  • The Right to Peace, Which Occurred on 19 December 2016 by a Majority of Its Member States
    In July 2016, the Human Rights Council (HRC) of the United Nations in Geneva recommended to the General Assembly (UNGA) to adopt a Declaration on the Right to Peace, which occurred on 19 December 2016 by a majority of its Member States. The Declaration on the Right to Peace invites all stakeholders to C. Guillermet D. Fernández M. Bosé guide themselves in their activities by recognizing the great importance of practicing tolerance, dialogue, cooperation and solidarity among all peoples and nations of the world as a means to promote peace. To reach this end, the Declaration states that present generations should ensure that both they and future generations learn to live together in peace with the highest aspiration of sparing future generations the scourge of war. Mr. Federico Mayor This book proposes the right to enjoy peace, human rights and development as a means to reinforce the linkage between the three main pillars of the United Nations. Since the right to life is massively violated in a context of war and armed conflict, the international community elaborated this fundamental right in the 2016 Declaration on the Right to Peace in connection to these latter notions in order to improve the conditions of life of humankind. Ambassador Christian Guillermet Fernandez - Dr. David The Right to Peace: Fernandez Puyana Past, Present and Future The Right to Peace: Past, Present and Future, demonstrates the advances in the debate of this topic, the challenges to delving deeper into some of its aspects, but also the great hopes of strengthening the path towards achieving Peace.

J. H. HERTZ) n Second Impression HUMPHREY MILFORD OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON EDINBURGH GLASGOW COPENHAGEN NEW YORK TORONTO MELBOURNE CAPE TOWN BOMBAY CALCUTTA MADRAS SHANGHAI PEKING 5681—1921 TO THE SACRED MEMORY OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 44S736 PREFATORY NOTE THIS Book of Jewish Thoughts brings the message of Judaism together with memories of Jewish martyrdom and spiritual achievement throughout the ages. Its first part, ^I am an Hebrew \ covers the more important aspects of the life and consciousness of the Jew. The second, ^ The People of the Book \ deals with IsraeFs religious contribution to mankind, and touches upon some epochal events in IsraeFs story. In the third, ' The Testimony of the Nations \ will be found some striking tributes to Jews and Judaism from non-Jewish sources. The fourth pai-t, ^ The Voice of Prayer ', surveys the Sacred Occasions of the Jewish Year, and takes note of their echoes in the Liturgy. The fifth and concluding part, ^The Voice of Wisdom \ is, in the main, a collection of the deep sayings of the Jewish sages on the ultimate problems of Life and the Hereafter. The nucleus from which this Jewish anthology gradually developed was produced three years ago for the use of Jewish sailors and soldiers. To many of them, I have been assured, it came as a re-discovery of the imperishable wealth of Israel's heritage ; while viii PREFATORY NOTE to the non-Jew into whose hands it fell it was a striking revelation of Jewish ideals and teachings.

    THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 25, Number 9 Thursday, March 12, 2009 The Young People’s Theatre Company brings to Michigan City by Charles McKelvy A Michigan City couple walk into Elston Middle School Performing Arts Center on March 21 at 7:30 p.m., sit down, and laugh themselves silly for a really, really good cause. Why? Because Chicago’s legendary comedy theatre The Sec- ond City will aim their blistering comedy at Michigan City that evening in a single performance to raise need- ed funds for The Young People’s Theatre Company. Why? Because The Young People’s Theatre Company has been mounting Broadway quality productions since they fi rst dazzled local audiences with a sparkling rendition of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in 2004. Formed by Steve Gonzalez and Andrew Tallack- son to give La Porte County youth from 13 to 21 an op- portunity to excel in theatrical productions. Members of The Second City Green Company The newly minted theatre company sold out their per- formances of Joseph and went on to thrill their growing audi- ence with The Wiz and Scrooge the Mu- sical in 2005, Beau- ty and the Beast in 2006, Wizard of Oz in 2007, The Fan- tasticks in 2007 and 2008, and their celebrated reprise of Joseph and the Amazing Technicol- or Dreamcoat last summer.

This October, we traveled to Rome with Jesuits from all over the world for the Society of Jesus’ 36th General Congregation (GC36). This historic meeting was the 36th time the global Society has come together since the first General Congregation in 1558, nearly two years after St. Ignatius died. General Congregations are always summoned upon the death or resignation of the Jesuits’ Superior General, and this year we came together to elect a Jesuit to succeed Fr. Adolfo Nicolás, SJ, who has faithfully served as Superior General since 2008. After prayerful consideration, we elected Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal, SJ, a Jesuit priest from Venezuela. Father Sosa is warm, friendly, and down-to-earth, with a great sense of humor that puts people at ease. He has offered his many gifts to intellectual, educational, and social apostolates at all levels in service to the Gospel and the universal Church. One of his most impressive achievements came during his time as rector of la Universidad Católica del Táchira, where he helped the student body grow from 4,000 to 8,000 students and gave the university a strong social orientation to study border issues in Venezuela. The Jesuits in Venezuela have deep love and respect for Fr.
