Content 

Tolerance , in short, is the willingness to accept beliefs , customs or behaviours different from your own without having to agree with them. According to the Universal Declaration of Humans Rights, art 26: tolerance should be one of the key components of education.

The Declaration on the Principles of Tolerance proclaimed and signed by the member states of the UNESCO in the year 1995 that tolerance is “ respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world's cultures, our forms of expression and ways of being human. It is fostered by knowledge, openness, communication, and freedom of thought, conscience and belief. Tolerance is harmony in difference. It is not only a moral duty, it is also a political and legal requirement. Tolerance, the virtue that makes peace possible, contributes to the replacement of the culture of war by a culture of peace”. Also, tolerance means “the responsibility that upholds human rights, pluralism (including cultural pluralism), democracy and the rule of law. It involves the rejection of dogmatism and absolutism and affirms the standards set out in international human rights instruments

It also states that tolerance is NOT “concession, condescension or indulgence. Tolerance is, above all, an active attitude prompted by recognition of the universal human rights and fundamental freedoms of others. In no circumstance can it be used to justify infringements of these fundamental values. Tolerance is to be exercised by individuals, groups and States”.

In sum, the text signed by UNESCO in 1995 sums up that tolerance   “means that one is free to adhere to one's own convictions and accepts that others adhere to theirs. It means accepting the fact that human beings, naturally diverse in their appearance, situation, speech, behaviour and values, have the right to live in peace
