In his English-language address, which was made public today, Archbishop Tomasi indicated that "pandemics, international migration, urban violence and environmental degradation" all serve as a reminder that "coexistence among social and political communities, and the construction of a peaceful world order, are only possible on the basis of upholding the fundamental value of every person's human dignity."
THE 94TH SESSION OF THE COUNCIL of the International Organization for Migration was held in Geneva from 27-30 November. Among the participants was Archbishop Silvano Tomasi C.S., Holy See permanent observer to the Office of the United Nations and Specialized Institutions in Geneva. Addressing the assembly in English on November 29, he expressed the view that "migrants, aware of their rights, can be more secure in offering their services and talents, and the receiving community, well informed and respectful of these rights, will feel freer in extending its solidarity in order to build together a common future."
