The Abu Dhabi Declaration on Human Fraternity: A Counter-Model for Interreligious Dialogue?
Lyon, France. On Tuesday, April 1st 2025 at 6:30 PM, the Catholic University of Lyon welcomes Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco, Archbishop of Algiers, for a conference entitled “The Abu Dhabi Declaration on Human Fraternity: A Counter-Model for Interreligious Dialogue?”
The Declaration on Human Fraternity signed on February 4, 2019, in Abu Dhabi jointly by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of al-Azhar is the result of a dialogue between two men from two different religions. Does it therefore fall within the framework of interreligious dialogue?

Lyon, France. Le mardi 1ᵉʳ avril 2025 à 18h30, l’Université Catholique de Lyon accueille le Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco, archevêque d’Alger, pour une conférence intitulée “La déclaration d’Abu Dhabi sur la fraternité humaine, contre-modèle du dialogue interreligieux ?”.
La déclaration sur la fraternité humaine signée le 4 février 2019 à Abu Dhabi conjointement par le Pape François et le Grand Imam d’al-Azhar est le fruit d’un dialogue entre deux hommes de deux religions différentes. Rentre-t-elle pour autant dans le cadre du dialogue interreligieux ?

ليون، فرنسا. يوم الثلاثاء 1 أبريل 2025 في السادسة والنصف مساءً، تستضيف الجامعة الكاثوليكية في ليون الكاردينال جان-بول فيسكو، رئيس أساقفة الجزائر، لإلقاء محاضرة بعنوان «إعلان أبوظبي حول الأخوّة الإنسانية، نموذجٌ مضادٌّ للحوار بين الأديان؟».
إعلان الأخوّة الإنسانية، الذي وقّعه في 4 فبراير 2019 بأبوظبي البابا فرنسيس وشيخ الأزهر معاً، ثمرةُ حوار بين رجلَين من ديانتَين مختلفتَين. لكن هل يدخل ذلك فعلاً في إطار الحوار بين الأديان؟
