ALFREDO MAIOLESEATTIVITÀ DIPLOMATICHE, SOCIALI E RELIGIOSE

Un percorso internazionale dedicato alla prevenzione dei conflitti, al dialogo e alla cooperazione

INTRODUZIONE

Nel corso di molti anni, Alfredo Maiolese ha sviluppato un'attività internazionale nei campi della diplomazia, della cooperazione, del dialogo interreligioso e interculturale e della prevenzione dei conflitti.

Il suo percorso si è sviluppato attraverso missioni internazionali, conferenze, incontri con rappresentanti di governi e parlamenti, autorità religiose, organizzazioni internazionali, università, associazioni e comunità civili, affiancati da una significativa attività pubblica e mediatica in Italia e all'estero.

Nell'ambito della World Organization of States – WOS-IPSP, organizzazione intergovernativa, e delle altre responsabilità istituzionali e associative ricoperte nel corso degli anni, Maiolese ha concentrato parte significativa della propria attività sulla prevenzione delle tensioni religiose e culturali, sul contrasto all'estremismo, sulla promozione della pace e sulla costruzione di strumenti di cooperazione tra istituzioni, comunità e Stati.

Articoli, interviste, documenti istituzionali e registrazioni audiovisive consentono oggi di ricostruire progressivamente questo percorso attraverso fonti italiane e internazionali.

La presente pagina costituisce pertanto un archivio storico documentale in continuo aggiornamento.

Le fonti sono presentate prevalentemente in ordine cronologico e, quando disponibile, viene fornito il collegamento diretto alla pubblicazione o al documento originale.

Somalia: dialogo istituzionale tra WOS-IPSP e la Presidenza della Camera del Popolo.....Somalia: Institutional Dialogue between WOS-IPSP and the Presidency of the House of the People

https://share.google/46JO1F6E2YmrThsHM

Il Presidente Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur ringrazia pubblicamente il Segretario Generale della WOS-IPSP per il messaggio di congratulazioni

La World Organization of States – WOS-IPSP, organizzazione intergovernativa (IGO), prosegue la propria attività di dialogo istituzionale e di rafforzamento delle relazioni con rappresentanti delle istituzioni nazionali e parlamentari, con particolare attenzione alle aree nelle quali stabilità, cooperazione e consolidamento delle istituzioni costituiscono elementi essenziali per la pace.

In questo contesto si inserisce lo scambio istituzionale con S.E. Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur, in occasione della sua elezione alla Presidenza della Camera del Popolo del Parlamento Federale della Somalia.

A seguito del messaggio di congratulazioni trasmesso dal Segretario Generale e Ambasciatore at Large della WOS-IPSP, Amb. Alfredo Maiolese, Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur ha espresso pubblicamente il proprio apprezzamento attraverso i suoi canali social ufficiali.

Nel messaggio, il Presidente ha ringraziato l'Amb. Maiolese per le congratulazioni ricevute in occasione della sua elezione, richiamando espressamente il suo ruolo di Secretary-General and Ambassador-at-Large of the World Organization of States Parliament for Safety and Peace (WOS-IPSP).

Lo scambio assume particolare significato nel quadro dell'attenzione che la WOS-IPSP dedica al Corno d'Africa, una regione strategica nella quale il rafforzamento delle istituzioni, la sicurezza, il dialogo politico e la cooperazione internazionale rimangono strettamente collegati alla costruzione di una pace duratura.

La Somalia continua infatti un complesso percorso di consolidamento delle proprie istituzioni federali, nel quale il Parlamento riveste una funzione centrale nella rappresentanza dei cittadini, nell'attività legislativa e nel processo di rafforzamento della governance nazionale.

Per la WOS-IPSP, il dialogo con le istituzioni parlamentari rappresenta uno degli strumenti attraverso i quali promuovere relazioni pacifiche tra gli Stati, rispetto della sovranità, cooperazione internazionale e prevenzione dei conflitti.

La risposta pubblica del Presidente Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur costituisce pertanto un ulteriore segnale di interlocuzione istituzionale e di reciproca considerazione, aprendo la possibilità di sviluppare nuovi contatti sui temi della pace, della sicurezza, della cooperazione e del dialogo parlamentare internazionale.

La WOS-IPSP continuerà a favorire occasioni di confronto con istituzioni e rappresentanti degli Stati, nella convinzione che il dialogo, il rispetto reciproco e la diplomazia costituiscano strumenti indispensabili per affrontare le sfide contemporanee e contribuire alla stabilità internazionale.

