Universal Peace Federation is an NGO in General Consultative Status with the UN ECOSOC. Together with our global network of ambassadors for peace we are working towards building a more peaceful world.

Universal Peace Federation Honors the United Nations and Its Legacy of Peace

This week, as we observe UN Disarmament Week and the 80th Anniversary of the United Nations, we reflect on eight decades of commitment to global dialogue, cooperation, and security. The Universal Peace Federation (UPF) reaffirms its support for the UN’s vision for a world united through service, moral leadership, and dialogue. This reminds us that lasting peace begins with faith in human dignity and shared responsibility.

October has long been significant in UPF’s history. In 2005, Founders Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon inaugurated the Baltic region in Vilnius, Lithuania, declaring that true freedom exists for the common good. Their tour continued to Warsaw and Prague, spreading messages of moral renewal and peace. UPF has since hosted interfaith conferences in Israel, African peace conferences, and youth initiatives across Europe and Asia, demonstrating that dialogue, education, and collaboration are vital for reconciliation and unity.

Today, Ambassadors for Peace and partner organizations continue this work worldwide through forums, interfaith dialogues, and volunteer programs. Many align their efforts with UN Disarmament Week, emphasizing that peace is not only the reduction of weapons but also the moral act of disarming prejudice and fear. UPF’s message remains clear: global peace begins with individual conscience and service, and connecting local action with international ideals makes the dream of a peaceful world a reality.

Religious Leaders Unite for Faith
and Freedom

On October 16, 2025, the Universal Peace Federation (UPF), FFWPU-Capital Family Church, and ACLC hosted the “Peace Starts With Me Alliance” Religious Freedom Prayer Luncheon at The Washington Times building. Despite only a week’s notice, 40 faith and community leaders gathered to support religious liberty and interfaith solidarity, focusing on the detention of Mother Han, co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, and other Christian leaders in South Korea.

Dr. Achile Acolatse, Southeast Region Director, called the gathering an urgent reminder to defend freedom of faith, while Dr. Michael Jenkins, UPF-North America President, highlighted Mother Han’s decades-long work promoting peace, dialogue, and humanitarian efforts. Leaders from Christianity, Islam, and Sikhism offered prayers, shared messages of solidarity, and coordinated special prayer services to advocate for justice and freedom.

The event exemplified the unifying power of faith, showing that when communities come together, they can inspire hope, protect religious rights, and advance peace for all.

We, The World Remembers Dr. Jane Goodall – Messenger of Peace, Champion of People, Animals and the Planet – Longtime Friend, Supporter of We, The World and Launch Partner of 11 Days of Global Unity – Extended Interview – #Urgency4Action

Austin Tang — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 15:21:20 +0000

NEW YORK, NY – October 3, 2025

We, The World at WE.net, a global coalition-building organization promoting changemakers working for peace, justice, sustainability and transformation, remembers Dr. Jane Goodall – a UN Messenger of Peace, and a Champion of People, Animals and the Planet. She was a longtime Friend and Supporter of We, The World. And Dr. Jane Goodall was a Launch Partner and Participant in We, The World’s signature event: The Annual 11 Days of Global Unity Summit – September 11th – 21st – A Worldwide Convergence of Movement Leaders Raising Consciousness & Calling for Action – #Urgency4Action.

Every year We, The World collaborates with Roots & Shoots – Dr. Jane Goodall’s Youth Organization, active in over 70 countries. Roots & Shoots was a major Partner in the launch of We, The World’s Youth Program An Urgent Message From Your Children.

We, The World is part of an extensive alliance known as Unite 4 Peace, many of whose members, and their Partners have collaborated with Dr. Jane Goodall. These groups regularly produce major newsworthy programs – especially during September and October, generally in celebration of the UN International Day of Peace September 21st. Many of them participate in 11 Days of Global Unity and Peace Week and ALL are actively collaborating with Unity Earth at Unity.Earth and We, The World at WE.net. Many groups and events of the Unite 4 Peace Alliance can be found here: The Evolutionary Leaders Synergy Circle Current Programs. Though not often covered in the Press, this movement actually has millions of followers working to achieve Peace and Unity!

More than a conference, We, The World’s Annual 11 Days of Global Unity Summit is an international Movement of Movements, featuring Visionary Leaders, Movement Activists, Profound Dialogues, and Bold Calls To Action! Thematic Programs are based on the 11 Campaigns For Change: Unity, Interdependence, Environment, Economic Justice, Health, Children & Youth, Women, Human Rights, Freedom, Disarmament and Peace.

