La Commissione era stata istituita da Paolo VI, il 19 marzo 1970, con il Motu Proprio Apostolicae Caritatis.2 Quell’organismo ereditava, tra altri, anche i compiti dell’Ufficio Migrazione, stabilito in duplice sezione presso la Segreteria di Stato, nel 1946, e l’Ufficio del Delegato per le opere d’emigrazione, creato dalla Costituzione Apostolica Exsul Familia, del primo agosto 1952.3 Questo, a sua volta, aveva preso il posto dell’Ufficio del Prelato per l’emigrazione italiana, costituito con una Notificazione della Concistoriale del 23 Ottobre 1920,4 sotto il pontificato di Benedetto XV. Prima ancora, San Pio X aveva creato presso la Concistoriale l’Ufficio Speciale per l’Emigrazione con il Motu Proprio Cum Omnes Catholicos, del 5 Agosto 1912.5 Ma l’intuizione di istituire un organismo unitario e centrale per l’assistenza ai migranti di ogni nazionalità risale al Beato Vescovo Giovanni Battista Scalabrini. Egli ne espose il progetto a San Pio X in una lettera del 22 luglio 1904 e, più dettagliatamente, in un memoriale del 4 maggio 1905.6 Nell’arco di questa appassionante storia, la Rivista “On the Move. Migrazioni e turismo” uscì con il suo primo numero nel mese di settembre 1971 e mantenne tale titolo fino al numero 47. Con il numero 48, edito nel mese di luglio 1987, cambiò formato e veste tipografica e assunse il titolo che ancora porta attualmente, “People on the Move”, con il desiderio di continuare a “provvedere, nelle misure consentite, al bene spirituale della gente che, ad onde incalzanti, si muove sulle strade del mondo”.7 1 AAS LXXX (1988) 841-930. 2 AAS LXII (1970) 193-197. 3 AAS XLIV (1952) 649-704. 4 Notificazione Esistono in Italia, in AAS XII (1920) 534-535. 5 AAS IV (1912) 526-527. 6 Archivio Generale Scalabriniano 3020/1. 7 C.

Spesso, per esempio, porta come conseguenza la separazione delle famiglie; inoltre può essere occasione di contrabbando e di sfruttamento di persone; di tratta, in diversi casi, soprattutto di donne e bambini, da parte di perso- ne senza scrupoli, creandosi così nuove forme di schiavitù. Le migra- zioni possono anche causare tensioni sociali collegate all’integrazione o meno degli immigrati e il sorgere di discriminazione, razzismo e xe- nofobia – realtà diverse ma con gli stessi effetti –, soprattutto quando la presenza dei nuovi arrivati senza documenti è forte. Ma non ci dobbiamo fermare solo alle questioni che gettano ombra su questo fenomeno. L’emigrazione non è solo un problema, ma può diventare un’opportunità, ha ripetuto spesso il Magistero della Chiesa, e Papa Francesco lo ha ribadito in diverse occasioni. Migranti, richiedenti asilo e rifugiati possono offrire un importante contributo nella società di arrivo. Difatti per essi è doveroso rispettare l’identità e le leggi del Paese di destino, impegnarsi per una giusta in- tegrazione in esso e impararne la lingua. Occorre avere stima e rispetto per il Paese ospitante, fino a giungere ad amarlo e difenderlo. La socie- tà, infatti, è anche frutto delle mutue relazioni esistenti tra i suoi compo- nenti, e dunque anche tra immigrati e autoctoni, dipendenti della loro capacità di dialogare per giungere al reciproco arricchimento creando così una società “nuova” per tutti. Certamente la parola dialogo è diventata una delle accezioni mag- giormente soggette a usura, a inflazione: qualcuno la confonde addi- rittura con una semplice conversazione. Dialogo è invece, soprattutto, confronto, interazione, capacità di ascoltare e di entrare nella visione dell’altro, disponibilità ad accoglierlo, senza semplicismi e superficia- lità e senza perdere la propria identità. Il dialogo poi non si riduce a cosa intellettuale, ma soprattutto deve coinvolgere la vita vissuta, e va espresso magari con un semplice gesto di rispetto, di saluto, di soli- darietà, di fraternità. Il vero incontro, infatti, non avviene tra culture astrattamente considerate, ma tra persone concrete, che pure hanno la loro cultura e la loro religione: parte cioè dal vissuto delle persone stes- se, dalla loro esperienza quotidiana in famiglia, sul lavoro, nella scuo- la. In questo modo è possibile colmare quel deficit di cittadinanza e di coscienza mondiale, di “responsabilità collettiva” che è alla base, oggi, di alcuni movimenti di violenza, considerata come unica soluzione di inveterati problemi. PeopleMove_124_2016.indd 5 11/07/16 12:50 6 People on the Move ~ n. 124 In tutto questo, continua ad essere molto forte la preoccupazione della Chiesa per i profughi, i rifugiati e i migranti. Il suo impegno si manifesta nella concretezza delle iniziative umanitarie realizzate dalle istituzioni ecclesiali come le commissioni episcopali e diocesane, le as- sociazioni di volontariato, i gruppi di laici impegnati e le strutture delle parrocchie e degli istituti religiosi. La Santa Sede, in particolare, non ha mai smesso

