As illustrated during the symposium organized by the Order of Malta at UN Office at Geneva on 27 May 2015, faith-based humanitarian organizations (FBOs) and actors have an increasingly crucial role to play in promoting a restraint in the use of violence and facilitating mutual understanding in today's armed conflcts, notably in Ukraine and in Syria. Beyond the fact that FBOs were at the roots of humanitarianism, most of them, actively engaged in humanitarian action and coordination on the ground, remain firmly committed to the respect of IHL and to the core humanitarian principles, notably that of neutrality. FBOs are therefore key partners to access the civilian populations in conflict areas as well as to maintain a channel of communication with the affected communities, especially when national State's structures are collapsing. Both in terms of gaining trust of populations and conflicting parties, and promoting reconciliation and resilience building, FBOs have a specific added value in humanitarian assistance and protection. This should be emphasized by the international community at a time when intercultural and interreligious dialogues are facing historical challenges.