The World Organization of States – WOS-IPSP, an intergovernmental organization (IGO), continues its institutional dialogue and its efforts to strengthen relations with representatives of national and parliamentary institutions, with particular attention to regions where stability, cooperation and the consolidation of institutions are essential elements for peace.

Within this framework, an institutional exchange took place with H.E. Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur, on the occasion of his election as Speaker of the House of the People of the Federal Parliament of Somalia.

Following the message of congratulations conveyed by the Secretary-General and Ambassador-at-Large of WOS-IPSP, Ambassador Alfredo Maiolese, Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur publicly expressed his appreciation through his official social media channels.

In his message, the Speaker thanked Ambassador Maiolese for his kind and thoughtful congratulations on his election, expressly referring to his position as Secretary-General and Ambassador-at-Large of the World Organization of States Parliament for Safety and Peace (WOS-IPSP).

The exchange is particularly significant within the context of WOS-IPSP's attention to the Horn of Africa, a strategically important region where institutional strengthening, security, political dialogue and international cooperation remain closely connected to the pursuit of lasting peace.

Somalia continues its complex process of consolidating its federal institutions, within which Parliament plays a central role in representing citizens, carrying out legislative functions and strengthening national governance.

For WOS-IPSP, dialogue with parliamentary institutions represents one of the instruments through which peaceful relations among States, respect for sovereignty, international cooperation and conflict prevention can be promoted.

The public response of Speaker Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur therefore represents a further sign of institutional dialogue and mutual consideration, opening opportunities for developing further contacts on matters related to peace, security, cooperation and international parliamentary dialogue.

WOS-IPSP will continue to foster opportunities for dialogue with institutions and representatives of States, in the conviction that dialogue, mutual respect and diplomacy remain indispensable instruments for addressing contemporary challenges and contributing to international stability.

CHAPTER I

THE PRINCIPLE OF EQUAL SOVEREIGNTY

The principle of the sovereign equality of States has long represented one of the fundamental pillars of international relations. Regardless of differences in geography, population, economic strength or political influence, every sovereign State possesses its own identity, responsibilities and legitimate role within the international community.

The One State, One Vote Initiative is inspired by the conviction that international dialogue becomes stronger when every participating State is given the opportunity to contribute on the basis of equality, mutual respect and shared responsibility.

Equal sovereignty is not merely a legal concept. It is also a moral and diplomatic principle that encourages mutual recognition, constructive engagement and peaceful cooperation among nations.

Every State carries unique historical experiences, cultural traditions, social perspectives and development priorities. These differences should not be viewed as obstacles, but as valuable contributions capable of enriching international dialogue and strengthening collective decision-making.

The WOS-IPSP believes that durable international cooperation requires an environment in which all participating States are able to express their views, exchange experiences and contribute to common objectives in a spirit of respect and partnership.

The principle of equal sovereignty encourages confidence among nations. It promotes dialogue over confrontation, cooperation over division and shared responsibility over unilateral action.

The One State, One Vote Initiative therefore seeks to promote a culture in which every sovereign State is recognised as an active participant in building peace, encouraging sustainable development and strengthening international cooperation.

Equality among States does not eliminate diversity.

It gives diversity the opportunity to become a source of dialogue, understanding and common progress.

The future of international cooperation depends not only on the strength of individual nations, but also on their willingness to work together as equal partners in pursuit of the common good.

One State.

One Voice.

One Vote.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CHAPTER II

WHY EVERY STATE MATTERS

Every sovereign State, regardless of its size, population, geographical location or level of economic development, has the capacity to make a meaningful contribution to the international community.

History demonstrates that important initiatives for peace, mediation, humanitarian assistance, environmental protection, scientific cooperation and sustainable development have often emerged from States of different sizes and backgrounds. The value of a nation cannot be measured solely by its territory, population or economic influence.

Every State possesses unique knowledge, historical experience, cultural heritage and diplomatic perspectives that can enrich international dialogue and contribute to solving global challenges.

Recognizing the importance of every State strengthens mutual respect and encourages a more inclusive approach to international cooperation. Diversity among nations should be regarded as a source of strength rather than division.

The One State, One Vote Initiative affirms that every sovereign State deserves the opportunity to participate actively in constructive dialogue and to contribute to common objectives through cooperation, responsibility and mutual understanding.