Specifically, the upcoming UN Food Systems Summit, which will take place in New York, and which will be preceded by a pre-Summit in Rome between the 26th and 28th of July 2021, will focus on the need “to transform agricultural food systems so that they may become catalysts of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda; increasing resilience in light of the Covid- 19 pandemic, strengthening local value chains, improving nutrition, educating producers on the re-use and recycling of resources so that food waste may be reduced, supplying healthy diets accessible to all, and being environmentally sustainable and respectful of local cultures”.1 Given that food security and nutrition are intricately linked to the impacts of climate change, the conservation of natural resources, ecosystems and agricultural production, the UN Secretary- General António Guterres, has affirmed that the upcoming Summit will focus on giving due recognition to the inextricable link that exists between food security, the climate crisis, and biodiversity.

    N. 180711b Wednesday 11.07.2018 Intervention of the Holy See Permanent Observer at the FAO at the Conclusion of the Conference “Ensuring socially, environmentally and commercially sustainable fisheries” The following is the intervention that Msgr. Fernando Chica Arellano, Holy See Permanent Observer at the United Nations Organizations and Bodies for Food and Agriculture (FAO., IFAD., WFP.), pronounced yesterday at the end of the Conference “Ensuring socially, environmentally and commercially sustainable fisheries”, held as part of the 33rd Session of the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) of the FAO, taking place from 9 to 13 July 2018 in Rome: Intervention by Msgr. Fernando Chica Arellano Mr. Deputy Director General, Ambassadors and Permanent Representatives, Officials of FAO, Illustrious Rapporteurs, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am pleased to have this opportunity to offer the concluding remarks to this meeting. A special word of appreciation and gratitude goes to the co-organizers of this conference, in particular, the Netherlands, the European Commission and the European social partners in the fisheries sector. Along with these Delegations, the Holy See has wished to support this moment of reflection to promote the objective of sustainable fishing to meet the demands of people, but also to confirm that the many institutions of the Catholic Church throughout the world are committed to developing and carrying out various initiatives to contribute to this effort. We must acknowledge the impressive efforts that FAO is carrying out in this sector; it is serious and qualified work that everyone appreciates and that makes the Organization a central structure within the United Nations system for the sound management of the problems of fisheries and fishermen.

  • Indigenous Peoples, Custodians of Nature: Pope Francis' Encyclical
    N. 190329f Friday 29.03.2019 Seminar on “Indigenous peoples, custodians of nature: Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato si’ and the Sustainable Development Goals” The Holy See Permanent Observer at the FAO, IFAD and WFP, Msgr. Fernando Chica Arellano, spoke yesterday during the study seminar on “Indigenous peoples, custodians of nature: Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato si’ and the Sustainable Development Goals”, which took place at the Rome headquarters of the FAO. In his address, Msgr. Chica Arellano emphasized that caring for the common home means being able to suffer with the earth, to spend oneself for it, to know how to listen to the “cry” that the Holy Father describes so lucidly in his Encyclical Laudato si’, and in this regard he repeated the Pope’s words in the Fourth Global Meeting of the Indigenous Peoples’ Forum at the IFAD, held in Rome this February: “Indigenous peoples are a cry of hope. They remind us that human beings have a shared responsibility in the care of the ‘common home’. … The earth suffers and indigenous peoples know of the dialogue with the earth, they know what it means to listen to the earth, to see the earth, to touch the earth. They know the art of living well in harmony with the earth”. “However”, he continued, “it must be recognized that the extraordinary cultural and spiritual patrimony of many indigenous peoples risks being swept away by a sort of economic and ideological colonization cloaked by prospects of development. The distinct and diverse qualities of multicultural communities are threatened by homogenization and standardization of culture and trade which are the logical consequence of the process of globalization… It is customary to relate the term tradition with something old and immutable that can only be imitated and reproduced, but it is not so.
