THE UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD
The MEDITERRANEAN FOUNDATION, since its creation in 1990 immediately after the fall of the Berlin Wall, has taken as one of its main objectives the establishment of the "UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD": from an intuition of Gustavo Rol.
The activities carried out over the last three decades by the Foundation - particularly in the area of the "Greater Mediterranean" - bear witness to a constant and concrete action that, precisely in these difficult times of war and pandemic, is an anchor of salvation to strengthen the spirit of peace and cooperation between peoples.
The adhesions of men and women, organisations and institutions from various countries contribute to supporting the institutional initiative by pursuing concrete objectives and effective means for the defence of the planet, respect for the fundamental rights of the human person, the coexistence of philosophies, faiths and religions, the fair distribution of goods and resources, the union of science and politics for the salvation of humanity and against all wars.

The 7th World Peace Forum will be organized in cooperation with the Office of Presidential Special Envoy for Interfaith and Inter-Civilizational Dialogue and Cooperation of Republic of Indonesia and bears a great theme namely “The Middle Path for the New World Civiliziation”, to respond the current situation where crisis of civilization is taking place in many parts of the world. Such crisis of civilization is rooted at the dynamic world system that put human interest as the solely purpose of human being to become an unfortunate object of human exploitation. This situation has created many problems such as climate change, food insecurity, energy scarcity, natural disasters, war, and economic as well as financial crisis. This also encouraged the emergence of secularism, and extremism, that become world-dominated ideology and worse, at the same time the world is also experiencing disorder from global to local, from ethnic conflicts to wars. Undoubtedly, our world needs a new approach to promote world peace. In this juncture, this year’s Forum will discuss that new approach namely the Middle Path.
This was the main theme of the 7th World Peace Forum on interreligious dialogue, held in Jakarta from August 14 to 16, in which 43 countries participated with religious leaders, academics and thinkers, scholars and activists.
The Foundation supports this initiative, also in the life of the World Peace Forum scheduled in Naples in July 2019, which was presented on this occasion together with the United States of the World, whose "Standard Bearers" titles were awarded to the participants at the meeting.