No nation is too small to offer valuable ideas.

No people are without experience that can benefit humanity.

No sovereign State should feel that its voice is without value.

The WOS-IPSP believes that lasting peace and sustainable development become more achievable when every nation is encouraged to participate with dignity, responsibility and a genuine spirit of cooperation.

International cooperation grows stronger when every State is respected.

Dialogue becomes more meaningful when every voice is heard.

Humanity advances when every nation has the opportunity to contribute to the common good.

One State.

One Voice.

One Vote.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CHAPTER III

SMALL STATES, GLOBAL CONTRIBUTIONS

The history of international relations demonstrates that the influence of a nation cannot be measured solely by its geographical size, population or economic capacity. Throughout the world, many small and medium-sized States have made significant contributions to diplomacy, peacebuilding, humanitarian action, environmental protection, education, scientific research and sustainable development.

Innovation, dialogue and leadership are not determined by territory. They are determined by vision, commitment and the willingness to cooperate for the common good.

Small States often possess valuable experience in conflict prevention, regional cooperation, environmental resilience and community development. Their perspectives contribute to a broader understanding of global challenges and frequently inspire practical and innovative solutions.

The One State, One Vote Initiative recognizes that international cooperation becomes more balanced when every sovereign State has the opportunity to participate actively and to share its knowledge, experience and aspirations.

The contribution of smaller nations should never be underestimated. Their diplomatic initiatives, cultural diversity and commitment to peaceful cooperation enrich the international community and strengthen collective efforts to address common challenges.

The WOS-IPSP believes that a truly inclusive international dialogue values every contribution according to its merit rather than the size or influence of the State from which it originates.

By encouraging the active participation of all sovereign States, the international community benefits from a wider diversity of ideas, experiences and solutions capable of promoting peace, stability and sustainable development.

Every nation has something to contribute.

Every experience has value.

Every State can help build a better future.

One State.

One Voice.

One Vote.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CHAPTER IV

DIALOGUE BEFORE CONFLICT

Throughout history, dialogue has proven to be one of the most effective instruments for preventing conflict, reducing tensions and building lasting understanding among nations.

When States communicate openly, exchange perspectives and seek common ground, opportunities for peaceful solutions increase significantly. Dialogue creates trust, strengthens diplomatic relations and helps prevent misunderstandings from developing into disputes.

The One State, One Vote Initiative recognizes dialogue not simply as a diplomatic practice, but as a fundamental responsibility shared by all sovereign States.

Constructive dialogue requires mutual respect, attentive listening and the willingness to consider different perspectives. It encourages cooperation without requiring uniformity and promotes consensus while respecting national sovereignty.

Preventing conflict is always preferable to managing its consequences. Diplomatic engagement, mediation and continuous communication represent essential tools for maintaining international stability and promoting peaceful coexistence.

The WOS-IPSP believes that every sovereign State should have the opportunity to participate in dialogue aimed at preventing crises, encouraging cooperation and strengthening mutual confidence among nations.

A culture of dialogue contributes to peace by replacing mistrust with understanding, confrontation with communication and isolation with cooperation.

The future of international relations depends upon the ability of nations to choose dialogue before conflict and cooperation before division.

Peace begins with dialogue.

Dialogue begins with respect.

Respect begins by listening to every State.

One State.

One Voice.

One Vote.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CHAPTER V

SHARED RESPONSIBILITY FOR PEACE

Peace is not the responsibility of a single nation, nor can it be achieved through the efforts of only a few. It is a shared responsibility that calls upon every sovereign State to contribute, according to its capacities and experience, to the promotion of stability, dialogue and international cooperation.

The challenges facing humanity transcend national borders. Armed conflicts, humanitarian crises, poverty, environmental degradation, terrorism, organized crime and public health emergencies require coordinated responses based on mutual trust and collective responsibility.

The One State, One Vote Initiative affirms that every State has both the opportunity and the responsibility to contribute to a more peaceful and cooperative international community.

Shared responsibility does not diminish national sovereignty. On the contrary, it strengthens the ability of sovereign States to work together voluntarily in pursuit of common objectives while fully respecting their independence, identity and national interests.

The WOS-IPSP believes that peace is sustained through continuous cooperation, responsible leadership and the active participation of all nations willing to engage in constructive dialogue.

Building peace requires patience, mutual understanding and long-term commitment. It demands respect for diversity, confidence among nations and a genuine willingness to seek solutions that benefit the international community as a whole.

