UPF remains committed to the promotion of mutual respect, cooperation and peace among the peoples and nations of Europe and Eurasia. We call upon our political leaders, including heads of state and parliamentarians, as well as representatives of civil society, and religious leaders---Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim and others---to come together in dialogue, raising their voices in a call for peace and an end to the violence. UPF, an NGO in general consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, affirms the efforts of the United Nations and the Security Council, and the General Assembly, to bring about a diplomatic solution to this crisis. In addition, the UPF community is committed to doing all that it can to bring about a swift resolution of this tragic conflict. In particular, we encourage, and are prepared to support programs dedicated to the search for a ceasefire, withdrawal of military forces, and a return to dialogue. UPF’s primary associations---International Summit Council for Peace; International Association of Parliamentarians for Peace; Interreligious Association for Peace and Development---are prepared to engage with partners toward this end. If we engage together on constructive, respectful dialogue, we can make a difference. Thomas G. Walsh, Chairman, Universal Peace Federation International
