Welcome to the new Apostolic Nuncio to Israel and Cyprus, Apostolic Delegate to Jerusalem and Palestine In Jerusalem, Archbishop Adolfo Tito Yllana replaces Archbishop Leopoldo Girelli, appointed Apostolic Nuncio to India. The members of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre address a prayer to heaven for Archbishop Adolfo Tito Yllana, who was appointed by Pope Francis – on June 3 – Apostolic Nuncio to Israel and Cyprus, as well as Apostolic Delegate to Jerusalem and Palestine. Previously, Archbishop Yllana, 73, was Nuncio to Australia, after having served in the papal diplomatic service on four continents. This summer, he takes up his new post in a delicate context, marked by the recent upsurge in Israeli-Palestinian violence and the current political recomposition in Israel. Born 6 February 1948, in Naga City, Philippines, he was ordained a priest 19 March 1972. After graduating in canon and civil law from the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome, and completing his studies at the Ecclesiastical Academy, in 1984 he entered the diplomatic service of the Holy See, working successively in the pontifical delegations in Ghana, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Lebanon, Hungary, and Taiwan. In December 2001, Pope John Paul II appointed him Apostolic Nuncio to Papua New Guinea and consecrated him bishop on 6 January 2002 in St. Peter’s Basilica. Later, the Pope entrusted him with the nunciature of the Solomon Islands, also in the Pacific. In 2006, Pope Benedict XVI sent him as Nuncio to Pakistan, after which he went to the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2010. Since February 2015, he has occupied the post of ambassador of the Holy See in Australia. Archbishop Adolfo Tito Yllana speaks English, Spanish, Italian and French. With his new mandate, he replaces in Jerusalem Archbishop Leopoldo Girelli, 68, appointed in March as Apostolic Nuncio to India, whom the Order of the Holy Sepulchre wishes to thank very sincerely for his valuable service in the Holy Land. - 1 - (July 2021) - 2 -.

CHRISTIANITY WORLD • POLITICS No2020 24, JOURNAL OF THE CATHOLIC SOCIAL THOUGHT DOI: 10.21697/CSP.2020.24.1.05 DOI: Brian D. Scarnecchia Ave Maria of Law in Naples, USA ORCID: 0000-0003-1399-9303 Why Rights are Wrong in ASEAN and Beyond: A Critique of the Foundations of Universal Human Rights Abstract: The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a battle- ground, one theatre in what Pope Francis has referred to as a “World War” where universal human rights, ersatz rights, and Asian values clash. Its people seek to escape old style Asian dictators while at the same time ward off a new ideological colonisation. Part One of this article provides a brief overview of the development of ASEAN and its human rights mechanisms. Part Two then examines whether the original axiomatic listing of human rights or an iteration of human rights founded upon the human genome or a Kantian underpinning can legitimise human rights and, if not, whether reference to the human soul made in the image of God with its natural law may substantiate the human rights project, perhaps, articulated as congruent with the purpose and design courts now recognise in the natural laws found in every ecosystem of nature. Part Three contends that aspects of the public trust doctrine, i.e., the natural use principle and the precautionary principle, are analogous to natural law principles and, because ‘the book of nature is one”, these environmental law principles may help jurists to recognise a theory of natural law liability in order to promote and defend authentic human rights.

I would like to convey our appreciation to His Excellency, the Apostolic Nuncio, for the kind invitation. 2 The visit of His Holiness Pope John Paul II to Singapore in November 1986 was a historic event. Many will have vivid memories of the 80,000 people who gathered for the Papal Mass at the National Stadium 25 years ago. His Holiness and his message touched the hearts of Singaporeans of all faiths - Catholics and non-Catholics alike - and from all walks of life. 3 His Holiness left a huge legacy. He was a world leader; a symbol of compassion and hope for millions. His message of tolerance, peace and harmony remains highly relevant today, especially in a multi-cultural and multi-religious society like Singapore. 4 This year also marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Singapore and the Holy See.
