    19 April 2005 Your Holiness, I Should Like to Extend to You My Heartfelt

    THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 19 April 2005 Your Holiness, I should like to extend to you my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes upon your assumption of the highest office at the head of the Roman Catholic Church. On behalf of the United Nations, I should like to express my earnest hope for a long and fruitful Pontificate during which Your Holiness could advance the promotion of social justice, human dignity, and universal values for all. The United Nations looks forward to further deepening its cooperation with the Holy See so that we may face in partnership the many challenges that confront our increasingly inter-dependent world. I know that your wisdom, and your faith, will help us build on the legacy of your illustrious predecessor John Paul II in favour of dialogue and peace. On this historic day that marks the beginning of your Pontificate, allow me to reiterate my sincere congratulations to Your Holiness and to Catholics around the world. Please accept, Your Holiness, the assurances of my highest consideration. Kofi A.

  • A Catholic Response to Call to Action 48 of the Truth and Reconciliation

    A Catholic Response to Call to Action 48 of the Truth and Reconciliation

    1 A Catholic Response to Call to Action 48 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (On Adopting and Implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples) 1. Introduction: The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada issued 94 Calls to Action almost a year ago. One of these called on all faith groups in Canada to “formally adopt and comply with the principles, norms, and standards of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a framework for reconciliation.”1 Catholic Bishops, institutes of consecrated life, societies of apostolic life and other Catholic organizations in Canada support this Declaration and believe that its spirit can point a way forward to reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada. Further, the Holy See’s office that participates in the United Nations – the Holy See Permanent Observer to the UN – has explicitly endorsed this Declaration on numerous occasions.2,3,4,5 The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was passed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007. Technically known as a “human rights instrument” rather than a treaty or convention, once passed it is not signed or ratified. Since it is directed to the governments of nation states, the Declaration does not, in the strict sense, refer to churches or faith groups. But this does not mean that churches and faith groups cannot seek to live out its principles. Because churches and faith groups are an integral part of the society for which the government speaks and acts, it is important for us to make our voices heard.

  • Anticorruption Policy in Croatia: Benchmark for Eu

    Anticorruption Policy in Croatia: Benchmark for Eu

    1 Damir Grubiša Anti-Corruption Policy in Croatia: a Benchmark for EU Accession In 1998, the European Commission concluded in its evaluation of the central and east European countries' requests for EU membership in the context of the preparation for Agenda 2000 that the fight against political corruption in these countries needed to be upgraded. The Commission's report on the progress of each candidate country can be summed up as follows: "The efforts undertaken by candidate countries are not always adequate to the entity of the problem itself. Although some of these countries initiate new programmes for the control and prevention of corruption, it is too early for a judgment on the efficiency of such measures. A lack of determination can be seen in confronting this problem and in rooting out corruption in the greatest part of the candidate countries". Similar evaluations were repeated in subsequent reports on the progress of candidate countries from central and east Europe. Accordingly, it was concluded in 2001 that political corruption is a serious problem in five out of ten countries of that region: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania and Slovakia, and a constant problem in three more countries: Hungary, Lithuania and Latvia. The Commission refrained from expressing critical remarks only in the case of two countries – Estonia and Slovenia. Up to 2002, only eight out of fifteen member states ratified the basic instrument that the EU had adopted against corruption, namely the EU Convention on the Safeguarding of Economic Interests of the European Communities. Some of the founding members of the European Community were rated as countries with a "high level of corruption" – Germany, France and, specifically, Italy.

  • Sports in the Christian Life by Michael P

    Sports in the Christian Life by Michael P

    19 Sports in the Christian Life BY MICHAEL P. KERRIGAN, C.S.P. Sports, physical exercise, and recreational activity contribute to our development as spiritual beings composed of body and soul. Today as sports take on an increasingly large role in popular culture internationally, they are becoming a new field for twenty-first century Christian mission. eeing “the world of sport today” as “a field of Christian mission” may be a novel concept for many people. On the superficial level, the spiri- Stual values of Christian discipleship would seem to conflict with the ideals of sport, which are viewed primarily as a secular activity. Sports are taking on a larger role in popular culture internationally. Some scholars claim they are a universally recognized aspect of contempo- rary society as evidenced by their ability to engage both participants and spectators and to exert significant influence upon societal values.1 The fact that sports can draw huge crowds to competitive events demonstrates their potential influence upon the masses of humanity today, like no other time in human history. As a social phenomenon characterized by globalization and instantaneous Internet communication, sports can overcome social classes, cultural differences, linguistic barriers, and geographical boundaries among peoples. On the other hand, sports have been used to promote political agendas, national ideologies, and economic gain. The restoration of the modern Summer and Winter Olympic Games as a way to bring the world together in peaceful international competition have been used on occasion for divisive demonstrations such as boycotts and displays of triumphal nationalism on the athletic playing fields.

This should not be seen as an ‘extra’ or as a concession which could be postponed in the face of press- ing national concerns. It is a grave and unconditional moral responsibility, founded on the unity of the human race, and on the common dignity and shared destiny of rich and poor alike, who are being drawn ever closer by the process of globalization. Trade conditions favourable to poor countries, including, above all, broad and un- conditional access to markets, should be made available and guaranteed in lasting and reliable ways. Provision must also be made for the rapid, total and unconditional cancellation of the external debt of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) and of the Least De- veloped Countries (LDCs). Measures should also be adopted to ensure that these coun- tries do not fall once again into situations of unsustainable debt.