When responsibility is shared, trust grows.

When trust grows, cooperation becomes stronger.

When cooperation becomes stronger, peace becomes more sustainable.

The future of humanity depends upon the willingness of nations to recognize that lasting peace is not the achievement of one State alone, but the common responsibility of all.

One State.

One Voice.

One Vote.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CHAPTER VI

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION BEYOND SIZE

International cooperation should never be determined by the geographical size, population or economic power of a nation. The challenges of the twenty-first century require the participation of all sovereign States, each contributing its own experience, knowledge and commitment to the common good.

Every nation possesses unique strengths. Some contribute through diplomacy, others through scientific innovation, humanitarian assistance, cultural heritage, environmental stewardship or regional cooperation. Together, these diverse contributions create a stronger and more resilient international community.

The One State, One Vote Initiative promotes a model of cooperation in which participation is based on equality, mutual respect and shared responsibility rather than on differences in size or influence.

True international cooperation is built upon trust. It grows when States recognize one another as equal partners, willing to exchange ideas, develop common initiatives and support one another in addressing global challenges.

The WOS-IPSP believes that sustainable cooperation depends upon openness, inclusiveness and the recognition that every sovereign State has the capacity to make a meaningful contribution to international peace, security and development.

No nation should be defined by its limitations.

Every nation should be recognized for its potential.

When States cooperate as equals, opportunities for innovation, understanding and lasting partnerships increase for the benefit of all.

International cooperation beyond size is not an aspiration.

It is a practical pathway towards a more balanced, inclusive and peaceful international community.

One State.

One Voice.

One Vote.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CHAPTER VII

A NETWORK OF EQUAL STATES

The future of international cooperation depends upon the ability of sovereign States to work together within a framework founded on equality, mutual respect and shared responsibility.

The One State, One Vote Initiative envisions the gradual development of a global network of States committed to strengthening dialogue, encouraging peaceful cooperation and promoting practical partnerships for the benefit of present and future generations.

Such a network is not based upon hierarchy or privilege. It is founded upon the recognition that every sovereign State possesses equal dignity and the opportunity to contribute to international dialogue according to its own experience, priorities and capabilities.

A network of equal States encourages the exchange of knowledge, diplomatic experience, cultural understanding and innovative solutions to common challenges. It creates opportunities for governments to cooperate in an atmosphere of confidence, transparency and mutual respect.

The WOS-IPSP believes that stronger relationships among sovereign States contribute not only to peace and stability, but also to sustainable development, education, humanitarian cooperation and international solidarity.

Building such a network requires patience, trust and long-term commitment. It is a process founded upon dialogue, voluntary cooperation and the shared conviction that humanity benefits when nations work together as equal partners.

The One State, One Vote Initiative invites governments to become part of this vision by strengthening communication, encouraging cooperation and supporting a culture of equality among sovereign States.

Together, sovereign States can build stronger partnerships.

Together, they can promote greater understanding.

Together, they can contribute to a more peaceful, just and cooperative international community.

One State.

One Voice.

One Vote.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CONCLUSIONS

The One State, One Vote Initiative represents a vision for the future of international cooperation founded upon equality, dialogue and shared responsibility.

It is based on the belief that every sovereign State, regardless of its geographical size, population or economic capacity, possesses the right to participate with dignity in constructive international dialogue and the opportunity to contribute to the common good.

The challenges of our time require greater cooperation, broader participation and stronger mutual understanding among nations. Lasting peace cannot be built by individual efforts alone. It requires the commitment of all sovereign States working together in a spirit of respect, partnership and shared responsibility.

The WOS-IPSP believes that strengthening international dialogue begins by recognizing the equal value of every nation willing to contribute to peace, sustainable development and international cooperation.

The One State, One Vote Initiative is not simply a proposal.

It is an invitation to reflect upon the importance of equality among States and the value of inclusive international cooperation.

The future of humanity depends upon our collective ability to transform dialogue into understanding, understanding into cooperation and cooperation into lasting peace.

Every State matters.

Every voice deserves to be heard.

Every contribution has value.

Together, sovereign States can build a more peaceful, just and cooperative international community.

This White Paper will continue to evolve through future editions, reflecting new institutional contributions, diplomatic initiatives and proposals developed within the framework of the One State, One Vote Initiative.

