| Mostar Honours Mawlana Hazar Imam: A Bridge for Peace and Unity |
Mostar’s Center for Peace and Multiethnic Cooperation honoured Mawlana Hazar Imam with its Peace Connection Award. The Mostar Peace Connection Award was established in 2004 to recognise individuals and organisations that demonstrate a strong commitment to peace, cooperation and understanding worldwide. Previous recipients include, amongst others, Nelson Mandela, Mohamed ElBaradei and António Guterres. “His Highness’s entire life has been dedicated to a humanitarian mission to preserve the highest values of humanity,” said Safet Orusevic, Director of Mostar’s Center for Peace and Multiethnic Cooperation and former Mayor of Mostar from 1992-1996. “This Award is a symbolic gesture of our gratitude for your support of our city and people in the most challenging times.” Prince Rahim accepted the awards on behalf of Hazar Imam at a presentation ceremony at the Diwan of the Ismaili Imamat in Lisbon.

"But cultural history is only one part of this story. A central premise of our work is that cultural enrichment and historic restoration can also be effective springboards for economic and social progress. Rather than being a drain on fragile economies, as some once feared, investment in cultural legacies can be a powerful agent in improving the quality of human life." Mawlana Hazar Imam, Delhi, India, September 2013 |
