming increasingly interconnected, proactive cooperation is essential.
Through its diplomatic initiatives and unwavering commitment to dialogue, WOS-IPSP reaffirms its role as a key actor in promoting peace and preventing conflicts, offering the international community a platform for collaboration in an era of uncertainty.

ROME, ITALY


“Defending Religious Freedom Means Defending Peace”


Rome, 30 July 2025 –


The Secretary General of the World Organization of States – International Parliament for Safety and Peace (WOS-IPSP), H.E. Alfredo Maiolese, has expressed deep concern over the growing number of incidents of religious intolerance and persecution in various regions of the world.


> “When a religious community is persecuted or a place of worship is desecrated,

it is not only an act against faith but an offense to the very dignity of humanity.

Defending religious freedom means defending peace,”

said Maiolese.

In recent months, international reports have denounced:

Rising Islamophobia and antisemitism in Europe and North America

Attacks on churches and Christian communities in the Middle East and Africa

Restrictions on freedom of worship in several Asian countries

The WOS-IPSP urges the international community, as well as religious and academic institutions, to:

1. Openly condemn all forms of religious persecution

2. Ensure the protection of places of worship and vulnerable minorities

3. Promote interreligious dialogue as a tool for peace

4. Collaborate at the diplomatic and legal level to safeguard freedom of faith everywhere

“Respect for religious freedom is the cornerstone of peaceful coexistence among peoples.

Where faith is silenced, sooner or later peace will also fade,”

concluded Maiolese.

The WOS-IPSP also announces the upcoming International Conference on Religious Freedom and Interfaith Dialogue, scheduled for Autumn 2025 in Rome, with the participation of religious leaders and diplomats from around the world.


Difendere la libertà religiosa significa difendere la pace”

Roma, 30 luglio 2025 –

Il Segretario Generale del World Organization of States – International Parliament for Safety and Peace (WOS-IPSP), S.E. Alfredo Maiolese, ha espresso profonda preoccupazione per l’aumento di episodi di intolleranza e persecuzione religiosa in diverse regioni del mondo.


“Quando una comunità religiosa viene perseguitata o un luogo di culto profanato,

non è solo un atto contro la fede, ma un’offesa alla dignità stessa dell’umanità.

Difendere la libertà religiosa significa difendere la pace,”

ha dichiarato Maiolese.

Negli ultimi mesi, rapporti internazionali hanno denunciato:

Crescente islamofobia e antisemitismo in Europa e Nord America

Attacchi a chiese e comunità cristiane in Medio Oriente e Africa

Restrizioni alla libertà di culto in diversi Paesi asiatici

Il WOS-IPSP invita la comunità internazionale, le istituzioni religiose e accademiche a:

1. Condannare apertamente ogni forma di persecuzione religiosa

2. Garantire la protezione dei luoghi di culto e delle minoranze vulnerabili

3. Promuovere il dialogo interreligioso come strumento di pace

4. Collaborare a livello diplomatico e legale per tutelare la libertà di fede ovunque

 “Il rispetto della libertà religiosa è il fondamento della convivenza pacifica tra i popoli.

Dove la fede viene messa a tacere, prima o poi si spegne anche la pace,”

ha concluso Maiolese

Il WOS-IPSP annuncia inoltre la prossima convocazione di una Conferenza Internazionale per la Libertà Religiosa e il Dialogo tra Fedi, prevista per l’autunno 2025 a Roma, con la partecipazione di leader religiosi e diplomatici da tutto il mondo.
