50 years ago, the Second Vatican Council released the declaration Nostra Aetate, which noted the spiritual and intellectual contributions of the world’s major religions and particularly decried acts of antisemitism. In town for the anniversary, Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism Ira Forman and Acting U.S. Envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Arsalan Suleman participated in multiple awareness-building events in Rome. The envoys gave an interview to Vatican Radio, participated in a panel discussion at John Cabot University and met with Vatican officials. The envoys spoke on their work promoting cooperation between different religious groups and discussed worldwide threats to religious liberty.
