Summary/Abstract: The Document on Human Brotherhood for World Peace and Common Coexistence, signed in Abu Dhabi on February 4, 2019 by Pope Francis and Ahmad Al-Tayyib, Great Iman of al-Azhar, is a development of the teaching of Vatican II and of the subsequent magisterium on fraternity which derives from the only Creator God. The article analyzes which idea of fraternity is proposed and which are the most underlined aspects; it also addresses the criticisms that on the Catholic side have been addressed to Pope Francis, especially on the way in which the Document presents religious pluralism. The Document is an important example of what the potential of interreligious dialogue is today and represents a common call to action to face various injustices in our world.