Bridging Faiths, Advancing Human Security and Defending Human Dignity

Between late June and July 2026, Father Marco Baragli, Adviser for Cooperation of the World Organization of States (WOS) and the International Parliament for Safety and Peace (IPSP), carried out a high-level diplomatic mission across Malaysia and Singapore at a decisive moment for Malaysia’s drafting of the National Action Plan 2026–2030 against human trafficking. The mission wove together preventive diplomacy, interreligious dialogue, and the protection of human dignity, moving through Kuala Lumpur, Melaka, Terengganu, George Town, Kota Bharu, Singapore, and Johor Bahru, and engaging Buddhist, Islamic, and Christian leaders in a shared effort for peace and human security.

In Kuala Lumpur, meetings with representatives of the Maha Vihara Buddhist Temple and local Islamic authorities strengthened a true “Bridge of Peace,” grounded in mutual respect and the protection of vulnerable populations. In Melaka, the dialogue with the leaders of the historic Kampung Kling Mosque highlighted how religious heritage can serve as a social infrastructure for peaceful coexistence. In Terengganu, at the renowned Crystal Mosque, religious leaders formally asked WOS and IPSP to act as international guarantors for joint initiatives dedicated to peace and human dignity, recognizing the need for coordinated action against radicalization and extremism.

The mission then reached George Town, where the Kapitan Keling Mosque hosted a moment of profound symbolic value. Father Baragli, accompanied by his wife Anna, joined the Islamic prayer, offering a gesture of deep respect that opened a theological dialogue on the affinities between the Qur’an and the Bible. The encounter highlighted the longstanding tradition of moderation and dialogue present in many Malaysian Islamic communities, demonstrating how religious diversity can become a source of social stability and mutual understanding.

In Penang, at the celebrated Kek Lok Si Temple, Father Baragli was received by Venerable Dato’ Seri Seck Jit Heng, a leading figure of Malaysian Buddhism and President of the Malaysian Buddhist Association. The Venerable shared his vision of peace as a formative path rather than an abstract concept. He explained that the roots of violence lie in ignorance and illusion, and that only an education grounded in wisdom, compassion, and moral responsibility can build a society capable of protecting its most vulnerable members. His reflections offered the mission a profound philosophical perspective, showing how spiritual formation can become a pillar of human security and a safeguard against exploitation and injustice.

In Kota Bharu, the dialogue with Chief Monk Cru Wan Wan Cool, spiritual leader of the Tumpat district and custodian of five Siamese temples, further deepened the theme of compassion as a response to the wounds of modernity, including human trafficking. The monk condemned all forms of violence and identified greed as one of the principal roots of injustice, stressing that only a mind trained in right vision can generate a just society. The meeting concluded with a call for global cooperation among religious leaders so that the moral teachings of different traditions may become instruments of protection for the most vulnerable.

In Singapore, the mission unfolded along two complementary lines. On one side, the meeting with representatives of the Angullia Mosque focused on peaceful coexistence and human security, showing how interreligious cooperation can strengthen social resilience even in highly pluralistic urban contexts. On the other, at the Cathedral of St. Andrew, Father Baragli met Rev. Christopher Chan, one of the Christian representatives who accepted the invitation to dialogue. Their conversation addressed the role of Churches in protecting vulnerable minors, the moral responsibility of Christian communities in denouncing injustice, and the importance of broadening future participation in interreligious cooperation, while acknowledging that not all invited institutions were able to take part in the initiative. The encounter with Rev. Chan marked an important sign of openness, demonstrating that interfaith cooperation can find valuable partners even where circumstances appear challenging.

The conclusion of the interreligious itinerary in Johor Bahru reaffirmed the need for a shared commitment to defend human dignity, protect vulnerable minors, and counter the criminal networks operating across Southeast Asia. Alongside these meetings, Father Baragli launched a formal consultation to gather contributions for his final mission report, which will be submitted to the Malaysian authorities in support of the drafting of the National Action Plan 2026–2030. The consultation focused on the protection of unaccompanied minors, transparency in high-risk supply chains, and victim-centered protocols ensuring that exploited children can access justice without fear of retaliation.

This commitment to exposing cross-border trafficking networks was accompanied by reports of intimidation, threats, and coordinated defamation attempts allegedly linked to criminal groups operating along the Malaysia–Thailand border. According to information gathered during the mission, Father Baragli became the target of intimidation beginning on 22 July 2026. Reports indicated that his institutional photograph had been circulated, threatening messages had been directed to his personal phone, including references to his family, and attempts had been made to fabricate false electronic communications as part of an alleged cyber-extortion scheme. Father Baragli firmly rejected any unlawful demands, reaffirmed his intention to cooperate fully with the competent authorities, and announced that all appropriate legal measures would be pursued.