In 2024, Dr. Jane Goodall publicly congratulated We, The World on the 20^th Anniversary of 11 Days of Global Unity, which she helped to launch. At 11DaysOfGlobalUnity.org you can see an extended interview with Dr. Jane Goodall and We, The World Founder Rick Ulfik in which she even talks about Interspecies Communication!

This year, Founder Rick Ulfik said, “For 11 transformative days, distinguished thought leaders such as Audrey Kitagawa and Anna Ikeda, Kurt Johnson and Roger Briggs, Monica Willard and Fumi Johns Stewart, Gary Malkin and Tezikiah Gabriel offered solutions and worked to accelerate action for people and the planet around the 11 Campaigns, which together represent a Blueprint For Global Transformation.” To watch the 11 Days Summit Broadcasts, including the Featured interview with Dr. Jane Goodall go to https://11daysofglobalunity.org

This year’s 11 Days of Global Unity Highlights include:

Freedom Panelists, including Kurt Johnson and Roger Briggs who convened an Alliance of 125 Conscious Media Organizations, examine How Media Influences Democracy & Freedom at a time when many are frightened by the erosion of Rights, Law, Democracy & Freedom in the USA.
Peace Panelists including the renowned Audrey Kitagawa (The International Academy for Multicultural Cooperation) and Anna Ikeda (Campaigner for ICAN which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize) as well as Ira Helfand (a two-time Nobel Peace Prize Laureate) – all working to abolish Nuclear Weapons.

Becky Suzik marking the 80th Anniversary of the Hiroshima & Nagasaki Atomic Bombings, and Voices for a Nuclear Weapons Free World on the UN International Day of Peace (September 21^st).
One of our courageous Children & Youth Panelists organized over 200 concealed schools for girls and women hidden from the Taliban, which bans education of girls and women. The Taliban recently suspended the Internet in ALL of Afghanistan in response to such attempts of women and girls to get education.

Listen to “Ephraim Isaac, the first professor of Afro-American studies at Harvard University. In recognition of his merits, the Ephraim Isaac Prize for” on Spreaker.

He was the first professor of Afro-American studies at Harvard University. In recognition of his merits, the Ephraim Isaac Prize for Excellence in African Languages is given annually to the Harvard graduate who writes the best essay in African studies.

Early life
Isaac was born to an Ethiopian mother and a Yemeni Jewish father in Wolega Kifele Hager, Nejo, Ethiopia, in 1936. His actual date of birth is unknown. In high school, he randomly chose 29 May as his nominal birthday. He received his early education in Ethiopia.

Career
Isaac has been a professor at various universities and has published scholarly articles and books. He was the first faculty appointment in Harvard University’s Department of African and Afro-American Studies in 1969, and he played an important role in the early history of the department. Committed to this emerging field of scholarship, Isaac continued as a faculty member until 1977 and taught almost half of the students enrolled in the program.

Isaac has also lectured at:

Princeton University Department of Near Eastern Studies, 1983–1985; introduced the first African language course in 1984; was visiting professor of religion and African American studies 1995–2001; and remains a fellow of Butler College.
Hebrew University (ancient Semitic languages)
University of Pennsylvania (religion, Semitic languages)
Howard University (Divinity School)
Lehigh University (religion)
Bard College (religion, history)
His subjects range from those mentioned above to Biblical Hebrew, rabbinic literature, Ethiopian history, the concept and history of slavery and ancient African civilizations. He was a fellow at the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute for Advanced Studies. He has been a fellow at Harvard University’s W. E. B. Du Bois Research Institute (1985–1986) and at the Center of Theological Inquiry at Princeton (1989–1992).

Isaac had a long-running dispute with the president of Harvard regarding the denial of his strong nomination for tenure by the then Department of African American Studies. After several appeals by the president of Harvard to drop the charges, Isaac won a major victory when the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston ruled in his favor by that rejected the president’s appeal, after which the president proposed to settle the case out of court, offering Isaac a fellowship position and paying all legal fees.

In November 2021, Canadian author Jeff Pearce leaked a video that appeared to show Isaac in a virtual meeting with Eleni Gabre-Madhin and several Western diplomats working to topple Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government to create a transitional government in favor of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) during the Tigray War. Despite both being able to refute the allegations, they were barred from traveling to Ethiopia, and a wide range of condemnation came from within Ethiopia and its diaspora.

