Who proclaimed 2001 as the 'Year of Dialogue'?

   Pope John Paul II
   United Nations
   European Union
   Council of Europe

Your answer was: Council of Europe.


Answer: The Assembly of the United Nations proclaimed 2001 as the 'Year of Dialogue'. The Assembly expressed its firm determination to facilitate and promote dialogue among civilizations and invited governments, international organizations and non-governmental organizations to implement appropriate programs and promote the concept of such a dialogue. However, that dialogue must occur within the framework of the United Nations Charter and other international legal norms of universal validity, to assure peace and stability in today's world. The international community must not allow such concepts as the newly popular "clash of civilizations" theory, to become self-fulfilling prophecies.
