ICRC Envoy Asks for Increased Tolerance among World Nations
TEHRAN (FNA)- A representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Iran, Rania Machlab, said the world nations are becoming growingly less tolerant and this has led to a surge in global terrorist activities.
"I think the world is becoming less tolerant, and the people want to separate (from) each other, she said, adding that "boundaries and borders mean a lot. I think this is the cause of such (terrorist) attacks."
She went on to say that the ICRC deals with the consequences of war, and seeks to protect human beings from such phenomena as chemical weapons, mines, etc.
Machlab made the remarks on the sidelines of the International Conference on the Global Fight against Terrorism, which kicked off in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on Saturday.
Presidents of Sudan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Iraq as well as senior dignitaries and officials from 60 world states and world bodies, including the UN, are in Tehran for the two-day conference on Global Fight against Terrorism.
The chief executives of a number of states, including the Armenian president, are also due to join the conference tomorrow.
The event, arranged under the slogan of "A World Without Terrorism", is aimed at increasing international convergence and coordination in fighting terrorism.
