ISLAMABAD :  President Dr Arif Alvi said with wars and conflicts resulting in the massacre of innocent people, the world needed a unified approach to saving humanity from the violence of the powerful.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPower of intellect should be the world order taking precedence over the violent forces which quash the spirit of humanity and justice,\u201d he said at the Annual Margalla Dialogue 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event themed \u2018Evolving world environment: Charting the course of our future\u2019 gathered diplomats, thinkers, and intellectuals from various countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Alvi said dehumanizing people had become a norm in the world where vested interests prevailed over humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
War, he said, was not a solution to resolve any conflict and always resulted in a never-ending vicious cycle of violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He pointed out that using the right of veto against the cessation of war questioned the ethical standards of the countries concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Gaza, he said the massive killings of Palestinians committed by Israel needed urgent attention by the international community to act and play its role in stopping the bloodshed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said Israel, in its justification to eliminate Hamas was \u201ckilling the Palestinians like savages\u201d and calling the colossal deaths as collateral damage\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president mentioned that the world after several war-related deaths in Europe arrived at the culmination of peace treaties and bodies like the League of the Nations and the United Nations (UN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He emphasized the role of the UN in waging peace initiatives to prevent disputes from escalating into conflicts and an effective mechanism to stop wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides conflicts, he said, the world faced several threats affiliated with climate change, artificial intelligence, negative social narratives, unequal wealth distribution, and dissatisfied mankind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe realistic solutions to these challenges need international cooperation requiring the adoption of viable systems and also embedding ethical morality into approach,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President of IPRI Dr Raza Muhammad said as the world grappled with both natural and man-made disasters, it was time for a collective approach to save humanity from emanating the risks involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He highlighted the need for a global focus on conflict resolution, the economy, and climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, President Dr Arif Alvi and the guests in attendance observed a one-minute silence for the innocent people of Palestine who faced the barbaric acts of Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
