International Partnership
Religions for Peace is a global interfaith movement composed of six regional bodies: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, and North America. Across these six regions, 104 Interreligious Councils (IRCs) form a dynamic and coordinated network for peacebuilding and interfaith cooperation.
Our Interreligious Councils (IRCs) are the primary mechanism through which we bring together representatives from diverse religious traditions. These leaders mobilize believers of all faiths to collaborate in addressing pressing regional challenges such as conflict, inequality, environmental degradation, and humanitarian crises.
By activating this global network, Religions for Peace empowers local religious communities to carry out grassroots initiatives tailored to their cultural and social context. These efforts not only respond to immediate needs but also foster long-term trust, mutual understanding, and enduring partnerships rooted in shared spiritual values.
Religions for Peace Japan actively contributes to this global interfaith network, working in solidarity with IRCs around the world to promote peace, justice, and human dignity.
