nies from 1619 through 1865;

Whereas slavery in America resembled no other form of invol-

Whereas the system ofjure raeial segregation hrown as
de
"Jirn Crow," whieh arose in eertain parts of the Nation
following the Civil'War to ereate separate and unequal
societies for whites and African-Amerieans, was a direct

In our times, the common good is increasingly threatend by transnational organized crime, the

prevent and counter criminal activiUes, by promoting intemationaljudicial cooperation on
criminal mafterc.

In ratiffing numerous international convenUons in these areas, and acting also on behalf of
Vatican City State, the Holy See has conshntly mainhined that such agrcements are effiective
means to prevent criminal activities that threaten human dignity, the common good and peace.

With a view to renewing the Apostolic See's commiBnent to cooperate to thee ends, by means
of this Apostolic Letter issued Mottt Prrynq I eshblish $at:

when such crimes are commifted by the persons referred b in

c) any other crime whose prosecution is required by an internaUonal agreement


ratified by the Holy See, if the perpetrator is physically present in the territory of
Vatican City State and has not been extradited.

2. The crimes referred to in paragraph 1 are to be judged pursuant to the criminal law in force in
Vatican City State at the time of their commission, without prejudice to the general principles of
the legal system on the temporal application of criminal laws.

)(LVIII World Day of Peace 2015: No longer slaves, but brothers and sisters I Francis Page I of8

MESSAGE OF HIS HOUNESS


POPE FRANCIS
FORTHE CELEBRATION OF THE
WORLD DAY OF PEACE

1 JANUARY 2015

NO TONGER SLAVES, BUT BROTHERS AND STSTERS

1. At the beginning of this New Year, which we welcome as God's gracious gift to all humanity, I
offer heartfelt wishes of peace to every man and woman, to all the world's peoples and nations,
to heads of shte and govemment, and to religious leaders. In doing so, I pray for an end to
wars, conflicts and the great suffering caused by human agency, by epidemics past and present,
and by the devastation wrought by natura! disasters. I pray especially that, on the basis of our
common calling to cooperate with God and all people of good will for the advancement of
harmony and peace in the world, we may resist the tempbtion to act in a manner unwoftfry of
our humanity.

In my Message for Peace last year, I spoke of "the desire for a full life... which includes a longing
for fraternity which draws us to fellowship with others and enables us to see them not as
enemie or rivals, but as brothers and sisters to be accepted and embraced".[1] Since we are by
nature relational beings, meant to find fulfilment through interpersonal relationships inspired by
justice and love, it is fundamental for our human development that our dignity, freedom and
autonomy be acknowledged and respected. Tragically, the growing scourge of man's exploitation
by man gravely damages the life of communion and our calling to forge interpersonal relations
marked by respect, justice and love. This abominable phenomenon, which leads to contempt for
the fundamenbl rights of others and to the suppression of their freedom and dignity, Ekes many
forms. I would like briefly to consider these, so that, in the light of God's word, we can consider
all men and women "no longer slaves, but brotherc and sisted',

Listening to Gd? plan for humanity

2. The theme I have chosen for this year's mssage is drawn foom Saint Paul's letter to
Philemon, in which the Apostle asks his co-worker to welcome Onesimus, formerly Philemon's
slave, now a Christian and, therefore, according to Paul, worthy of being considered a brother.
The Apostle of the Gentiles writes: "Perhaps this is why he was parted from you for a while, that
you might have him back for wer, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a beloved
brothef (w. 15-16). Onesimus became Philemon's brotherwhen he became a Christian.
Conversion to Christ the beginning of a life lived Christian discipluhip, thus constitutes a new
I
bitth (d. 2 Cor5:L7; Pett:3) which generates fraternityas the fundamental bond of family life
and the basis of life in society.