Peace contributions and activities
Contributions

As a peace activist, Isaac has made important contributions to peace and reconciliation. He founded an ad hoc Peace Committee at a critical stage in 1989. The committee – a dozen Ethiopian elders – facilitated bilateral negotiations between the government and conflicting parties at home and abroad. This created a forum for a peaceful resolution to the violence and bloody conflict. The committee accelerated the July 1991 end of the 30-year civil war in the Horn of Africa. The committee also helped raise funds to defray the cost of the Addis Ababa Conference for a Peaceful and Democratic Transition at the end of the war. A transitional government of Ethiopia was formed, and the Transitional Council later became the Parliament of Ethiopia. He participated in the conference as an observer, and gave one of the three concluding addresses. In 1992, he organized, with the help of fellow elders, Dr. Haile Sellasie Belay and Dr. Tilahun Beyene, an international teleconference of religious reconciliation – with eight conflicting Ethiopian archbishops and several other religious leaders. It resulted in the resolution of serious religious disputes that arose among the archbishops of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church regarding church administration and appointment of a patriarch.

Between 1998 and 2000, he led an Ethio-Eritrean peace delegation to Ethiopia and Eritrea during the tragic war between the two. This delegation was the only group from the region that both sides found acceptable or welcome. Since 2007, he has promoted reconciliation and repatriation of several Ethiopian and Somali liberation front movements in exile. In 2007, he negotiated the release of 30 Ethiopian political leaders and members of parliament. Isaac has also negotiated the release of about 35,000 prisoners and has helped organize inter-political party dialogues, an election board, national police chiefs and justices seminars. This was done in cooperation with the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York and other experts, and an interfaith symposium to promote the value of democratic and human rights to strengthen peace and reconciliation efforts. In 2009, he was actively engaged behind the scenes in the Ethiopian government treaty with a major branch of the Ogaden National Liberation Front. In 2012, he was involved with the release of two kidnapped Germans and in 2013, the release of two Swedish journalists. He continues his peace and reconciliation work.

Activities
Isaac is currently the international chair of the Horn of Africa Board of Peace and Development Organization (Addis Ababa, Asmara) and the former president of the Yemenite Jewish Federation of America. He founded (1960), and was chair of the Committee for Ethiopian Literacy, the first African/Ethiopian federal tax-exempt organization: the National Literacy Campaign of Ethiopia (NCLO), for which he was executive director from 1967 to 1974, which made millions literate in the late 1960s. In 1959, he organized the founding meeting of the Ethiopian Students Association in North America (ESANA) in Chicago, becoming the first president of the organization.

He is on editorial boards of two international scholarly journals: Journal of Afroasiatic Languages and Second Temple Jewish Literature. Isaac is a member of the board or advisory council of several interfaith and intercultural groups and organizations, nationally and internationally. These include the Temple of Understanding, the Institute of Religion and Public Policy, Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding, Princeton Fellowship in Prayer, Institute for Jewish Community Research, and the Oxford Forum in England. In this capacity, Isaac has contributed to numerous peace and reconciliation dialogues in the Middle East, Africa and Ireland.

In the 1980s he was an active member of the Harvard-Radcliffe Alumni Association against Apartheid. He was nominated twice to the Harvard University Board of Overseers on an Anti-apartheid slate along with fifteen other distinguished Harvard alumni, including those who struggled against South African Apartheid and Archbishop Tutu. In 1993 (Chicago, IL) he was a signatory to the groundbreaking Document Toward a Global Ethic along with the Dalai Lama, the late Joseph Cardinal Bernardin of Chicago, and others, as a Jewish delegate to the Parliament of World’s Religions and a member of the about 150 Assembly of Religious and Spiritual Leaders. He was the first to propose in October 1993 to the Parliament the idea of a “united nations” of world religions (UR) to promote world peace and prosperity. Between 1994 and 2005 (New York, NY), he was an active member of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy at the height of their involvement with the Northern Ireland peace process. In 2004 (Amman, Jordan) he contributed to peace meetings as a member of the peace delegation of Peacemakers in Action of the Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding, sponsored by Prince Hassan Ibn Talal with the Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding. In 2005 (Amman, Jordan) Isaac also contributed to other peace-building symposia among the three followers of the Religio
