New Ideas from the Old Citysnippet-
The Second Jerusalem Summit will take place on November 27-30, 2004 and will focus on developing a Humanitarian Solution to the Middle East Conflict.
Jerusalem Summit-2004 will also offer innovative ideas in several fields which are crucial for advancement of democracy and overcoming the global threats:
* Liberation of Moslem Women as Means of Changing the Totalitarian Regimes
* Use of Technology in Fighting Poverty
* Interpreting Koran in the Spirit of Tolerance
* Improving Democratic Voting System
Jerusalem Summit 2004 will also develop a new concept, the Council of Civilizations, which we expect to evolve into a new model for the unity of nations.summit link

It is the civilizations that, with their distinct cultures and religious philosophies, are the real players on the world stage, and conflicts between them are the most dangerous and destructive. In the Council they will be represented by individuals who carry moral and intellectual authority with their respective civilizations.
Principles of the Council of Civilizations, Gathering representatives of the civilizations (not governments) which are shaping the fate of humanity: superpowers and clusters of countries with common cultures. Agreeing on the existence and definition of the common moral basis: the universal ethical laws. Searching solutions to the burning global problems on the basis of these values.
Three-fold actions:
1. Facilitate synergy of civilizations and search for morality-based solutions.
2. Propagate these solutions and advise governments to adopt them.
3.Advance Global Education to Universal Moral Values.
1. The spiritual laws that serve as common basis to all religions must also serve as basis for taking decisions in all the human activities. Most important of these laws are:
Consciousness defines Being
Human life is sacred
People have equal rights and freedoms
Religions are diverse and all equally lead to GodDouble
