Paris, France – The Inter-University Higher Academic Council (IUHAC) in collaboration with the International Charitable Foundation for Humanitarian Interaction (ICF) has launched the “Ambassador for Peace Passport,” a symbolic initiative that transcends borders. Though it is often mistaken for a travel document, this passport represents far more. It is a testament to individuals’ dedication to global peace, humanitarian work, and social progress, recognizing those making tangible contributions to a better world.
Awarded to recipients of the honorary title “Ambassador for Peace,” the passport is not a legal travel document but serves as a symbol of their commitment to fostering peace, advocating for social justice, and advancing humanitarian efforts. These individuals, selected for their impact in diplomacy, education, science, and social service, are recognized for promoting dialogue and cooperation across cultures, underscoring their role in international peacebuilding.
More Than a Symbol: A Commitment to Peace
The Ambassador for Peace Passport highlights the collaboration between IUHAC and ICF to support peace efforts. More than a symbolic title, it represents practical engagement in global peace initiatives. Prof. Shanti Jayasekara, President of the ICF, called it “a beacon of hope,” emphasizing that peace requires understanding, compassion, and mutual respect among all people.
For recipients, the passport is a recognition of their leadership and social contributions, particularly in fields like science, education, and diplomacy, where innovative solutions to global challenges are vital. Scientists working on sustainable development, public health, and environmental conservation, for example, are recognized not only for their professional achievements but also for their broader social impact.
A Tool for Global Influence
The value of the Ambassador for Peace Passport extends beyond personal recognition—it offers opportunities for global engagement. Ambassadors can attend high-profile events, access international networks, and participate in programs designed to enhance their impact. With support from IUHAC and ICF, recipients gain access to training, networking, and advocacy resources that empower them to influence policy, lead grassroots campaigns, and contribute to international peace dialogues.
A Global Movement for Peace
Through the issuance of this passport, IUHAC and ICF underscore their commitment to recognizing and empowering individuals dedicated to peace and social advancement. The passport strengthens a global network of peace advocates, encouraging collaboration on projects aimed at conflict resolution, peace education, and sustainable development.
As global challenges persist, the Ambassador for Peace Passport serves as both recognition and a call to action. With the support of IUHAC and ICF, these Ambassadors are equipped to lead the way in shaping a future rooted in cooperation, tolerance, and harmony.
