Universal Peace Federation

Partnered for Global Unity, Peace, and Human Dignity

We are honored to partner with the Universal Peace Federation (UPF), an interreligious and international network of individuals and organizations committed to building a world where everyone can live with freedom, harmony, cooperation, and prosperity.

As part of this partnership, Relief Alliance cofounders Jeremy McNally and Aiden McNally have been appointed Peace Ambassadors, promoting shared initiatives that advance global unity, peace, and human dignity.

UPF's Special Relationship with the United Nations

UPF holds General Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), a testament to its active and credible role within global policy circles.

Through this status, UPF contributes meaningfully to the goals and programs of the U.N., especially in areas like:

  • Interfaith peacebuilding
  • Peace education
  • Strengthening marriage and family
  • Sustainable development
  • Conflict mediation and women’s empowerment
  • Revitalization of the United Nations

UPF’s Core Mission and Principles

UPF’s mission extends beyond preventing conflict, it envisions peace in all human relationships:

  • Promotes revival of the United Nations via interreligious councils
  • Cultivates global Ambassadors for Peace who lead service and dialogue initiatives
  • Fosters interreligious cooperation anchored in universal human dignity
  • Runs humanitarian, educational, character, and leadership programs

UPF’s foundational principles include:

  • Unity as one human family created by God
  • Spirituality and moral growth as highest human qualities
  • Family as the “school of love and peace”
  • “Living for the sake of others” as a guiding ethic
  • Peace through cooperation beyond divisions of race, religion, and nationality

How UPF and Relief Alliance Collaborate

By uniting with UPF, Relief Alliance amplifies our shared vision for a healthy, just, and peaceful world. Together we:

  • Elevate interfaith dialogue
  • Support peace education and community leadership
  • Empower families and youth as agents of peace
  • Advance global cooperation under the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals

The appointment of Jeremy and Aiden McNally as Peace Ambassadors further strengthens this collaboration, serving as a bridge between UPF initiatives and Relief Alliance programs globally.
