Cardinal Theodore McCarrick at Tuesday Newsmaker

Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, former archbishop of Washington, and Azizah al-HIbri, emeritus professor of law at the University of Richmond, will discuss the Marrakech Declaration to improve the lives of religious minorities in Muslim countries at a Club Newsmaker in the Bloomberg Room at 10 a.m., Tuesday..

In January 2016 more than 250 Muslim religious leaders, heads of state, and scholars, reached agreement on the Marrakesh Declaration, which spells out the rights of religious minorities in Islamic countries. The conference held in Morocco included both Muslims and non-Muslims and was the first such meeting since the 622 C.E. Charter of Medina, the Muslim world’s first constitution, which spelled out the rights of minorities in Islamic law.

Like all Newsmakers, this event is open to credentialed media and NPC members, free of charge. No advance registration is required.
