As a non-governmental organisation with a special relationship with the United Nations, MWPF carries out its activities independent from, though in close consultation with the United Nations Office Geneva.

Previously, the organisation has been chaired by H.E. Dr. Vladimir Petrovsky, Ambassador of the Russian Federation, former Under-Secretary General of the United Nations and former Director General of the United Nations Office in Geneva. He was also the driving force behind the NGO Comprehensive Dialogue among Civilizations, headed by its Seceretary General, Michael S. Karlen, in Geneva.

The Foundation cooperates with the restoration expert Abraham Joel (New York).
