ABSTRACT
In this chapter, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) are elaborating a project for an international exhibition on the scientific achievements of the Islamic civilization that will be shown in a number of capitals around the world. Considering Kofi Annan's report on 11 September 2000, it is possible to argue that the terrorist attacks had, amongst their objectives, also the failure of the Dialogue among Civilizations and, surely, the deterioration of international security and peaceful international relations. If the links between the terrorist attacks and the war in Afghanistan have always been clear, similarly evident, though, are the links between the terrorist attacks and their aim to weaken the variety of initiatives of Intercultural Dialogue. When the USA and the UK jointly intervened in the conflict after the 9/11 attacks, the situation for both Afghan refugees and those internally displaced became even worse.