Despite these reported pressures, the World Organization of States reaffirmed its determination, emphasizing that such incidents underscore the continuing need for international oversight, victim-centered protection systems, and strengthened interreligious cooperation capable of safeguarding vulnerable communities.

The diplomatic mission in Southeast Asia reaffirmed that sustainable peace is built through dialogue, mutual respect among faith communities, the protection of human dignity, and effective international cooperation. WOS and IPSP will continue to support initiatives that strengthen human security, prevent exploitation and human trafficking, and promote peaceful coexistence among peoples, cultures, and religions. Through dialogue, cooperation, and compassion, the mission demonstrated that fraternity among religions remains one of the strongest foundations for international stability and lasting peace.

Building Bridges Between Faiths and Protecting Human Dignity: Interfaith Dialogue Concludes in Johor Bahru

Johor Bahru, Malaysia – 21 July 2026

The World Organization of States – International Parliament for Safety and Peace (WOS-IPSP), intergovernmental organization, continues to promote dialogue among religious communities as a practical instrument for strengthening peace, mutual understanding, and the protection of fundamental human rights.

The official mission carried out in Malaysia by Father Marco Baragli, Cooperation Advisor to WOS-IPSP, concluded with a meeting at the Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple in Johor Bahru. The mission, launched on 23 June 2026, included discussions with representatives of different religious traditions across the country, including Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu communities, with the objective of encouraging cooperation in support of peaceful coexistence and the protection of vulnerable people.

The final meeting was held with Maheshwara, President and Priest of the Glass Temple, who presented the Hindu perspective on respect, openness, and coexistence among different religious traditions. These principles are reflected in the temple itself, where statues representing figures from several faiths—including Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mother Teresa, and Guru Nanak—are displayed as symbols of mutual respect and spiritual harmony.

During the discussion, Maheshwara explained that the transmission of Hindu values in the Johor region is based primarily on family education, complemented by the work of local temples and spiritual teachers. He also expressed a positive assessment of Malaysia's approach to religious diversity, noting the importance of equal support for places of worship and communities while encouraging individuals to reject a mentality of victimhood and instead contribute responsibly to the common good.

A significant part of the meeting focused on combating human trafficking, one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges in the region. Referring to information collected during previous meetings in northern Malaysia, the discussion highlighted concerns regarding cross-border criminal networks and the risks faced by vulnerable people.

Maheshwara reaffirmed Hinduism's clear condemnation of every form of exploitation and emphasized that effective prevention requires strong border controls, rigorous action against criminal organizations, and continuous public awareness. Particular attention, he noted, must be dedicated to women, children, and other vulnerable groups who are frequently targeted through deceptive promises of employment, education, or improved living conditions.

The Glass Temple also presented its own contribution to prevention through weekly educational and community meetings held every Friday. Alongside spiritual guidance, these sessions address practical issues affecting daily life, including fraud prevention, financial awareness, family support, and healthy lifestyles, recognizing that informed and resilient communities are better equipped to resist exploitation.

The mission concluded with Father Marco Baragli announcing the preparation of a comprehensive analytical report summarizing the meetings held throughout Malaysia. The report will be shared with the religious leaders and institutions involved as a basis for strengthening long-term cooperation.

Through initiatives such as this, WOS-IPSP reaffirms its commitment to encouraging constructive dialogue among faith communities, supporting the protection of human dignity, safeguarding the most vulnerable, and promoting international cooperation as essential foundations for lasting peace.

Statement by the Secretary-General of WOS-IPSP

The Secretary-General of the World Organization of States – International Parliament for Safety and Peace (WOS-IPSP), an intergovernmental organization, Ambassador Alfredo Maiolese, expressed his appreciation for the work carried out throughout the mission:

"Dialogue among faith communities is one of the most effective instruments for preventing conflicts, promoting respect for human dignity, and strengthening cooperation among peoples. The mission conducted in Malaysia confirms that sincere engagement between different religious traditions can generate concrete initiatives in support of peace, the protection of fundamental human rights, and the safeguarding of the most vulnerable. WOS-IPSP will continue to support every effort that fosters mutual understanding and contributes to the building of more just, secure, and inclusive societies."
