The conference attracted great public attention. It took place in the premises of the Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies. Its two main subjects were the protection and the use of holy sites in Jerusalem which are claimed as objects of worship by two or more religions and/or denominations, as well as the state of affairs in the relations between the Holy See and the State of Israel.
