The Bahá'í Faith requires believers to avoid prejudice in daily life, to be friendly to people of all religions, social statuses, nationalities or various cultural traditions.
In 1985, as a contribution to the 1986 International Year of Peace, the international governing body of the Bahá'í Faith, the Universal House of Justice, released a major statement on the promotion of peace, that was distributed worldwide by the Bahá'í community.
