The Coalition followed with deep sorrow the tragic consequences of the fires: loss of life, injuries, severe material and environmental damage, and the displacement of families from the affected areas. In the face of this tragedy, the Coalition:

  • Expresses its full and sincere solidarity with the Algerian people and offers its heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims.
  • Wishes a swift and full recovery to all the injured, and stands with the families forced to leave their homes.
  • Affirms that human solidarity in times of disaster is not a choice but a shared moral duty, and that human life, dignity and safety must remain the international community’s first priority.
  • Calls for stronger regional and international cooperation on preventing and responding to fires and natural disasters, sharing expertise, and developing early-warning and rapid-response systems.

The Coalition also calls on civil society and humanitarian and charitable organizations to provide every possible form of support to those affected, in the spirit of human solidarity.

Address by the President, Dr. Abdelhakim Hajouji

“Ethics and Human Values in a Changing World: Towards a Future Vision of Peace and Human Security”, in four parts: a conceptual framework for ethics, values, peace and human security; current global shifts (globalization, the digital revolution and AI, international conflicts, environmental crises); human values as the foundation of peace (dignity, justice, tolerance, dialogue, solidarity); and a forward-looking vision based on education for global citizenship, dialogue between civilizations, ethics of AI, reform of global governance and a global ethical charter.

Statement

Statement condemning the closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque to worshippers

The Coalition expressed deep concern and strong condemnation of the occupation authorities’ closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque to worshippers during the holy month.

Read the statementHide details

The closure is a flagrant violation of the human values and universal principles that guarantee freedom of worship and the protection of holy sites, and an attack on religious pluralism and coexistence protected by international law and human rights instruments. The Coalition therefore declares:

  • Its strong condemnation of the closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque, a serious violation of freedom of religion and of the sanctity of places of worship.
  • Its categorical rejection of all forms of religious or ethnic discrimination targeting the Palestinian people.
  • Its call on the international community and human rights institutions to assume their legal and moral responsibilities to guarantee free access to holy sites.
  • The need to protect the religious and historical character of Al-Aqsa Mosque and to stop all attempts to alter its status quo or identity.
  • A renewed call to promote respect for holy sites and the values of justice and fairness.

“Respecting freedom of religion and protecting holy sites is not a passing political matter, but a universal moral and human commitment that admits no compromise or double standards.” – Dr. Abdelhakim Hajouji, President of the Coalition.
