ABSTRACT
In the centuries-old history of the Mediterranean, the relationship of proximity has always been characterized by an alternation of peace and prosperity on one side and conflicts and wars on the other side. The plural model of the Mediterranean, as an expression of a culture shared by peoples of all sides, today is insufficient to offer suitable answers for the realization of peace policies and for the resolution of conflicts. The aspiration for peaceful coexistence and the plural and multi-verse characteristic of the Mediterranean require that the social, political, and legal instruments are identified to achieve a goal and to protect the fundamental rights of the human person. Cooperation and dialogue between religions, in the context of the complexity of the Mediterranean, assumes strategic importance as a way of achieving peaceful coexistence and balanced development.
